Best vegan option in the area

They don't have lard in the beans. Great tacos. Friendly service.

Fyi: the fancy taco place across the parking lot has lard in beans and chicken broth in the rice.

Cons: Not fancy

Yes to this.

The vegan rice bowl is perfection and also gluten free. Add some spicy cabbage if you like your eyeballs to sweat. As luck would have it the singing chef was in the kitchen. All in a all a delightful and delicious experience.

Great Burrito

This restaurant had a few vegan options. They have a burrito, tacos or rice bowl that are all vegan. The pico de Gallo is yummy. Reasonably priced.

Pros: Rice is vegan and delicious, Great salsa bar, Happy to have a Mexican food option

Mexican Food with Vegan options!

I've been going to California Tacos since they opened in Solvang, I think about 4 or 5 years ago. Since I became vegan I stopped going. On a whim, I called them yesterday to see if they have any vegan options - I was shocked when they explained that they have a vegan burrito, a vegan taco and a vegan bowl. I thought they must have not heard me correctly so I clarified and asked if their beans and rice have any chicken broth or animal products and they confirmed that they don't! I went right over and saw on their new menu that they had listed proudly three vegan options - a burrito, a taco and a bowl. I couldn't believe it! I ordered their burrito and added guac. The gal at the registered also pointed out to me (without me asking) which two salsas have sour cream, and therefore not vegan (there are signs clearly marking which ones have source cream). I was a little bummed because one of them used to be my favorite salsa but they have at least 4 other salsas that are vegan and are also really good. Since they have vegan beans and vegan rice they can make many other items on their menu vegan as well. Also reasonably priced. I am sooooo happy to have delicious Mexican food in Solvang!

Pros: Vegan beans and vegan rice!, Salsa bar, Order up front then seat yourself

Cons: Limited seating, Parking is sometimes congested, Sometimes crowded at lunch (high school close by)
