Vegan Trompo & Bistek Tacos on Corn Tortillas
This weekend was pretty tasty thanks to a new restaurant wanting to take a chance at the vegan crowd in the RGV! Oveja Verde is originally from Monterrey, Mexico. They have been offering vegan tacos in their restaurant for a year now and are currently looking to bring their delicious food to the area. As a test run, they were hosted for a day by a local business (D-Novo Massage Studio.) I was fortunate enough to be able to try their tacos and I am so glad I did!
They provided me with a delicious vegan treat for dinner! The tacos were exploding with wonderful flavor. Fresh cut onions and cilantro covered my Trompo and Bistek tacos and I swear my mouth is still watering this morning as I type this…
I hope the restaurant was successful with their sales yesterday and sees potential in our area. The vegan scene is still growing in the RGV and it’s so exciting to see options beginning to pop up for those of us looking for dining options out on the town.
My two older sons are omnivores and they too loved the food we brought home last night… So this restaurant can certainly stand a chance when it comes to the meat eating crowds! Meatless Monday can certainly be a tasty one for non-believers. 😉
If you have wondered what vegan food can taste like, I encourage you to give these guys a try the next time they are in town. Look up Oveja Verde on Facebook and be on the look out for their next visit. I’m sure you’ll be impressed with their delicious food!
