Best tacos I've ever had - Edit
The title says it all. Everything is spectacular. Each taco creation has its own identity and is loaded with flavor. A must for anyone. Take a trip to Austin just to sample these tacs. Yes, I did shorten taco to tac.

so amazing! - Edit
My best friend and I went here this morning and it was delicious!! She got the brunch special which was a taco but with a pancake as the tortilla with strawberries, blueberries, chorizo, scrambled tofu, the works! I got a scrambled tofu, sausage and cheese taco. So good! The sausage was seasoned beautifully. Such a cool place and great vibe. Will definitely go back!

WE ATE HERE 3x in 1 WEEK - Edit
Cool food truck vibe with backyard alley picnic table dining next to a quick stop food mart where you can buy your drinks. We took our two little girls (4&2yrs old) here and we and they were happy every time. Get the nachos while you're waiting!

Favorite tacos, HANDS DOWN - Edit
There is nothing here that hasn't been the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. I have literally pulled over and eaten these tacos in a parking lot because I couldn't help myself, knowing what was waiting for me. You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu. The cheese sauce should be consumed in large quantities and often.
Pros: Best tacos on the planet, Everything there is amazing, Baja tacos! Breakfast tacos!
Cons: Caaaan be a long wait

best tacos EVER! - Edit
Many good options but the Del Rey on corn are mind-blowing. I never had a fish taco before I became vegan bit if they're like the Del Rey I can see why people love them. Call your order in because the wait can be long at peak tines.

Best Tacos In Town - Edit
My favorites are the breakfast tacos, numbers 2 and 3. If you like spicy Bean Diablo! The tofu scramble is really flavorful, genuinely eggy, and all of the other ingredients are high quality. They occasionally have events with vegan brisket. If you follow them on Facebook you'll get all of the essential info.
Pros: Delish!
Cons: Limited parking

I could eat here everyday...seriously. - Edit
I LOVE THE VEGAN NOM. Love it.
Everything is always so fresh. My husband is not vegan and looked at me crazy the first time I told him I wanted to go out for vegan tacos. All it took was one bite! He actually requests to come here now.
Delicious food, good service.

Dream about Vegan Nom Tacos - Edit
Before eating at Vegan Nom, I viewed tacos as mediocre/ vanilla choices for food…. Thank you Vegan Nom for rocking my world and changing my perspective with a couple fabulously amazingly deliciously expertly prepared tacos. I had no idea vegan tacos could be so super delectable.
It might help that their chikn is Beyond Meat. It might help that the prices are ridiculously affordable.
I don't know what it is, but I dream about going back to Austin to eat here for some breakfast tacos and lunch tacos and repeat. I like that they let you add in more veggie goodness, like avocados, spinach and peppers. Then I can have everything I want in an edible wrapper.
The chorizo is awesome - brilliant blend of grains and meat substitute in a natural style. Yum. The grilled avocado is so good. The tortillas too, so good. Grilled anything by Vegan Nom in a taco - awesome.
GO and eat! Nom nom nom!
Pros: Price, Vegan, Super fresh delicious grilled/cooked hot
Cons: Cash only, Location

Best tacos you'll ever eat! - Edit
The Vegan Nom has got it going on when it comes to making kick-ass tacos!
They have basic 2 ingredient tacos if you want something simple/easy to eat while driving (you can add more ingredients if you want), and then they have a whole slew of rockin tacos with a little more detail...my faves are The Three Amigos: handmade vegan sausage, tofu scramble and daiya cheese, and The Vegan Del Ray (seriously outta this world): Breaded gluten-gree lemon-pepper mock fish (it's sooooo good) topped with fresh cabbage, avocado, and a super tasty cilantro-lime cream sauce. YUMMMM!
The tacos are always awesomely piping hot!
If you are tight on time, call your order in.

A First! - Edit
It was around 7:30 in the morning, on a Sunday, and i got one of the finest-tasting Vegan breakfast tacos one could imagine In fact, i never imagined a Vegan breakfast taco could be so tasty, nor at 7:30 am on a Sunday. A first of a kind!
It was so good, I drove back for another an hour later and the following weekend, and ... I will be enjoying Vegan tacos here into the future - hopefully a long future.
Pros: Very tasty, Inexpensive, Open very early, every day
Cons: Only one, Need more - like near my place

Best Breakfast Tacos - Edit
Austin is kind of known as the taco city so this is a must stop to get your fix. The tacos here are delicious and packed with yummy ingredients. The chipotle salsa is the best in town (can't wait till they bottle it and sell it!). Be sure to call in your order in the mornings so you don't have to wait too long because they are always busy. Good sign right? They have a taco of the month that is always unique and delicious.
Pros: Inexpensive, Tasty, Seating available
Cons: Outside if bad weather

yummy - Edit
The tacos are out of this world! The best scrambled tofu, hands down, I have ever eaten. The Queso dip was unexpectedly delicious.
Pros: great tasting, super fresh, cheap
Cons: needs more gluten free options, only takes cash, needs another location!
