    Hey guys. I live in Merida ( from LA) and am vegan. I find it pretty easy. I’ve been here for 6 years but vegan for about 2 1/2 years. I cook my own foods but there are other options. Ya’axtal is a great store to shop at. Glad you found Monique’s. It’s delicious. There is also Avocado restaurant. Fitorade is great too!! In normal times there are a few vegan fairs a year. They are fantastic. Stay vegan. You can do it!! Love your videos!!

I think that once you get to know all of the amazing vegetables and fruits available in Mexico, your repertoire of recipes will grow exponentially.

    With all the fruits and vegetables, Fresh and ripe, available throughout México IT IS very easy to be vegan IF YOU COOK AND PREPARE YOUR MEALS. However, if you want to go out, you'll have limited offerings so far unless you learn Spanish so you can ask restaurants to make substitutions on their menu for you.

    I hope so. We hope to retire there in 3 years.
    I always see street food like grilled corn on the cob, fresh chopped fruits, guacamole, etc.
    Sounds like you may be on a plant based diet and not Vegan ? Veganism is a lifestyle and all about the animals and their torture and murder and living a lifestyle where we refuse to fund that unnecessarily 3 times a day. It is not about health or taking a break. Earthling Ed, Joey Carbstrong, James Aspey....some great Vegan youtubers if you want to learn more.
    I went Vegan at 55, four years almost. Only wish I had done it sooner. I love animals and you can’t love animals...if you eat them.
