Thanx to these folks who responded: Prentiss Riddle Kuldip (K.R.) Pathak [email removed] and Kimberly Lewis, President of the San Antonio Vegetarian Society. There aren't a lot of truly vegetarian restaurants in San Antonio. There are almost no vegan ones. But there are many eateries where one can find a vegetarian option or negotiate with the Chef. Be warned that many Tex-Mex restaurants use a lot of beef lard.
