I ordered 6 items and not one let me down

This place is one of the greats! The owner is present and kind. The kitchen is clean and hard working. The wonderful staff that takes your order is just perfect.
This should be everyone’s new favorite
Not one item I have had was anything less than fantastic

Super fresh! Incredible menu!

I luckily came on Taco Tuesday, where it is buy 2, get one free. I got the al pastor, Baja and asada tacos and couldn’t decide which I liked the most. The Al pastor and asada tacos had textures I’ve never experienced before that I really enjoyed. And the staff is really cool too. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Fresh Flavor & Vibe!

My wife and I shared almost all their tacos, the salsa, guac, and horcata. All were on point and very tasty! We'll be back the next time we're in town for sure!

SUPPORT THEM, about to close down😒

This place is one of the nicest vegan restaurants I’ve ever eat, their food is healthy, clean and tasty! They use organic products for everything, even though it’s a Mexican restaurant the recipes are very unique. And sadly they are about to close, let’s show some support and show up this weekend or order from them! #Veganuary

Pros: Organic food, Tasty, Healthy

Best Vegan Burritos!

Taco Vega is amazing quality Mexican food and all vegan! They have great guacamole and salsa. I love the nachos with so Carne Asada mushrooms on top -the flavor is out of this world! The loaded fries are some of the best I have ever had. Their queso is delicious- their chips so fresh and taste house cooked.
My favorite burritos are the California burrito and the supreme burrito. The California burrito has fries in it!
The Supreme Burrito has the best refried beans as well- turned me on to refried beans.
They have lots of taco options if that is your preference.
The food is ridiculously good and the portions are excellent in size! You probably cannot go wrong ordering here.
I didn’t love their desserts as much as I love their food. I thought they were just okay. No plant based meats here only vegetable swaps posing or flavored as meats. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu - I love what I get so much though I don’t know if I will switch it up. For takeout they are usually fast as well. I love Taco Vega - highly recommend it.

Pros: Unique Burrito combinations and flavors , Mushrooms serve as a carne asada alternative , Nachos!

Cons: No sour cream on the side ordering option , Desserts are just okay

Best vegan food on Fairfax

This is hands down my favorite vegan spot in the Fairfax area. Almost everything I've tried from the menu has been amazing, but I especially love the burritos and the kale salad (even though I'm not much of a salad person, it has a perfect combo of ingredients). The churros are great too. It's not super expensive especially considering that there are usually leftovers. And this is a weird compliment, but I appreciate how the food has a sensible protein/vegetable ratio, unlike lots of vegan places.

Pros: Lots of consistently tasty menu options, Quick and friendly service, Affordable

Another Fairfax miracle

Amongst so many of the Fairfax miracles past and present now enters yet another and a vegan one at that. Creative tacos, bring your non vegan friends (the asada and the baja are for them, imho), homemade horchata, and a great spicy salsa Roja matches the best trucks in the city.

Alright food

Tacos were good and unique. You can tell effort went into them to make them more than your average taco bell taco. The iron man bowl was way too "healthy" tasting. Neither me nor my partner liked it and we actually ended up throwing it away mostly uneaten. I haven’t done that in a very long time. The entire bowl tasted like lemon herbal tea. I also didn't realize they'd put purple yams rather than regular yams which have a very specific flavor I wasn't the biggest fan of. The quesadillas were good but average. Tasted like daiya. Over all, I'd try it again but be more cautious what I ordered.

California burrito

California burrito rocks in taste and it's filling. The mushroom asada is bomb. The marinade is legit! In this burrito or tacos where it's even more pronounced.

AMAZING!

This place is soooooo freaking good! I cant wait to go back. The asada fries are what dreams are made of. Total game changer. Took a non vegan with me and everytime we talk we always talk about how good the fries were. Cant wait to be back!

Pros: Lots of options. Horchata tasted very authentic

Asian flair tacos - YES

Hey this place opened during the pandemic and everything has some interesting Asian flair - I LOVE it. Watermelon radish on the nachos, tempura cauliflower taco, king oyster mushroom taco. Not like eating Asian food but just perfectly balanced adventure for Mexican food. The chips are outstanding. No meat replacements - instead: vegetables!

Pros: Really excellent taco joint, Large back patio, Bowls and salads too

Cons: Plastic serving containers:(

Amazing Mexican Food coming from a Mexican Gal

This place is amazing, they have a very unique taco selection. The tempura cauliflower taco, the poblano chile taco and pastor are exquisite, you have to try them out. My boyfriend loves the California Burrito. Just experience this Restaurant, it has become one of my favorite Mexican Vegan Restaurants.

Pros: Fully vegan , Amazing flavor , Variety

Cons: Expensive , The orange salsa is not the best , The chocolate of the churros is bitter

Absolutely delicious

So freakin' good! I always the grab the same thing. The California burrito (that mushroom carne asada is terrific) and the churros (mmmm, so delicious). Always great and friendly service. And they're able to customize my burrito so that it's not so spicy. Highly recommend this place for not only terrific food, but you're supporting a local business, and exercising kindness to animals. It's a win, win.

Tasty Tacos

I ordered two tacos to go. The Poblano and Baja. The tacos are the soft shell variety, and are flavorful.
