Best vegan enchiladas

These are the best vegan enchiladas I’ve ever had. The spicy cauliflower tacos are also really good.

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: Not the greatest attitude by one of the cashiers.

Disappointed

Walked in with high expectations of eating vegan. Spoke to the cashier and asked about cross contamination. She said that the fried food is all in one frier. Then she said that vegans don't care about cross contamination. Between there foods and from what I gathered they most likely don't switch their gloves after touching meets either. This place is vegetarian as best but not vegan.

Pros: No pros to me.

Cons: Improper advertisements

Changed ingredients

Its extremely disappointing. I used to love their previous meat crumble, it held onto flavor so well. The new vegan meat option is bland.

Pros: Vegan menu

Cons: Changed ingredients

An impressive list of vegan options.

The vegan tamale was especially good, but I also tried the vegan combo plate.

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Higher price, but that seems to be the times

Awesome food

Vegan tacos, tamales, enchiladas, burritos, quesadilla, taco salads, breakfast bowls and breakfast burritos. Great food, great prices, friendly service. They have a vegan food sign on their front door and a Happy Cow sticker in the middle of the glass where you order.

Pros: Tons of options, Dedicated menu and monitor, Great prices and fast service

Cons: Cruelty options

Amazing Vegan Options

This is truly a hidden gem to most vegans. I tried this place a few months back and I haven’t slowed down eating the tacos and nachos since. The sauces are amazing great as well. This place is a must try and you won’t be disappointed. Only thing I wish they had were pickled jalapeño but I add them at home.

Pros: Plenty of Vegan options, Affordable , Awesome customer service

Separate vegan menu

I’ve been here a few times now, and am really fond of their vegan breakfast burrito. I like that they have a separate vegan menu too- food is really good!

Super good local spot

I love going to Cruz Tacos whenever I want some quick Mexican food. Everything on their vegan menu is really tasty and super affordable! The owners and staff their are all very friendly and they always warn me that fried items are done in a shared fryer. Definitely try the avocado salsa with whatever you get!

Pros: Good sized separate fully vegan menu, Super affordable

Cons: Shared fryer for some items (if that bothers you)

Vegan burrito and quesadilla

Great vegan food, they have a separate vegan menu. They're salsas were very delicious and spicy, they also have mild salsa. I had the vegan quesadilla, it was delicious, it had veggies, like nopales, zucchini and onions, great flavors. My husband had the vegan burrito, he finished before I could even try it, very good sign. Definitely will come back

Pros: There is a lot of options to pick from

Cons: Not expensive, average cost

Large vegan menu

Cruz Tacos is my go-to for quick Mexican food. They are family owned and I really like the vibe when I walk in. I was told that the horchata contains dairy, but the other beverages(jamaica, pina, sodas and teas) are all vegan. The kitchen doesn’t have a dedicated vegan fryer so avoid the chips and fried items. My favorite is the vegan burrito, this contains an abundance of veggies, rice and beans as well as vegan beef. It is equally delicious without the vegan beef (my preference is to avoid that sort of stuff). I love the salsa bar with pickled carrots!
