I forgot the name of it but I've been to that famous mexican vegan restaurant in the sf mission and the food was excellent and yeah, my expectation of the food from it is different than what I would expect from a non-vegan restaurant.
My expectation from most restaurants serving vegan food is that they are just trying to have something so that vegan people technically can eat there but not necessarily that they will enjoy it.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoYour expectation matches my general experience. I only eat those vegan options, and I rarely enjoy them. It’s not because vegan food can’t be good or because I don’t like vegan food; the restaurants and the people working them simply don’t care to make those options shine like other dishes. It’s not always true. It’s a safe guideline though. I’d say 4/5 cases it’s fair to expect the vegan menu option to be mediocre at best. This varies by locale too, though. It’s a little easier to find okay options in places with more vegan restaurants in general.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoI guess locale is a big part of it. I'm maybe spoiled in the Netherlands where quite a lot of people limit their meat intake and vegan options are plentiful. I'm not sure why my comment above deserved all the downvotes though, I was only sharing my own experience and asking a question.
