Great food for the price

The food options were clearly marked and the staff were kind and supportive to make sure I got exactly what I wanted! The vegan chef tacos I ate were filling and satiating. My partner is not veg and the options for her satisfied!

Pros: Customer service was amazing, Food was served fresh, Everything tasted amazing

Bland food

Both my non-vegan and vegan friends found the food to be really bland and uninteresting.

Lots of Vegan options

Cute Mexican with plenty of vegan options clearly marked on the menu.
They introduced new taco items for the 2023 Vegan Chef Challenge and those are staying on the menu.
Oyster mushrooms and Cauliflower tacos are delicious. Coconut tofu is yummy.
There are burritos and salads I have yet to try, so I know I’ll go back.
Staff knowledgeable so let them know dietary preferences. Owner is very pro Vegan and does her best to see everyone has something good to eat.
Great little place with nice atmosphere.

Pros: Lots of choices , Knowledgeable staff, Great atmosphere

Cons: Serves meat

Vegan Coconut Tofu is Amazing!

My daughter and I tried this restaurant during the 2023 Reno Vegan Chef Challenge! Mexican food is always tricky for vegans as lard and chicken broth can be commonly used in rice and beans and sometimes even tortilla chips. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they already had a lot of additional vegan items on the menu too. The Coconut Crunchy Tofu was AMAZING - crispy on the outside and very light and fluffy on the inside and the dipping sauce was really yummy too. I also enjoyed the Baja Cauli Taco and found it really tasty - even my daughter who does not normally like cauliflower liked this dish. I've heard all of these new items are staying on the menu permanently, so I plan to go back and try some different vegan options next time I'm in that part of town.

As advertised but not the most complex

I ordered the vegan enchiladas, which are black bean and sweet potato in red enchilada sauce and Spanish rice on the side. There weren’t very complex spicing and flavors here, basically the components were cooked and baked and that’s that, whereas I prefer to have more seasoning in my food. The Spanish rice had a kind of sweet aftertaste that I haven’t encountered before in Spanish rice and was kind of plump. It’s not the Spanish rice you’ll typically get from an authentic Mexican place.

I’ll give them a shot again but I would not reorder the enchiladas, maybe I’d try what the other reviews recommend. So in summary: a bit bland and not what I hoped, but still a decent vegan meal I didn’t have to cook myself and we all know how nice that can be 👍

Thank you! Our Mexican rice is vegan and made in house with long grain white rice, veggie broth and spices.

Crispy Coconut Tofu Taco

The crispy coconut tofu taco was pretty tasty overall. Coconut gave it some sweetness. HUGE tofu pieces.
The spicy tofu was lacking. Pretty bland. Not spicy at all. I would eat the crispy coconut again if I had to though.

Pros: Vegan options, HUGE tofu pieces

Cons: Spicy tofu was bland

Thank you for your review. We’ve added a vegan chipotle crema that is a flavorful substitution on the spice rubbed tofu taco or burrito.

Decent Mexican spot with vegetarian and vegan options

I used to go to this place a long time ago before I was vegan. Since breaking free from my upbringing and becoming vegan a year ago I've noticed not too many places in Reno were vegan friendly. Recently, I looked at Buenos' menu again and they had added multiple vegan and vegetarian options for both lunch/dinner and breakfast! I tried the spiced tofu burrito and the veggie burrito. The veggies were great, it's got fajita style mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and eggplant. The staff even asked when I called to order if I wanted it vegan meaning no cream sauce or butter used to cook anything. For a place that isn't (and wasn't in the past) vegan focused, they do a good job and food tastes great. Hope to see them continue to move in the right direction and move towards a full vegan menu someday. Recommend trying it out.

Pros: Good options for both breakfast and lunch/dinner, Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Cons: Not fully vegan but moving in the right direction
