Best Vegan Tacos Anywhere! - Edit
I’ve been to a couple of these in Las Vegas multiple times. I just found this location thanks to Happy Cow. My meal was outstanding and just as good as Vegas. So glad these folks are expanding, they deserve success.

A San Diego must try! - Edit
This beautifully themed restaurant is a must try! I had the birria tacos and the California burrito. Everything was amazing! The birria tacos were super flavorful. The cheese was perfectly melty. The dipping sauce was so flavorful it really added to the ridiculous yummyness of the tacos. The California burritos were so tasty and filling. The green sauce ots was super delicious without being too spicy. Also the portion sizes were beyond generous. Lastly the staff was so professional, sweet and helpful I really felt taken care of during my meal. If you are ever in the San Diego area this is a must try for vegans and non!

You have to go here!! - Edit
Wow I’m so happy that this place is occupied by another vegan place and it’s PERFECT. It’s in the spot where the Modern Vegan used to be. I was so impressed. They have a ton of different meat options for their tacos. We had the birria platter, Al pastor, and carne asada tacos and they were all incredible. Seriously this is my new go to in the area.

To die for - Edit
Visiting from out of state and found this all vegan Mexican restaurant. Tried their new chimichanga and it was fantastic. Horchata was refreshing and deep fried oreos very good too. I hope I can come back again this week while I'm in town. Atmosphere was nice and workers very friendly.

Pastry brought it up a star - Edit
Delicious options, the flavor of the meats are really good!
Read moremy only downside to the Cali burrito order was that it was a little too full to my liking where they get soggy quickly, the middle turns into soupy bites. The torta we tried was superb, the bread and beans combo is always top tier.
BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE IS AMAZE! Lots of cream cheese but the extra jam they give is *chefs kiss*
Pros: Variety of meats, Storefront was clean, takeout was easy, Blueberry cheesecake
Cons: $1/bite for the tacos

Great food, and good atmosphere. - Edit
I have been excited to try the food here, and brought the whole family. We ordered a lot of food! The birria and fish tacos were enjoyed by adults and children alike. We also enjoyed the plantain taco which was very unique. We also tried the asada, mushroom asada, and veggie tacos. If I realized there were mushrooms on the veggie taco I think I would have skipped the mushroom asada. The veggie taco was so much better than I expected! 👌🏼
Read moreMy daughter ordered a kid nachos thinking it would be a smaller portion of nachos, so she was very disappointed when chips with cheese on them arrived. Fortunately we ordered enough food to share with her, and she didn’t go hungry. 😉
The atmosphere here is really chill and welcoming. The staff was very helpful and friendly too! We dined in and everything was orderly and clean.
Next time we visit I look forward to trying different menu items. 💚
Pros: Great birria and fish tacos. , Fabulous service. , Texture of the cauliflower ceviche was spot on.
Cons: Avoid kid nachos, they’re just chips with cheese

Best vegan brunch in SD - Edit
I meant to write this review 6 days ago when they first started serving brunch here in San Diego because, I want everyone to know how good their food is, but at the same time I wish this would remain a secret so it’s always easy to get a table. 😆 Anyway, like I said, hands down, they have the best brunch in SD. Their menu has many great options, it’s hard to choose one. We went there two days in a row, that’s how good it is. We tried the huevos ahogados with a side of bacon, the just omelette and the pancakes… OMG, they are the best vegan pancakes I’ve ever had. For the eggs they use just egg and trust me when I say you’ve never tried vegan eggs that are as great-tasting like these. Their salsas are authentic Mexican salsas, so flavorful!
Read moreI can’t wait to go back this weekend!
I almost forgot, I also went there a third day, for tacos but, I wasn’t too impressed, as they didn’t taste like authentic Mexican tacos, not as I expected, for instance; al pastor tacos don’t have cheese or cream. Next time I’ll ask to have them without that, I am sure I will like them a lot better.
Pros: AC, Friendly staff, Many great options to choose from

Real Mexican flavors, creative, tasty food - Edit
Ordered a bunch of different things
Read moreMexican corn and cauliflower ceviche as appetizers, taco plate of plantain w/mole, barbacoa and al pastor and mango margarita! All really really amazing!! But the cauliflower ceviche was sooo creative, mind blown!
And barbacoa made of jackfruit was so well seasoned, took me back 10 years in time (before I went vegan and lived in Mex), it tasted exactly like the real deal, without the meat!!!!! Must try this place! Best new hot deal in town!!
Decoration and ambiance is super nice!!! And the ppl working here are the friendliest too
Also! Try ALL THEIR SALSAS!!!!!
Pros: Fully vegan food and drink menu, Very authentic Mexican dishes / flavors, Amazingly friendly service

Wonderful - Edit
The staff were so sweet and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food was IMMACULATE, and the Birria tacos are a MUST. The horchata was delicious also. There is also a cute little area with water bottles, shirts and toys for sale that make great little gifts or souvenirs. Hopefully they open a location in Los Angeles, because I'd be there every week 😂

Good - Edit
Tacotarian just on 30th off El Cajon Blvd just recently opened. This is the 3rd vegan restaurant at this location in roughly 3 years. Service is cafe style where you order & pay before you find your table. With one person taking orders the process was slow. My Margarita was served in single use plastic, when I asked why my drink was not in a glass I was told that they do not have the right size glasses!!! Food was good but not great.
Read morePros: Lots on the menu , Decor is appealing , Food was delivered quickly
Cons: Margarita in single use plastic so not cool. , Food was good but not great , Ordering food was slow as only one person taking
