Great Food - Edit
Family-owned business and friendly. This place needs some attention as the a/c was getting fixed while I ate my lunch on a 115° day. The food, however, was very tasty and filling. Worth a visit or for takeout.

All your favorite Mexican foods made vegan - Edit
The menu listed so many of my favorite Mexican foods … enchiladas, pozole, tacos and tortas … that it took me awhile to decide on a chicken sope with beans, rice and agua de jamaica. I think anyone, vegan or omni, would be really pleased with this dish. The refried beans were a bit salty, but I’m used to my mommy’s low- or no-salt Mexican cooking. The sope came with pico de gallo, green salsa and finely shredded cheese. The food was reasonably priced and the service was patient and friendly.
Read morePros: Long menu of Mexican favorites , Reasonable prices , Clean, spacious restaurant
Cons: Refried beans a little salty

Good for the Neighborhood - Edit
It was a little confusing to find as the place seems to have two names, but they assured me the menu is all vegan. Other diners seemed to not disagree. They were out of vegan carnitas so I opted for cactus enchiladas which were great. Never eaten cactus before so the server gave me a free sample first. Very tart! Place has a strange den like vibe but hey it is Vegas.

Veel keuze - Edit
Afhaalbestelling was snel klaar. Wel heel pittig (ik had de groene saus gekozen omdat de rode saus juist erg pittig zou zijn). Ik had ook een blikje Sprite besteld maar die zat niet bij mijn bestelling. Ik heb 15 minuten gelopen en kwam er pas bij aankomst in mijn Airbnb weer achter. Ik ben dus niet teruggegaan.
Read morePros: Veel keuze, Alles is vegan
Cons: Locatie, Sfeer

Delicious! - Edit
What a gem of a vegan joint in Vegas! We were pleasantly surprised to find this place and enjoy it so much. As others have stated, the ambiance leaves something to be desired, but the food makes up for that. We ordered the guac and chips, pastor burrito, asada quesadilla, and a churro (not pictured - we ate it too fast). Definitely a must in Vegas!

10/10 AMAZING … UNTIL - Edit
UPDATE 18 OCT 2023 -
Read moreI miss the old Pancho’s😒they have moved locations, and lost their quality and charm. The building itself looks like a cheesy wedding venue with mirrored walls and shimmery … everything. The guac was bland. The rice tasted like a school cafeteria’s rice. I tried the Tacos Dorados, and was disappointed with the lack of seasoning. I was so excited to come back to this place, but it looks like I need a new favorite spot outside the airport.
THE BEST VEGAN TACOS! This place was so impressive. The menu is really extensive. I got the Taco Tuesday deal, which was 3 street tacos and a drink for $9.95, and a “small” order of nachos. The nachos were still HUGE- no complaints though. You have to try the cactus as your “protein” on something, so unique and tasty. Very close to the airport, so it’s really convenient when you get off of the plane ready to EAT.

Pros: At least it’s vegan. , Good prices
Cons: Moved locations and stinks.

Conflicted - Edit
For the most part the food was excellent, although there was nothing special about the sides. However, they were out of several menu items (seemingly everything my dinner companion wanted) and weren’t making some of them (past time for a updated menu). Dessert items were limited to charros and flan; the other three dessert items weren’t available for one or the other of the above reasons. The service was indifferent at best.
Read morePros: Street tacos were great., Have the pozole. We’ll worth it., Consider takeout
Cons: Missing menu items, Indifferent service, Dish components missing (no cream for plantains)

