Best tacos I’ve had in my life.

I have a foodie friend who works as a private chef for celebrities and has previously worked in a Michelin-star restaurant in NYC. I asked him where to go in El Paso, and this was the one spot he recommended. Naturally, I trust his opinion.

As a vegan, it was encouraging to see that they had a vegan-specific taco option and a vegan dessert. But in addition to that, they were also willing to adjust any of their vegetarian options to be vegan. They have a cashew crema they can substitute for the dairy one.

As a starter we ordered the huarache and asked them to make it vegan. SO good, highly recommend. For the main course, I had a combination of the vegan tacos (cauliflower almond) and also had the campesino tacos but had them make it vegan. The vegan campesino was seriously the best taco I’ve ever had in my life, no contest. It blew our minds. My partner is an omnivore and even had his own meat tacos, and he agreed that the vegan campesino is the best taco he’s ever had in his life too, by far. We ordered the chia pudding dessert and were also wowed by that. It was delicious and so well done.

As far as cocktails go, those were great, too! The old fashioned had a fancy ice cube in it with the restaurant name imprinted so that the cherry juice highlighted it. The margaritas were so good, not too sweet, just right.

Pros: Vegan options, Vegetarian options can be made vegan, Knowledgeable, friendly, flexible staff

Cons: Might need reservations
