Event Description
Event hosted by Eugene Veggies.

Chapalas is a popular Mexican restaurant in the Oakway shopping center. One of our members recently asked for an event at Chapalas and last month's Oakway event was so well attended, it seemed like a good idea to have another event there.

WHAT DO THEY OFFER US?
If you look at Chapala's menu, https://chapalamex.com/menu/, you will see very little off the bat that looks suitable for a Eugene Veggies event. However, the menu has a special section for vegetarian foods, which I particularly appreciate. And while many of the items in the vegetarian section come with sour cream and/or cheese, you can order the dishes without the dairy.

If so few options were designed specifically for vegans, why are we going to Chapalas? 1) Their food is good. 2) Hosting a bunch of vegans might inspire the restaurant to offer more vegan options in the future. 3) I like to show our members that if you find yourself in a place like this when eating out with friends or family or when traveling, you can still get a delicious meal, even without the cheese. Have you tried it? Can the dishes really be satisfying without the dairy? I dare you to give it a try and see for yourself. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

ATTENDANCE LIMIT
There is a limit of 22 people for this event. The restaurant will be setting up for us special based on our RSVP count. Please be responsible with your RSVPing! Update as needed and if you have a 'yes' RSVP the day before, please plan on attending this event.
