Great tacos!

This place offers 3 vegan tacos. We tried 2, the eggplant and the jackfruit. They were absolutely delicious, the jackfruit wasn’t quite to my taste but my husband loved it. The only down sides were the price (not super expensive but for 2 smallish tacos that fall apart in the take away box, a bit pricey) and the menu not being clearly allergy labelled. The menu listed only one of the tacos as having mole (contains nuts) on top and in reality they all do. It wasn’t a big deal as they said they can leave it off but I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t ask specifically and with no other ‘sauce’ on top it felt a bit bare. I maybe wouldn’t have gone if the menu had reflected this but only because it’s not suitable for my allergies, the food was great. 8.5/10

Pros: 3 vegan options, Delicious

Cons: Menu unclear, not suitable for allergy sufferers, Price for what you get

Great vegan tacos

I went with co-workers in town for a conference. I was the only vegan and this place was great!

We got all vegan appetizers to share (papas Rojas, guac, cauliflower ceviche). Those were all great!

I was so full I couldn't finish my tacos- I got the eggplant ones and the jackfruit ones.

My omnivore co-worker ate my remaining eggplant taco and declared it the best one he'd had (and he had meat ones!)

This place has genuinely delicious vegan options. Recommended especially if you're with non-vegans.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Outstanding!

Really delicious vegan options with amazing flavors! We had the plantain tacos & the jackfruit tacos. Also chips & guacamole. Everything was fresh and the restaurant is very clean. We can’t wait to come back to try the cauliflower ceviche. Highly recommend.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fresh flavors, Clean & close to downtown SF

Delicious, excellent service, fun atmosphere

This was our first stop on vacation and what a great place! The women taking our order was incredibly friendly and suggested great menu items. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the chips and Guacamole which was a beautiful presentation with an orchid flower and came with an amazing green salsa!! Yum

Great Flavors

They had three vegan taco options and several vegan appetizers. I had the plantain tacos, patatas rojas, chips and salsa. The flavors were full and tasty, and the coconut was delicious!

Tasty tacos

Absolutely delicious tacos!! They'd run out of eggplant when I came, so had jackfruit but they let me swap sauces (to have the mole normally on the eggplant). Jackfruit was deep fried, so really good and crispy. Mole was delicious. Chips and guacamole was nice and fresh, and good hot sauce
Cool little restaurant with vegan options clearly labelled

Pros: Really tasty, Labelled vegan options, Good value

Vegan Options

The menu is about 35-40% vegan.

My partner and I go here whenever we are near union square. Super delicious Jackfruit tacos. The plantain tacos are a close second. We have probably gone here once a month since they opened.

Pros: vegan options, very friendly staff and kitchen , great crowd

Cons: lots on non-vegan options

Best. Tacos.

I can’t say enough good things about this place; the via via tacos are delicious, the coconut mango salsa is amazing, and the staff are so friendly. I’d give it five stars if I could.

Clearly labeled vegan options

Ordered takeout for myself, got more than enough food. Each taco order comes with two - and they are very filling. Not to mention, very tasty! My non-vegan siblings approved too. I found the jackfruit tacos a bit salty but I still enjoyed them. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Not all menu items are vegan, but the ones that are are clearly labelled as vegan.

yummy tacos

had jackfruit tacos with greens, nori, mint and cabbage; REALLY good stuff. about half the stuff on the menu was vegan, definitely interested in trying the eggplant tacos or plantain/black bean.

Cons: could be a little bit bigger portions

My new favorite vegan friendly place of [censored] Hill

I would add 5x stars if the app would let me. I heard about this place from another vegan. Pretty much half the options are vegan which is awesome!

Each tacos was fresh, filling, uniquely packed with flavors and pretty affordable. It is everything I wish Gracias Madré was. We could tell that the ingredients were high quality.

We ordered the jackfruit tacos to share first, were amazed, so ordered the eggplant tacos, again finished amazed, so had to try the third vegan tacos option - plantain. We could not pick a favorite! We ll be back. I hope this place succeeds as it is right on my way home. Good luck!

Pros: fresh and healthy, affordable, delicious

amazing food, amazing service

You can dine in or take away. Prices are good. Portions are not too big but this makes that you could order a few things and share them. They have vegan jackfruit, cook banana and lots of other amazingness. I personally didn't even see meat on the menu but that was probably because I got too excited by anything else I saw :p
