Couldn't Be Happier

Cinco De Mayo and great vegan options, what could be better? Happy to be a "Tacotarian". It was a bit early for a margarita, but I was tempted ($5 for the special day).

Pros: Clean and efficient, Friendly staff, So many choices!

Beans!

The beans are amazing. I loved the bean and cheese taco! It was my favorite. Lots of options for different tacos. Salsas are also great. Go here!

Incredible Mexican food

The food here is amazing, I am always so impressed by what they manage to make good vegan versions of. The birria ramen (limited edition) is so good

Tacos done right!

The food here is amazing. This was my first time here, but definitely not my last. I am amazed at how they extract all of the various flavors from the different foods that I tried with perfection.

Pros: Mushroom taco, Jack fruit taco , Plantain taco

Great experience

Casual, spacious, counter service restaurant with great options and friendly service!
The taco platter offered a choice of taco flavors, and the coconut cake was delicious. If you’re after a non-alcoholic beverage, the house made pineapple soda is a must-try.

Pros: 100% plant based , Excellent service , Delicious food

So Good!

Walk up and order casual vegan Mexican. Burritos are huge with a choice of protein (seitan, seasoned Beyond Beef). Tons of menu choices including tasty margaritas. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Giant Taco

Two words: Giant Taco. Get one and thank me later.

Tacotarian has been on my list for a while, though I was expecting to visit the LV locations before SD - but as it happened we were on a road trip and the opportunity presented itself. We placed a pickup order that was extremely speedy. Tried out 4 regular tacos and the Giant Taco with carne asada. I love finding unique options like this - where else can one get a giant vegan taco?! It was outstanding and comes with "French fries, choice of "meat", refried beans, house nacho cheese, lettuce, guac, pico, crema, salsa morita". I enjoyed every single filling we got: fish taco (probably my favorite), mushroom asada, gabacho, chorizo, and carne asada - would get any of those again.

Pros: Variety, Delicious , Giant Taco

Plant Based Mexican!!!!

First of all, I was blown away by an all vegan Mexican restaurant. I already love San Diego, tacos, and vegan. I need to relocate 😍. I got the taco platter with the plantain, mushroom asada, and barbacoa tacos. The food portion was beyond filling. The platter can with rice, beans, and salad. Also, I got a side of guac. I went around 5:30pm during happy hour…1/2 off margaritas. The hibiscus flavor was great! Definitely coming back and hope to find more in other locations. #Veganuary

So many great tacos

Tons of choices and they’re all ridiculously good! Can get 4 different types of free salsas for them too. The pineapple agua fresca was out of this world too

Bring this chain to my city please!

I got the taco platter with mushroom asada (which was the best one), chorizo and a bean & cheese taco. It was pretty good but it'd be nice to have more hardshell options. The brunch menu looked so good but I had to try the tacos at a place called "Tacotarian." Would definitely try again.

Pros: Large menu, including brunch!!, Staff was so friendly and accommodating.

Amazing Food & Service

I've been here a few times, and the staff are always very patient, kind, and friendly. Everything on the menu is fully vegan and tastes great. I recommend the Taco Platter if you haven't been here before so you can try their different flavors. My favorites are the mole, mushroom, and al pastor.

Pros: Selection, Kind Staff, Happy Hour

So much variety

HUGE menu! With a brunch menu until 3pm. The cheese, vegan meats, and just egg are not made in house. Everything I ordered was delicious! The soup, the tacos. I think my favorite was the veggie taco and horchata was amazing 🥰

WOW, WOW, WOW

I finally made the trip back to San Diego and was thrilled to see that a fully vegan taco restaurant opened since my last visit. I literally stood at the counter trying to decide what to order for about 15 minutes. Everything looked absolutely incredible. We ended up sharing the nachos with mushroom asada, a couple street tacos, rice/beans, and queso dip. I honestly don’t think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. I think my favorite was the queso - the cheese was so melty and flavorful, and I loved the mushrooms in it. I would come back to San Diego just for this restaurant. Also, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. GO HERE!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing bad to say

Yummy vegan Mexican food!

Everything I've tried at Tacotarian has been great. The cheese they use in the quesadilla tastes like dairy cheese! Drinks are good too. Margaritas are on happy hour in the afternoon (I can't remember the exact times, I'm sorry). Traditional large plates with rice, beans, and small salad. Oh and parking is easy, right out front.

Authentic vegan Mexican food

A little on the greasy side but definitely worth it!

Authentic and approved by a Mexican (me)
I tried all the tacos and highly recommend going with the pastor option for burrito or tacos. Also the tacos were super greasy compared to the burrito so I recommend the burrito which came with a nice salad, rice and beans.
BUT if you get tacos it comes with 2 tortillas so you can double up the tacos you have by splitting the filling. 👅

The habanero is really good if you can handle heat. Dare you to go for this option.

Enjoy!

Pros: Big portions, Authentic , Many options

Cons: Greasy , Salty

A little disappointing

So many great options but haven't been overwhelmingly impressed and have had some negative experiences including a bad stomachache. Other times it was pretty good but not something to rave about.

Pros: Menu options

Cons: Lacked freshness
