It is what it is - Edit
Was gonna give this place 1star, but our server was too cool to not bump up the score. AND they actually have clear vegan items.
Read moreIt’s airport food. It is what it is. Several steps down from non-airport food and probably way better than whatever vegan option you are gonna get on the plane anyway (if at all).
Ultimately, this place seems to be the only vendor at CLT that recognizes vegans. So the extra star is in appreciation.
Also, based on reviews, I skipped the chips 😉

Clearly marked but bland - Edit
It was nice to find a place in CLT that had a clearly marked vegan option and it was substantial but it was the blandest burrito that I've ever had. Also the "house margarita" was $25 and the price wasn't marked on the menu.

Don't waste your time - Edit
If you like greasy flavorless nachos and stale corn tortillas that break up in your hand when you grab it then I recommend this place. Otherwise go somewhere else.

Bland and cold - Edit
Ordered the verduras burrito from the Express section. Burrito is mostly rice with no sauce. Waited for a while and the same cashier I ordered from saw me standing there for 10 minutes until she finally asked why I was waiting there... Burrito had been ready for 20 minutes.

Koru Touch - Edit
We are devote Vegans. Flying today from CLT to Frankfurt. In arriving and sailing thru security, we were in a 3 hr hold to board.
Read moreThe menu only allows 2 options in Vegan fare. The burrito with pickled onions had allot of flavor, the portion small. However the blood sugar levels appreciated the nosh! It’s a Vegan desert at the CLT Airport, but I’ll take what was offered. As the Executive Lounge of AA supplied nuts only in the food offerings.
Pros: Vegan option , Fast service
Cons: Minimal choices , Airport prices

Airport food at its finest - Edit
I got mine from the Pronto shop to the left of the main entrance to the restaurant and was excited because they have a labeled vegan option. Honestly the quick Mexican food shop by Burger King would have been better. If you’re in a pinch, this works but the hot sauce is the only thing that gave my burrito flavor.

Blegh. Skip it unless desperate - Edit
I second everyone else’s experience of having bland, subpar quality food. I ordered their vegan burrito and I don’t even know where to begin. Plain white rice. Pickled vegetables. Over-cooked veggies. Unreal.

Bland and expensive - Edit
Food was bland, but ordering it "Mexican style" with Pico and pickled onions helped. The alcohol markup was rediculous even for an airport-$21 for a glass of wine.

Expensive, bad food - Edit
The guacamole tasted stale, the vegan tacos were cold, too sweet, and served on brittle cold tortillas. It was very expensive. For an alternative, try the veggie roll at Hissho sushi by Cíao, which is tasty but not otherwise on Happy Cow.
Read morePros: The vegan tacos did not contain animal products.
Cons: Tastes bad., Very costly., Wet and cold.

I should have heeded the reviews - Edit
The food was bland, even the salsa. My tacos were so full of liquid that I couldn’t hold them, they fell apart. One vegan option, served as a taco or burrito. Disappointing - Wasn’t worth the money.

It's technically food - Edit
Confirming what others have said, the verdura burrito is vegan. It's not very good though. Rice, beans, corn, and some pico/pickled onion. Also pretty expensive. But hey, at least it's something.

Meh - Edit
Rare vegan option at this airport but as the other reviews say - pretty flavorless. There is one vegan option but it's expensive for being subpar. In hindsight, I would've just gotten an impossible burger from burger king.

Very Bland, but... - Edit
Got the tacos verduras. Very bland all around. Corn tortilla was flavorless, beans and veggies not very well spiced/seasoned, salsa was meh. The plus was that the ingredients tasted fresh and healthy and not overly salted.

The burrito by itself was bland. But salsa and guacamole are game changers. It was really good.

Boring vegan burrito - Edit
This place has a vegan burrito from a special menu. However, the servers didn’t understand what vegan truly was, so make sure to explain to them that beans cooked in lard are not vegan haha. However, it did have vegan options and unlimited chips and salsa.

Vegan options, but not my favorite - Edit
Charlotte airport has little to offer for a vegan diet. This establishment has a vegan burrito/tacos on their menu; beans and rice with a little corn and green peppers. The burrito is a little bland, I recommend smothering in hot sauce if your palate allows!

Ok but could be better - Edit
Ordered vegan burrito. It was a white flour tortilla with mostly rice, some beans, tomatoes and a little bit of corn. They could have done a lot more with it like roasted/sautéed vegetables especially for $12. Came with salsa and a little iceberg lettuce.

OK in a pinch - Edit
There are probably better options for veg*ns at CLT airport. The only three plant-based options here are beans and corn in two forms (taco or burrito) and chips and salsa — but at least the taco and burrito options are marked as "vegan," so there's that.
Read moreI ordered the tacos with corn tortillas, which unfortunately I can't recommend. It seems they may have been sitting for a few minutes before they were brought to my table, as the tortillas had become soggy so I was unable to pick up the tacos. So my meal was essentially a corn-bean casserole, and without much flavor. You might have better luck with the burrito, which uses flour tortillas that might hold together better.
