Read morei hope that same grumpy guy is still behind the counter like he has been every time i've eaten there. wouldn't be the same without his complete lack of enthusiasm. luckily the food doesn't need a sales pitch!
Pros: consistently tasty food, no small talk from counter guy

Two must haves - Edit
Ask for a half jackfruit half black bean burrito and you won't be disappointed. The next time you go, try to land a Mac N Cheese burrito. Amazing.

A solid place - Edit
Popped in to have a quick bite after browsing through Kensington Market. I ordered two tacos, one lentils one jackfruit, with a side of rice and black beans (included in price). Both had great flavors and were delicious (the habanero hot sauce is a must!), but I liked the lentils slightly better. Portion was generous and service was fast. The only thing I would pick on my food would be the untoasted tortillas; toasting them changes the whole game!
Read moreReally, everything was right except for one: the guy behind the counter (owner, staff, or?) was a little cold and didn't seem to want to be there at all... But that's alright because you won't have to interact with him too much other than placing your order. I hope he knows that the food he serves is great and is loved by so many so he'll cheer up a bit :)
Pros: great food, fast service
Cons: cold staff

Good Eatin - Edit
Really ingenious. Nothing like this in the city. Jackfruit tacos are to die for. They changed the setien so it goes down much easier now :) Everything I've eaten I've liked or loved. The donuts are the best vegan donuts I've had from anywhere. (They are up to par with Mighty - O!) They don't have the donuts anymore but go next door to Sadie's and they have some :)
Read moreMy only wish is that they offered some veggies or something. I always feel like I'm eating somewhat unhealthy meals there...

hot burrito - Edit
Not the absolute best burrito in the city but VERY tasty, very unique and very vegan. The tvp burrito is my fav but you have to be in the mood for about 2 pounds of tvp and sauce. If you ARE in the mood, then get on it!
Read morePros: tasty, unique, good atmosphere
Cons: portion a little too big, slightly prickly staff

Delicious burritos - Edit
I wish I had come here earlier, it is really good. They have a secret menu which mixes up some of the offerings, but it basically sounds like you can mix up any of the fillings to make a custom made burrito/taco/bowl. I really liked the ancho TVP (so similar to pork, omg) and peanut miso sauce in a burrito bowl. I heard the jackfruit was really good, but have yet to try it myself. I don't think they still have the donuts. Maybe they are seasonal?
Read moreI think this would be even better if there were more vegetables!
Pros: flavourful, healthy (mostly), fast
Cons: more veg, please, cash only, only open until 8:30pm

Put Some Vegan Nachos in my Face! - Edit
Everything at Hot Beans is delicious. I appreciate that everything is made with love and care....it makes such a difference.
Read moreI return for the nachos ($9), which are loaded with cheesy, beany, guac-y goodness. They are hot, filling, and filled with flavour explosions. You will not be disappointed!
Pros: Flavourful, vegan Mexican fast food, Fast service, Good value
Cons: Very small place, best for take-away

Great Mexican food - Edit
The food here is carefully prepared and very tasty. I had a taco that was full to bursting and some tasty chips. My husband enjoyed his food as well, although he felt it was expensive for what was essentially a sandwich, albeit with interesting ingredients. There is a small space in which you can sit and eat, but the food is really made for take-out.
Read morePros: Delicious, Good-sized portions
Cons: Pricey, Not much space to sit

Best tacos and burritos - Edit
A friend of mine works here and I was visiting Toronto. Popped my head in and had a jackfruit taco and a bean burrito and they were great. Hit the spot, much better than the non-burrito place around the corner. And I'm not being bias, they are good. Ask for brad!

Yummy - Edit
I found the Server to be very helpful, explained what each item on the meun was. Really awesome stuff, well cooked, nice and spicey, lovely texture and its all vegan. I love all-vegan places. No guesswork, which I really appreciate. Awesome neighbourhood too, right in Kensington market. Doesn't get any better. I'll have to try the donuts next time, I didn't notice them until I read one of the reviews for this place. I give it 5 Cows out of 5
Read morePros: friendly help, great neighbourhood, great tasting

Love this place!!! - Edit
This is an EXCELLENT place to eat!!! Everything is vegan and everyone I take there has a great meal!! The nachos in particular are delicious. They give large portions (so make sure to be hungry!) and the prices are not too bad. You can either sit there and eat, or leave (it's take out). The staff is very friendly and it doesn't take long for them to make the food. I have been there about half a dozen times now, and I go everytime I am in kensington market.
Read moreVery very delicious, so try it!!
Pros: great food, vegan, friendly staff

Delicious and quick - Edit
I love Hot Beans. The coleslaw is the best I've ever had. The tacos were pretty good, but it was the bean burrito that knocked my socks off. Delicious, filling, healthy, spicy and flavourful. I will be there often. Haven't tried the donuts yet but I will.

DONUTS THAT PUT TIMMIES TO SHAME - Edit
Went here for a quick brunch, but also to see what the buzz was about their addictive donuts. My ladyfriend and I shared a seitan chorizo burrito (+guacamole) along with an espresso donut and a caramel glazed donut.
Read moreI used to be a big fan of Tim Hortons donuts growing up, and since going vegan I'll asmit that I miss it from time to time, but Hot Beans donuts are fresher, doughier, chewier, more decadent and not full of chemicals and cruelty. Hallelujah.
The burrito was filling, flavourful and had great textures from the crispiness of the pressed burrito, the smooth richness of the guacamole to the gristly chewiness of the chorizo seitan strips.
The menu is basically burritos, so not much in the way of variety, but why bother when you've got a lock on burrito magic.
My only non-positive comment would be that the spicy salsa is actually medium and there is no true spicy salsa, but if you're a wussy then you'll appreciate that. ;-)
I plan to go back many a time.
6 Happy Cows.
Pros: friendly, reasonable, donuts
Cons: none
