Best vegan burrito in Japan!

I don't even have the words to describe how delicious this vegan burrito was! It was so filling, and the flavors were perfectly combined! They make their own soy meat, and I really hope that they will expand their vegan menu. I believe that with just a few small tweaks they can easily veganize many of their existing dishes. But in the meantime, I highly recommend having the vegan burrito if you are in Takayama!

Favourite place in Takayama!

Great burrito and fries! They make their own vegan meat from scratch and it’s delicious. We do wish they had more than one option, even if the one option is amazing. Because they make a soy cheese too I think it would be possible to make their vegetarian options all vegan. If they were all vegan everyone is happy :). The owners are super friendly and we had a good time there.

Pros: Clear vegan option, Vegan meat/cheese, Flavour

Cons: One option

Great Burritos

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal of burrito with fries and burrito with salad. This was all that was vegan on the menu, but it was a fabulous option... it was really delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the fun atmosphere of the restaurant.

Good tasting burrito

There was only one vegan option on the menu and it was the burrito. I did like it, but I'd really like to see more than one vegan option.

The staff was friendly and made some small talk with us.

Great taste and excellent staff

We arrived at EvilTex for a late lunch. They quickly came to us and right away asked if a there was someone vegan or vegetarian on the table. A vegan vegetarian menu in English was readily available.

They food was delicious! The size of the burrito was excellent! Much bigger than the portion size you normally find in Japan. It made me think of the Chipotle burrito you find in the US.

The staff was very friendly!

I intended to go back but unfortunately we made changes to our travel plans and could not make it there again.

Pros: Large meal size, Flavor, Friendliness

Cons: Only1 vegan option.Some veget. might b made vegan, No vegan desserts

Coolest place in Takayama

Achingly cool people at Evil Tex really know how to do the veggie thing! They have lots of great options, that are unbelievably tasty with huge portions! A veggie burger that makes you double take and worry a little! So good we tried to go back the next day but it was closed wednesday. It's a must try if your in the area.

Pros: Big portions, Big taste, Cool staff

Cons: Closed Wednesdays

Awesome food in an american-inspired restaraunt

Vegetarian/vegan menu plus vegetarian/vegan sides available. Uses soy meat for burgers, burritos, enchiladas, etc. Lists ingrediants for soy meat on vegetarian/vegan menu. Staff are happy to make changes to the meals to accommodate dietary restrictions and choices. Waitress conversed in English. Huge drink selection as well. One of the best meals I've had in Japan.

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options, Friendly service and atmosphere

So good

We came here as it was one of the only vegetarian friendly places open on new years day but we were presently surprised by the delicious burgers and burritos. It had a ‘route 66’ American diner feel and the staff were lovely. They had a good number of vege options and double checked our dietary requirements when we ordered. Beer selections were good too!

Pros: Great tasting Western style food, Great service, Good beers!

Cons: On the pricier side for Japan

Our favorite vege burger ever

If we could put 5 stars, we would. This was by far one of the best vege burgers that we have had.

Sorry that we did not thought about taking a picture

YUM! something different

Omni fiancé had a burger and I had the vegan burrito. Very understanding about vegan. I asked for fried pickles and the lovely server kindly let me know the batter had egg! When my meal was delivered she assured me no fish, meat, dairy, egg etc. was delicious! And something a little different after 2 weeks of Japanese food.

Pros: Delicious food, Very friendly staff, Good knowledge of veganism

Cons: Only 1 vegan option,although about 5/6 vegetarian

One good vegan option

The vegan burrito was really good, but I am confused as to why nothing else on the menu can be made vegan since they already offer ingredients for vegan nachos, etc. This would be a good place to go if you are with a group of non-vegans.

Fast-Food

If you like fast-food, this is a place for you. I would have given 3 stars, because the food isn't that good but in general not bad and therefore not comparable to fresh food. Give it a try if you need some "Western" food

Tasty!

This is a great restaurant with enough options for vegetarians: burrito, veggie burger, enchilada’s.

All the food was very tasty and the restaurant itself was nicely decorated in an ‘Americana’ style.

Amazing Mexican food in Takayama

Would leave 5 stars if I could. Ate here as soon as we got off the train, very close walk. The restaurant is so nice and cute and hip, loved the decorations. Owners were really cool and immediately asked if we were vegan or vegetarian. The only vegan option is the burrito but it really is so delicious! The soy meat is amazing. Comes with either a salad (nice lettuce and tomato) or skinny French fries and a side of pico de Gallo and a tiny guacamole. The Mexican mule was delicious, very limey and gingery. Highly recommend!

Pros: Close to train, Amazing burrito , Hip and nice ambiance

Cons: Burrito is only option, Some might consider it expensive (it’s worth it)

Delicious!

I had a vegetarian burrito with fries and a beer. Very delicious and good quality. Large portion size which justifies the higher price. Separate veggievegan menu was a huge bonus. Wish I could give it 5 stars because they deserve it

Pros: Stylish design , Good quality, Friendly staff
