Vegan and Vegetarian Mexican Food Options
Mexican food is not just about meat! Discover our delicious plant based and vegetarian menu items.
There is a tired idea that Mexican food is only about meat. It is not. Some of the best things on our menu are built on beans, rice, vegetables and fresh salsa, and at La Sierra in Forest Grove we have real options for guests who skip meat. Here is where to start if you are eating vegetarian or vegan with us.
The Vegetariano Burrito
This is the headline. Beans and rice inside, topped with burrito sauce and cheese, and served with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes. For a fully vegan version, ask your server to hold the cheese and sour cream and to check the burrito sauce, and you get a hearty, satisfying burrito that is mostly plants. It is one of the most ordered items for vegetarian regulars. See it on our menu.
Veggie Fajitas
The Veggie Fajitas are a feast on a hot plate. Grilled onion, bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms, carrots and celery, served sizzling with warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, cheese and pico de gallo. Vegans can ask to hold the cheese and sour cream and double down on the guacamole. The char on the vegetables gives it real depth, so it never feels like a compromise plate.
Built on Beans, Rice and Salsa
A lot of Mexican cooking is naturally plant friendly. Our beans and rice are the backbone of the menu, and our fresh salsas, guacamole and pico de gallo are made daily. The Bean and Cheese Burrito is a simple classic, and a Taco Salad or Tostada can be built vegetarian by choosing beans as the protein. Ask your server and we will help you build a plate that works for you.
Ask Us, We Are Happy to Help
The best thing you can do is tell us how you eat. Our team knows the menu inside and out and can point you to what is vegetarian and what can be made vegan. We can often hold dairy or swap ingredients. We want everyone at the table to eat well, not just to have something they can technically order.

Whether you are vegetarian, vegan, or just eating lighter for the night, there is a full plate waiting for you at La Sierra. Order online for pickup, dine in, or let us build a vegetarian spread for your next event through catering. Good Mexican food is about flavor first, and these dishes prove you do not need meat to get it.
