Vegan tacos are ?????

Some of the best food I've had in a while, the best meal I had while visiting Santa Barbara this past weekend. Absolutely delicious tacos with so much variety in the meats. Extensive vegan meats that were actually very tasty. Some of the best birria and al pastor I've ever had. Super filling and everything tastes fresh and high quality. The salsas were also some of the best I've ever had. Highly, highly recommend.

There are tons of Mexican restaurants in SB, but this one has lots of great vegan options and is always amazing. Their salsas are delicious and they have a clean friendly atmosphere. My new favorite Mexican spot.

This is the most delicious Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. This is the kind of food you find in a fancy Mexican place, but it’s great value. I love that they have impossible meat substitutes as well.

Amazing birria tacos! Amazing aquafresca! Amazing burritos that arn't super wet and you can take on the plane to flex and you end up making the cabin smell like al pastor! And they are amazing at wedding catering too!

Cozy spot for delicious Mexican street food. Friendly staff, elevated taco menu, reasonable prices, decent portion sizes. The lengua (beef tongue) was so tender and well seasoned it made for an amazing taco as did the saucy birria. Another standout taco was the sirloin and potato. The seasoning on the beef and the potatoes took that simple taco to a whole new level.Vegetarian options: They offer 3 varieties of Beyond Meat tacos.
