Incredible

Such good food and a lot of options. The staff makes it easy to order vegan options and customize things to make them vegan. Several of my meat eating friends like the jackfruit birria and consume just as much as I do. There are a lot of condiments to fix your taco exactly how you like it, and the agua loca is my new obsession.

Pros: Good portions, Vegan Cheese!, Helpful staff

Cons: A little slow sometimes

PHENOMENAL

IDK why this isn't the hottest taco spot in town. These jackfruit birria tacos are like no jackfruit I've ever had before! We will be back. Apparently there are several vegan options, so there's more to try!

Pros: Parking is easy and plentiful , Indoor and outdoor seating. , Many options

authentic and vegan mexican food!

so good! i’ve been missing authentic mexican / tacos (chipotle isn’t cutting it 🥲) and this is great great stuff! they have jackfruit, veg cheese and labeled fixings. really good 😋😋 i got the jackfruit tacos (so yummy) and a potato taco (not as good). my boyfriend got the vegan quesadilla and really liked it

the employees also know what’s vegan and what’s not, which is very helpful😄

Pros: authentic mexican food , salsa bar! , vegan cheese!!!!!!

Cons: expensive guac :(

Fabulous birria (jackfruit barbacoa)

While this will never be considered health food. I must say I was very happy with my choice. It is far from my house and I wanted to try something new I have never had a birria taco before
I ordered the #1.
Jackfruit birria (with vegan cheese) comes with : 2 birrias, chips, and a vegetable soup which was outstanding….Really!
The salsa bar was also great. There was whole pickled fresh jalapeños, carrot escabeche, at least 4 salsas clearly marked hot medium and mild (whew), fresh Pico, limes, cilantro and diced onions (impressive flavors… I had thirds on the escabeche.
I tried the mango juice but it was overly sweet. I cut it with water more ice and lots of lime. I’m not used to sweet. The mango bits in the drink were nice.

Pros: Lots of vegan options and great fresh salsa bar, Well versed in vegan, clear signs and COVID safe , DELICIOUS fresh fast(not health food)inexpensive

Cons: Hard to find , Hole in the wall style , Can’t beat it for taste! not healthy vegan (oily)
