Minimal vegan options

Minimal, but tasty vegan options. There is a special taco and the table side Guac you can order. Wish they had more options.

Pros: Guac , Vegan tacos , A few craft beers

Cons: Lack of vegan options outside a few

Worst vegan tacos ever!

The tacos were not good. They were sweet tasting snd horrible. Service was the worst as well. They forgot one of our drinks and we had to wait about 30 minutes to get both. We waited 10-15 minutes just for water. Guacamole was good and made at our table. Between the bad tacos, very slow service and forgotten drink we were very unhappy with what could have been a nice meal on the river walk.

Pros: Good guacamole

Cons: Slow service, unfriendly , Bad service and excuses, Bad food

Vegan Tacos

Great location on the riverwalk. It was near our hotel, so we stopped by for dinner. The vegan tacos are pretty tasty. Not a lot of other vegan options. If you're on the riverwalk I'd recommend it.

Fabulous veggie fajitas!

Update: We came back and tried the Vegetable Fajitas for 2 and they are amazing! Very generous serving size. 3 of us had more than enough. I asked them to prepare the veggies without oil and they were perfect. Best vegan food on the Riverwalk by far!
The veggie enchiladas have butter in the sauce. We were told it could be made vegan. After ordering the waiter came back and said that there was cheese in the filling and could not be made vegan. We got the vegan tacos. They were delicious and the rice and black beans make it a filling meal. The rice would have been better warm. The black beans were perfect. If I go back I will try the fajitas. Chips and salsa were ok. One warm and one cold salsa. The guacamole would also be an option for an appetizer. One of the few places you can get a vegan meal on the river walk.

Delicious vegan food on the Riverwalk

I ordered the vegan tacos. There were few vegan options on the menu, but honestly I didn't mind as long as there was something to eat. It wasn't just a standard option that left off the meat and dairy. The vegan tacos were flavorful and clearly planned. I had never had sundried tomatoes in Mexican food before, but I absolutely loved this dish. I highly recommend!

Pros: Good vegan options , Friendly staff, Great location

Vegan Tacos

The Vegan Tacos were really good. The were served with rice & black beans, plus chips and salsa. It was pretty good sized meal for the price.

Good food; nice atmosphere

We had a little mishap with them seating our party. They seated us and sat for 30 min and no one came to our table at all. Then we were asked if we could move tables so we picked up all of our drinks (we got from the bar while waiting to be seated) and menus - they didn't offer to carry for us. But I asked to see the manager and she took care of our whole bill. The food was good. So for these 2 positives I gave this place a 4. I know things happen and it was storming and busy so they were trying to scramble and find seating for people sitting outside.

Pros: Some vegan options , A few vegetarian menu items

Cons: Table side guac was just ok for a $13 app

Vegan on the Riverwalk

I was smelling all the Mexican food on the Riverwalk and I kept looking at menus until I found something that could be made vegan. The salsa was warm and the chips were cold. I don't think I ever had warm salsa before. I prefer cold salsa and warm chips. There is an option for guacamole to be made at the table. I ordered the herb grilled veggie fajitas. I asked for no cheese, sourcream or butter. The plate came out with a little cheese on the refried beans. I don't eat those any way because I didn't ask the lard question. I didn't eat the rice because I didn't ask the chicken stock question. The veggies were not cooked in oil. If they were it wasn't much. They tasted clean and grilled. They were crisp and flavorful. There were portabella mushrooms, squash, zucchini, onions and red peppers. The corn tortillas were grilled as well. It was delicious.
