Authentic Vegan Mexican!!

Many vegan options at this great little Mexican place. And so many different flavors and sauces to choose from. We shared the nopales appetizer, I had enchiladas mole (enmoladas), my husband had flautas, my daughter had zucchini enchiladas, and my son had a veggie/ mushroom huarache. All vegan!! All excellent!
My only complaint is that it would have been good to have some vegan protein options, like some seitan or veggie sausage.

Pure Perfection

I just moved to CO from RI and have missed legit Mexican food.
I walked into Tarascos and felt at home. It’s an eclectic small dive that reminds me so much of the littles places in Mexico and Southern Cali.
The decor was incredible, fun, cultural.
The menu was expansive, so many vegan options! Tamales, chilaquiles, huraches, etc.
I ordered the enmoladas but the owner came out and let me know it wasn’t gluten free so i switched to the corn tamales wil th salsa verde.
We started with the jalapeño pop poppers. Pickled jalapeños filled with peanut butter. HEAVEN in my mouth. The perfect mix of sweet and spicy. The horchata was legit- i haven’t had such good horchata since my visits to Oaxaca. Then came the corn tamales. I can’t describe how incredible they were. Soooooo good and authentic!
I am excited to explore everything Tarascos has to offer.
The food, the employees, the atmosphere- all perfection.

Pros: The Food, The Employees, The Atmosphere

Authentic Mexican Food

This tiny restaurant was full because of the high quality food. The service was low key and excellent and the many vegan options clearly marked. The vegan takes on the enchiladas and huaraches we had were delicious.

The only reason for withholding a star was the small portion sizes. Previous reviews stated it was large enough to share, but we found ourselves hungry enough afterwards to eat again.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious Mexican food, Service

Cons: Limited parking, A bit difficult to find, Portion sizes could be a bit larger

Many Vegan & Vegetarian Options

It’s not common that you’ll find an authentic Mexican restaurant with pages of vegan options! Tarascos did not disappoint and on top of the great food, the service was awesome too! Can’t wait to come back and try more platos!

Pros: So many authentic options, Great portions , Friendly staff

Cons: NONE!

Great veg options!

The food was flavorful and fresh! Often I find it’s hard to get Mexican food without questioning if it’s really veggie. Here, there are a lot of options clearly labeled and the staff knows what “vegan” and “vegetarian” are without having to explain.
Some of the best veggie Mexican food I’ve ever had!

Authentic vegan Mexican

I got the potato and carrots enchiladas that came with refried beans and rice. It was amazing!!! Lots of food for the price. Got the corn tamales as well and they were just alright. They have good flavor but there’s nothing inside of them

Enchiladas Plazeras!!

Ever since becoming vegan my wife & I both really miss & crave good Mexican comida. The enchiladas plazeras (carrots & potatoes) is by far our favorite dish to satisfy our craving! We get w green instead of red chile & 1 plate is more than enough for us to split!! Delicious enchiladas!!

Pros: Small batch, feels home-cooked

Cons: Parking

Gf had the amazing looking mushroom enchilads and myself the veggie burrito. Everything on the menu was marked how it can be made so no guessing work.

Pros: Price , Ease of ordering , Service

Great vegan gluten free enchiladas

We really enjoyed the zucchini and carrot/potato enchiladas. Both came with refried beans and rice on the side. More of a traditional Mexican retauraunt flavor but many vegan gluten free options. Great smoothies and fruit waters, too.

Neither vegan-friendly nor well-prepared

Came here last night because we were in the mood for Mexican and we saw it on HappyCow. First of all, as a side note from the food, they serve no alcohol, so don't get your heart set on that margarita. The chips taste like they're from a Tostito's bag. When we ordered meals that were "vegan" (despite them having items marked vegan on the menu), our waitress was confused and we had to specify no cheese or cream. My dad's food was still frozen in the middle. Our veggie burrito was swimming in an oily and super salty sauce. We asked for other veggies to be put inside. Otherwise it would have been a very plain rice and bean burrito. The food made me feel pretty weird afterward. Definitely would not recommend for vegans, as the food is extremely simple (no vegan cheese, protein, or sour cream substitutes - they just remove these items so your food is plain).

Cons: food was still frozen in the middle, misunderstanding of vegan, oily, heavy, not flavorful

Damn good food

I trust Happy Cow reviews and this place sure didn't disappoint. There is a wide selection of vegan options marked in the menu. My husband got the bean and rice burrito and I got the chimichanga. Both were smothered in their famous green chili sauce. If I could bottle it up and take it home To another on everything, I would. The free chips and salsa was some of the best salsa I've ever had. Waitress was super friendly and the food was fresh and piping hot.

I just moved down the road and I know it'll be one of my "regular" dining options.

Pros: vegan options, price, food quality

many vegan options

This is a tiny restaurant that delivers BIG! Reasonably priced. Many vegan options but be very clear that you don't want cheese. I had the vegan chimichanga and it was the first one I've had since I went vegan. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Filled with potatoes and carrots and topped with vegan green chili! So good! I also wanted to try the tamales, but I couldn't justify ordering 2 entrees. My omnivore family loves their food too. Try it... you'll like it.

Pros: delicious, inexpensive, good options

Cons: service was so so, no ambiance

Found It Through The Gay Vegan Blog

The location is a little bit discouraging but fear not. Talk to the waiter about being Vegan and he will help you to get your food ordered they offer awesome guacamole and Cactus leaves. Good food you are not going to regret it

Pros: Inexpensive , Good Food , Knowledgeable Staff

Cons: Weird Neighborhood

A Hidden Gem

Tucked away between a marijuana dispensary and a Vietnamese restaurant is this Mexican restaurant with a surprising availability of vegan/vegetarian menu choices. Featuring the flavors of the Michoacan region of Mexico we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The owner/chef is very knowledgeable about vegan options as was our waiter. The dining area is small and humble in appearance, but clean and well cared for. We tried the frijoles burrito, the potato and carrot chimichanga, and some tamales. All were great, particularly the chimichanga. We took frozen tamales home and they were delicious the next day. We are definitely planning to return to Tadesco.

Pros: Food, Service , Vegan Options

Cons: Parking , Neighborhood

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Everything I have had at this restaurant is very delicious. In the summer they have an agua de sandia (icy watermelon drink) that is very refreshing. The green chili, mole, salsa, guacamole are very good.

Pros: Staff very friendly

Vegan Green Chili.. oh yeahhh

I went here because of the positive review and WOW.. This place is really really good! You can almost miss the restaurant driving by and the parking lot can be a little tricky, but well worth it! The owner/chef is very willing to accomodate and adapt his menu to fit vegan needs. Also has an awesome juice bar. The owner is very generous and will bring you all sorts of things to try on the house.

Pros: green chili, vegetarian menu, don't have to explain what "vegan" means

Cons: parking

Amazing vegan Mexican food!

We are writing ablog post about this but had to rate them here on HappyCow! If you love flavorful Mexican food, you have to check out Tarascos. So many delish options, with amazing service. All made to order so the whole list of veg options can easily be made vegan! I wish we could give 5 stars but it seems only veg places can get 5. You will not regret a visit here!

Pros: Amazing food, So many flavors, Friendly service
