Delicious!

Oh my gosh I would eat here every day if I could. My sister and I split 2 different types of tacos and also got adobada fries. We both absolutely loved it. They have so many options! This is an absolute gem. It’s so hard to find vegan Mexican food at all, let alone in Iowa!

Pros: Variety, Taste, Price

Wasn’t sure what to expect at first but this place does not disappoint. Be sure to try the hot salsas if that’s your thing. It’s really good.

Pros: Affordable price

Any Mexican item can be made vegan. They have a separate vegan menu too.

Not appetizing

I took pictures of the food for the purpose of posting here but I couldn’t even look at them without feeling sick. I got a bunch of foods on the menu to try out and I was just disappointed:( the reviews are all so good, but I didn’t experience this sadly.

Fantastic food, diverse vegan menu and great service!

The title says it all; El Michoacano’s menu featured fantastic vegan renditions of classic Mexican dishes - packed with authentic flavor - made with passion and a love for quality cuisine.

If you’re tired of poor quality Mexican food, struggling to find vegan Mexican food options (or both), you MUST come and try this restaurant.

Simply amazing. Bravo.

Pros: Numerous vegan options , Friendly staff , Affordable

Cons: None!

I wish I had known about this place sooner! Because they are mainly nonvegan it means it is a place where my whole family can eat happily. They offer a vegan form of pretty much everything, and I love it! The burritos are my favorite. But I also like the flautas and the tacos are great for a lighter option.

Pros: Good value, Large portions, So many options

Extensive Menu of Authentic Mexican Foods

The entire menu can be made vegan, which is greatly appreciated, and vegan ice cream is offered as well. The family staff are always very friendly and helpful, the service is always prompt, and the food is always filling and well-made. Overall the food tends towards mild, but salsas are available for those who want spice. The only consistent annoyance is that I lose cell phone signal in the building, but there's nothing wrong with appreciating a good meal without distraction.

Pros: Extensive Selection, Family Owned, Quality Food and Service

Cons: Small parking lot, Very mild seasoning

Vegan menu to take home

The staff was great! Very helpful, allowed me to bring in my own reusable cup for water, and they have an entirely separate vegan menu available that you can take home. It's basically the normal menu but with vegan meat and cheese substitutes. Pretty tasty, though!

Taste good but not healthy at all

There were a lot of options. We are more of a whole foods plant based focused eaters. But it was delicious at first before our bodies began to reject it. I’d rather eat chipotle.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Mucus and phlegm after from gf and I

If you are missing authentic mexican food, come here now!

This place has the best food ever.

EVER.

I ordered the vegan tacos with fries on the side. The "meat" on the tacos are a soy alternative and they are marinated to perfection. You can get anything with the meat, so if you want nachoes or burrito or anything else on the menu they are very open to making anything veganize.

Also they always have at least two vegan ice creams or flavored ice as well.

Pros: Tacos
