I would give the food and staff 10 stars if I could! On my first visit we got a ton of food because everything sounded delicious and we had enough left over for a second meal. We got quesabirria tacos, guacamole with chips, and veganito adobada fries. Everything was A+ amazing. The adobada was incredible, the tacos were life-changing, the guacamole and jalapeños and salsa were perfect, even the chips alone are worth the trip! The folks at the counter were super friendly and helpful, too. The only downside is the location in a sketchy mall where it’s hard to find the food court if you’ve never been there before. But it’s worth it! Persist and you will be rewarded with the most delicious feast!

Amazing, fresh, delicious Vegan food! I love El Veganito. I recommend everything here. This visit I got the jackfruit Carnitas tacos. Please support local Vegan businesses.

The restaurant is fully vegan as the name says, this is mexican cuisine. I tried the Cali burrito and the portion size is huge almost twice as what I would get at Plant Power. I highly recommend this place for vegans or anyone wanting to try vegan food

After Google Maps took me to the back side of Macy's and said I had arrived, I ventured around the otherside of the building and found the Food Court where infact I found El Veganito. I am glad I did not give up. The service was fast and friendly with prices less than what was published on the internet. I got the Machaca with some fries and it was a delicious and filling meal. Definitely worth going back to try other menu items.

Truly a magical establishment. I love supporting all vegan restaurants. Their food, especially anything with the jackfruit carnitas is extraordinary. I usually hold off on the chipotle sauce as I find it overpowering to the whole ingredients. But the vegan sour cream is phenomenal. My favorites are the veganito fries with carnitas. The California burrito with carnitas. And the tacos de papa.
