Better Crowd than the Loop

This location is less rowdy than the loop; a tad bit classier, if you will. Food is the same across this chain so it’s no better or worse here. It’s just a more pleasant experience overall. Vegans have a few options here like a dedicated vegan taco made with vegan ground beef. They stopped using Impossible Meat and opted for locally owned Hungry Planet Beef (fka Match Meat). Even though I liked the Impossible meat better, I can totally get behind supporting locally owned small businesses (women owned to, or at least they used to be). It’s one taco, but you can switch up the toppings to make a vegan variety taco flight.

HOW TO GET VEGAN SIDES:
The cilantro rice and chopped salad are automatically vegan. The rice is ok, flavorwise.

Refried black beans are vegan when ordered sans queso. They taste a bit boring, and only slightly better when you mix them with the cilantro rice.

Chile Crusted fries are vegan, you just can’t have the accompanying baja sauce.

Guacamole is vegan when ordered without the queso fresco.

There’s definitely more options for vegetarians, but vegans can manage just fine here.

It tends to get very pricey at $3-$4 per street taco. By the time you order apps, a taco flight, sides, and a drink, you’re at $40-$50 person easily. So watch out for that.
