Great vegan Mexican food

Got the carne asada burrito, and it was incredible. Very reasonable prices for food (and a $5 tecate, maybe the cheapest drink I found in the city)

New Favorite Taco Spot

Tried the pollo, carnitas, and carne asada tacos and they were absolutely delicious! Brought a non-vegan friend to try this place with me and he was also impressed! Said his asada fries were better than majority of the non-vegan ones he’s had😄

One of my favorite mexican places in LA!!!

Wow, the burritos were amazing! I adore cozy little places, and I was pleasantly surprised by their exterior patio (you wouldn't expect it from the outside). The burritos were really delicious. They offer a lot of options, so now I need to go back to try the rest of the menu!

Tacosssss!

I was craving some vegan tacos that were similar to the ones I had in CDMX. These were close. Love the ambiance but few turnoffs.

For $3.50/taco I wish they had better portion sizes and couldn’t believe I had to pay extra for a little bit of habanero salsa. I like a little fire.😄

Pros: Tacos

Cons: Portion size, Extra $ for salsa? Ehhh

Great Taco Stop

I had the 3 tacos combo plate. The tacos were good. I had the veggie, al pastor and carnitas. The al pastor was the best of the three. The rice and beans were alright. The portion size could have been a little bigger.

The refried beans were a little bland and they charge $0.65 for salsa which wasn’t great. That just seems a little petty. Overall I would definitely come back though.

Pros: All plant based, Al pastor tacos, Nice ambiance

Cons: Charge for salsa, Refied beans were a little bland

Good tacos with vegan meat

Also not as expensive as the rest of LA. Taco plate with 3 tacos for 12 bucks. Variety of vegan meats. Location was a little loud, but generally cool. Their drinks are also amazing. Spicy is actually spicy. Would return anytime.

Pros: Big menu, Selection of faux meats

Cons: Noisy, Service coooould be better

Good but pricey w/ small portions

We had the cheese quesadilla and the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. The cheese quesadilla was very basic and it cost extra to even add a dipping sauce (we had guac). The tacos were good, but we didn’t expect them to be so small. The range of proteins was nice however.

Pros: protein options, decor

Cons: pricey, small portions, extra costs to add anything

Vegan Tacos 🌮

This is a charming place. It was our first stop on an overnight layover to LA. It did not disappoint. We got 3 tacos with beans and rice, which was very filling. We loved the tacos. I couldn't resist and got a mango agua fresca, which was very refreshing and perfectly sweet. I was tempted by the corn, so I ordered it on the side. I was expecting Mexican Street corn vibes, but it was a simple buttered corn side dish I could've done without, not bad, just not what I was hoping for. But overall, I would recommend and definitely come back.

Amazing vegan Mexican food

Amazing vegan Mexican restaurant downtown! They have a relatively small menu, but the food was incredible! The quesedillas were filled with vegan cheese, and they have lots of plant-based protein such as saitan or soy curls. The staff is extremely friendly and open-minded and the seating area outside is very beautiful 😊

Pros: Amazing food, Completely vegan

Cute place, good food

I got the “fish” burrito and the loaded fries. Not the healthiest, but delicious enough that you won’t care.

Great vegan restaurant with nice environment. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Prices were a little high and the food lacks flavor. Would return but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Cons: Quite expensive , Lacks flavor

Vegan tacos for the win

Delicious vegan tacos! The margarita was surprisingly good too; not too sweet. The tacos were so flavorful and well seasoned. I was hesitant about the fish taco but it was so good! Next time I gotta try those loaded fries or nachos *drooling*

Pros: Full vegan menu, Drinks
