Praise to San Antonio for the blessing of import Project Pollo, a 100% vegan enterprise that recently set up shop here. Vegans will appreciate the legit mac & cheese and freedom to choose from the entire menu, instead of just finding the items marked with green leaves and asking follow-up questions. The star is the "chicken," with its spicy, crunchy batter, which in nugget form is addictive when paired with any one of their mysteriously rich vegan sauces. The fried pickles stand out as well due to that killer batter and sauce. The only follow-up question here is, "How can this be vegan?!"
