i have to be honest. when i heard the idea for vegan-virgin i was excited. not so much that i thought it was going to be the best ever, but excited by the options it would provide.

but after reading it’s the Cafe Gratitude folks…….no thank you!! i can’t stand them. they give gringos a bad name.

Meave: I think your response to Kiya was obnoxious. Maybe Kiya was wrong, but Kiya was certainly adding much more to the conversation than you.

Ahhh, you poor little vegan, have the mean, mean people on Mission Mission hurt your feelings? Please, if you are going to be obnoxious (and you certainly have been) expect that it will be returned in kind.

Positive comments only? No. Comments that are not equal parts belligerence and ignorance? Preferably, yes.

Ok, so positive comments only, got it.
Last i checked this was an open comments section to a blog about the Mission, not the Mission Merchant’s Association forum.

Overly pro-meat-eaters-to-hide-their-deep-ridden-guilt = worst people.

Like, why was the first comment even posted? Because of this exact reason, its so corny, just get it how you live. Oh great YOU arent interested in this place, here’s an idea: shut the fuck up.

Kiya’s original quote would be like if a gay bar opened in the castro that was for bears and they wrote “EW BEARS!” instead what they should have written: nothing at all. worthless opinions ahoy in this thread.

everyone else: this spot looks the goods, cant wait to dig in!

i never dreamed seitan burritos would be such a controversial topic.

racism notwithstanding, of course.

You think the first half of your comment puts you in a position to call someone else childish in the second half?

And Alan, I actually think the veggie burritos are not that great at Cancun. That may be because of a lack of stock in the rice, who knows. But the whole beans don’t have lard (refried do).

Kiya, how do you know there’s lard in the tortillas? Have you asked? At least in the US, most tortillas available on the market (particularly those available in the mass quantities a taqueria needs) are made without lard. The only tortillas I’ve ever seen with lard in this city (and I do check) are hand-made by a grandma. So unless you’re able to put up, I suggest you shut up.

Lots of latin people don’t use lard in their cooking anymore for health reasons. My Dominican family who cooks everything from scratch never uses lard or stock in anything. It still tastes amazing. It is very easily made vegan and anyone who thinks that Latin American food = nothing but non stop meat in everything is wrong.

I’m just excited that people are optimistic enough to consider opening up a business now in such a dreary economic climate. Also looking forward to Mexican vegan desserts done Gratitude style.

Uhm, how are you eating a vegan burrito at a place where there’s lard in the fucking tortillas?!
