Good, but don’t need to go back - Edit
The food was okay. Lots of vegan options. The vibe was super dead, no one greeted us or was available to answer questions about the menu (ordered from an iPad). Enchilada was fine - not the best I’ve ever had. Tacos were decent. My margarita was not good. Very syrupy.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Nice looking space , Tacos
Cons: Unfriendly , Hard to tell what’s vegan at first.

Braised Mushroom Tacos! - Edit
Ordered: Vegan Braised Mushroom Taco and iced hibiscus tea.
Read moreThis was a premeal snack and oh boy I almost had to get more it was so good. The braised mushrooms were super flavorful and the corn tortillas were delicious and a good thickness. If you’re going for a meal I would recommend getting 3 tacos. The hibiscus tea was also the perfect level of sweet and tangy. Would come back for sure to try more on the menu!

Great food, a little pricy - Edit
The food is great, but the portion sizes are small and you need to order a couple of items to get a real meal. A little pricy for what you get.

Love it! - Edit
I tried the vegan black bean enchiladas which were great. My non-vegan friends recommended this spot to me, and we all went together. Love that they have options for everyone!

Many vegan options available. Mushroom Quesadillas were small but delicious. Sweet potato nachos had a vegan option and very tasty with the pickle onions on top.

Unique tacos - Edit
Loved the options on the menu as most options can be veganized. However, they messed up our order by giving us dairy cheese on one taco and no cheese on the other. The food was just ok. The tacos themselves are very good but the filling and sauces were ok and the 3 tacos option is not filling. Maybe adding some vegan protein would have made them more filling. Overall preferred the enchiladas to the tacos.
Read morePros: Unique taco flavors. Tacos themselves are good., Most options can be veganized
Cons: Need to add more protein option to tacos, Tacos can be more flavorful , A bit pricey as you need to order multiple items

Pretty good all veggie tacos - Edit
Everything here is vegetarian, and many items can be made vegan. The sweet potato taco and the mushroom taco were underwhelming; but the collard green taco, the beet taco, and the potato kale were pretty good. The sweet potato nachos were also yummy with creamy black beans and cilantro sauce. They change some tacos seasonally.

Delicious, unique, and affordable! - Edit
Pretty much everything (except for 2 tacos) can be made vegan upon request. Vegan cheese can be added for no additional cost. I tried 3 tacos - the braised mushroom and chipotle sweet potato hash were out of this world, but I probably wouldn’t get the green bean taco next time (just a bit of an odd combo). Draft margaritas are quite good and very affordable ($8 regularly and $6 during happy hour) and they don’t skimp on the alcohol. Highly recommend their canetas (which are vegan). Will definitely be returning!

Great vegan nachos! - Edit
The nachos are a meal onto themselves! Ask for vegan cheese in the modifications, and enjoy the crisp chips and great toppings.
Read moreWe also had a few tacos and the vegan black bean enchiladas. Very filling overall.

Enchiladas! - Edit
Ate here with a friend last week and was so pleasantly surprised to see they offered a vegan enchilada option! They were so good. I will definitely be back to try vegan-izing some of their tacos in the future. My boyfriend isn’t vegan and really liked his vegetarian tacos. Really like the decor and vibe of the restaurant as well, it’s more casual and there is a self checkout kiosk where you place your order.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Good vibe

Incredibly unique and flavorful - Edit
I was extremely impressed with the selection here. Everything is vegetarian but almost all can be made vegan. You can add Daiya cheese to these items or forgo the cheese completely. I chose to avoid Daiya as I’m not a fan and everything was amazing! Tasted so fresh and flavorful.
Read moreHonestly I don’t know why they just don’t make the jump and go all vegan- That is my only complaint!

Fresh and delicious! - Edit
I would highly recommend. We each had 3 tacos and shared a carrot salad for around $30. Fresh corn taco was sweet and tasty. Loved the grilled eggplant and mushroom ones, too. Everything easily made vegan. A/c was delightfully cool and bathrooms were very clean. Restaurant uses reusable or compostible materials.

Veg tacos in downtown DC - Edit
This place is wonderful and fresh, modern and delicious. The space is open and beautiful. The menu is entirely vegetarian. The food is based on tacos - so, why not go here?
Read moreThere are about half a dozen choices each day, and usually all but one of them can be veganized. The menu even says so. There are mushroom tacos, and collard greens, and asparagus and rainbow carrots. There are also sides like rice and salad and beans. There are a couple cookies for dessert. Many choices of beverages like teas, wines, beers, and other herbal drinks.
The tacos are homemade tortilla-based with so many fresh veggies inside. It's so good!
It seems a little pricy for tacos, but it's so good! Support this place so it stays open. Really great space to sit and have a meal.
Pros: 100% veg, Fresh tortillas, Ambiance/ space
Cons: Not 100% vegan
