Mr.Natural

"A family-owned vegetarian spot focusing on holistic nutrition, Mr. Natural offers a crunchy, meatless bacon alternative. Their meatless bacon, made from soy and wheat protein, provides ideal crispiness with warm notes of salt and smoke." - Aaron Boehmer

"The East Austin vegetarian/vegan Mexican restaurant makes use of honey to sweeten its aguas frescas. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Mr. Natural is one of those “Old Austin” relics that’s been positioned on East Cesar Chavez since the late ‘80s and has amassed a devoted following for plant-based tacos, tamales, flautas, and even menudo. It’s primarily a vegetarian restaurant—with cheese and egg making occasional appearances—but just about every vegetarian item can be made vegan. The restaurant also manages to fit a bakery, juice bar, and a small holistic market into the space, meaning you can grab a smoothie and some empanadas on the way out.  " - nicolai mccrary

"The East Austin vegetarian Mexican restaurant is very gluten-free friendly, with pastries, enchiladas, flautas, and more. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell

"For affordable, fast, and healthy food, head to this East Austin Tex-Mex and Mexican spot for solid vegetable-topped soy burgers, breakfast burritos, and delicious smoothies. And, hey, it’s Ethan Hawke-approved. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
