Ask for the vegan menu! - Edit
Definitely don’t forget to ask for the vegan menu! I was looking at the regular menu at first and saw a few options but then they brought me the vegan menu and there was sooooo much to choose from that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the cauliflower bowl, which was delicious and super filling. I docked a star because they were out of vegan cheese. The restaurant is also super cute and decked out in Mexican art and vibes. Was glad to find this spot in what seems like an otherwise not very vegan friendly state.

First time, won't be my last! - Edit
Lots of vegan options! I chose, for my first visit, the Mushroom Mole, as a burrito. Delicious, generous, served piping hot. Includes rice and black beans inside, so completely nutritious, also. The chips were fresh, thin and crispy, and the salsa bar includes a lot of choices I want to try! The peanut salsa was a sweet surprise (I hope it was vegan). The atmosphere, large beautiful Mexican themed artwork, and fun Latin@ music, made me remember how thin the border between Mexico and the US is; we share so much. I love getting authentic tastes of Mexico here in the 'hood.
Read moreAn update: I went again tonight and again ordered the vegan mole burrito, mushroom. It was completely different than my first visit, with super amazing mole sauce covering the burrito, delicate white rice and crisp salad on the plate. Astounding! Though I am left wondering why these dishes were so different, one time to the next.

Lots of delicious options - Edit
There are so many great vegan taco options here. The horchata is not vegan, unfortunately, and the menu is kind of confusing as some things are marked vegan, but if it comes with cheese on it, you'll need to ask for it without cheese.

Literally soooo good - Edit
Also can’t believe this place hasn’t got more ratings. Amazing fresh salsa bar where you can help yourself, accompanied by free chips. Whole vegan menu section, some just need to be asked for without cheese. I tried a burrito one time and tacos another, both great. Make sure you get their guacamole it’s so so good, also definitely get one of their margaritas!!!

Surprised this place isn’t more reviewed! Best tacos in Phoenix. - Edit
I’ve been coming here since they first opened in 2010, and during that time they’ve changed names and I’ve quit eating animal products. They still stand up as probably the best place to grab tacos in Phoenix. The tacos are so well seasoned and the salsa bar is delicioso. Highly recommended!

Tacos de La Santisima! - Edit
This place is a local favorite, even attracting visiting celebrities. I finally got to try them out recently, and on Taco Tuesday, no less!
Read moreI love that they allow you to mix and match different tacos to create your own taco plate. I ordered the following 3 tacos:
Tlaloc (grilled cactus, caramelized onion, garlic, jalapeños; I omitted the additional options for this taco -tomato, mushrooms, and queso fresco)
Guisado Tenoch (Grilled Cactus, Potato, Guajillo & red salsa; I omitted the mushrooms and queso fresco)
Mexica Ahuacatl (Beer Battered Avocado, cabbage, salsa jicama; I omitted the pico de gallo and the salsa cilantro, the latter of which contains dairy)
The Guisado Tenoch & Mexica Ahuacatl were by far my favorites. The Guisado is terrifically tantalizing to the tastebuds and needed no extra salsas. The Ahuacatl was equally delicious once I added some Strawberry Salsa. (It's delicious alone, just a little dry w/o the salsa.) I wasn't a fan of the flavors in the Tlaloc, which were too tart and robust to my liking. Just a personal preference.
I ordered my plate with rice and black beans, and I mixed them together. The flavor of the beans was delightful; they were seasoned perfectly, and not too salty. (It's my understanding that the refried beans contain dairy, so vegans should stick to the black beans.)
Another shining star here is the unlimited salsa bar, which features about a dozen different salsas. The salsa ingredients are not listed, but after spotting a particularly milky looking one, I inquired and discovered that there are a few salsas which do contain dairy, including the pecan salsa and cilantro salsa. I have since been informed that the following salsas are all vegan: salsa 7 chiles, árbol, cabo, chipotle, sesame, peanut, strawberry, pico de gallo, jicama, cruda, tomatillo, rábano, and the Mexicana. The guacamole is also confirmed as vegan. The strawberry salsa became an unexpected favorite, winning me over with its refreshingly sweet and spicy flavors.
The service was great and I absolutely adore the wall art. The only thing I do not like is that the bathroom is in the dining area and several people kept leaving the door open… The salsa bar is right outside that door. As an OCD germaphobe, I was terribly bothered by this. Aside from that, I love this taqueria and cannot wait to return and try the rest of their vegan menu.
Pros: delicious vegan tacos, creative & flavorful salsas
Cons: oddly placed bathroom in the dining area, parking
