Consistent, delicious, expanding menu - Edit
This place is consistently delicious. I always get the asada either in a burrito, tacos, torta or mulita. I hope they continue to expand options. Their version of a vegan mulita is a two corn tortilla quesadilla with your choice of filling, I was surprised at how much I liked the melty vegan cheese inside, it was delicious. Their aguas de día are also so refreshing and not as packed with sugars as traditional aguas would be.

Worth a stop - Edit
This place was in a Target parking lot next to a seafood truck. I ordered the asada burrito, which was very good, especially when I got down into the "meat." I would like to go again and try some tacos.

Delicious Surprise! - Edit
Didn’t know this place existed so when I saw a sign for vegan tacos on the side of this truck my jaw dropped! The entire menu is vegan and the person at the counter was very informative and friendly. I ordered the Ensenada, shrimp and birria tacos! They were all delicious and full of favor! The shrimp taco was my favorite; I though the texture was pretty similar to actual shrimp. The vegan spirits were looking out for me tonight!

Loved It! - Edit
Went back twice in one day. First had the carne torta. Second- bought a little of everything for the entire family. Meat eaters enjoyed the food. Can't wait to go back.

We had the 'shrimp less' shrimp taco, the portabello and the standard with cilantro & onions. All we're fantastic!

Authentic street tacos - Edit
These are exactly like, actually no, they are BETTER than other traditional street tacos in SD. I got the Marlin and Adobada, while the Marlin was good the Adobada was godly. Glad to see, we need more vegan places like this.

Small menu / great taste! - Edit
After a rigorous ride up the hills from downtown San Diego in 90+ degree heat on my one-speed folding bike, two tacos didn't quite fill me up, so I bought a third! The asada was my favorite followed by the adobada and the fish taco. I think $3-4 for a quality street-sized taco with all the fillings (and more you can self-add) is quite reasonable. And their lavender-lemon water hit the spot. It would also be nice to have a dessert item to complete the meal. [They now accept credit cards but charge a 45-cent fee, which is understandable since the transaction amounts for a meal can be quite low.]

Delish! - Edit
How delightful to stop at Target and see a vegan taco truck in the parking lot! We obvs had to get a few! I apprehensively chose the spicy, fried mushroom taco (I forget the actual name) because I always thought I didn't like mushroom but BOY was I wrong! My friends got 3 different kinds and everyone ate theirs so fast without sharing because they were that good! I will definitely be returning!

DELICIOSO! - Edit
I HIGHLY recommend these tacos. I had the "carne asada" and my husband had the same plus the "fish" taco. If you're visiting Balboa Park, it's not too far away in the Express Target parking lot. Sooooo good!

Great Vegan Tacos - Edit
This place has really good vegan soft tacos with several varieties. It's good to finally have an all-vegan taqueria in San Diego. They are a bit expensive for the portion size ($3.50 to $4 for a moderately small taco), but it's good quality.
Read morePros: Great taste, All vegan, Friendly service
Cons: A bit expensive for the portion size, Somewhat limited menu (at least right now)
