Vegan options inconsistent

They briefly had a vegan menu , than didn’t. Vegan options aren’t good currently, but are sometimes depending on the kitchen staff?

I have had both the best and worst nachos of my life at this spot so who knows?

Pros: Vegan options , Hot sauce wall

Cons: Inconsistent food

Hungry in Seattle

Visiting the city from Portland OR, stopping in to listen to live music at various spots but we needed a vegan friendly place to grab some food. This place was quick and had several vegan options.

Pros: Yummy vegan late night eats., They were so fast.

Alright!

My husband and I came here since everything that was 100% vegan was closed in the area. It was a cool restaurant and very vegan friendly! We got the chicken nachos and chicken taco and beef taco….the tacos were the length of my pointer finger…teeniest tacos ever! However they were delicious. My nachos were a good portion however not much flavor. Luckily the tacos came with beans and rice (which were both the most delicious I’ve ever had) so we threw them in the nachos and it made them so much better!

Pros: Vegan friendly , Lots of vegan options

Cons: Small serving sizes

Good Mexican spot on the hill

I use to love nachos prior to becoming a vegan, so I came in for just that. Ordered the nachos with “beef”. If you’re not a fan of spice I advise you to get it without jalapeños. They were very spicy and made the meal kind of unpleasant. Other than that the nachos were delicious!

Pros: Vegan menu

Quick bar eats

I’ve been going to Bimbos/Cha Cha for a decade (not always for food) and it’s nice to see them offer a dedicated page for vegan food. They expanded their options to do it! It’s not the best food ever but it’s fairly priced and they have a decent happy hour as well. It’s a bar so no kiddos and that does limit your drink options if you don’t want booze.

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu, Decent priced drinks, Fun atmosphere

So many vegan options

I got the vegan burrito with buffalo tempeh. It was really delicious though it didn’t taste like buffalo sauce at all, that’s my only complaint, their buffalo sauce could be better. Other than that all so good!

Tried to go—no minors allowed

We sought this place out based on the Happy Cow reviews. Unfortunately, nothing I saw on the site mentioned you must be 21 to eat here. The place may be great, but since we had our 18-year-old daughter with us we never found out. Server was very helpful though in recommending other spots.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good atmosphere, Celebrates diversity

Cons: No minors allowed :(

Tasty, good portions

Really nice place with vegan options. I had the vegan burrito with the vegan 'chicken' and it was very tasty. The staff was very friendly.

Pros: pretty big portions, normal prices

Cheezy kitsch, but cheesy kitchen

Funky vibe, great spot for drinks. When I went for dinner though, they were out of guacamole, which would have been my principal source of nutriment (ok ok, besides beer and chips) that evening. There's cheese in about everything. Hey, that's Tex-Mex for you--but for a vegan, the modified meal you'll have to order might not hit the spot.

They had two vegan items on the menu, which I would have been excited about years ago. But I think is another listing of a classic, cool Capitol Hill restaurant that's not that V friendly, and diluting up the Happy Cow directory.

Pros: Lively Mexican wrestler themed bar

Cons: Not a lot of V items

Vegan nachos and burritos!!

Funky spot in the heart of Capitol Hill. Their house-made vegan chipotle chicken is killer. Have had both the vegan nachos (piled high with delicious goodness) and an enormous wet burrito (spicy and very filling!). Can have food delivered downstairs at the Cha Cha Lounge. Service isn't stellar, but food came out very quickly. Great for people-watchers- you will overhear some interesting conversation between the bartenders and regulars.

Pros: Lots of vegan options
