I fell in love with falafel at Green Vegetarian. With that being said, when I eat at Green, I stick to the crowd favorite Mediterranean bowl. The Mediterranean Bowl is so colorful, there is no question you are eating all the right things. Quinoa, kale salad, tzatziki, green olives, falafel patties, cucumbers, tomato, carrots, dolmas, and pecan hummus, all served up in a whole wheat tortilla. This dish is large enough to share between two people, or keep it all to yourself! And don’t forget to grab a vegan cupcake on the way out! Visit Green Vegetarian at two locations in San Antonio! Find them at The Pearl, 200 E Grayson St, Suite 120 or Alon at 10003 NW Military, Suite 2115.

senorveggie--2Señor Veggie has a wide variety of vegan items like the black bean nachos, beet burger, and raw pad thai. I tried the good karma bowl, a beautifully displayed dish of kale, sprouts, quinoa, black beans and tempeh – a traditional soy product. The bright orange building and friendly staff made it clear why Señor Veggie is a San Antonio favorite for healthy eating. Of course, dining at Señor Veggie would not be complete without its homemade desserts! Señor Veggie, located on 620 S Presa, is open Tuesday – Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
