Best vegan burritos and tacos I’ve had by far. The staff is great as well. I recommend the Cali burrito and the chile rellenos (when they have it). I hope to see this place stick around for years to come.Vegetarian options: Menu is entirely vegan.Kid-friendliness: Casual dining setting with a decently sized outdoor patio easily accommodates kids.

Great food. You can even tell the difference between it and real meat. The servers are great.

AboutAngelaG Remarkable Review

Went to check this place out with my family for an early supper. It was fairly easy to find. It sits on the end of a strip center with a few other places in the lot. Upon entering there a foul odor. Not sure what it was be we decided to try the place anyways.The woman that assisted me was nice. I was super bummed because they were out of quite a bit of items. Things like flour tortillas, potatoes, fish taco filling and more. We really wanted to try their burritos and carne asada fries but we settled for the taco plate and nachos with a cookie for dessert. The inside only had high top tables that seat just two people so we had to sit outside. It was cold and sprinkling this evening and their outdoor heaters were out of order but we dined outdoors anyway. It wasn’t too bad. There was still a foul odor out in their patio area as well.Let me tell you, the guacamole, meat substitutes that they had and cheese all tasted delicious. The nachos had chips on the edge/outside of the plate with all of the filing in the middle. We didn’t know that so our chips here pretty much gone before we got to the middle of the dish. The beans and rice were good. All the food was seasoned nicely. Nothing had a kick to it though.I spent about $35 for the nachos, the taco plate and the cookie. I wasn’t able to get my itemized receipt printed for what ever reason, so I could only attach their print out. They did have items/merch that could be purchased in the inside and I seen what appeared to be regulars entering and ordering after me.Dietary restrictions: They are vegan and have Gluten-free optionsParking: Open lot for the stores in that center

It was great. Try the "carne" asada and fish tacos. The carnitas wasn't my favorite but I will be visiting again!

The Corn quesadilla was very good. The salsa could use a little more heat. Overall, yummy!

My experience was that it's overpriced, food quality is poor, beyond substandard, I couldn't tell what type of beef it was in the so called Carne Asada. Try it for yourself and make your own opinion... I would recommend Avila's El Ranchito for a pleasurable experience for the $$ amount and quantity!!?

This my other favorite place for vegan Mexican food! I've been here twice so far and both visits the food was absolutely delish!! The rice and beans are so flavorful that you wouldn't think it's vegan. I've tried the carnitas taco, el pastor taco, crunch wrap, loaded fries. my husband had s potato taco and tge fries with Carne asada and he loved it. he's not a vegetarian bit will try places for me, he said he would eat here again. they have the best potato tacos here!! the service has also been pretty good both visits. it's a cute small place that I would recommend to anyone.

100% blown away by these vegan tacos!! Came on Taco Tuesday (2 tacos for $7.00) and we had the Al Pastor, Carnitas, Fish (battered portobello mushroom) and Crispy Potato. So much flavor! Also ordered chips and guacamole to snack on. We will def be back for Taco Tuesday and to also try other items on their menu. This casual taqueria has a pretty decent sized outdoor patio with shaded seating. There are just a few seats inside the taqueria. Parking is easy. Quick & friendly service.

So happy this place exists!!! Got 10 tacos, they were all delicious and 2 free horchatas, best horchata I ever had!!! service was so quick and the vibe was great, perfect place for lunch.

Went with my family for lunch (party of 7), the owner refused to replace the tacos meant for my daughter unless we paid for them. My child does not eat spicy and despite of telling the server immediately upon receipt, she didn’t take them back and then later another server said they needed them. The owner did not come out and refused to replace my child’s tacos. Why say you’re going to remake them and at the end be rude and say unless we pay for them they won’t remake them! We drove 25 min to the location!! On top of that the following was bland: enchiladas, torta cauliflower and quesadilla! Never again!!!

Zero stars!!! I do not recommend this location, my main concern is the poor customer service and accountability from the staff. The owner was onsite and could not even face us and instead sent his workers. We ordered a carnitas taco plate for my 6 year old daughter, the menu does not state that salsa is placed on the tacos and upon ordering we were not asked if we were okay with the salsa on the tacos. We received the plate and immediately told the server that our daughter does not eat spicy and we were not aware that salsa came on it. We told her she could take the tacos back and she said it was fine, we could keep them and that it was going to take 15-20min to bring them out, 10minutes later another staff member came back and asked for the tacos, as we waited for the food to come out we had one since they had already said we could keep them, I told the staff member she could take the one since the other one had already told us we could keep it. A third staff member came back after 10min and said that the owner said “he is not going to give you the tacos unless you pay for them”. Not only did my daughter stay without her tacos but the enchilada plate was completely bland, the quesadilla and the cauliflower torta were also bland. More than anything, the service was horrible! We were going to order 2 dozen of vegan tamales at $70 each but they lost that transaction! I guess business must be bad if they lost a recurring customer over 2 tacos that were going to feed a child.
