Sylmar, California-based Vallarta Supermarkets’ menu has launched new meatless meals during Lent for those forgoing meat during the observance. Customers following a Lenten diet can enjoy tasty meatless alternatives to the familiar authentic foods they love. The Lent menu will be available until April 17.
“Our Lent menu offers traditional favorites with meatless alternatives full of flavor,” said Andrew Lewis, VP of marketing for Vallarta Supermarkets. “Any customer forgoing meat doesn’t mean fewer options – at Vallarta we have you covered.”
New to this year’s menu is a bowl of traditional lentil soup, also serving other dishes including Baja-style battered fish tacos, authentic ceviches made in-store and seasonal bread pudding – capirotada.
The following Lent menu items will be available across all stores at various in-store departments: La Cocina, Pescadería, Cevichería, Cremería and the Grab & Go.
- La Cocina (Vallarta’s restaurant): La Cocina a la carte menu offers familiar favorites that include: Baja-style battered fish tacos, chile rellenos, tortas de camarón (shrimp patties) and fried Mojarra. The Lent favorite, milk capirotada (bread pudding), will be available to order on weekends from La Cocina. The stores will also offer tostado bolillo for customers looking to bake their own capirotada at home.
