The best blackened mushrooms - Edit
The absolute best Mexican food I have eaten as a vegan! This spot is INCREDIBLE! The server was delighted to answer any questions and I could clearly see the kitchen was kept orderly with no cross contamination. I got the blackened mushroom tacos and they were fantastic. The guacamole is also amazing. I had my meal with a few margaritas and I can not wait to go back!

Good Classic Mexican Food in Dive Bar - Edit
Came here after several recommendations from non-veg friends. A few vegan options available such as mushroom and tofu tacos, fajitas, and veggie burrito (order without cheese or sour cream). It is nice to find a Mexican restaurant that does NOT use lard or chicken stock in their cooking! They also cook in canola oil, not butter. I wasn’t blown away by the food but it was good for easy Mexican food at a great price. Place is small and a bit dive-y but staff were friendly and no issues with ordering vegan. Chips and guac were best I’ve had in Long Beach! I will definitely be going back to try some other vegan menu items.

Fun 🌮, 🍺 & 🌯 Spot - Edit
Used to come in here fairly often as a vegetarian. My boyfriend and I are now both vegan, so I was hoping we could easily veganize my favorite menu items and I was in luck! We shared the blackened mushroom tacos and the deluxe veggie burrito. The rice which comes on the side of the burrito is vegan, just make sure to order the deluxe veggie without cheese or sour cream. The mushroom taco order doesn't need to be adjusted to be vegan. They have drink specials daily, so you can usually get a reasonably priced beer to enjoy your food with. I liked taking some of the guacamole which comes on the side of the burrito and having it with my taco, along with the house salsa as it seemed like it was needed to balance out the acidity of whatever the mushrooms were cooked with. My eating partner for the eve really enjoyed and preferred the flavor of the blackened shrooms solo. I remember loving the extra cheesy version of the deluxe, back in the day but without the cheese and sour cream it is a much cleaner taste, the pieces of avo in the avocado corn relish stand out more, as does the sweet and crisp jicama laced throughout the wrap. Don't get me wrong though, it still makes for one filling burrito. For being an almost hole in the wall omni place, which isn't shy to use meat and cheese, this spot has quite a few options for vegans and vegetarians. Ordering tofu, mushroom or veggie seems to be an option throughout the menu though. Enjoy!

Not as Good as It Used to Be - Edit
I used to come to Cocorenos pretty regularly. It's where me and my non-veg boyfriend could both find something good on the menu.
Read moreUnfortuanately, last time I went I was disappointed that they no longer offered the mushroom taco. It was outstanding. Now, they just have vegetable taco on the menu and it's just full of onions and bell peppers. They also put cheese on them after I told them no cheese.
It's a small place so I started taking it to go. I think they give you free chips if you eat there....unless that's changed as well. It's the worst feeling when a good place goes bad.
Pros: Good rice and beans
Cons: Check your food before you leave

cozy joint with delicious veggie options - Edit
A small place with a bar and pool table area in back. Very tasty, loved the blackened mushroom tacos. There are more veggie options here than many other places which makes it worth it. Cozy, charming, more of a bar hang out place. I hear the meat dishes are ok, that other places are better, but if that's not the concern, then at least the veggie faire here is delicious!

Vegan Friendly! - Edit
Lovely staff who are really honest about what's vegan and what's not, and willing to accommodate special needs. Yummy tofu, mushroom, etc. burritos and tacos. My absolute favorite thing to order here is the tofu fajitas - you get a large plate of food, so it's really worth the price. Coco Renos has both vegan beans (both black and refried are vegan!) and rice available, and the homemade salsa is amazing (and sometimes, amazingly spicy! - but luckily I like it like that ;) ). You can eat in their small taco shop, or pass through the open door-way into the adjacent bar (The Reno Room) and eat there. The Reno Room has a decent happy hour on Friday afternoons, so you can enjoy your delicious Mexican food with a cheap beer. I love Coco Renos!!

Vegetarian Taco Platter - Edit
This listing on their menu had me VERY excited. The platter comes with two tacos, rice and beans (black or refried). The service was fast, too. However, I was a bit disappointed that the vegetarian tacos consisted of rice and black beans. Had I known that, I would have just ordered the two sides (as the platter already contained more of the same). So, I had plenty of rice and black beans (some of which were just placed in taco shells). Strange...but true. On the good side, the black beans and rice were seasoned well. Just wish that I had known that my vegetarian taco was coming with more rice and black beans. Needless to say...not the right meal to eat prior to flying back home.

Tofu Tacos - Edit
Not 100% vegetarian, but they have some great options. I love going here for a filling burrito or tofu tacos. They are very vegetarian friendly and will answer all your questions (no lard, etc.) For a non-veg restaurant, I have to say Yum!
