Beverly Location Not on Happy Cow! - Edit
I swear I heard about La Qchara here on Happy Cow but now can’t find the Beverly location!
Read moreCute corner spot with a handful of tables. Dozens of vegetarian friendly menu items that can easily be veganized. Got the vegetarian burrito with no cheese. Confirmed there was no dairy in the rest of the burrito. It came with a side of an avocado crema, could not track down the waitress to confirm if it was vegan so ended up swapping with someone at my table who had a side of guac. Wish there was more info or better labeled menu items!
Cons: Not labeled

Great corner find - Edit
Many clearly marked vegetarian and gluten free options - many of which can be made vegan. In addition to meals, they have many vegan smoothies and milk alternatives for their extensive beverage menu. Helpful staff and delicious food all around.

Favorite spot - Edit
La Q has some great food! I love their mango tango salad especially. They could use more vegan protein options but their chia pudding is the best. I wish I could give 5 stars. Whoever rated this place 1 star needs to rethink... Amazing service, everyone is super nice and if you go there often they will remember you. The people who own the place are absolutely wonderful. Do yourself a favor and check this place out

get the yucca fries! - Edit
This place has a cute, intimate atmosphere and an extensive menu. Vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are clearly marked. I ordered the portobello tacos vegan, and the side of black beans looked like it had cheese on it so I didn’t try them. The tacos were really good! I will definitely go back.
