Let’s start off on a sweet note: bakeries are popular in Mexico, and a few found locally offer not only the anticipated heavenly smell upon entering but a few vegan treats. Here are a few options for vegetarian and vegan dining in Tijuana, Mexico.

Panaderia Integral La Alegria in Zona Rio sells veggie sandwiches and burgers and some alternative meat products. Walking distance from there is La Flor de la Vida — where you’ll also find a bakery, a vegetarian restaurant with a hearty meal of the day, and a small natural foods store.
