Vegan Inc was bookmarked weeks before my trip to Mexico and I was excited to eat here…read more
The yelp reviews don't lie, this is really delicious vegan food!
Tucked away in the Southeast region of Monterrey, it has a splendid view of town that lights up gently in the evening.
The interior is open and has a modern rustic look, with a lot of wooden details and plants throughout the restaurant.
It was very difficult to choose what to eat, but this was my meal:
Risotto de Temperado: This was SO GOOD. So creamy and very seasoned. It is topped with what looks like chunks of vegan cheese and squash blossoms. My favorite thing I ordered!
Spicy Dragon Roll: I know I know, I ordered Sushi in Mexico. But this obviously isn't fish and after I saw another yelper's photo of their sushi roll, I really wanted one.
This is a giant roll that can easily be a meal on its own. There are a plethora of veggies inside with avocado sauce drizzled all over the top. The sushi roll was actually pretty good but the ONLY reason I didn't love it is because there is a lot of celery on the roll. The finely chopped veggie that the roll is topped with is mostly celery and I HATE celery. Personally, I despise the texture and flavor, but to another person, they may enjoy the added crunch the celery adds to the roll.
Green Tea Mojito: I expected fresh muddled mint, but there was none. It was overall too sweet for my taste and the green tea tasted artificial. I still enjoyed how refreshing it was, but would choose something else next time.
Service is prompt and pleasant as there were only 3 tables in the restaurant. There was definitely a language barrier since he couldn't speak English, but we made it work. There also isn't an English menu, but it is easy to figure out what dish is what.
To any vegetarians/vegans/gluten-free folks traveling to Monterrey, I highly recommend Vegan Inc!
