Chino Latino is a great place to go with a lot of different people. The servers are more than happy to discuss what is and what is not vegan or vegetarian on the menu and they always go ask the chef if they are uncertain.
I love this place because of the style of eating: lots of little dishes throughout the night. There are big meals to share as well, but I love sampling lots of different appetizers and sharing with friends and family.
The menu also changes regularly, but my experience has been that they tend to add more meat-centric dishes than new veggie or vegan items.
The crazy cocktails also make this restaurant an experience to be had. Often at $10 or more but with more than enough booze that one may be enough.
However, Chino Latino is best done when someone else is paying -- it doesn't take long to rack up a couple hundred dollars.
