Customer Reviews
When we walked in and heard “vegetarian”, we almost walked out. But we decided to give the place a try, and we were pleasantly surprised. The vegetarian tacos were amazing! There was a wide range of flavours, and we got to choose 3 different vegetarian taco flavours. The prices are quite high though, considering the size of the portions.
I just want to have a light lunch after museum visit, so Taco without meat sounded like a good option. The order is on a tablet, easy enough, but on a busy day a person would be a lot quicker. After spending some time on the screen, I ordered sweet potato and carrot tacos, both have nice flavor. The carrots are a little hard, but still ok. I am a little disappointed with the green rice (recommended by some reviewer), the one I had today is dry, and I don’t quite get the taste. Restaurant is pretty and spacious.
The food was so delicious. First, their tortillas are out of this world. Thick enough to support the taco fillings with no risk of ripping, warm & so tasty. If they sold their tortillas alone, I would go nowhere else for my tortillas. And you can watch them make the tortillas in house! *chefs kiss* The sweet potato hash taco was my favorite. Definitely one for the sweet potato lovers, the salsa on it is so flavorful. The creamy kale & potato was not as exciting, but I think it was just the texture of potato in a taco that didn't quite gel for me. EDIT: they DO sell their tortillas, and I definitely brought some home with me.
Excellent food, super fast service but a nice place to sit down and eat as well. The simple tacos let the vegetables and handmade tortillas shine. All the salsas were delicious! Love that the restaurant is totally nut free and they have tons of vegan options. Highly highly recommend
The BEST vegan tacos I've had they're so flavorful and really highlight the vegetables used, but they also serve beyond tacos for those who prefer meaty flavors. I got the 5 vegan taco sampler (no cheese) and each one was uniquely flavored and literally exciting to eat! If I lived near here I would go so often. Their service is also fast and was prepared in literally 5 minutes. Their mushroom taco was my favorite and I can easily see why it is so popular, definitely check them out if you're in the area!
