All Time Favorite

I have only great things to say - the food is delicious, everyone is friendly, and the vibes are the best. The little seating area is great at all hours, with warm lighting at night, and shade and misters in the day. Please try this business if you are in Austin - ask for the black bean nachos if you can't have gluten or soy, even if they don't show on the menu. The brunch burrito is great if you have no restrictions!

Pros: Fantastic foods and sauces, The black bean nachos are GF and SF, Great service, great location

Cons: There's only one location

Loved it

I got three tacos. My friends got the big breakfast burrito and the quesadilla. They're big meatheads and they raved about the food the entire time we ate. Can't wait to visit again.

Pros: All vegan, Great flavors , Reasonably priced

I would travel back to Austin just for their tacos

I had the Grilled Avocado Reale upon first visiting Austin for the first time and it sent my taste buds into heaven. Of course, I had to return again before I left and I had the Birdie Sanders. Once again the food was to die for!

Super lovely staff and a comfortable place to sit and chat.

Pros: Probably some of the best food I've ever had, Staff was very friendly

an all vegan taco truck with outdoor dining on picnic tables

The Vegan Nom is an all vegan taco truck with outdoor dining on picnic tables. They specialize in innovative creative tacos that are easily the best tacos I ever had.

I went with the Grias Madre breakfast taco and the Nueva Onda adding kale and tempeh bacon. I went with one corn and one flour taco to mix it up. Both were delicious and hearty enough. Enjoyed the hot sauces they had.

Service was friendly. I'm definitely coming back here to try the dinner menu.

Of note other food trucks near by feature a vegan veggie burger food truck run by Vegan Nom, another vegan food truck featuring more savory entrees, a vegan milk shake vegan food truck, and a coffee food truck.

Pros: innovative creative tacos , easily the best tacos I ever had

New Favorite Tacos

The fish and Korean BBQ tacos are incredible. The queso is pretty good too. I also tried the burrito but thought it was average. While here, also check out Milkyway Shakes!

YESSSS

These are the best vegan nachos I've ever had. Heck, maybe even the best nachos period. I usually get Jorge's beef nachos, and they even impress a non-vegan who sometimes tags along with me to go here.
The seating area is really nice, too.

Pros: It's all vegan!, Lots of options

Queso, they're great.

Pardon my pun. 😂 This place was awesome. I got Jorge's "beef" burrito. It was delicious but also enormous - so in no way did I finish it. Cheers to lunch tomorrow, too! Chips and queso here is to die for. This place is worth a visit - even if it's for the queso alone.

Tasty tacos

The fishless taco and Korean BBQ tacos were really tasty, but $5.5 (before tax) per taco is a little too steep when the fillings weren't too generous either (the fishless was screaming for more guac). Nice for a treat, but I couldn't eat here regularly.

Flavorful tacos

The tacos are medium sized not too small or too big. I Ordered the Mushroom/spinach/caramelized onion tacos which was sautéed in a delicious sauce so yummy 🤤. I also had the Gracias Madre which was also tasty. My only complaint is the flour tortillas which aren’t homemade , other than that friendly staff and I didn’t have to wait long.

Pros: Lots of options , Rich flavors

Cons: Store bought tortillas , Ran out of The Bodega

Delicious food, rude staff

The food that I got here was absolutely incredible. However, the woman working was super rude. I'm not sure what her deal was but she acted like she didn't want us eating there/ordering food. I loved everything I got, especially really enjoyed the nachos. Wish the service was better but oh well.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Rude service

You CAN’T miss this spot

I’m obsessed with these tacos. You cannot visit Austin without going here! The variety and creative flavour of the tacos are unreal. My current favourite is the Korean BBQ and avocado one taco, but I’m always a fan of the birdie sanders, the fish taco and any of the breakfast tacos! Seriously I think this is one of Austin’s vegan gems!! I could eat these every day and be happy

Delicious tacos and nachos

We enjoyed the KBBQ taco, Birdie Sanders taco, and the Jorge’s beef nachos. The food was super good, especially the nacho cheese sauce.

Really cute spot with picnic tables, music, and also a vegan burger truck and a vegan milkshake truck!

We waited about 45 minutes for our food. You could tell everything was freshly made, we were just a bit hangry after a long day which made it feel long. But the music and good vibes make it a comfortable wait.

Pros: Delicious food, Cool vibes and music, Outdoor seating

Cons: Moderate wait (45 minutes)

Vegan Taco Heaven

It's always good to go where people know your name. I've literally had the whole menu three or 4 times over and still no complaints. Nothing like bomb tacos and Mexican coke

Pros: Wide variety of flavors w/o proteins tasting same

Great Tacos!

After reading so many amazing reviews, we had to give Vegan Nom another try. Full disclosure, we first visited in June 2019 and did not love it. The meat was super gluten-y and tacos (Del Ray, Korean BBQ, Birdie Sanders) weren’t very flavorful - I really didn’t get what the fuss was about.
HOWEVER, given the obsession people have with Vegan Nom, I felt like it must’ve been an off day, and so we came back twice more once we moved to Austin to give them a fair shake. I am soo glad we gave them another chance. The Del Ray actually tasted/felt like fish! Korean BBQ was soo tasty and all gluten aftertaste was gone! My favorites are the Del Ray, Nueva Onda, Super Fresco, and Migas, but honestly they’re all delicious.
Service has also always been super friendly, relatively fast, and they are happy to recommend personal favorites if you have a hard time deciding. Now we have a hard time resisting eating here every night!

Great little spot! Great vegan food!

This place didn't populate on Happy Cow, when I searched this app for vegan restaurants near me. I was going to another restaurant suggested on this app and they were too busy, so I just stumbled on this by accident. It's a small vegan food truck park. I had a taco called Birdie Sanders (simply because of the clever name) and it was amazing! Great place to sit outdoors with shade AND most importantly, they had misting fans that kept you cool cuz today was almost 90°! Glad I found this spot!

Mouthwatering Vegan Tex-Mex!

The perfect spice and flavor for their burritos and nachos. They give you hearty servings of vegan tastiness. Excellent customer service too!

Delicious!

I got the Birdie Sanders nachos—huge portion and delicious. The right level of spicy with a good mix of textures. The rest of the menu looked so good, wish I could’ve tried more!

Best tacos

Love the tacos here! Lots of different ones to choose from. Gracias Madre is probably my fav. The Super Fresco is like a Taco Bell taco but better!

Pros: Great variety! , Good salsas

All around good vegan food

Great options for different levels of hunger. The big brunch burrito is a go to meal but their quesadillas are also on point. Breakfast tacos are great too. Miss the Bodega taco

Keeps me coming back

The big brunch burrito is what I live for. The orange sauce is also good enough to drink. I’ve had some weird service experiences but the newer crew I keep running into seems much better and much more kind.

Good tacos

The tacos would have been good if they didn’t put too much sauce on them. Seems like tacos were sloppy and “thrown” together.
