Lora Loka - La Huerta

This waterfront restaurant features an open-air dining area with a half-covered terrace, perfect for enjoying a meal while watching the sunset. Host and co-owner Lora is happy to accommodate vegan requests and can create dishes using ingredients from their kitchen. The Sopa Azteca (Aztec Soup) can be made vegan upon request and is a delicious and hearty option. If you're in need of vegan cheese, it can be found at a large supermarket chain or at health food stores in the area. Lora can prepare vegetarian dishes, such as enchiladas and flaute, with vegan cheese instead of dairy cheese. The sauces are made with fresh, local ingredients. Both co-owners are fluent in English. The margaritas are strong and delicious. It's recommended to arrive early in the day and inform Lora of your vegan preferences ahead of time to allow her to create something special. She is a creative chef who enjoys the opportunity to make unique dishes for her guests.

This restaurant located by the sea, with a half-covered terrace and half-open to the stunning blue sky, is a wonderful place to dine, especially during the sunset hour. The host and co-owner, Lora, is very willing to get creative with whatever ingredients are available in the kitchen to make something vegan. The Aztec soup can be made vegan upon request and is a hearty dish worth the trip on its own. A smart move when coming from Puerto Vallarta in the north or Manzanillo in the south is to pick up vegan cheese at the supermarket chain LaComer or at some of the small health food shops recommended on HappyCow. Lora can then prepare vegetarian enchiladas and/or frogs with vegan cheese instead of dairy cheese. Their sauces are delicious, made with local, natural ingredients. Both owners speak English. The margarita is good and quite strong. It's best to go earlier in the day, as Lora tends to come later and may need some time to plan something special for vegan guests. Being a creative cook, she enjoys the opportunity to create unique dishes. (Updated by a previous review on 2022-02-18)
