Plenty of Vegan Options!

This place has several vegan and non-vegan options! My dad and I went here twice for dinner and were able to try something different every night without being disappointed. Highly recommend the vegan zucchini tacos!

Good choice veg in Oaxaca

$40 for the two of us: both had salads; 2 tacos each, one glass of wine; bottled water and a dessert. Food was tasty, fresh. Decor simple and nice as was the service

Pros: Food tasty, Fresh

Incorrect order and rude service

Ordered an explicitly marked vegan option (menus are now marked with vegetarian and vegan symbols) and it came out with dairy cheese on it. I confirmed with the waiter that it was cheese before telling him that I’m vegan and don’t eat cheese. He sighed audibly before taking the dish away. It seemed odd to us that the menu was clearly labelled with vegan-friendly options, yet the server was not apologetic or understanding at all. The kitchen ended up being out of the dish I originally ordered after that, so I got the mushroom tostaditas instead. They were tasty, but there are no vegan proteins on the menu, so the dish wasn’t very filling. I agree with others that there are not many vegan options here. Overall, I would not recommend it.

Very tasty! Was surprised

The menu is not so clear, but they show you what is possible. It was amazingly super tasty, fillings that I didn't taste before

Filling, large portions, local dishes

I went for dinner and was impressed by the number of vegan options. The menu is long, and pretty much everything on the menu is a local dish. I had a green corn soup, two tacos, and a mug of chocolate. My food came quickly and was very satisfying.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Not fully vegan

Lots of good options

I’ve been here several times, I’m a big fan of the salsa in particular. They don’t speak English, but they understand “Puedes hacerlo vegano?”

Not clear options

Pretty hard to figure out what is vegan unless you speak good Spanish. Nothing marked. At the time of ordering there was mushroom stew tacos that were vegan.

Really tasty, few options

Really enjoyed what I got at this restaurant (tried the pozole and vegan burrito). It would be nice if there were more vegan options (everyone ask). Omni family I was with loved what they got as well.

Ask them to label vegan options on the menu, read all below reviews before going

I was curious about the posole, which I never had, since I’ve been a vegetarian then vegan for so long. It was quite tasty (got the verde), and worth going. Since I had read the reviews below, I asked for a huitlacoche taco, even though it was not on the current menu, and they made me one. It was ok, improved by the avocado I had left from the posole. Omni husband ordered two different meat tacos, said one was ok, the other equaled the best he’s had. Be sure to read the reviews below so you know what people have ordered there in the past, so you can order off-menu options. Our server claimed that no one there that night spoke any English, so be prepared to explain yourself in Spanish. Ask them to mark vegan items clearly on the menu. Perhaps repeated efforts on our parts will help make this place more vegan-friendly.

Pros: Vegan posole, Staff will work to accommodate you if asked

Cons: You m be prepared to explain your diet in Spanish, Food quality variable, Vegan items not clearly marked

Delicious, few options for vegans.

Me and my wife eat at Cabuche quite often. We love their vegetarian pozole and the "curado de avena" (great for your belly). Not so many vegetarian options, but one can only eat so much, so we are happy with what there is. Vegan/vegetarian tacos and tostadas with calabacitas and mole, quelites, mushrooms, are delicious. Vegan may find it more difficult, but if you ask the staff they will surley figure something out. Many salads and huaraches are also on the menu for vegetarians.

No vegan options

There were no vegan options here (and very few vegetarian). The vegan choice I ended up with were enchiladas filled with mashed banana...

Pros: Cheap

Good pozole but quite expansive

Went there on August 2019, and as stated in other comments there wasn't any clearly labelled vegan options. Sure you could ask them, but that's the same with almost any restaurant (as long as you speak Spanish and can explain what you (don't) eat). We ended up having the mushrooms pozole (we ask for the broth and they told us it was fine), which was good (I really enjoyed the pozole). But 75$ for a small pozole and an extra 40$ for a few slices of avocado seems a bit too pricey for me, considering the many other restaurants that can accomodate for vegans.

