Chula Vista’s Best Vegan Tacos

Vegan hidden gem in Chula Vista, a must visit for their delicious and filling tacos! The birria taco was amazing and paired with some of the best vegan cheese I’ve ever had!

Pros: Birria taco, Asada taco, Tres Leches

An absolute must

Fantastic food, packed with flavors. They do not use any oils. All clean and delicious food. Owner, Brenda, is super nice and helpful/knowledgable. It is located within an industrial park type complex and has a small indoor seating area. Loved the tacos, sopes, charcoal lemonade and the guava cake🤤

Small place, big taste

The hours are limited, but if you're nearby and needing lunch, this is a great place to go. The menu is just the right size between big enough, but not overwhelming. I got three tacos (birria, carne asada, and papas con chorizo) and they were all excellent. I think that I liked the carne asada best though.

Cons: Limited hours

SO GOOD!!

This place is exactly what Chula Vista needed! I ordered three tacos—mole, chile colorado, and rajas con crema—and a mango smoothie. Everything was absolutely delicious; I devoured it all before I even thought of taking a picture 😭 The flavors were incredible, and I can’t wait to come back. Muchas gracias!

Pros: Good variety , Mexican flavor, Fresh and tasty food

Fresh, wholesome, delicious, no oil, WFPB!

My wife and I dined at Uumbal for the first time today. What a treat to find a vegan eatery that serves Whole Food Plant Based meals, uses no oil, and offers date-sweetened (and mostly gluten-free) desserts!

We enjoyed chatting with the delightful owner, Brenda, who was inspired to go vegan several years ago when her mother was given only months to live with a supposedly incurable illness.

Brenda researched the benefits and learned to prepare WFPB vegan meals, which have contributed to keeping her mother alive and thriving to this day.

In addition to Uumbal, Brenda became a nutritional health coach focused on personalized meal prep and cleanses for people suffering from various medical issues. A true vegan inspiration!

Incredible-new favorite

Unassuming restaurant but the food is amazing! We definitely needed a place like this here in Chula. The menu seems to change a bit (been twice in the past week) but is standard tacos, sopes, quesadillas, tostadas and a few other items. They have a bunch of juices made in house to accompany your meal. The “cheese” and “crema” are some of the best I’ve ever had. Entrees are a mix of veggies and fake meats-all super tasty!! The owner is super nice as well and welcoming. I’m recommending this place to all my friends and family, vegans and omnivores alike.

Pros: Authentic flavors, Traditional options , Friendly service, homemade feel

Absolutely delicious

The food is inspired by Mexico City and it is absolutely delicious.

The ingredients are so fresh. We had a variety of tacos and smoothies and it all tasted right from the garden. The salsa was so good and they also have the best smoothies I have ever had. Yum!

Everyone was so nice and welcoming.

Highly recommend this spot for your next food adventure.

Everything was delicious

I found this Uumbal on HappyCow after having a meeting nearby. The owners are a mother–daughter team, and they were very friendly and passionate about plant based food. I wasn’t sure what to get so they helped me decide on a crunchy taco, gordita, and a tostada. All three were delicious and reasonably priced. The hot sauce was a perfect blend of heat and flavor. I’ll definitely be back.

Mexican Plant Based restaurant/health store

Visited the location that appears to be mostly a food prep business with a take out or small sit down area option. We tried the “chicken” sandwich with fries, gorditas (bean and cheese, rajas con crema, papa con chorizo, and mole), and a carrot cake to go. And tried three different juices. All were very tasty! Staff was attentive and informative. Definitely give this spot a try if you’re in the Southbay/Chula Vista area.

Pros: Menu, Location , Authentic and vegan
