With meat being such an integral part of Mexican cuisine, it is sometimes difficult for vegetarians to find viable options. Some places have very few vegetarian choices aside from a cheese quesadilla or a rice-and-bean burrito, but here we find the best Mexican restaurants in Berkeley with delicious, filling, meat-free meals for the vegetarians out there.

Tacubaya
Located on the bustling shopping 4th Street in Berkeley, Tacubaya offers delicious, authentic Mexican food for those who need a break from their busy errands. There are quite a few vegetarian options at this restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast options include tofu or cactus scrambles, and a sweet blueberry jam tamale. The lunch and dinner menu is most well-known for its vegetarian torta, which is a Mexican sandwich, or the crispy masa cake sope, which can be requested vegetarian with potatoes and vegetables. The outdoor seating in front is a great spot to enjoy the food, sunshine, and people watching.
