Cashier didn’t understand vegan

I started out stating I was vegan. I then tried to order something they couldn’t make vegan. So I asked what they suggested. She recommended something and I went with it. There was other discussion about the cheese and sour cream. I reiterated that I was vegan.

Then before the food came out, the server came to the table to clarify. I again said so no cheese.

However the kitchen had already made the item. And because they didn’t want to waste food, they insisted that I pay for another meal.

The server was completely unwilling to remake the dish. She insisted that I had said no sour cream but had approved the cheese.

The meal showed up with sour cream and cheese. The server was still unwilling to fix it. We had to talk with the owner who reluctantly agreed to remake the dish because it had the sour cream.

Sadly, I have had many positive experiences here in the past and am left shocked by this experience.

Authentic

They have several options for vegan tacos. The rice and pinto beans are fresh and not cooked in animal fat. Best Mexican food I’ve had in years.

Pros: Options, Authentic, Delicious

Cons: Can’t think of any

Wanderer torta is where it's at

I had the wanderer torta with soy asada, no cheese no mayo add avocado. It was so delicious, the bread is soft and flavorful, the soy curls are seasoned well, and the green salsa is exactly what I wanted to douse my torta. Definitely recommend trying this spot out!

Pros: 4 vegan protein options, Great drinks, Friendly staff

Cons: No mayo substitute

Can’t give 5 stars b/c not fully veg - but it’s awesome

We stumbled on this awesome taqueria while out for a walk - although I’d previously seen it listed on happy cow. What a lucky find - there were a bunch of taco and burrito options with several different unique and creative veggie fillings - mushroom and onions, squash and onions and spicy peppers(Rajas). I had a bowl and really enjoyed the fillings as well as a side of beans.

This is an order at the counter place but it had a wonderful outdoor space.

Excellent assortment of Agua Fresca and a large variety of Mexican beers.

Pros: Super tasty and unique veggie filling options, Great outdoor space, Serves beer

Excellent Veg Options

This place is great! We're happy we discovered it through Happy Cow. They were super friendly and totally willing to take about ingredients and ordering vegan was easy. Their menu made veg options clear and ordering vegan made easy enough by asking and leaving off the queso and crema. This is NOT a dedicated vegan restaurant, if that's your preference, so be aware. However, the food was amazing and super filling. The vegan meat filling was amazing and there were plenty of veg/vegan choices. We'll definitely be back to this place when we're back in town.

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Easy vegetarian/vegan order, Whole food plant based ingredients

Amazing vegan meat!

What a find! They have amazing street style tacos, burritos, and tortas. Homemade tortillas and they even make their own vegan chorizo and carne asada! I was blown away by how tasty both of these options were! Simple to make vegan, you just choose one of the many vegetarian choices and have them leave off the crema, mayo, or what have you. And the best horchata I’ve ever tasted too (they put strawberries in it).

Pros: Lots of options that can be made vegan, Fresh and delicious ingredients, Homemade tortillas

Wonderful

Friendly helpful staff and delicious tacos. I ordered three tacos - mushroom, soyrizo with potatoes, and soy asada tacos- and requested them to be vegan. So good! If in Walla Walla again, I will definitely return.

Pros: Clearly marked veggie items - can be made vegan., Inexpensive, Delicious homemade tortillas for tacos!