Good food with good prices!! - Edit
So this is the second time I've eaten here. I ate here a couple years ago and was very content with price, food flavors, and the quantity of food you get. This time I decided to go with the large portion of the Supreme Nachos. I wasn't expecting how much food was going to be on my plate. It was a healing mound of nachos. They gave an option for a protein to add and my choice was mushrooms and cactus (I've never tried cactus and figured I would give it a try). Mushrooms were sauteed and spiced well. The cactus was a little interesting. If sugar snap peas were canned, that's kind of what the consistency would be. They didn't have too much flavor and they weren't bad but I wouldn't go out of the way to recommend them. Guacamole was good, pinto beans were good, nacho cheese was excellent. I would say if I had to complain about something it would be that the chips started getting soggy pretty quickly (at least the ones that were submersed in the cheese and other toppings). They moved from next door. I thought the other place had a better "Mexican" food vibe. I feel like they should do something with the insides. It looks like a wedding reception on the inside. And they had a wall of Dean Martin records and a PA system playing, it seems to be, random music. Food is good though. Staff is fine. I would recommend for sure. I spent about $14 with a tip.
Read morePros: Lots of choices from Mexican to burgers, Quantity of food for the price
Cons: Insides need an updating , Chips get soggy with the nachos

A Must - Edit
This place is a must stop when in Vegas! I don’t have Mexican food this authentic near where I live and the fact that it is all vegan makes it such a treat. This is our second time visiting and we got the mole enchiladas, chile relleno, horchata, and churros. All delicious with very reasonable prices. I highly recommend getting off the strip to try this place.

I was in heaven - Edit
Only had their nachos, when I needed food on the way home, but oh my goodness were they delicious! It was so much I almost couldn't eat it all, but I can't wait to try something else if that's anything to go by.

It was okay - Edit
My husband and I had the street taco platter and our daughter had the taco kid's plates. The food was decent for the price but I'm grateful I had the option. The service was friendly but I had to ask them a couple of times for a few things.

Not ever going back - Edit
Walking in, you're blasted by ice cold air. The service was slow and minimal. Food was either totally bland or spicy hot. It was tragic because we used to come all the time and it's just not the same. I was left speechless by how much we felt we wasted our money sitting in there with our coats on in May. Just an all around unpleasant experience.
Read moreCons: Food was bland, Salsa and guacamole there suck. Which is so key!!, Service and building were cold

We wanted to try a little bit of everything and figured that the street tacos were the way to go. They have many protein options (asada, al pastor, chorizo, chick’n, jackfruit carnitas, mushroom, and cactus).
Read moreWe ordered:
- chips and guac (their salsa verde was our favorite!)
- asada street tacos
- al pastor street tacos
- chorizo street tacos
- chick’n street tacos
- carnitas street tacos
- mushroom street tacos
My personal favorites were the al pastor and chorizo tacos!

An overall great experience, but... - Edit
Ordered the chili relleno dinner stuffed with asada and chorizo with a cactus street taco on the side and an almond milk horchata.
Read moreI loved it, all.
Very tasty, bold flavors, nice texture... would recommend to a friend.
The decor/interior/design was very curious, I'm not sure what to call it honestly. I asked my server what it used to be before it was a restaurant and she said it was an elder hospice. Made sense because the main dining area looks like it was a dance hall in days gone by.
I liked it.
Service was great, my server went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of, answered questions kindly, came back several times to check. It was very good service.
There WAS an issue that kept me from giving it 5 stars, and I hate this part of reviews, I want to say nothing but nice things because that's what feels good, and when something is part of the experience that wasn't great, I hate that I have to include it, but if I don't, I'm not offering an authentic review and that diminishes the value of reading what I have to say, so, that said...
There was a noticeably pungent unpleasant odor in the dining area. I wondered if it was just incidental and temporary... a result of something that happened and would be gone the next day, but it was the kind of odor that seemed like it was part of the place. So I figured, I probably need to include it because it will probably be part of your experience too if you go.
I literally almost didn't proceed to be seated when I first walked in, it was legitimately unpleasant.
But everything else about the experience was GREAT.
I hope that smell isn't normal.
Pros: Fantastic flavors, top notch service
Cons: dining room odor

Tasty Tacos - Edit
Ordered a variety of tacos (Al pastor, carnitas, mushroom, and fish) and a burrito. This definitely isn’t the best vegan Mexican place I’ve had but it gets 4 stars instead of 3 because of the variety of protein options.
Read moreThe carnitas were the only taco I really liked and the rest was just fine. Besides that the restaurant was large, clean, and lively.
Pros: Lots of options, Many vegan protein options
Cons: You could find better vegan Mexican food, The mushroom tacos were especially weak
