One of my top fave for tacos - Edit
The food was very flavorful. I brought two non-vegan coworkers, and the pressure was on. This was their first time having a vegan meal. They were both thrilled and gave it two thumbs up. I am very picky when it comes to food, and they delivered. I had the tacos and they are up there with my top best tacos I've had. I'm coming back for sure.

Creative Vegan Cuisine - Edit
Vegan Vato is just getting started but I think they are going to be a very popular place for years to come. The best part about this new vegan restaurant (besides being in the High Desert) is their creative vegan “meat” choices. I think they could shrink the portions a little bit and still charge the same money. My burrito was massive and would be easier to eat if it was just smaller. Otherwise it was really delicious! I will be returning here as my go to spot now!

Vibrant Vegan Food Comes to Victorville! - Edit
The Vegan Vato is a newly opened brick and mortal restaurant created by couple Damion and Amber Carlos after many years of providing vegan food at various farmer’s markets.
Read morePrior to visiting the restaurant, I contacted them via Instagram regarding the use of nuts in their menu items. I appreciate that my message was responded to my message quickly with the answer that they use hemp and pumpkin seeds but are those are not currently available. I later learned that their chipotle sour cream contains cashews so beware of this if you have a nut allergy.
Menu options are the Barrio Burrito, Taco Trio, Loco Nachos, Loaded Fries, Enchiladas and Taco Salad Bowl.
Vegan “meat” options are pollo which is citrus flavored shredded jackfruit, carne asada which is traditional flavored hibiscus flowers roasted with mixed bell peppers, chorizo which is crispy potatoes and toasted cauliflower in an authentic sauce, Baja style fish which is crunchy seasoned battered portobello mushroom, and Burris which is tender hibiscus flowers with shaved portobello mushrooms in a flavorful spice blend consume.
Sides include tacos, rice, black beans, fries, avocado and extra protein.
The sauce lineup consists of salsa, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sour cream and several topping ingredients.
Drink choices are bottle water, sparkling water, or bottled juice.
Upon arriving, we were warmly welcomed by one of the restaurant owners. After ordering from the menu, we enjoyed the colorful waiting area and took one of the free stickers promoting the new business.
I ordered a taco salad topped with the Baja style fish along with a side of rice and hubby ordered the loaded fries with a combination of the pollo, carne asada, and chorizo meats. Fries were made fresh which was a plus.
My taco bowl was delicious and perfectly cooked and the mushrooms were crispy, yet moist and very filling.
The rice was fragrant and fluffy. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed the tacos and especially liked the carne asada meat.
The restaurant is already showing signs of popularity by selling out of three days worth of food within the first and second days of officially opening. Hopefully, they’ll soon balance the amount of food available to meet the needs of the vegan and vegan curious customers and become a must visit restaurant in Victorville.
