Great Vegan Tacos, Rice and Black Beans served with a big smile! - Edit
Clean and bright with plenty of indoor seating, great service and a hands on manager. A women owned business and it shows in the attention to details. My wife had a Tamarindo Margarita and i had an alcohol free beer and both were exceptional. I had the three taco platter with Vegan, Barbacoa, and Mushroom Asada Black Beans and Rice while my wife opted for a Gabacha and a Baja Taco and the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich for dessert. Love it and going bach for Taco Tuesday and a Brunch soon.
Read morePros: Milan, the manager, great hands on service!, Tacos, need I say more?, Great beverage selection!
Cons: Parking is hidden behind through alley

It was okay - Edit
I’ve been trying to find a good Mexican food and found this place. We ordered the Birria platter and a Cali burrito. It was ok only. The flavor is alright. Maybe I just need to try other dishes on the menu and see if that can change my mind.

Amazing Vegan Taco Spot - Edit
I've been to this place a half-dozen times, and they always deliver. I haven't had a taco from there that I haven't enjoyed, and their drinks and other food items are great as well. Highly recommend checking them out if you love tacos.

Tasty Vegan Bites - Edit
I recently tried Tacotarian and had a pretty good experience overall.
Read moreFor the appetizer, I ordered the cheese fondue, and the cheese itself was really good—super flavorful and creamy. It came with plenty of bella mushrooms (which aren’t really my favorite), along with corn, diced tomatoes, and three flour tortillas. If you’re a mushroom lover, you’ll probably really enjoy this dish—it just wasn’t totally my thing.
For tacos, I tried a few different ones. The El Dorado taco, which had mashed potatoes, cheese, and pico, was okay—nothing bad, just not super memorable. I also had another taco with a small piece of sweet plantain; I wish it had more because the flavor was nice. The mole sauce on that one was actually really good and stood out the most. I also had a taco with fried avocado in beer batter topped with more guacamole, which was pretty good too.
For dessert, we got the fried Oreos with vanilla ice cream —crispy, sweet, and super satisfying.
The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly, which I always appreciate. Overall, it was a solid experience with a few standout items, especially the dessert and mole sauce.

truly delicious tacos - Edit
the food and service here are great! i love the location and design of the restaurant, and was super excited to try out some new vegan food. they have a very solid menu selection, and i like how many protein options they have.
Read morei tried the nachos and the taco platter, which were both delicious! the vegan proteins are very well made, and i thought that the sauces and flavor combinations were very well thought out. personally, my favorite taco that i tried was the plantain taco as it was unique in terms of flavor profile. the guac is also made fresh here and was quite tasty. the food also came out really fast given that there were quite a few people ordering and eating in the restaurant.
it was a little bit loud inside the restaurant, but it wasn't crazy or anything. overall, i would definitely recommend tacotarian for some quick service and delicious tacos!
Pros: great taco selection, spacious and friendly location
Cons: a bit expensive

a little off - Edit
portions were great, i liked the rice and beans but the cali burrito was very strange to me. taste was just off? tasted more like a cheeseburger than a burrito. always grateful for a fully vegan restaurant though.

Good not great. - Edit
I seem to be in the minority here, most everyone else in the app leaves rave reviews, but the food was a little bland for me. Could’ve used some more spices, hottest hot sauce option was not spicy and my tolerance is not that high. Kinda felt like a glorified vegan fastfood taco/burrito and I expected my mind to be blown based on the reviews.
Read moreHorchata was great. Good portions for the price. Nice staff and ambience. I’d try it again and order something else. I had the potato tacos and the al pastor burrito.

No taste - Edit
Food came out in literally five minutes and it was so bland. Tried 4 tacos and nachos and more. Go to city tacos for good vegan and vegetarian tacos. They never disappoint.

Delicioso! - Edit
The flautas were crispy and amazing, the fish, plantain con mole, al pastor and barbacoa tacos were also equally good (recommended by the friendly staff). This place is a must-try because you will most definitely enjoy. 10/10
