La Zanahoria

La Zanahoria is a long-running vegetarian restaurant in Puebla's Centro Histórico that reworks Poblano classics without meat, including a meatless mole poblano, vegetarian chalupas, and a daily comida corrida vegetariana (fixed vegetarian lunch). The kitchen substitutes plant-based proteins and vegetables into dishes traditionally built around meat, aiming to make the region's signature cuisine accessible to vegetarian diners without losing the flavor profile of the originals. The dining room is simple and casual, with a health-food-store character reflecting its long tenure as one of the few dedicated vegetarian options in the historic center; the atmosphere is quiet and functional rather than atmospheric. Beverages are limited to aguas frescas, juices, and soft drinks rather than an alcohol program. As a casual, daily-service restaurant, it operates on a walk-in basis without reservations, and is busiest during the midday comida corrida period.
