Vegan evidence

Prior assistant San Rafael tracker suggestions dated April 8, 2026. No visit confirmed. Current vegan service and exact identity require verification. Baseline 2026-09-11: San Rafael menu explicitly labels pipian sauce 100% vegan and recommends cactus/potato; habanero sauce also labeled vegan. Do not generalize to other mole sauces, rice, beans or buffet trays. Historical San Rafael handoff received 2026-09-18 (Pasted text(20260918-170924).txt; source libfile_d3f78868ae7081918e277bf4db4ccf2c). Original research/check dates and direct links were absent. Assistant assessments are not user visit or taste feedback. Handoff claim (historical, not independently established by this import): Historical specialist: chef/founder Lito Saldaña, family recipes, vegan pipian with cactus/potato, vegan habanero and vegan rice. Qualification queue: Follow specific vegan sauces, protein choice and sides, rather than extrapolating across buffet or all moles. 2026-09-18 handoff qualification: primary San Rafael menu reaffirms specific vegan sauces and now captures Vegan Rice separately. About page names founder/creator chef Lito Saldaña and family recipes; this supports chef-led provenance, not custom-order guarantees. Branch location page supplies exact address/hours.
