Great for Vegans eating with Non-vegans - Edit
We enjoyed our quesadilla and burrito. At least 5 options with three “meat” choices. Other members of our party enjoyed their food. Servings were substantial. Wine and beer only. Wine margarita was excellent.

Great vegan menu - Edit
Like other reviewers, I was really happy to see an extensive vegan menu -- and "vegan" as a signficant part of the restaurant's signage.
Read moreThere aren't even any completely vegetarian restaurants in South Lake Tahoe, let alone vegan ones, so I tend to steer towards ones that make an explicit effort.
The foods was delicious, the service was good, and the prices were reasonable (for Tahoe).

Favorite Restaurant in South Lake Tahoe - Edit
I live in South Lake Tahoe and Maria’s is one of my favorite restaurants with vegan options in the area. We go usually every other week. I feel lucky that I live so close to it. My favorite is the potato soy chorizo tacos. Their hand made corn tortillas are so delicious.

Delightful surprise - Edit
Was truly surprised to find such good vegan options in Lake Tahoe here. There was a whole vegan section on the back of the menu and the food was truly delicious. Really cozy home cooked meal feeling and absolutely will go back.

My new favorite in Tahoe - Edit
Unbelievable plant based vegan options! My new favorite restaurant in lake Tahoe. We had the tacos with the potato chorizo and they were delish! We also had the enchiladas with the plant based chicken with the green sauce on top. OMG unreal! I want those enchiladas again tomorrow but now I have to wait until they open on Wednesday! Regardless of if you are vegan or not get those enchiladas with the plant chicken. So good. Nice friendly service. Seating inside or outside.

Friendly, fresh & flavorful - Edit
The many vegan options are fresh, flavorful & tasty! All 4 of us got something different and enjoyed every bite. Fresh tortillas with the tacos and loved that they weren’t oily. There is a wait for the food but worth it, definitely recommend if you like Mexican food.

Freshly prepared and full of flavor - Edit
Plenty of vegan options. Had vegan quesadilla with veggies, sopas, loaded nachos vegan horchata (amazing). Coming from San Diego, like to think we know a little bit about good Mexican food. This is that. Not “token” Mexican vegan…I.e. beans and rice burrito, but good food! Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

Great place - Edit
This little place has a vegan menu with lots to choose from. We got the tofu vegetable enchiladas and the cece’s burrito wet with red sauce. The enchiladas had a creamy mild green sauce with a fluffy tortilla and crunchy vegetables with a side of delicious rice and black beans. The cece’s burrito had soyrizo and potatoes with with a few other garnishes. If you get it wet style opt for the green sauce. The red sauce tasted like tomato soup. If it weren’t for the sauce it would have been great.
Read morePros: Vegan menu, Excellent quality rice and beans
Cons: Red “enchilada” sauce tastes like tomato soup, Mild taste

Amazing - Edit
I created an account just to write this review. The staff were amazing and friendly. Vegan options were clearly marked and we were even told that some other options could be converted. I had the sopes and they blew my mind. Highly recommended.

Best authentic style Mexican in Tahoe - Edit
So excited for this new, vegan centric Mexican restaurant in SLT! The soyrizo and potato street tacos were fresh and delicious alongside an excellent guacamole and liquado de jamaica.
Read moreThere are three vegan options on the standard menu plus daily specials.
Chatted to our server who is part of this family owned business--his wife is vegan, hence the vegan focus and the on point menu options. They are working on a seitan carne asada to offer with veggie fajitas and an expanded menu also featuring the vegan ground beef in today's specials. Vegan queso also available!
Pros: (Vegan) family owned, Different proteins (tofu, soyrizo
