Amazing 5 star restaurant

I love this restaurant's options. It was so hard to decide what I wanted between at least 10 options!!

Pros: So many vegan options , They even have vegan sour cream and horchata, 5 stars!!!! Andrea is the absolute best ever

Cons: Red sauce is very hot, Not fully vegan so it won't let me give 5 stars

Friendly, fresh & flavorful

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

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.

Pros: Fresh, Freshly made, Great flavors

Cons: Not fast, but fresh ingredients and flavor

Great place

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.

Pros: Vegan menu, Excellent quality rice and beans

Cons: Red “enchilada” sauce tastes like tomato soup, Mild taste

Amazing

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.

Great food

Was sat immediately with no wait. Server was really friendly. Had the chefs special aka CeCes vegan burrito. If I had to describe it in one word “fire”. This is definitely a sweet little hidden spot. I’m definitely coming back here next time I’m in the area.

Pros: Vegan meats , Great service

Best authentic style Mexican in Tahoe

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.

There 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
