Vegan options exist but are limited and not clearly marked. Multiple HappyCow reviews note that cheese and eggs are used in almost everything, and vegan options are few. Staff can sometimes accommodate requests (e.g., 'sin queso'), but the kitchen is not set up for vegan cooking. Some dishes like salads can be veganized by omitting cheese/eggs, and there are some naturally vegan options like porotos granados and fresh juices.
