Cauliflower taco

Their beer batter cauliflower taco is tasty, but to me was too spicy and it wasn’t advertised on the menu to be hot at all.
Else tasy, with many different textures and flavours to it! Good vegan option if you like spicy food.

Too many confusing modifications not worth it

Please note the flour tortillas are not vegan.

Falafel taco; Already 100% vegan

Beer battered Cauliflower modifications; no candied pepitas, no queso blanco, sub corn tortilla

Nashville hot tofu modifications; no napa slaw, no ranch crema, sub corn tortilla

Updated from previous review on 2022-10-27

Cons: needs complex modification for some items

Great taco spot

Perfect spot to stop if you're a vegetarian looking to grab some food with your carnivorous friends. Tacos were delicious! I got the Nashville tofu and the cauliflower tacos :)

Pros: Plenty of vegetarian options , Large portion size & very filling , Perfect tortillas; the foundation of a great taco

Cons: Could have more vegan options

Yummy Tacos

Like that the menu shows which items are vegetarian. Also the vegetarian tacos have their own menu section.

Pros: Vegetarian menu, 4 dedicated options, Yummy

Good tacos, for vegetarians

Don't misread the menus "v" for vegan like I did... great vegetarian options and can be altered to be vegan but wasn't overall worth it to me.

Cons: Have to alter most of the options to be made vegan

so boring

so boring. one vegan option which was a falafel taco in a lettuce wrap. quite embarrassing really. not very flavourful and a quite frankly desperate vegan option. wouldn’t come again

Cons: barely any vegan options

Nothing special

I got the falafel taco, it comes in a lettuce wrap which surprised me. Tasted nice but not filling at all, definitely not worth the cost. I think with tax it was like $12 for two.

Okay tacos

We got the 4 tacos they have that can be made vegan. In a city like Austin with so many great taquerias, Velvet Taco just doesn't make the cut.

They also didn't have any special sauces, which is always a red flag.

Pros: 4 options can be made vegan

Cons: Tacos are just okay, Tacos are $4+

Make it vegan!

Here is how I was told to make the vegetarian tacos vegan: swap the flour tortilla for corn, order no cheese or crema, and order no vinaigrette if you’re ordering the Buffalo taco (it has honey). Even with the swaps, the tacos with delicious! The falafel taco (comes in a lettuce wrap and is vegan without mods) and the buffalo taco were the best and the cauliflower was a close second.

4 types of veggie taco’s

Very nice taco’s! 4 types of vegetarian taco’s and the quest is also very good. Not sure is all the sauces are vegan and would have liked to received some water.
