Mexico City: Vegetarian Chains
I was writing a comment on Chowhound earlier tonight and I realized that I'd not put information in the blog about a couple of chain restaurants in Mexico city that serve a pretty wide selection to vegetarians. They are not strictly vegetarian, but they have a surprising number of vegetarian options. It's rare that I can open a menu and have a selection of more than three things. With these two restaurants, I think I had to spend 20 minutes or more deciding from among their various options. Vegans will have a harder time, especially at Saks, as traditional food here tends to use dairy products.
The two are Saks and La Buena Tierra. Saks is traditional and has an elegant atmosphere, whereas La Buena Tierra is more international and modern. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos to share with you of these two places, but the continuation of this entry has a list of their locations. There are other places to write about, but it's handy to know these since they have many locations.
