Mexican and Michoacan Tarascan Indian Food
La India is a small, inexpensive restaurant. They serve Mexican and Michoacan Tarascan Indian food, which is a little different than the Sonoran-style Mexican food usually served in Tucson.
They are very veg-friendly, and most vegetarian menu items can be made vegan by holding the cheese.

This is probably the easiest place to get vegan Mexican food in Tucson. Most waiters will know what you mean when you request vegan preparation, but to be on the safe side you might want to say "no cheese" instead of "vegan."
All vegetarian items are clearly marked, and most of them can be made vegan by omitting cheese. The cooking style seems to be Tarasco/O'odham fusion, so it straddles both sides of the border, creating unique dishes that you won't be able to find anywhere else.
My personal favorites are the spinach enchiladas and the potato taco. The latter includes some kind of sugar vinegar, which imparts such a fantastic flavor to the whole thing. It's a little greasy, though.
My only complaint: No vegan dessert! Not even a humble bunuelo. Oh well.

Very yummy! I like that there are a lot of vegetarian/vegan options. I got spinach enchiladas, no cheese, and they were awesome. Plus, the rice and beans were way tasty and nothing tasted greasy. Prices are reasonable too.
