More people are trying to live a plant-based lifestyle than ever before. Thankfully, for individuals in Wheatland, WY who want to live this way, there are plenty of places to go for some nutrient-rich, tasty, and filling meals. These are some of the top restaurants in the area that serve vegan food.
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant is vegetarian-friendly, so you’ll find plenty of menu items that have no meat. However, since vegans also can’t have any cheese, you won’t find as many entrees here. Still, you can order the Espresso Vegetarian or Avocado Tostada to have a filling vegan meal. Just remember to request no cheese or sour cream. There are also some appetizer and dessert items that will work with this diet, such as sopapillas, churros, and a dessert chimichanga. You’ll need to ask for no ice cream with these dishes.
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant is north off Interstate 25 past the Laramie Peak Museum. The shop is open daily starting at 11 a.m.
Los Dominguez Family Mexican
Los Dominguez Family Mexican is another excellent option for vegans, but like Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, you’ll have to watch for cheese and sour cream on the vegetarian menu options. This is a local shop, and you’re welcome to ask that certain ingredients be held so you can comply with your diet.
Los Dominguez Family Mexican is at 1556 South St. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Windy Peaks Brewery & Steakhouse
Windy Peaks Brewery & Steakhouse is one of the newer options in town, and though it was built with carnivores in mind, you’ll find a couple of options on the menu that are appropriate for vegans. Just know that most appetizers and entrees have meat or cheese, so you might not see many other people here following this diet.
The restaurant has three salads that will work, though you’ll need to hold the shaved parmesan on the grilled Caesar. Spicy fried cauliflower is your best bet for an appetizer, though some will want to hold the side of ranch. Onion rings and fried pickles are also available. Unfortunately, all the desserts at this restaurant have cream as an ingredient. Windy Peaks makes up for it, though, with a full selection of beers and several wine options.
Windy Peaks Brewery & Steakhouse is at 715 9th St. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Fast Food Options
In addition to these mom-and-pop restaurants and sit-down chains, you’ll find a few fast food shops where you can modify your orders to make them vegan-friendly. Two of the most popular options are Subway and Taco Johns. The former is especially easy since you can build your own sandwich. For the latter, you’re welcome to ask for no cheese, meat, or sour cream on menu items to make them vegan-friendly.
Whether you have an ethical or dietary reason for going vegan, the Wheatland, WY restaurant community is suited to support your lifestyle. Check out these shops for your next satisfying meal in the area.
