Such an amazing find!! I saw this place on IG and told my friend who has been vegan for years. It was my first time at an all plant based restaurant and I was so impressed! Their loaded fries were crazy good, so much food and so much flavor. Their oreo cheesecake was also amazing! Atmosphere was great, very clean and decent amount of seating. Must try!

Definitely check The Vegan Vato out if you’re in the area! Vegans and meat eaters will love it. This vegan Mexican restaurant is amazing! I love that they don’t use fake meats, instead they use natural substitutes such as jackfruit and hibiscus. This place is definitely a 10/10! Also I absolutely love the amazing events they are always hosting. My husband and I attended a cooking class and it was an incredible experience!

This is located in the transportation center but the decor is really nice with a great vibe! The lady at the counter was exceptional. She explained everything on the menu to us and was happy to answer my questions about ingredients (I have a lot of allergies). The food not only looked but also tasted amazing. Really well done vegan food.

I totally forgot to add my review(until now) from my visit back in June 2024. I ordered 3 different tacos that were all fully satisfying. I also ordered the side of beans not knowing I would be too full (from the taco trio) to eat them. Yes, it is located in a transportation center but I didn’t feel that way while there eating. The flavors and service was top tier! I’ll definitely revisit when back in the area

Today was my first time trying vegan food and the vegan vato. Can I just say how surprised I was that I didn’t realize any difference from a regular taco. These tacos are really good and so is the rice. I will definitely be ordering again.

My husband and I stopped here on our road trip. What a treasure find! He had the Carne Asada burrito and I had the Carne Asada enchiladas. Both dishes were amazing and delicious. The sauces are incredible! My husband and I agree that it’s the best vegan restaurant we have ever been to. He is not vegan, but he loved the food! We will be stopping back on our way home from our trip. For non-locals like us, it is in the bus station at the end of the parking lot. Don’t miss out on the best vegan food

A little hard to find because it’s inside an old historic building/bus station and there’s some road construction. Very good and unique food. Clean. Flavorful. Hibiscus tacos and “fish” tacos were delicious. Try the three taco plate! Kids liked a plain bean burrito.

Food is great definitely will return. Very lovely small family business, they deserve all the support in the world their food is great. Parking leaves a lot to desire being its next to bus station however they make up for it in folds with hospitality and great food. Truly a gem in the rough.
