There were a couple of menu items that appeared to be vegan if ordered without the cotija cheese, so I tried them both. First up was the black bean hummus appetizer, a generous portion consisting of black beans, tahini, garlic, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño, served with chips. It was a little garlicky for my taste, but good nonetheless.
I also ordered the meatless marvel taco, also without the cotija cheese. The filling was a creative mixture of black beans, guacamole, sweet potato, roasted peppers, pickled onion, and fried peppers. It was definitely tasty!

El Rey was okay when we went. The tacos were fine but not incredible, but the margaritas were surprisingly good. Good for pregaming before a Kings game, but I wasn't blown away by their vegan options.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the margaritas were good, at least!
