Newly-opened Charro Vida features a wide variety of both vegan and non-vegan dishes.

We’ve eaten about a quarter of their whole menu so far, but we’ve already found a stellar vegan entree.

While enchiladas often have a generous amount of cheese and sour cream, Charro Vida has elevated the comfort food classic.

The Bandera Enchiladas at Charro Vida feature a trio of enchiladas in three mole sauces: calabacitas & beets en tomatillo; papas y poblano en chile rojo; chorizo planta en crema. The fluffy quinoa grain salad, beans, and veggies are a welcome departure from heavier conventional sides.

Although the dish doesn’t have the same gooey cheese of conventional Tex-Mex enchiladas, it still hits you right in the soul with satisfaction.
