Veggie Heaven
1914-A Guadalupe, 457-1013Monday-Friday, 11am-9pm; Saturday-Sunday, noon-9pm
Veggie Heaven is a gift from the gods, providing Taiwanese-style vegetarian and vegan food at moderate prices. The visually stunning menu features color pictures of each of the more than 40 dishes. The food is excellent, the service hip and happening, and the aura comforting. Tangerine Mushrooms are a generous serving of flash-fried and crusted mushrooms paired with broccoli crowns tossed with a spicy tangerine sauce. Cathay Fajitas are a take on the classic Chinese moo-shi pancakes, stuffed with delicately fried tofu strips, cabbage, sprouts, onions and garlic, carrots, and zucchini.
