Simple - Edit
I got 3 sweet potato hash tacos and the pesto rice, fulfilling to me, cannot complain. Seemed to cater well to my gluten free friend (I’ll change this if I receive updates later). I will say- the electric ordering they had made it awkward as options like the 3/trio tacos wouldn’t show when trying to order- so it would’ve just been nice to have a person/cashier who can take in everything and make it run smoothly so that lines don’t ramp up. Not a lot of options, but I did enjoy what I got so I’ll give props wear it’s due.

Didn’t blow my hair back - Edit
We were recommended this place so we gave it a try. We found it underwhelming.
Read moreSmall portions, big prices for what you get and neither of us enjoyed our meal. We both had 3 types of tacos and didn’t enjoy them. Not much flavour, not filling at all.
Pros: Good location, Cute interior
Cons: Price, Portions, Flavour less.

Underwhelming - Edit
I was underwhelmed by my order at Chaia. I ordered 3 tacos and nachos. I ordered the braised mushroom, creamy kale & potato, and the chipotle sweet potato hash. I liked the sweet potato hash the most. The nachos were ok but nothing I would write home about.

Be careful when you order vegan, they need to do a better job on the mods - Edit
Food was good, but 2 of 3 dishes came with cheese even after asking them to be vegan

They actually use a vegan cheese, my sister and I thought the same thing but it's still vegan! I hope this helps! :)

Good tacos. - Edit
The tacos are unique and some can be made vegan upon request. My favorite was the rainbow carrot and pea shoot, because it was texturally unique. The corn tortillas were delicious. If you’re really hungry, the taco trio may not fill you up, fair warning. The tacos are small but tasty. Free water was a nice touch.

A real gem!! - Edit
I really thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant more than I expected to. The dishes (all except one can be vegan) are so impressive. The tacos are simple with only 2 or 3 ingredients and so flavorful. This is probably the first time ever I sat down for Mexican style food and didn’t ask for hot sauce because the food was that good. The quesadilla was a bit too greasy for me, but whenever I go back I’d probably just order tacos.

Delicious Tacos! - Edit
Copious vegan options at this vegetarian fast-casual restaurant. Fast service and delicious fare. No outdoor seating but there is a park right next door with tables and shade, along the canal. Or you can walk down to the riverfront for a beautiful view of the Kennedy Center, Roosevelt Island and Key Bridge.

Vegan tacos!!! - Edit
I tried the taco trio- charred green bean, rainbow carrot and pea shoot, chipotle sweet potato hash. All of them were delicious, I think favorite was the green bean taco! Not every taco can be made vegan but most can. Other options are available including enchiladas and quesadillas. Also, do yourself a service and try one of the cinnamon coconut cookies. You don’t taste any coconut if you’re concerned about that, sooooo yummy!!!!
Read morePros: All vegetarian- most dishes can be made vegan, Cheap tacos , Yummy dessert

Best vegetarian taco in DC, but not much competition - Edit
Need to customize the tacos to make them vegan. For bigger or more active people, I think 3 tacos there is more like a low-protein snack than a complete meal, and it's quite expensive for that. The tacos themselves tasted pretty great. I'd go back, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
Read morePros: Can customize most to vegan, tasty
Cons: Pricey for quantity, low protein

Good enchiladas - Edit
Lots of vegan options if you ask for vegan cheese. We tried enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos. Quesadillas were by far the best. Tacos were good but lacked in flavour a little. Very cute indoor eating area, especially upstairs

Beyond overrated - Edit
I was excited to try this place, then dissapointed and surprised that it was mentioned in so many "best vegan" type blog reviews. The service was great and the restaurant/location was cute, but the tacos were mediocre at best. I got the trio and tried 3 of the 4 different vegan taco options. I have to say- I've had a TON of tacos in my life, and it's pretty hard to mess up a taco in my eyes, but the vegan versions were just uninteresting. Plus they all fell apart almost instantly. There are better places that are more creative in the city!

Even less vegan than I remember - Edit
None of the options are vegan as priced, so I’m paying for cheese and crema that I’m not eating that they can’t sub for. All vegetarian, but for a vegan, kind of disappointing.
Read morePros: Helpful staff, Nice quality vegetables, nothing overcooked, Staff know what a vegan is
Cons: Nothing on the menu is actually vegan, No vegan cheese or crema to sub at this location

Interesting eating experience - Edit
As a vegan I asked for modifications to the Tacos I ordered - had the mushroom and asparagus ones (no cheese) and some black beans on the side with tortilla chips. It was interesting but the mushroom combination definitely worked better than the asparagus. The beans were good but very salty. Great Elderberry Kombucha though!
Read morePros: Nearly everything can be made vegan, Interesting food and flavour combinations , Reasonably priced
Cons: Some combos are hard to eat , Not all combos are successful , Would be good if they offered vegan cheese

Great food and drinks! - Edit
Nearly everything can be done vegan. I had the choose your own 3 tacos and can’t stop thinking about them. A delightful mushroom taco, sweet potatoes, and a smoky collard greens. I also got a great cocktail that was just my speed - and a decent price too.

Tasty, Quick Meal - Edit
I ordered three tacos at this conveniently located order-at-counter restaurant in Georgetown.
Read moreThe tacos were made really quickly, and they were very flavorful.
All of the tacos can be made vegan, so let them know ahead of time.
I felt the taco tortillas could have been made a bit thinner so that they do not crumble when eating the tacos.
Pros: all taco can be made vegan, delicious tacos
Cons: tortillas could be thinner to avoid crumbling

Maybe if vegetarian, not worth for vegan - Edit
While they can make most tacos vegan, they do not provide substitutions to non-vegan items and the vegan experience is not worth the price tag. You’re better off eating at chiptole
Read morePros: Relatively cheap
Cons: Lacking in real vegan options, No alternative is provided for non-vegan items, Chipotle is more filling
