Willy’s Mexicana Grill, an Atlanta favorite, makes it incredibly easy to eat vegan. You could veganize one of their favorites but we think it’s going to be a lot easier to create your own so that’s how we have it listed below.

Lucky for us vegans, Willy’s does not use lard to cook their beans and rice, they offer tofu and of course, you have all of the veggies for toppings.

Make a Burrito, a Bowl, a Salad, Tacos or Nachos… what are you in the mood for?

Let’s see all of Willy’s Mexicana Grill’s Vegan Options.
