Tocaya Modern Mexican 

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be dull—especially with a trip to Tocaya Modern Mexican, a health-conscious cantina in La Jolla. An assortment of salads, tacos, burritos, bowls and quesadillas can be found on the menu, each offering accommodations for those who are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Each plate is inspired by traditional Mexican fare, with a healthy and fresh approach to its preparation. For those looking for a veggie-forward vegan option, we recommend the Tierra vegan tacos, made with guacamole, avocado-onion salsa, sweet chipotle sauce, vegan chipotle crema, house-made blue corn tortilla and a gluten-free battered and fried maitake mushroom; the Keto Bowl, with house-made Spanish riced cauliflower, tri-color peppers, jalapeño cabbage, avocado, black olives and an arbol salsa; or the Tocaya Salad, crafted with shredded organic romaine, black beans, diced Roma tomatoes, red onion, sliced jalapeños, tortilla strips, chopped cilantro, avocado and a spicy cilantro-lime dressing. For the protein-forward plates, opt for the Asada tacos with guacamole, cilantro, onions, roasted tomato salsa, house-made blue corn tortilla, carne asada and queso cotija or the Guiltless Burrito with house-made Spanish riced cauliflower, black beans, tri-color peppers, jalapeño cabbage and a chipotle crema.
