Phenomenal! - Edit
It was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back soon. We got the nachos and the portion was huge! It was super good and well worth the price. The aguas frescas was also delicious, I was super happy to see that had watermelon 😁 wish it was closer to me but I don’t mind making the drive!

Best Vegan Food in San Antonio - Edit
Viva Vegeria is easily the best vegan food in San Antonio and also among the best vegan food I've had anywhere. The food is yummy, extremely fresh, well priced, and comes in large portions. The staff are very nice, very friendly. They have a large patio with lots of shade, plus lots of indoor space.
Read moreThe only downside for out-of-towners is that you'll need a car to get here, but the location is part of the charm. You'll also get to see San Antonio beyond the tourist traps and the patio is a peaceful place to hang out if the day isn't too hot.
Truly an excellent restaurant, I wish I could give it more than five stars!

Outstanding all-vegan Mex! - Edit
Our party of four loved this place! Cheerful colorful decor of a traditional Mexican restaurant with an extensive, all-vegan and gluten free menu. Very fresh! We enjoyed every dish we ordered and you get a lot of food for your money. The daily special was only $7.99. We ate indoors but there’s a nice shady patio too. BYOB.

The ambiance and the service is absolutely great. My eyes wanted it all but I went for my all time favorite, Mole Poblano. It had been years since I had it.

Probably my favorite vegan restaurant in SA - Edit
Viva has always hit the spot and serves up some amazing dishes.
Read moreI enjoy the nachos (half order is huge), the Buffalo cauli wings and the chicken flautas. Pro tip: dunk your rice into your side of beans- so delicious!
Their food always tastes super fresh- especially the side salad. They are also dog friendly and let you bring your dog inside the back seating in the restaurant.
Everything is vegan and gluten free. Delicious!

Chill vibes, excellent prices - Edit
You’d think since this is a fully gluten-free menu that it would be kind of weak, but no!! I wanted to order everything, but I went with the mushroom chicharron tacos. You get three super-packed tacos along with salad, rice and beans for less than a tenner. The crunch of the fried mushrooms with the creamy sauce and the tortillas were a perfect combo. My friend got the nachos that had kimchi and she ordered the half-size: That thing was huge and sooo good! My aunt had the al carbon tacos from the daily special menu, and it looks like they use soy curls for the meat. She’s not vegan and said they were super flavorful. I’m definitely going back to try more, like the nachos and the enchiladas, and some of the chocolate cupcakes they had.

Best vegan food in SA - Edit
I love this Family-friendly spot. We had lunch out on the patio under the shade. The murals are colorful, the employees kind, and the food incredibly delicious! It wasn’t crowded on a Saturday afternoon and I brought my non-vegan mama who loved her meal!

Best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth - Edit
Anything on the menu is good. My go-to is enchiladas verdes. Amazing prices not just for vegan place but Tex mex in general. Enchilada plate $8.99, apps for $4. Owner gives back and educates the community. You have to stop by here if in SA.

Cozy, homey good vibes - Edit
So I have been coming here with my family for years now pretty much since they opened! I have a lot of great memories of eating lunch here with my Tia and Grandma. She lived right down the street so it was always very convenient to meet up here! Sadly she has passed on now but coming to eat here fills me with many happy memories! It is truly a charming little restaurant that makes you feel like you're actually just hanging out at home. The colorful interior is very cheery, the staff are always so friendly and my oh my the food is to die for! Everything is delicious but some of my favorite dishes are the classic vegan nachos, the chicharones tacos and the chicken flautas. Oh and you have to get the sandia aguas frescas, it's a must! Do not sleep on this place, you absolutely have to try it just once and you'll be hooked forever.

One word: DELICIOUS! - Edit
and this is an all VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE TEX-MEX RESTAURANT!!! I visited in June 2021 and I tried the Mushroom Chicharron Street Tacos served with Mexican rice, charro beans and my kids had the chicken mole enchiladas, also served with Mexican rice, charro beans & salad, & we all shared the classic vegan nachos. ALL very good!! I’d definitely try this restaurant again on my next visit to the SA area!

I was on a long flight and hungry af! I ordered so much food knowing I’ll enjoy this place. And of course I did! Every bite was flavorful and taste better than I remembered the Mexican food I had with animals in it. I wish this place was in my city in Fort Lauderdale FL. I will dream of it!

Out of all the vegan spots in San Antonio, this is my favorite! The food is fresh and amazingly tasty, the portions are huge, delivery is fast!
Read moreTheir chicharrones tacos are literally to die for! I could eat this food every day, no joke.
The buffalo “wings” are also on my fav list but I’ve tried the nachos, enchiladas etc. Bring your non vegan friends and I guarantee they won’t miss the meat!
Pros: Incredible food, Great vegan place on Southside, Indoor and outdoor seating
Cons: A little pricey but worth it! , Parking is very limited
