There is great vegan food in the crazy college town of Athens Ohio. Casa Nueva is tucked quaintly in the downtown area but not difficult to access. The interior decor is standard college town bar/restaurant fare but don't let that deter you from eating here. Courtney was our server and a better server you will not find. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. We started with Blood Mary's from the bar. The glasses were small but the taste was spot on. For the appetizer we had the tofu fries. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside with a tasty soy mayo dip to compliment them. For lunch we had the Vegan burrito and a tortilla dish called the Hills Deluxe. Overly abundant portions and amazing flavors from both. We couldn't finish the burrito so decided to take the remainder of it, and our dessert a vegan brownie, to go. Suffice to say the brownie didn't last long while we were driving. The menu says they try to source most of their items locally and it shows with the freshness of the dishes.
It is refreshing to find such a fantastic, vegan friendly restaurant around Ohio University. If you are ever traveling to or through the area it would benefit you to stop here and have a bite to eat. You will NOT be disappointed!

PS.....their prices are insanely low for such high quality food and drink!
