Great Vegan Restaurant! - Edit
While some of the burritos were needing more flavor, overall this place is awesome! Their horchata is incredible. I love that it’s family owned. I wish they didn’t charge an extra $0.50 if you use a credit card to pay. Will definitely be going back!

I loved this place - Edit
The food was so great. This was the first place we came to on our vacation so I was a little skeptical. I got the carne asada burrito was so yummy. I wish I saw they offered wet burritos because that would take this from 8/10 to a 12/10 but I found out after the fact. The woman helping us went out of her way to get us the options we wanted and cater to my allergies. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese tasted a little different than we expected with a brewers yeast flavor instead of cheese but was still completely edible and the drinks tasted a little too watery. That being said it was all great and I look forward to trying them again!!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Tons of options , Lovely woman that helped us
Cons: The drinks tasted a little watered down, Mac and cheese

Post-Ski Delight - Edit
This is the only vegan restaurant near Lake Tahoe. After 4 days of skiing, this was the perfect feed. We had the burrito, tacos, chicken sandwich, Mac and cheese, and the cheesecake. The burrito had the “Al pastor meat” made with pineapple. Oh Lord. It was delicious. Cheesecake and kombucha were also excellent. Everything tasted light and fresh, love that about vegan food. We’ll definitely be back!
Read morePros: Fresh, Salsa is excellent

Taste profile 👍👍👍 - Edit
Really friendly staff where all the sauces, patty’s and proteins are house made. The burger looked basic but had great flavors. Bottom line - it’s the only 100% vegan restaurant in Reno so support them. Next time I’ll try the more traditional Mexican fare. I had their house burger and animal fries.
Read morePros: Vegan, Lots of choices, Friendly owner
Cons: Expensive for the portion size

Good food, sometimes gives me tummy aches - Edit
I loved that it was so quiet and calm in the restaurant and our server was very kind. I got one of their local kombuchas and was blown away by how good it was, it's the Folk Brewing kaffir coriander. The hibiscus tacos i got were fragrant and fresh, filling without being too much. We also got the al pastor sopes, they were good but a little too greasy for me. I think that whatever is in their cheese or just the overall greasiness hurts my tummy and causes problems sometimes. I've talked to other people about it and they've had that problem too😡

Best vegan restaurant in Reno - Edit
We’ve eaten here several times over the years since they first opened and it just keeps getting better. The dishes have gotten more flavorful, varied and interesting. Nopales are one of my favorite ingredients in Mexican food, and they offer them in almost every dish as an option. I just wish I could try one of their tamales some day, they seem to always be out.
Read morePros: All vegan options , Each dish is very customizable , Staff is great, a vegan family
Cons: Always out of tamales, More vegetables would be nice

Tex-Mex Comfort Food - Edit
Wow! House of Mexica is one top vegan joint that retains all the flavors of a Mexican restaurant - great for those that no longer eat animal products.
Read moreEverything on the menu here is vegan and included allergen information as well, which is perfect for all dietary preferences.
Our lunch consisted of their Carne Asada Nachos and the Crispy Chicken Burger. The nachos were fantastic with house made salsa, soy asada, and vegan cheese to top it all off. Their chicken was made from a soy patty and the breading was decent. It's not my favorite chicken burger but will give you that nostalgia if you're looking for it. Both dishes weren't super large in portions either but definitely enough for one person.
Service was chill as well. It wasn't crowded on our weekend lunch and our server made sure we were well taken care of. After your meal is over, you head up to the cashier to pay before heading out.
Pros: Great Mexican inspired dishes, Plenty of indoor seating, Large, accessible parking lot

I'd go back - Edit
Stopped here on our way from the airport to Lake Tahoe and it was really good. I had the tostada bowl with asada and a solar smoothie (mango, banana, hemp seeds) and my partner had a burrito with asada. I had my eye on the chick'n for my bowl, but they were out. The asada was meat-like to the point where I would have been concerned had this not been an all-vegan restaurant (take that with a grain of salt though, I haven't eaten meat since '06 and my memory may be fuzzy). The rice and beans were good and the green salsa was great. I'd go back next time I'm passing through. I wish we had a vegan Mexican place like this near where I live.
Read morePros: Great Mexican food, Smoothies, Easy parking
Cons: Out of chick'n

Best Birria Quesadillas! - Edit
I stopped of at this place on the way to Utah from the Bay Area with my family. We shared an order of nachos topped with nopales, taquito’s and some birria quesadillas. All of it was so great but the birria quesadillas were so good we had to get another order. P.S the service was amazing.

Had an asada burrito. I grew up in Southern California and this tasted just like the burritos we’d get down in San Diego. I would have eaten 3 of these, they were so good! Lots of different authentic Mexican dishes available.

This is my second visit here. First time I had the chimichanga which was amazing! This time I opted for less calories and went with a burrito. Both are quite filling and tasty. They also have organic local kombucha which I had to try.

Bland 😢 - Edit
I really really want to like this place as it's the second fully vegan restaurant in Reno. But I've had three dishes here and they've all severely lacked any flavor. The "meats" and sauces have just no flavor or spices. Just so dang bland. I've brought two entrees to my partner and he completely agrees. If a non-vegan person tried this for the first time I can't imagine they would be convinced that plant-based is better. And we all know it totally is! The guy working there is always very kind and I truly appreciate their efforts in a slowly adapting vegan Reno!
Read morePros: Friendly employees, Clean modern interior
Cons: Bland, Some entrees shockingly pricey

Nice place - Edit
Every time we come in here it's empty! The staff is always nice and the food is always banging. All the plates and utensils are disposable. My go-to is the tacos with rice and beans, or the loaded fries. I've had friends order mac and cheese and the chicken sandwiches and are never disappointed. Sometimes there are dessert specials and those have never let me down. They're always expanding their drink menu and have a good variety of yerba mate now

Lacking Flavor - Edit
With House of Mexica being 1 of 2 vegan restaurants in Reno and with such previously high reviews I had high expectations, which unfortunately were not met. My plate, the Mac Burger, was lacking flavor and the bun had a strange, maybe stale, smell coming from it that was hard to get past. My 3 omni friends, who are very veg open, were also not impressed.
Read morenot.sure
I agree that their American menu is bland and boring, their Mexican dishes are much better. Patronizing a Mexican restaurant and ordering traditional America food is an odd thing imo.

Lol ordering basic American fare at a Mexican restaurant and then complaining is hilarious.
Read moreEatPlantsNotFriends
I agree completely. I have had most of their Mexican and American menus, and it is all lacking flavor. Their Mexican menu is better than their American menu, but still not good enough that I would take my omni friends there.
