Great food - Edit
I enjoyed my chimichanga! The horchata was overly sweet as other reviews have noted, but I still enjoyed it. I ordered the cheesecake pancakes for dessert - supposed to have 5 things with it: cheesecake, caramel, strawberries, whip and tres leches sauce. Only the last one came with my pancakes - very disappointing and no effort made by the staff to communicate that to me. I sent them back as I didn’t think paying $11 was fair when most of the dish was missing. They were unable to provide the missing items. It was raining terribly, otherwise there is a lovely outdoor patio to enjoy. On my bill they added a “fee” - no clue what that was for.

The best Vegan Mexican of Houston - Edit
The most delicious vegan Mexican food ever! Their birria tacos and tortas are worth the drive. Staff is super friendly and there’s plenty of seating. I wish I could try everything on the menu.

I ordered here once a week through DoorDash. I haven’t ordered anything that wasn’t delicious. I love the crunch wrap, las tostadas, the Baja burrito, the mole enchiladas, and flautas are awesome. The pozole rojo y pozole verde are so tasty. I’ve gone in twice as well. Awesome vegan food!
Read morePros: Great tasting Mexican vegan food, The pozole is awesome, The Baja burrito is so good and filling

Amazing Mexican Food - Edit
This was our first tru Mexican vegan restaurant and we were not disappointed!!! Everything was delicious and had great flavor. We ordered the La Enchilada and Chili Relleno. Both dishes were fantastic. Very filling. For dessert we ordered the flan. Again, delicious. It was nice having f them to allow us to have our dog on the patio as well. I would highly recommend!

Genuine Mexican food - Edit
The food here is so good! Exactly how I remember enchiladas from before I was vegan. I didn't even know how much I'd been missing this. Also the flan is excellent

Almost great - Edit
-taste of cascabel - 9.4/10 excellent
Read more-tamale plate - 9/10 great
-horchata- 6.8/10 good, but too sweet
Great experience overall, but had to dock a star because my partner was super turned off by something, she said there was a strange chemically or plasticy taste in the cilantro rice. She said she smelled the same thing inside the restaurant. She said she likes cilantro and it was not just cilantro.

Great food! - Edit
I’ve eaten her a million times over the past few years and love it. I usually order their quesadilla with their different protein options. Non vegan family/friends love the food as well!

Uh-maze-ing! - Edit
We found this place by accident, and I’m so happy we did! The Birria tacos and taco platter were so good! I especially liked the homemade consommé that came with the birria tacos. The flan dessert was out of this world. We also had a drink call the Russo that was very refreshing and you can have it as a mocktail or with a shot of vodka. The queso con chile and guac with chips was a yummy start to the meal.

Unreal food - Edit
Ordered via delivery, I’ve never had this good a chimichanga. I cannot wait to visit the area again to go back.

I used to love this place - Edit
This used to be one of my favorite places in Houston but the food has gone down in quality. I’ve given this place numerous chances but the last three times the food comes out after a long time and it’s always cold. The rice is always very hard and the food is too salty. It used to be very good.

Vegan Mexican — loved it - Edit
We ordered a take out meal for dinner. Wish we could have eaten on their lovely outside deck. The menu was extensive and the staff showed us to a table and helped us with our choices. Many different choices—tamales, burritos, chimichangas etc. and about 10 or so kinds of “meat” to choose as fillings. We had the quesadilla as a platter (rice and beans) a la carte. It was delicious and quite a bit of food. Enjoyed it so much.

A must try for the Houston vegan scene! - Edit
These folks are making magic in the kitchen at Cascabel, so delicious and flavorful! Highly recommend the street taco sampler, it’s filling and you get to try so many wonderful flavors all at once! Also, the dirty horchata with coffee is the stuff of dreams!

Fantastic selection! - Edit
Great laid-back vibe, un-pretentious, and WOW their specialty "meat" selection! I got the taco platter with: bistec, baja, al pastor, tinga, and fajitas, and couldn't decide which one was my favorite because they were all amazing. My partner got the quesadilla poblana and we were enthralled with it as well. Big fan of this place and it'll be on our list to hit whenever we're back in Houston!

Favorite restaurant - Edit
Since I've stopped eating meat , I missed good Mexican food. Cascabel brought it back for me. I recommend it every single time someone asks me for good food. Everything you order comes perfectly seasoned and you can ask for extra hot salsa. 10/10.

An All-Vegan Mexican Restaurant? Yes, Thanks! - Edit
I ordered online, and was in the restaurant only long enough to get my bag of dinner, so I can't say much about the ambience or service. (TThough there is a large outdoor seating area, along with the inside space, and they were feeding a beautiful neighborhood cat out on the patio.) But I can attest that my dinner was wonderful! I got their special burrito that allows for a number of customizations; I was very happy with how mine came out, but I suspect many other combinations, and other dishes, would be just as pleasing. I look forward to your report when you go!
Read morePros: Tasty, Many options, Good-sized portions!
Cons: Not close enough to where I'm staying!
