Serves meat, vegan options available. Central American street food restaurant in Reading Terminal Market. There is a vegan alternative for most of the items, including a vegan jalapeno black bean pupusa (ask to omit cheese); vegan chipotle jackfruit taquitos and a vegetarian option that can be modified. You can purchase tomatillo jackfruit by the pound. Chips and spreads are all vegan. All drinks are vegan-friendly, including the almond milk horchata. The coffee drinks can be made with almond or oat milk. The only area of the menu that is not veg-friendly are the churros. Open Mon-Sat 8:00am-6:00pm, Sun 9:00am-4:00pm.

Super good! - Edit
We had the jackfruit taquitos and the black bean pupusa. Both delicious. They have an almond milk horchata but the person working the counter didn’t know for sure if it was vegan. It seems like it would be, so if anyone knows that would be helpful! Anyway a great vegan friendly spot at reading terminal market.

Very yummy butternut squash taquitos at the market! Large serving size and just the right amount of spiciness.

Vegan Pupusas! - Edit
The vegan jalapeño pupusas were so delicious (but definitely spicy.) Service was great and loved the pickled onions on top!

Great Vegan Pupusas! - Edit
I haven’t been able to have pupusas since I’ve become a vegan. I was so excited to come across El Merkury in the Reading Terminal Market. The vegan jalapeño black bean pupusas were wonderful, and I can’t wait to try their chipotle jackfruit taquitos. I wish there was room to eat there because I would have loved to eat them on the spot. I hope in the future they’ll consider making vegan churros because they look amazing.
