Great options, wonderful flavors - Edit
They have a vegan menu. 3 kinds of tacos, a burrito bowl, and a couple of other options. Very good! The person I went with had a meat dish. I had the burrito bowl. We both LOVED our meals.

They have a “vegan menu,” but it’s really a vegetarian menu. I got the avocado salad which was good because I could tell what was in it. Didn’t try the other food.

False advertisement - Edit
They don’t know what vegan means. The “vegan” menu has items with cheese and sour cream. So you can’t just go with it. You must specify. Meals come out looking nothing like the picture.

Several Good Vegan Options - Edit
Authentic Mexican food with a separate vegan menu. The vegan menu has 6 or 7 options. I had the burrito bowl, which had black beans, corn, rice, salsa and avocado on a bed of greens. It was tasty, filling, and reasonably priced.

Cons: Not everything on the "vegan menu" is vegan; some , items have cheese.

Beach Mexican Vegan - Edit
I took them at their word about being vegan the first couple of times I ate here but I think the other reviewers might be right about lard in beans and tortillas and I seriously doubt cheese/queso is vegan. I never ordered the Quesadilla or Enchiladas which have cheese. I also am very familiar with food business, I’m in it, and understand human nature since I’m entering codger-hood at this point. The waitress just told me, en Español, that the black beans and flour tortillas don’t have lard so now I don’t know what to think. I originally rated it 4 but I am knocking it down to 3 unless I find out otherwise. Here is my original review “I was thrilled to find this place after "making do" at a weekend project with a bunch of non-vegans. Good with lots of options, quick and affordable. Yay. This is my new "Go-to" on the island.”
Read morePros: If the food’s actually vegan it is decent Tex-Mex, Great prices
Cons: Could be false advertising. I’m not sure. , Read other reviews and decide for yourself., I’d guess their vegan queso is dubious.

Still Not Vegan! - Edit
When they first put out a “vegan” menu over a year ago, several of my friends checked out the place only to find out the menu wasn’t vegan at all. One of my friends even made attempts to meet with upper management to explain veganism and show them ways to veganize items they hadn’t even considered - such as beans and tortillas. She was stood up both scheduled meetings...
Read moreSo, we all shared that information on social media to local vegan Facebook groups and didn’t give them our business. Now, I see they’re here on Happy Cow and they’ve updated their “vegan” menu and it STILL isn’t vegan?!?
Do not trust this establishment. Last I checked, they used lard in their tortillas and beans. They think vegetarian is the same as vegan and have ignored polite attempts to educate. They can’t even get their vegan menu correct, do not expect them to get your actual order free of animal cruelty.
Cons: Not vegan, Uneducated staff

Vegan menu NOT ALL VEGAN - Edit
The vegan menu should really be called vegetarian menu. The cheese is cow cheese and the sour cream is dairy sour cream. Otherwise this was a good option, if not a little bland.
Read morePros: They’re trying
Cons: Vegan menu not vegan, Staff not super knowledgeable

No vegan cheese - Edit
I ate here and the waitress told me 3 times that the cheese in the quesadilla on the "vegan" menu was not a dairy cheese. But this was definitely a dairy cheese, as confirmed by another waitress later. Nice that they have a vegan menu, but when dairy cheese is on it I have to question everything else because they clearly don't know what vegan means. Worse still, the waitress wad completely clueless. The other items appeared vegan on the vegan menu but I still wonder if the rice was cooked in chicken broth...

They have a Vegan Menu! - Edit
I was super surprised to see a vegan menu. I ordered the chimichanga plate. Not going to lie, the picture on the menu verses what I received was a little different but no biggie on the small stuff. ( the portions of the sides was much smaller )
Read moreThe filling had a bit more mushrooms than I prefer, but all in all it's nice to see something other than a basic black bean heavy main dish lot of places offer.
All and all, I will be traveling back to Galveston to try out the rest of the vegan menu.
Pros: A full vegan menu!!!
Cons: Not much room for customization.

Unfortunately, they are not vegan. They do not understand what it means to be vegan :/ a friend of mine and activist from Webster came down to show them and they said they would be looking into changing things, hopefully they have! Be wary of what you eat from there as they use lard (this was October when they launched this) and the 'dairy' products in the pictures are, in fact, dairy. So, just be wary if you return! Also, I was the ambassador for Galveston before I moved ;)
