Whole menu worth of vegan options - Edit
Wasn’t expecting to find somewhere this good for lunch when I was working in Newhall. Huge vegan menu, and the jackfruit al pastor was very tasty. I’m definitely going again any time I’m out that way.

I'm trying new things each time and everything is always delicious! Today I had Sopa de albóndigas and when I tell you it was full of flavor, BELIEVE ME! I can't put it above my grandma's but it fights for that #1 spot. I also got breakfast sopes, so good!!

Authentic Vegan Menu! - Edit
Go here now. The mint lemonade is insane with cucumber and jalapeño. The mole enchiladas are off the hook with jackfruit and the beans and rice - perfection.

Microwave food - Edit
I've been here before and the food was good but my most recent visit, I didn't appreciate the microwaved food I was served. And they also managed to burn it as well. Disappointing.

Favorite spot in Santa Clarita! - Edit
Great restaurant. My friends and I go there all the time, and we enjoy the vibes. It is always a pleasure to see the owners too, who have been vegans for several years. My favorite item on the vegan menu would be the Enchiladas de Mole.

Wish I Could Give 5 Stars! - Edit
If I could give this place five stars, I would! Of course I’m unable to because it’s not fully vegan, but let me tell you that their vegan menu is expensive!
Read moreI got the flautas with guacamole, and it came with rice and beans. I highly recommend stopping by after a hike, because the portions are very generous and it’s ideal after working up an appetite.

Best vegan Mexican I have ever had - Edit
Ordered 2 vegan ground beef tacos plate. It was hands down the most delicious Mexican food I’ve had since becoming vegan 4 years ago. If I could give 5 stars I would. Would come back again and bring a community of vegans with me

Phenomenal Food! - Edit
Absolutely 10/10 we’ll be back. The vegan options take up more of the menu than the meats! The customer service was next level and super polite. Get in here and enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner at any time.

Extensive and delicious vegan menu - Edit
Went to La Charrita and was pleasantly surprised at the vast options of vegan food- they have a whole vegan menu! I ordered the vegan birria and my husband ordered the vegan torta- they were both delicious and service was wonderful. Definitely will be returning!

So many options! I haven't explored the full menu, but I've been a handful of times and each item has been delicious. Get the horchata every time, because who doesn't love a good horchata?

Very clutch Vegano Mexican spot in SCV - Edit
I didn’t know this was going to have THIS many vegan options. Half the menu is vegan & they have a separate vegan menu so it’s easy. You can basically get anything and they have like 6 vegan meat options. My favorites are the Flautas, Wet Burrito, Nachos & Enchilada combo. This place needs to be talked about more lol

Pros: SO many vegan options , Several vegan meat choices for any plates , Great portions

Most vegan options in town - Edit
Every meal I've had from this restaurant is the best! They have a full vegan menu and lots of variety. Trust me you will be blown away. I will say, I've only had take out from here, because the dining area is on the small side.

Lovvvve this spot. - Edit
My favorite vegan options in SC! Half the menu is non vegan but the other half is so they have not just “a few options for the vegans” but a reallllly great selection.
Read moreThe enchiladas with red sauce are my favorite. But everything I’ve tried has been great- a lot of meat substitute options that aren’t just beyond meat- more homemade option like nopalitos etc.
Pros: Good prices , Great options for gf
Cons: No alcohol lol

Recommended by Farm Sanctuary - Edit
When an animal sanctuary recommends a restaurant, y’all better pay attention.
Read moreWhile La Charrita Mexican restaurant is not 100% vegan, they advertise the fact that they are vegan friendly and are all that. Starting with an analog seasoned soy pork substitute called adobaba, they offer jackfruit, mushroom soy, soyrizo/cauliflower analogs that rival traditional Mexican proteins, and taste freaking amazing.
Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan, you will love the food that this small family owned restaurant offers…..go show them some love.
Thank you Farm Sanctuary for recommending them

When’s the last time you had truly excellent vegan Mexican food? We just did. - Edit
Since one of us went vegan, it’s been years. This place goes well beyond “vegan options.” This places seems to be more like a vegan restaurant with meat options, than the other way around. Three pages of the menu are fully vegan dishes, including hard to find items like vegan mole and wet-style burritos. There was not just one vegan meat option but multiple: soy curls adobado (?), jackfruit, Soyrizo, and mushroom based fillings. Tortillas taste homemade. The menu is allergy friendly as well.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Large servings, Reasonable prices a
Cons: Tortilla chips weren’t as good as main dishes.

Vegano Mex - Edit
Very delicious Mexican vegan offerings from this family owned and operated establishment. Their marinated jackfruit is delicious & flavorful in any dish! The highlight of La Charrita is their authentic recipes and true respect and love for quality plant based food. The family and staff are very sweet and accommodating and make you feel welcomed. Their popularity is increasing as more and more of their menu is transitioned to a near full vegan menu.
Read moreI recommend the super flavorful loaded breakfast burrito, the crispy potato tacos plate, adobada tacos, the flautas plate with guacamole, the tostada de cerviche-cauliflower and the agua frescas. The entire vegan menu has so many great options you can’t go wrong.

Awesome food and service! - Edit
This place was great bc there is a regular menu AND a vegan menu that has just as many options as the non-vegan one. The soy-coliflor “vegano meat” option was very tasty, as well as everything else that we got! The food also came out crazy fast - I don’t think we were even waiting for 10 mins. I would definitely come again if I lived in the area!

Missing veggies - Edit
2022.APRIL 20- Vegano Breakfast Burrito($13/14 w/tax) chef forgot the tomato, onion, cilantro, none to be found, pls update the wording potatoes to “tater-tots”, would have ordered another item if listed correctly. Basically paid for tator-tots, very little tofu-egg and maybe soy-rizo??
Read moreBummed out, was looking forward due to the great reviews. Maybe another item/shift will be better.
On the bright side; over the phone and in the restaurant when I entered to pick up, the guy was professional/good customer service.
Pros: Many vegan options, Hopefully nxt time will be better???
Cons: Incorrect menu wording , Veggies missing from order

Great food, but... - Edit
The food here is amazing! I am a vegan and I was elated at how many choices I had. The rest of my family is not vegan and they also loved their menu options and meals. My only problem is that when I went yesterday (02/26/22), everything was served to us on disposable plates and bowls, the chip bowls being styrofoam, and we were given plastic utensils. As an environmentally-conscious consumer, this was hard for me to get past. I was not expecting this and I see from the pictures posted on this Yelp page that usually this is not the case. I don't want to be too harsh in my rating because I don't know if this is pandemic related or if something happened to the dishwasher, but if you're avoiding unnecessary waste I would recommend you bring your own utensils and such just in case.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: Using all disposable dinnerware
