Vegan Five Stars

Have been enjoying this spot for many years now. Delicious (lentil potato) taquitos, rice, beans, fries and salsas all are vegan. Very clean dining area and restrooms.

Note: Free Civita parking very easy, steps to storefront from street and parking garage is hard to resist over El Cajon Blvd cluster.

Vegan Taquitos, Beans & Rice!

I ordered both the “Vegan” (lentil and quinoa) and potato with the spicy salsa. Both were tasty and crispy. When ordering, ask for “no dairy,” and your taquitos will come topped with cabbage, guacamole, and pico. For $2 more (as of 10/23), you can add rice and beans. The guacamole and pico were both really good. I appreciate the fresh jalapenos and that it was clearly handmade. I was also happy the rice and beans had flavor and were not just bland side dishes like they often are at restaurants. The spicy salsa had a kick, which is also not always an easy feat.

For $12, I was beyond happy with my four taquitos and sides. The cashier was friendly, the interior was cute, and the food came out fast.

PS - the vegan options are clearly labeled, and the shop is gluten-free!

Delicious and gluten free

Many marked vegan options, 2 types of rolled tacos (potato and lentil/quinoa), chips and guac were so fresh and delicious, most reasonable prices I’ve seen in San Diego in a while, $10 for 4 tacos and a side of rice and beans. Be sure to specify “no dairy.” And it’s fully gluten free!

No Parking!!!

Can I just warn people that parking is non-existent here??? The only open spots were for electric vehicles so we left 😢 So disappointing.

Doesn't seem too fair that you rated them 1 star simply because of your inability to find parking that everyone else could. Terrible.

Potato and lentil flautas

The potato flautas and lentil ones are both amazing! We’ve made this a destination lunch spot whenever we’re in the area.
