Great option in a non-vegan friendly town - Edit
I love that this is an option we can depend on when passing through Oakdale. They have a vegan section on the menu with a variety of options that include vegan cheese. Enjoy a fountain drink or michelada with your meal. Must try!

This place is fantastic! - Edit
My friend and I were returning from a wedding in Yosemite and when I leave there, I always try to eat MX food in Oakdale. This time I couldn't remember which restaurant I liked so we stopped where I usually do and the restaurant no longer looked familiar. It was hot, we were hungry! We got back in the car and drove further and saw Cocina Michoacana. When we went in and looked at the menu, we were delighted to be able to ask for a VEGAN menu. What???!
Read moreThe separate menu was extensive, the food "normalized" Mexican food. Vegan everything! And it was delicious! Even though we were there on an off hour we had great service. We left there so happy and full and energized for the rest of the drive home. Thank you Cocina Michoacana!
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Conscientious of vegan sensibilities and helpful, Delicious food
Cons: It's far from where I live

Entire Separate Vegan Menu!! - Edit
They have a special vegan menu with ample options. I’ve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in my life, but this is the first time I’ve been to one with an actual vegan menu. They even offer vegan cheese and sour cream! I’m so impressed! It is so hard to choose one dish. I absolutely love their refried beans! I could just eat a whole bowl of those alone. 10/10 if you like Mexican food, don’t miss this place.
Read morePros: Lots of delicious vegan and veggie options, Perfect place to eat with a mixed diet crowd, Inexpensive compared to other restaurants
Cons: They aren’t in my town.

good veg. tamales - Edit
I got the Dos Tamales meal with vegan refried beans (& cheeze,) rice, and vegan sour cream. The red sauce was great! Nice people they were accommodating to vegans (& even made a teeny burrito for my niece!) Would go back to try sopas, torta, or tacos.

Full vegan Mexican menu - delicious! - Edit
Awesome to find a Mexican spot in Oakdale with a full vegan menu! Everything was delicious - will definitely be back on our next SF-Yosemite journey or whenever we can. (I’d give it 5 stars, but the app limits ratings to 4 stars unless a place is fully vegan.) Thanks, Cocina Michoacana!

So thankful for this restaurant to provide vegans with their own menu to select from. Great stop on your way to Yosemite or if you live around. The food had great taste and we had lovely service! We will be back.😊

Seperate vegan menu with a lot of options. The tamales are delicious with the salsa verde and added vegan sour cream. Friendly service. Food does take a while to come out but worth the wait. Will definitely go again.

So yummy and so friendly! - Edit
I was so excited to try this place out for their separate vegan menu. It did not disappoint. I can never eat the rice at most Mexican restaurants as it is always made with chicken broth. But I could eat it here. Yay! Definitely going to come back.

Vegan Menu - Edit
Came across this restaurant while on the long drive back home to the Bay from the Eastern side of the Sierras, hoping to find some food before hitting traffic. This cute restaurant hit the spot! And they have a vegan menu! Dining is available inside and out. The bean dip is fantastic, and they even have a vegan Michelada! Will definitely stop again the next time we are coming through here.

Great find in Oakdale! - Edit
Service was fast and friendly, tasty food. They have a vegan menu with many dishes, even vegan cheese and sour cream. The owner's daughter, according to our server, is vegan and convinced her dad to include a separate vegan menu. They can also veganize most of the other dishes from the main menu. Our server knew right away what sauces and ingredients were vegan, obviously knowing when "vegan" means. I'll go back again next time I'm passing through. Who woulda thunk a vegan menu in a cowboy town?

Separate vegan menu! - Edit
Didn't expect to find such a vegan friendly gem in such a small place! Great selection. I had the fajitas which was a large enough portion for two dinners. Drinks selection is nice too (if you're into the sugary type). Very yummy. My vegetarian friend wasn't very thrilled with the tamales though.
Read moreLovely atmosphere too, with decorations, Latino music and a back garden.

Amazing vegan options! - Edit
My server suggested the vegan menu after I tried to order tostadas without dairy and meat–I was thrilled! So many great options to choose from; I ended up getting the tamales which were excellent. The fact that I could get vegan cheese on the side made it even better. Very pleasantly surprised. Love this place!
