Serves meat, vegan options available. A casual restaurant where you order and pay at the counter, and food is brought to the table. Has a vegetarian section (please advise HappyCow if there are vegan options!- thanks) on the menu with 8 marked dishes, including lacto vegetarian burrito, quesadilla, and quesadilla de hongos (with fresh grilled vegetables). Good size portion.

Favorite Restaurant in Town - Edit
This is my favorite restaurant in Gainesville! They have a separate vegetarian menu with loads of options that can easily be made vegan. My favorite is their veggie burrito with refried beans, mexican rice, and grilled vegetables.
Pros: Tons of great options, Delicious food, Cheap

excellent choice - Edit
We were looking for a place for our family of 3 vegans to go with our family living in Gainesville who are carnivores. They always pick the place, and there are rarely many vegan options, so Happy Cow to the rescue. This place has a whole vegetarian menu section which is easily made vegan by dropping the cheese and sour cream (except for the egg entrees). We chose the vegetarian #1, #2, and #10, plus chips and salsa, and there were plenty of choices for the carnivore part of the family. All of the food was delicious, and we all agreed it was some of the best Mexican we've had at a restaurant. Very large servings. We will definitely go back.
Pros: Loads of vegan options (if you ask for no sour cre, Inexpensive especially for the quality and the qua, Great choice for a mixed party of vegans, veg head
Cons: Very crowded (for obvious reasons + We went at lun

Go! - Edit
This is a small business, and it's great! The owners will remember you, even if you don't go in that often. As a vegan I usually just get the bean burrito without cheese or sour cream. But I could live off their chips and guacamole!!
Pros: Fresh hot chips, Tasty food
Cons: Limited veg options

Delicious beans and rice - Edit
A full vegetarian menu with vegan options. Frankly, I love to just get the cheap burrito salad (beans, rice, lettuce, tomato and avocado!). They offer prepackaged sour cream on the side but I just tell them I don't want it and they put it back in the fridge. They have two complimentary hot sauces which are great supplements to the burrito, both very spicy. If you order a side of beans make sure to say no cheese!
Pros: cheap, great beans and rice
Cons: too much styrofoam, limited english
