Deserves six stars!

I know HappyCow has rules, but this place legitimately had some of the best vegan food I’ve had ANYWHERE! I was blown away by how good this place is. The tacos were unbelievable. So impressed and if I lived near here I would be going at least once a week for the rest of my life.

Deserves 5 stars!!

It’s Taco Tuesday!!Today’s vegan special was the curry cauliflower taco. Outstanding! Also enjoyed the imposter taco (breaded cremini mushroom with a balsamic reduction and a bit of a kick). Local made flour tortillas were superb. Seasoned chips (quite spicy) and phenomenal homemade salsa completed the picture.

Pros: Fun eclectic flavors!, If it’s not already vegan, they’ll make it vegan!, Craft beers and other indulgences

Cons: Closed in the mid afternoon

Vegan tacos and other options

Really loved my dragon taco, also got a noodle special that wasn’t as good, but I’d definitely recommend this spot! They have lots of drink options too.

Simply the best vegan in Amarillo. Coolest people, great food, and amazing food.

As always, a great experience here with the friendly staff. They are a shining example of how to survive COVID as a business.

Pros: At least half of the menu is vegan.

Cons: Closed Sunday and Monday

Delicious and Can’t Miss

The staff is friendly and the food is delicious! YCSF has an amazing range of options that are or can be veganized.
I had the veggie burger which was 8.5 pre tax — it had mushrooms and (I assume) beans — and was sooooo good! The best home made, plant based party I’ve ever tasted!! The “Hulk” taco was excellent as well and my first time having seitan.
The manager on duty would make rounds around the tables indoors and on the patio every so often, checking in on people, clearing tables, refilling drinks, and answering questions. I thought it was really great and endearing.
The best food I’ve had on my road trip so far!

Pros: Friendly staff, Atmospheric , Refill teas

veg burger not vegan

I was told recently that their veggie burger isnt vegan, they use an egg in it. But their tofu tacos are vegan but be sure to ask for vegan aioli, just ask to make it vegan!

AMAZING FOOD

This is a perfect example of a restaurant that Amarillo needs. Delicious food, with increased vegan options, and great beer! They are wonderful people who are doing a great thing in Amarillo, TX. They have a consistent menu where all the vegetarian items are now vegan, but they still run daily food specials, so check their Facebook page before going. Their service is timely considering they make each plate fresh to order, but they are super busy, which is expected because they are awesome. They also have brunch every Saturday with vegan options that are incredible! I live for their vegan brunch gravy fries and beermosas! The chefs of YCSF are great people creating amazing food! I will ALWAYS recommend YCSF

Pros: a selection of delicious vegan options., no longer in a small shack drive thru, amazing beer selection.

Cons: not open every day to eat awesome deliciousness.

Amazing Tacos!

This place is not a chain. It is run by people who really care. The food is amazing. I got the mushroom taco, the dragon tofu taco, and the fish taco. They were all delicious but my favorite was the dragon tofu. I will definitely come back here anytime I am in Amarillo. Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner YCSF!

Pros: Vegan and vegetarian options , Delicious!, Friendly staff

It felt like coming home

After a week on a road trip in the US when eating vegan felt like a lot of compromises, arriving at Yellow City Street Food was an amazing experience. The vegan tacos and burger that I had was amazingly tasty. It feels so nice with a restaurant where eating vegan doesn't mean just excluding a bunch of stuff. As an additional bonus, the craft beer selection is really great.

Best cooked vegan options

My kids love the tofu with fries for kids and I love there specials for brunch and the vegan desserts. Also I could eat a bucket of the mushroom chicken they use with waffle and chicken. I would give it five stars but it won’t let me.

Pros: So friendly , Very great quality food , Atmosphere is casual cool

Cons: Not fast food. But awesome dining experience

YES vegan tacos in Amarillo!

So happy to have found this place as we were making our way through Texas. Didn’t expect to find much in terms of vegan options in Amarillo, so we were so happy that the tacos were awesome. They were indulgent and delicious.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, Good vibes, a little punk rock

Cons: A little pricey, but worth it

Traveling through Amarillo, we're so glad we stopped at this gem of a place! Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, & they're happy to accommodate to taste (spice level, etc.) We left full, happy, & looking forward to visiting again the next time we're in Amarillo!

Pros: Super friendly staff. Love the positive messages a

Cons: Wish it was 100% vegan, but respect that it's not.

Not to be missed!

Driving through Amarillo and found this recommendation on HappyCow. The menu is small but not disappointing. INCREDIBLE vegan mushroom tacos!! Great beer and wine selection as well. We will definitely stop in again whenever in Amarillo.

Pros: great vibe, locally sourced items

Cons: long wait but well worth it

closed Sunday and Monday

You can find their location and hours on Facebook. Best fried mushroom tacos ever! The menu changes daily and is usually posted on Facebook as well. Dinner menu starts at 5pm the wait can be long (line to order & pay) plus wait for food. Don't go if you're in a big rush but the food is well worth the wait.

They weren't open and it looked like they may not have been for a while. Might check before driving out of your way like we did.

Our fb, ig, & twitter pages explain that we're currently moving to a new location. We closed down mid last week to work on our transition (a lot to get done). We posted a sign to the bldg with this information. We plan to have our grand opening (in our now bigger location) Tues, Sept 27th. We hope you'll come by & see us. We updated our happycow profile with new address.

Drive thru

They provide a vegan taco which is very good but oily. It is a drive thru and no place to eat except your car or take home.

Pros: Tofu Taco with veggies

Our apologies it was oily. Which taco was it? We are opening up our new spot Sept 27, 2016...we'd love if you'd stop back to see us! We have indoor seating now as well.

Wish we had a restaurant where we live!

This little restaurant's facade does little to indicate the delicious food the proprietor's create. The homemade veggie burgers were fantastic! The quinoa patties were wonderful as well. We pulled up at closing time as we were passing through town and they prepared our food with a smile.

Pros: Great food, Veggie friendly , Good size portions

My Favorite!

They have amazing food here and are open to customizing so can be vegetarian and vegan friendly. The Imposter is incredible - a portobello taco! And their fish tacos are hands down the best ever. - anywhere. Both are 'must tries'. I love that their presentation is so nice in such a casual setting -and that they care about the quality of food they serve. ENJOY!

Pros: Fresh real food

Cons: Needs a bigger place
