Nuno’s Tacos & Vegmex Grill

8024 Spring Valley Rd., #Suite 8024 North Dallas

Vegan, Tex-Mex

This Tex-Mex fusion joint is serving options that reach far beyond the typical Mexican fare. Get your hands on the Tejano BBQ wrap, a tortilla filled with smoked vegetable protein, cheddar cornbread and mac and cheese for a comforting mix of textures. Drizzled in a tangy barbecue sauce made of blueberries and pineapple, the wrap — along with other Nuno’s specialties — lies somewhere in the middle of the wide spectrum between American and Mexican cuisine.

The huitlacoche quesadillas are yet another example of Nuno’s culinary creativity, consisting of a crunchy pan-fried tortilla stuffed with fresh Mexican truffle and housemade mozzarella cheese. Crunchy meets soft, meets smoky, meets cheesy in this all-inclusive Mexican dish.

Nuno’s also rotates out vegan versions of Mexican favorites like birria tacos made of roasted hibiscus flowers and oat-based Marranito (Mexican molasses) shakes. All ingredients are sourced fresh from growers in Mexico and beyond.

Slutty Vegan

2707 Main St. Downtown/Deep Ellum

Vegan, Burgers, Best Of

The chain, rooted in Atlanta, is attempting to revolutionize the burger industry with its all-vegan ingredients: meats, cheeses and breads included. The Dallas location marks its first expansion into Texas state limits, and we think it’s worth a visit. If not to get a bite of the food, at least to get a taste of its personality.

Mildly promiscuous names like the One Night Stand and the Fussy Hussy draw an almost aching curiosity as to what's inside of them. To be honest, we’re not completely sure either; the menu doesn’t exactly do a great job of spelling out each burger’s ingredients.

The Big Dawg is a plant-based bratwurst stuffed in pretzel hot dog bun. A limited-time dish called the Hooker Fries comes topped with shredded vegan steak and a douse of Slutty Sauce. One order gets you a loud ring on the bell. Two orders gets you an energetic shout-out at the register. As for three…well, we didn’t stay long enough to find out.

V-Eats

Vegan, Vegetarian, Recommended, Best Of

Few Dallas restaurants mark their debut appearance on the culinary scene with national coverage on Fox News, but V-Eats Modern Vegan did just that, thanks to their all-vegan brisket. Not all Texans, it seems, are ready to chow down on vegan barbecue. Silly headlines aside, he food at V-Eats is mostly pretty good. The kitchen works with skill and creativity, and the best dishes are legitimately terrific. The flatbread pizza is a super-thin-crust creation with smoked artichokes and vegan sausage. The crust is crisp and the flavors are well-balanced; the vegan cheese is enjoyable. Crispy spring rolls, stuffed with avocado and cabbage, are fried to delicate, grease-free perfection, and the mango-cilantro salsa is a good accompaniment. There’s "salmon sushi" on the menu made with marinated tomato, which achieves the right color, a veiny texture and a happy juiciness. No surprise here, but V-Eats excels at salads. The house specialty is named, concisely, “‘THE’ Salad”, and it’s a foot-wide heap of premium greens mixed with all sorts of goodies: seeds, quinoa, enormous smoky artichoke hearts, roasted bell peppers, pickled onions and crunchy croutons that are made from (surprise) tofu.

Vegan Kebab Mediterranean Grill

2011 Spring Creek Pkwy. #2000 Plano

469-588-4669

Vegan, Middle Eastern

All of the menu items are crafted from 100% Gardein meat — a meat substitute made of soy, wheat and pea proteins — and flavored with the same spices and condiments as a typical kebab. Gardein is lauded for its unique ability to assume the stocky textures of meats ranging from more common ones like chicken to those more obscure, such as lamb.

Try their Chicken Rocket Sandwich, one of the most popular items, largely a result of how it mimics both the flavor and texture of a real chicken shawarma wrap. A warm pita is stuffed with shredded “chicken” that has an elastic texture when bitten into, much like real chicken meat. Tender potato slices add a starchy consistency to balance out the firmness of the “chicken” inside. All of it is smothered in spicy garlic butter.

The gyro sandwich, another popular menu item, consists of chunky Gardein meat, thinly sliced like a typical gyro. The meat is coated in savory spices then blended with tomatoes and pickled bell peppers to form a slightly tangy and aromatic gyro stuffing. A creamy tahini paste adds unexpectedly cool tones to finish off an otherwise spicy dish.

They even have a vegan baklava.

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products features a wide range of Texas-grown foods, but if imported French butter is your thing, Whole Foods has that too. Each department's staff is knowledgeable, chipper and willing to hold your hand when indecision strikes. For example, the cheesemongers will take all the time you need when putting together a cheese plate for a dinner party with your boss. Most departments also offer prepared items, so when you've spent an hour wandering the aisles in search of dinner's ingredients and come up empty, grab a dinner-for-two package.
