One of the best vegan restaurants for vegans near kitty hawk - Edit

Tasty vegan tacos, fajitas - Edit
We tried the vegan fajitas and tacos. There was a bit of confusion initially in that the kitchen put non-vegan cheese on our beans and rice, however, they brought us replacements very promptly. The grilled veggies accompanying the fajitas were very fresh. The tofu accompanying the tacos was plain, but the small side of sauce really spiced things up.

The outside patio is very dog-friendly; the servers gave our pup a bowl of ice water and lots of pets.
May '24 update: Delicious, spicy guacamole made tableside. Friendly staff. Vegan/vegetarian options clearly marked on menu.

Looked better than it tasted - Edit
Ordered the vegan tacos, but they looked a lot better than they tasted. The ball of vegan cheese creme on top was interesting 😵💫. However the food is fair priced and they give free nachos with salsa to everyone.

Surprised by how great it was! - Edit
I hadn't been to a Plaza Azteca in about 10 years and had no idea the menu had become so vegan-friendly! The vegan tacos with vegan meat and vegan cheese were delicious! The table made guacamole is always good. And the staff were so nice and friendly. The food also came out super fast. It was the best meal we had in OBX and we would definitely go back

Clearly labeled veg menu - Edit
They have a separate menu section for vegetarian and vegan dishes. Good amount of options, great portions at a fair price. The Burrito Vegano was very filling and tasty!

Tasty vegan options - Edit
I tried the vegan burrito and it was delicious and very filling (came home with leftovers too). Fun atmosphere for dine in but they also cater to takeout orders. If you're craving some legit food in the OBX that will fill you up, this is the spot.

Vegan Mexican - Edit
I loved the vegan bowl! I live in a larger city and this bowl beat out any Mexican I’ve had in 7 years! Sad to have only eaten there once!

The vegan items are clearly labeled and they have both tofu and vegan cheese available. We split the vegetable burrito, which was HUGE along with chips and guacamole. Delicious.