Pros: Good pozole

Cons: Expensive, Not labelled vegan options

Good, but not many vegan options

I haf a delicious vegan burrito, but it was not on the menu. They had to create a vegan dish, since they didn’t have any. My friends had way bigger meals, but mine was still the most expensive even though it only contained vegetables.

Pros: Nice and helpful staff, Delicious food

Cons: Expensive, No vegan options (you have to ask)

Good typical Mexican food

They are very accommodating, if you tell them you’re vegan they will help you make almost any dish vegan.

Amazing tasting dishes but few options

Cabuche is a large restaurant with a nice outdoor seating area in the back. They serve alot of different dishes and I have tried three of their offerings. The Black Mole (Enmolada), Vegiterian Tlayuda and the Vegan Pozole. I must admit that the Black Mole (with sweet plantains) is one of the riches and most complex plates I've ever tasted. I don't know what are all the things that go into the black Mole sauce but it is oozing in flavor from left to right. The Vegan Pozole was a treat as well. A good dish if you're looking for a warm soup that comes with avacado rice and Salad. Both of these plates are worth checking out at Cabuche.

The Veggiterian Tlayuda on the other hand I think cannot recomend. It's 90% cheese, more cheese than I have found in quesadillas and it was just beyond overwhelming.

I like Cabuche and I think the Black Mole is an absolute must if you're in Oaxaca but I'm disappointed by the lack of options.

Pros: The Mole Negro is in a class of its own, The Pozole can be made Vegan , Nice outdoor seating area

Cons: Few Vegan and Veggiterian options

Mexican restaurant

When you go to Cabuche, you may probably ask yourself why this place is listed on Happy Cow. The menu covers all the typical Mexican dishes, which are not vegan. But staff is really helpful here and they will work it out with you what you would like to eat and how they could do this. You probably end up with food they could prepare for you in any other Mexican restaurant, too, but in some places they just don’t get it and so it can be quite difficult to get a really vegan meal.

I had a very tasty Burrito. In other reviews I have seen that some people had the pozole- beware of this, you better doublecheck, I was told that it is cooked with chicken stock!

Calabacitas con mole verde

Was very good and served with some tortillas. Small portion but sufficient, good price.

OK for vegans

On first seeing the menu, it did not look promising for a vegan. But the waiter said they could make items without cheese. I ordered a huarache, but it came with cheese. They redid it without. It ended up fine.

Great pozole

There is not much variety to choose from: the pozole which is great, a salad and a flat bread with mushrooms (ask for it without cheese). The food is delicious, however, and the girl who served us was lovely. Recommended for the incredible pozole.

Great traditional Mexican flavours

Yum! What great traditional Mexican flavours for a vegan like me. Homely space with sweet staff who understand vegetariana and vegan requirements. Tried the avocado and grapefruit, wow, and the vegetarian soup was super yummy. Reccomend to all veggies out there.

Pros: vegan options for some items, staff know what to h

Cons: mosquitoes came out in dusk as I sat to eat, bring

easy going and vegan friendly

Cool spot,
the attendant was cool and comprehensive and aware about/ of vegan diet.

I actually told them what i wanted inside on my tacos and they did it! Not many restaurants do that, so I really appreciated that from them!

should be 5 stars

the best food i've eaten in oaxaca. The sopa la chiapaneca is stunning. the tacos de raja con queso were great - we are a mixed family of vege and non vege parents and kids and we all left very satisfied. the service was friendly and fast - the art of the walls is beautiful and the space is very calm.

Et il m'a concocté la meilleure salade vegan de ma vie! accompagné de riz et purée de frivoles. parfaitement cuisinés, joli, Bon, Et super aimable, Voilà pourquoi autant d'étoiles!le tout pour 80$ sans le pour boire .

Pros: le service, le cadre, la qualité de la cuisine
