| - Before I get started on my first dining experience at The Coronado, I will be completely transparent with you - I am not a Vegetarian, nor am I a Vegan. So what am I doing at this type of joint?
Well, short story long - my wife recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a few months ago. Yaaaaaaay...us. Well, basically our not-so-little baby would bust out with crazy rashes all over her chubby face and equally chubby body after Dairy Queen feedings (aka Mommy's breastfeeding sessions). Well, it turns out that our daughter is allergic to dairy, so for the first time ever, my wifey needs to avoid anything with dairy in it for the sake of our baby daughter. So we immediately drove to LGO Pizzeria and ordered a cheese pizza.
Siiiiiiike.
When I heard "dairy-free" I initially thought my wife would have to just Bugs Bunny it all the way with carrots for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Well, thank God for The Coronado! So many dairy-free/vegan options! And they actually don't taste like sandpaper. (Come to think of it, I've never actually tried sandpaper.)
Numero Uno Tip Time, folks...
When you first arrive here, don't sit outside on the nice patio like complete noobsicles, waiting for the servers to take your order...like we did the first time around. You'll be drenched by the misters before anyone comes by your table to write down your order. Instead, get straight outta Noob City and order inside, at the counter, like the rest of The Coronado pros. Afterwards, you can proceed to the patio with your dignity intact.
At the counter I asked the friendly lady what she recommended, and she said "The jackfruit sliders are good." Then I implied no pressure and asked, "If you could only choose 1 item on the menu what would it be?" And she quickly and confidently mentioned, "The cauliflower tacos - hands down." At that very moment, the thought of eating cauliflower tacos sounded as joyous as sucking on tree sap for sustenance.
However, when I took that first bite of the misunderstood cauliflower taco, I was happier than a Brony attending his first My Little Pony club meeting. Waaaaaay better than tree sap. For realz. I would order that sucker again. And again. The cauliflower was delightfully covered In crispy (not overtly thick) batter and topped with creamy sauce goodness. The jackfruit burger was also mighty tasty, so I'm happy my wife and I shared the two dishes. If not, I would've jacked her jackfruit burger. Yeah, I went there. (Ahhh...the marriage benefits we take for granted.) We also shared the horchata latte, as well as the delicious, dairy-free Nutella-style pop tart.
As a non-vegan, married to a wife on a brand new non-dairy diet, we cannot wait to go back to this terrific joint to try new vegan dishes and once again - get our cauliflower on. Like tomorrow.
