Best tacos

All vegan, so many choices! I had the taco platter with asada (my favorite), bean & cheese and the Jackfruit one. Wish though they'd list on their menu or online if their crema & cheese was nut based.

Scrumptious quesabirria + breakfast burrito

Tacotarian’s entrance is wide-open and incredibly inviting thanks to their friendly staff. My girl and I went here for brunch and got the ooey-gooey quesabirria, the absolutely STACKED breakfast burrito, and a vibrant tasting taco platter with sides of orange juice and horchata espresso. The interior has a laid-back and relaxing vibe that is heightened by their diverse style of furniture. Great stop for anytime day!

Pros: The atmosphere, The portion sizes, quality, and taste of the food, They have a sick merch section

Everything was excellent!

We came to San Diego to tour the vegan food scene. This place was absolutely perfect! Excellent customer service. Outstanding tacos.

We had the nachos with asada, two orders of street corn, and 12 assorted tacos…. Which was a good amount for the four of us.

The street corn was OK. Everything else was out of this world. Better than what we are used to at even our favorite spots in LA and Long Beach.

We will be back!

Excellence

This place is one of the best vegan restaurants in SD. I’ve been to this one and the one in vegas. The food is always fresh and and the staff is amazing. The alcoholic beverages are a little weak but that’s not what we go here for. I will still rate this place 5 star

Pros: Ambiance , Customer service , Food

Cons: Weak alcohol beverages

Best tacos of my life

I had the taco trio with Barbacoa, asada, and al pastor tacos, and all 3 were the best tacos I've ever had before. Tortillas were delicious, and the vegan meats were seasoned perfectly. Rice and beans were nothing to write home about, but I did enjoy mango margarita, as well!

Taco Paradise

I just discovered this place about 6 months ago. It was an amazing experience. It's 100% vegan and the tacos are inspired by the famous street tacos in Mexico. I wanted to try all of them, but i was born with one stomach, so...sigh! Ha ha! I've had the Queso Fundido app and Guacamole, both of which I recommend. I've also tried most of the tacos and have not been disappointed. Tacotarian is a gem in our community!

Pros: Everything I've tried, Friendly staff, Clean drink options

Cons: Not open 24 hours. 😒

My Taco Tuesday

I absolutely love this place. I love that I have a place to go to on Taco Tuesday or any other day. I love the Carne Asada fries and nachos.  They always hit the spot!

Tasty but a bit pricey

I went for three tacos with rice and beans. It felt very overpriced for the amount I got. However it tasted good and was a first time for me. And to my untrained pallet it seemed authentic and tasted awesome.

Everything is good!

This is the 3rd Vegan Restaurant in this particular space. The other two didn’t make it. This place is sooo good. I really hope they cracked the code. I highly recommend them for the standard or brunch menus. So far, I’ve tried their fish tacos, flautas, Al Pastor Taco, Plantain Con Mole, Breakfast 🌯 Burrito, Chicken And Waffle Sandwich, and Chilaquiles. Take friends so you can try more things! Their horchata is divine! Keep them open with your business!

Delicious all vegan tacos!!

This place is all vegan and has an assortment of tacos, burritos, and misc. We tried the Al pastor, plátano con mole, fish, and baja tacos. All of them were delicious, but the Al pastor was my favorite. We also had the carne asada fries which were pretty good. Don’t skip on the taki elote because it was fuego 🔥🔥🔥 also loved the horchata and the jamaica.

Pros: All vegan, Lots of taco flavors , Good vibes

Came for the food, stayed for the michis

Breakfast burrito was great! I asked if they can make it wet and they said yes but gave me the sauce on the side because they didn’t want to get the salsa on the fruit. I understand, but think putting the fruit in a cup or separate plate would have been an easy fix. Micheladas were amazing!!

Pros: Vegan micheladas

Fell in love with street tacos

I’m usually not a big fan of street tacos, but Tacotarian has won my heart. I love their barbacoa made with jackfruit. Young jackfruit can be chewy and stringy, but theirs is tender and sooo yummy. My husband enjoyed the asada fries, and my mom can’t stop raving about the nachos. Even my sister who is not vegan really liked the food. We all shared a piece of coconut cake. It pretty much blew our minds. The texture is like flan! Everything was so delicious, I forgot to take pictures. Lol

Super Cute!

I loved this place - super good food, super clever "gimmicks" (putting pictures of memes on their drinks based on the drink name), super friendly staff. My only regret is that I only had time to eat there once on this trip!

Pros: Tons of Options, Friendly Staff, Cute Decor

Cons: Wait Times, Loud

Delicious food

We got flautas, tacos, elote, horchata and Jamaica.

The food was unreal, and the horchata was really creamy. I've not had much Mexican food, but my boyfriend has roots in Tijuana and also really liked it. There were some good twists on classics. Portion sizes were great, and all the food was packed with flavour. Would love to go again.

Pros: Loads of options as fully vegan restaurant , The horchata was perfect, Lots of flavour
