Absolutely Delicious! - Edit
Cute little restaurant tucked away in a corner. I cannot wait for you to grow to something bigger! I have tried almost everything, and they never disappoint! Today, I had the trio street tacos with asada and avacado sauce. Sooooo goood! Not just the food is great, so is the staff. Super cool and friendly. Stay the same. Viva Vegan!

Greasy and gross - Edit
Although the food has a lot of flavor it was extremely oily, tiny portions, the bathroom smelled of sewer and the dining area was cramp. Half of the menu items were crossed out. Would not recommend eating at this location.

Stunning - Edit
Fresh, delicious, authentic but VEGAN, quick, friendly. We’ve had birra tacos, burritos, taquitos, whole beans and rice- each time, our entire conversation was about how good the food was.

Que Rico! - Edit
Ordered: Birria Melt, Taco Al Pastor, OG Asada Burrito and an Horchata
Read moreThe Birria melt was quite flavorful, had a touch of a spicy kick and the there was plenty of vegan cheese which all packed between two crispy crunchy slices of sourdough. The thick fries that came with the Birria melt were salted nicely. The taco al pastor had excellent flavor and texture on the al pastor. The OG asada burrito was sizable and it was delicious, it had a sweet flavor, maybe from the onions, I think there could be a little more variety on the textures in the burrito, everything was of the same soft consistency, it was delicious overall. Horchata was great, bought one large to share, next time I’m ordering one for each. We came here on Christmas Eve and the restaurant was packed. Through the many orders the staff was all friendly and helpful and everyone at the restaurant was pretty relaxed. We will be back.

Whoa delicioso 😍 - Edit
Love this place! Authentic dishes and flavor. Recommend for any non-vegan to try & experience awesome vegan tacos, pozole, tortas, birria, mole, chile relleno etc, it's been Mexican mom approved. Offers different menu of the day besides the a la carte menu.(Haven't seen vegan capirotada or these dishes served anywhere else)
Read moreHaven't tried everything on the menu but love it so far. Would gladly support their sister restaurant Viva Vegan diner in Upland. Really cool & friendly staff, bunch of darkss & espookys up in there lol.
I'll just comment that the food is overall a lil on the greasy side but all is forgiven.

I’ve been a customer for a while before they had their permanent spot and everything was always amazing. Then I tried their quesabirria and it was game over. So freaking delicious, definitely worth the visit.

Good grub - Edit
We were finally able to try this place after drooling over their social media posts for a long time. We really appreciated being able to pre-order on the website and do an easy pick-up during the lunch rush. We ordered the carnitas jackfruit OG burrito and the al pastor OG burrito; both were quite good. The tortillas were flaky, blistered, semi-transparent, and sturdy - the perfect vehicle. The proteins, beans and rice were all decent. The bar for excellence for Inland Empire vegan Mexican food, however, was definitely set by Just Vegana who always nailed every single element. That being said, we will happily return to Viva Vegan whenever we’re in the area.

Authentic Mexican flavors! - Edit
Whatever you do just don’t hesitate to check this spot out you will not regret it. It’s definitely worth the drive if you’re a bit out of the vicinity.
Read moreSo I ordered the al pastor tacos, jackfruit carnitas, quesabirria crunchy taco and an horchata. Everything was so delicious and flavorful! I especially enjoyed their al pastor tacos. It is definitely one of the best al pastor tacos I’ve had to date that is perfectly seasoned.
They are known for their tasty birria veg meat but they do offer a well rounded delicious and flavorful menu with plenty of options. A couple small critiques I do have is the horchata was a little thin on flavor and the crunchy taco is bit too oily for my taste but still good. However If you’re coming with an appetite make sure to order plenty of food as you’re likely to devour your meal and wanting more.
