Verde - Lihue

We went to eat. the menu has a fair amount of vegetarian options and a few vegan options on the menu. the personal was very friendly and accommodating and we could essentially build everything we wanted with their ingredients. I had the sweet layer enchilada, which was ingenious, my wife had the vegan tacos, the taro and mung beans based crumbs. also really good. the children got wet burritos that they enjoyed, but wished there were more buzzing. we tried the nachos with the kind of kiss that were just okay. it needed some salsa or hot sauce. the grilled cheese chasequesadilla was just a queen. the guacamole was very good here. overall very good and we will go back here.

Employee was very helpful and accommodating. Got the verde verde burrito vegan style and added vegan crumbles, soooooo delicious. Horchata was also vegan rice milk and super tasty. but that is what it is.

As others have mentioned, only one item on the menu at Verde is intentionally Vegan. Fortunately, the beans rice themselves are also Vegan, but are not automatically included in the vegetarian dishes. Staff maybe owners chefs need education about how to include beans or other high protein plant based options when a vegetarian entree is solely vegetables. Also fortunately, our waitress was willing to add beans to the Verde Verde Burrito in exchange for my removing potatoes cheese. My husband really enjoyed the Vegan tacos made from taro root mung beans. It’s a great choice.

Was thrilled to see vegan tacos on the main menu but when we arrived they also had taro, mung bean and moringa crumble vegan tacos on the Specials menu that were incredible!!! The beans and rice were delicious too, just make sure to ask for the beans without cheese. Took my whole non vegan family and they loved their food too.

They have 2 vegan tacos, the vegan crumble ones are delicious! You can also order guacamole, beans and rice. Apart from that, no other vegan options available. A good Mexican restaurant in a strip mall in Lihue. Knowledgeable wait stuff on the vegan options.
