Well-priced and delicious - Edit
Let me just say, it’s been maybe a decade since $6 guac and chips got you a LOT of guac. The burritos were amazing and while we’re trying to not repeat restaurants while visiting, I promise it will be nearly impossible to not get back here at least once more before we leave. The homemade hot sauces are SO good. Incredible vegan options but no vegan cheese (you won’t miss it). Everything is made to order, so don’t be shy about dietary restrictions.

Knowledgeable - Edit
The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about how to modify the fajitas to add tofu and remove dairy to make it a hearty vegan serving! The fajitas were good and quite filling.

Great value! - Edit
The best $10 burrito I’ve had! Great vegan menu, it was so hard to choose. I ended up with the Burro Verde (without cheese or sour cream). Such a unique combination of flavors with black beans, rice, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and more! Very delicious and filling for the price. Hot sauce was “insanely hot” as described and a couple of drops were the perfect accompaniment with each bite. I ordered to go, but service was good and food was ready very quickly. Also ordered chips with guac & salsa, which were above average. I highly recommend seeking them out for vegan Mexican in NOLA.

Amazing - must visit - Edit
Delicious food, great value. The staff are amazing at catering to veganism and gluten free! I had the Wicked Green burrito and asked for it to come with corn tortillas instead and it was amazing. They have a really nice seating area at the back

great food at a decent price - Edit
The vegetarian options were good but unfortunately the vegan options were limited. You could order a vegi option and have them take out the cheese and sour cream at the same price. We were told they are looking to get vegan cheese in very soon and it would be really easy to make vegan sour cream.
Read moreThe Margaritas and beer were reasonably priced and very good. Overall everything was really good.
Pros: good price
Cons: not a great deal of vegan options

Great, Inexpensive Choice for Dining Near the French Quarter - Edit
This is a great place for vegans and vegetarians to find tasty dining options close to the French Quarter. It's just a short walk up river, and well worth it. They have a variety of good choices, some great hot sauces, and really reasonable prices - $5.00 to $7.00 for really big burritos. You can also get them served in bowls without the tortilla.
Read moreIf you are familiar with Chipotle or Qdoba, the food is very similar to those places except that it is a regular, sit-down restaurant.
Pros: Good Flavor, Low Prices, Variety of Options
Cons: A little bit of a walk from the French Quarter, The restaurant is rather small

Supergreen Burrito is Superb - Edit
The mid city location is very close to where we are staying. We ordered the Supergreen Burrito and the Veg Fajitas. We also started with an appetizer of guacamole and chips.
Read moreThe supergreen burrito was so big that even sharing it with someone, we were full after eating it. Still the food on the fajita place was varied and tasty
When we ordered all veg food we were offered a choice of dairy or none. Although we are not vegan, it was nice to be offered the choice of vegan preparation. It show that they care about the choice that we make and are willing to accomodate.
Both dishes that we ordered were delightful. I would skip the guacamole and chips. The guacamole is not made to order although it tasted fine.
Updated from previous review on Friday May 03, 2013
We went back in 2014. I should have read my own review first. We ordered exactly the same thing and we were offered vegan (no dairy) options. We ordered the Guacamole again and once again, I'd recommend passing. I ordered a frozen drink again, and again it was way too sugary.
Still, the main dish was great and they really try to help you when they know you are veg/vegan. We will be going back!
Pros: great veg entrees, accommodating to vegans
Cons: guacamole not made to order, frozen drinks too sugary

good burritos - Edit
The main seating is booths, and there is also a bar and a few tables in the back. It's a small place, but the potato and bean burrito was delicious. I imagine that this place is key in wee hours after a night on the town (actually, i guess they're only open until 11 or 10... but still).

Cons: small, busy

Delicious! - Edit
My server understood what "vegan" meant and offered to have me order a bean burrito with three veggies, and guacamole, no dairy for (I think) the price of a regular vegetarian burrito. They have vegan (or vegan-able) options, but it was nice to special order. Also, they have whole wheat tortillas. Everything was delicious and fresh!
Read morePros: great food, inexpensive, helpful staff
Cons: not 100% veg

A Must-eat - Edit
We visited both locations while in town and were satisfied each time. The first time (Mid City) I got the Supergreen burrito (dairy optional) which was orgasmic and my boyfriend got the vegetarian fajitas w/o cheese. An appetizer of chips & salsa (which was chunky and awesome) and beer may have put us over the top cuz we were so full we wanted to die. The second time we went to the Garden District location and my boyfriend got the Supergreen (cuz he saw how in love I was the first time) and I, not being too hungry, simply got the chips/salsa/guac appetizer (which did end up being quite the meal). You MUST go to this place. They have chill music playing and great prices.
Read morePros: Yummy, Big portions

Big and Satisfying Burritos - Edit
Burritos are huge and relatively cheap. The Veggie Punk and Super Green Burritos are satisfying and can easily be made vegan without cheese. The place can be packed for lunch and dinner-especially on the weekends. I haven't always had the best service-those hipster tattooed folks can be just plain rude.
Read morePros: Yummy Mexican food, Not too expensive
Cons: Occasional rude service, Expect a wait during lunch or dinner

They've updated their vegan options and tend to have more now! Call ahead to see for sure though, but I've gotten veggie meat and tofu options!

Cheap veggie food - Edit
I enjoyed Juan's Flying Burrito. I got enchiladas (gluten-free and vegetarian), and sat outside to people watch on lovely Magazine Street. They are inexpensive and the food was decent. My Margarita was also decent and cheap.

Tasty Bargain - Edit
I've only been to the Magazine location, but my experience was great. Hip but welcoming atmosphere, big menu, and big portions. Being from Seattle (where everything is expensive), I was shocked to see a huge, veggie filled burrito was only going to put me back 6 or 7 dollars. My server was totally committed to helping me find nondairy options, and seemed to know what a vegan was. I was there around Strawberry Festival, so the local brewery, Abita, had out their strawberry beer. AMAZING. I highly recommend eating at Juan's
Read morePros: cheap, cool vibe, friendly waitstaff
