We can’t think about holidays without also thinking about all the incredible holiday food. While we all know that San Antonio is objectively one of the best foodie cities in the US, the holidays can sometimes lead to a bit of FOMO for those with vegan + vegetarian diets.
Don’t fret — we’ve got you covered with some delicious plant-based food options around the Alamo City.
