Yummy but a bit pricey

The only vegan food is street tacos which are very small and a much worse deal than like a burrito but there are no vegan burritos.

Pros: Very tasty, Clearly labeled

Cons: A bit pricey, Not many options

Best vegan tacos ever Do not miss this place!

I would give 5 stars but happy cow won't allow that since this place is not full vegan.We have been vegan for 30 years. Been driving through Bishop for 12 years and usually get some lame meal at Taco Bell. Not any now! This place wow OMG the best tacos! The vegan carnitas tacos are ridiculously good.. Did not even need salsa or any additional sauce. I had the trio with rice and beans. My husband had the trio with the Verde tacos which were good but not as good as the carnitas. We went to get even more to go but the restaurant was closed. Now we are dreamng of our ride back home so we can stop and eat here again. The rice and beans are good but next time I'll just get 5 tacos. Best Jack fruit I've ever had and my favorite tacos ever.

Pros: Vegan carnitas tacos, Quick service, Outside patio

Hip Mexican spot

Clearly labeled plant based options and they were very accommodating to make a vegan burrito even though menu only shows vegan tacos.

Pros: Good vegan options , Nice patio , Friendly staff

Excellent Mexican Food

The plant based tacos were delicious! We substituted the refried beans (with lard) with whole beans in the veggie burrito. And fresh strawberries for dessert! Excellent food, great service! Very reasonable prices!

Cute space and great for vegans

I had the trio of vegan tacos, and they were all amazing. Literally the best vegan Mexican I’ve had. They still use lard in the refried beans, so you have to get the pinto beans and rice, but all was very good.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

And just noticed there’s a Tesla supercharger with 10 stalls across the street.

Vegan Tacos!

So happy to have found this cute spot on the drive home from Lake Tahoe. Plant-based menu and vegan tacos! The better part of this find was eating the vegan tacos — I got one of each of the 3 options — and whoa! They are FRESH and DELICIOUS! The salsa is amazing and tastes like they just made it. I had the spicy red salsa and the green tomatillo. Both fantastic! A must try when driving through Bishop. Great patio dining area. The grocery section is super clean and everything is fresh. They also have plant-based milks and takeout grocery items.

An Oasis on the 395

3 plant based taco options that are reasonably priced and so delicious! Cute patio and market inside.

Good snack pit stop

Fruit and tacos - Mexican snacks that pass as vegan. Chicken vegan taco was my fave. Verde taco wasn’t worth it (just guac and veggies). Carnitas was too seasoned IMO. Chicken and red salsa was my fave.

Great hearty vegan option on 395!!

Great vegan burrito!! It has always been a struggle to find hearty plant-based food when coming out of the mountains on the 395. This will be our stop from now on (and/or a smoothie from the Eastside Juice Bar!). Thank you for having vegan options!

Great Taco Options

There's 3 great plant based taco options and a meatless burrito that can be made vegan by swapping the beans. Wish there were more options though 🥲

Delicious Tacos!

I ate twice at Mercado Mexico and enjoyed my mix of the several vegan options each time. Each taco easily fits into one hand, so consider ordering several if you want a full meal. Both salsas are delicious—just recognize that the hot salsa will live up to that name. I'd love to see more apparent options on future menus for ways to get the veggie protein choices into other meal options. That said, this restaurant is one of the most fluent in Bishop when it comes to catering to vegetarian and vegan diets.

Yummy vegan options

Although it looks like there are only 3 vegan options on the menu, you can ask for any of the proteins in something else. I got the jackfruit carnitas in a torta and it was delicious. They left off the cheese and subbed regular beans for the refried beans to make sure it was vegan. Overall, this is a good spot for a yummy, casual meal.

Vegan Tacos!

Friendly service and really good vegan tacos. Tried all three plant based options: avocado, jackfruit carnitas, and chick’n. All were good but the carnitas was the best! Only complaint (and only reason not a 4 star rating) is the value...the tacos aren’t cheap and they are pretty small. Wish they had some larger more economical options...like burritos and vegan beans and rice.

Great vegan tacos

Was so happy to find some great vegan tacos in Bishop! I tried the vegan carnitas and chicken tacos. They had great texture and flavor and were an excellent take on vegan street tacos. I loved the green salsa on both.

Pros: Good texture, Friendly service , Nice vibe

Cons: Needed to add a little bit of salt to the meat
