Okay, so I'm wondering how possible it is to be a bona fide vegan in Mexico. I plan not to live in the "expat bubble," but to get my groceries in local markets, eat in local restaurants/cafes. I am completely aware that I'll need to be flexible on this; I figure it should be pretty easy if I flex down to vegetarian (eat cheese/milk products) when necessary. But I'm hoping that in some areas I might get lucky--like finding Fruta Madre in Playacar.
Does anyone have experience trying to stay vegan while living in Mexico? Is it pretty easy (or perhaps even amazing--given the variety of fruits and spices) if you mostly cook for yourself?
Just to clarify: Vegan means I eat only every kind of veggie and fruit imaginable, legumes, nuts/seeds and anything that can be made from those. I don't eat meat, chicken, fish, milk, cheese, eggs.
Thanks!
