Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! - Edit
Simply put, this is the best vegan Mexican food in the Sacramento area.
Read moreI've tried most things on the menu and while all delicious, I am a huge fan of their tacos and keep coming back for more.
Yes, it's on the pricey side. Yes, it's tucked back in the corner of a strip mall in Rosemont. But when you have those tacos you'll forget all about that.
Pro tip: You can mix and match the "crunchy tacos" if you can't decide on just one filling.

I’ve never tried the tacos because I’m so obsessed with other things there lol. I’ll have to try the tacos one day though.

So many options! - Edit
I’ve gone here a few times and really enjoyed the food. The “carne asada” is probably my favorite option. The birria burrito was fantastic. I wasn’t so impressed with the fish burrito. If you’re looking for something savory and filling, the birria tacos or burritos are my recommendation!

Great As Ever - Edit
We are very familiar with their location in Monterey and recently got the opportunity to try their Sacramento location. Delicious as expected! We arrived fairly soon after opening and we're greeted by friendly staff. Our food came out quickly and was as tasty as the Monterey location. It's really wonderful to finally have a vegan Mexican restaurant within regular reach! No complaints!
Read morePros: Food quality and flavor is excellent, Size/cleanliness of the restaurant is excellen, Menu has lots of choices

Best all vegan Mexican ever! - Edit
If y'all haven't been here yet, run! Don't walk-like legit run yo ass over there! This is the sister location of the famous South Bay based restaurant. They need and deserve all the support they can get. All vegan! A few GF items available. A large variety of super delicious Mexican-American traditional food veganized! They have mock meats, sub cheezes, jackfruit, and maybe some day they'll use hearts of palm. Customer service is friendly, helpful and they are humbled by compliments. All they need is more decorations on the walls in the dining area like they do in the hallway, and some traditional Mexican music (I was hoping for the full taqueria vibe) and they'll be all set! Hope they stay open’
Read morePros: Variety on the menu, So delicious!, All vegan!!!!
Cons: Lacks the taqueria feel, Some complain @ hours but I respect all religion…, …even though I am not religious myself

Excellent Mexican food! - Edit
This was my first time here and my first impression was a good one. First off, they were playing a Christian radio station. Being a Christian myself, I very much appreciated that. Secondly, there were a ton ton ton of options. I ordered the nachos as they are one of my favorite things to eat. They were about $15 and the serving size was way more than generous. I didn't end up eating dinner that night because it filled me up so much. They give you free chips and salsa too and the salsa had just the right spiciness. I will be coming back to try the tortas as the kind server suggested I try.
Read moreI went here a second time and got the Jazz Fish Burrito. It was very spicy with the jalapeños and the hot salsa but very flavorful. It was a massive burrito too. I wanted to try the Fried Plantains for dessert but was just too full... Maybe next time. It was about $15 and well worth the cost.
Third time here and I got the Crispy Potato Tacos with a side of Pinto Beans that it came with. Super good and super filling. The tacos had some kind of faux sour cream that made the tacos even better. Go to this place if you haven't been. So far everything has been good.
Fourth time here and this place does not disappoint. I got the quesabirria burrito and it came with a side of consomme which I guess is similar to a dipping sauce/soup. Get ready for some spice with this one. It's pretty hot/spicy... But in a good way. Super tasty and I would highly recommend if you like spicy food. Oh yeah, I got the delicious Horchata again too. A little pricey for the Horchata (like $7) but it's worth it if you love Horchata.
This time I got the BBQ Chik'n burrito with a spinach tortilla. It had pineapple and some kind of BBQ sauce that was a bit too spicy and a bit off on the flavor for me. This one didn't hit the mark for me but that may be just my preference. It had a lot of flavor but I thought it was just ok... A little too spicy.
One of the waitresses suggested the torta as one of her favorites so I decided to try it this time. I was not disappointed. It was just a tad spicy but not that bad. The bread was soft and outstanding. Overall, one of my favorite (there's going to be lots here) things here. Of course, I had to get the Horchata again because I am a big fan!

Pros: Lots of options, Serving size was more than good enough, Christian music playing

Vegan Mexican combo meals! - Edit
This place is even better than the Monterey one! The black beans are creamier and richer, and the small side salad has fresher produce and tastier dressing. Otherwise, the rest of the food is just as amazing as the Monterey restaurant. I’ve tried the Large Chili Relleno plate at both locations- love everything about it. This time I also ordered a Nopal burrito to go- wow! So delicious in every way- creamy rice and beans, tasty grilled and spiced nopalitos. This place sends my taste buds to heaven and is a vegan dream restaurant.

So happy for a second location… This is my favorite vegan restaurant - Edit
Just had an incredible dining experience at El Cantaro Vegan Taqueria in Sacramento! As a longtime fan of their sister restaurant in Monterey, I was thrilled to try out their new location, and it did not disappoint.
Read moreThe first thing that caught my attention was the spacious dining area. Compared to the Monterey spot, this one had a much larger space, making it perfect for a comfortable and enjoyable meal.
Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered my all-time favorite, the Authentic Mole Negro, from their traditional plates menu. The flavors were on point, just like I remember from the Monterey location. The rich and complex taste of the mole sauce was a delight to my taste buds.
In addition to that, we also tried their three enchilada plate with green sauce. The enchiladas were filled with delicious ingredients and smothered in a flavorful green sauce. Each bite was a burst of amazing flavors that left me craving for more.
I can't express how delighted I am that El Cantaro Vegan Taqueria now has two locations, one in Monterey and the other in Sacramento. If you're a fan of vegan cuisine or simply looking for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend giving this place a visit. You won't be disappointed!
Pros: Great Dinning Area with lots of parking , Incredible Flavors, not too spicy , Try the mole!
Cons: I have nothing to complain about

Spicy - Edit
It's been a long time since I've had real Mexican food, so much so that I forgot how spicy it is. Real genuine flavors. Such a blessing, thank you.

Worth a 2 hr drive... FOR SURE - Edit
It's fascinating to see more and more vegan restaurants popping up, especially when they are as incredibly good as this! Each of our plates were submerged in savory flavor. The menu is inexplicably FULLY VEGAN, but it sure can fool any meat-eater. Typical Mexican food without the torture and suffering to animals, that leave your mouth longing for more 🤤

great food, great portions - Edit
I got the nachos and really enjoyed it, portion sizes were large to the point that by the time I finished, the beans started to get cold! The food was amazing and I especially loved the (vegan) creme sauce and guac.

Best vegan Mexican restaurant I've been to - Edit
I'm so happy they opened another location. When I used to live in the Bay I would drive to Monterey just to go to their location there. Even though I live in Reno now I will gladly drive the 2 1/2 hours to go to this location. I'm never disappointed wherever I've eaten here and I tell everyone about it. I can't wait to try the whole menu.
