Blue Tamal

I haven’t had tamales since going vegan many years ago. It was so wonderful to see it on their separate vegan menu! One very large blue tamal comes with veggies, rice & black beans. Very fresh, tasty, and filling.

Pros: Adorable Patio Seating, Friendly Staff, Vegan Menu

Quick and Convenient and Fresh!

It is amazing what happens when you use Happy Cow and find a great Mexican place in a town you come to often. Tortilla Real has fresh, well-prepared and healthy Vegan dishes that are delicious and fresh. This is definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants for Vegans in Petaluma.

Good food, seperate vegan menu

Afyer hearing that they have a separate vegan menu, we decided to stop by for dinner. Overall the food and service were both good. I’m not sure that I’d go out of my way to eat there, but if you’re in the area it’s a nice spot.

Pass

I was so excited for the vegan wet burrito. Ive been craving on for what feels like years and was so excited they had the option. I ate half and was violently ill after. I'm unsure as to why it made me so sick but I don't think I would ever give this place another chance after that. I'll stick to just making my own again.

Cons: Food poisoning? Or something else

Great dinner place

They have a plant based menu! They don't bring it but it's available ! They do great cocktails. I had tacos and I also taste the burrito. Everyone was happy about what they had! Service is good. I highly recommend this place !

Pros: good food, good music, plant based menu

Cons: not all vegan

Chicken in vegan burrito

There were small pieces of chicken in my vegan burrito. Absolutely disgusting

Sorry to hear that. Did they have any response? I’ve been there a bunch and never had that happen. I’ll message Luis about it too.

It was a pickup order, so I already was home when I saw the chicken in it

Sooooo good!!!

The blue masa tortillas are so good! Authentic recipes from the owner’s childhood. They get everything local and you can taste it. Best vegan Mexican food I’ve ever had!

Pros: A ton of vegan options! And great margaritas!, Fresh ingredients!, Beautiful space.

Good food with some vegan options

Nice restaurant with good quality food and the rice and sauces are safe for vegans.

There was no special separate vegan menu, but just items marked on the menu that are inherently or can be vegetarian and depending on what it is you might have to ask for no dairy. I had the vegetarian burrito and it doesn't come with cheese or sour cream so no substitution was needed.

Oh, sorry, now I understand your first comment. Thanks for the heads up! Next time I'll look for the separate menu.

I messaged Luis the owner asking him to have the waitstaff bring the vegan menu along with the regular menu to the table. He said they would start that. We have to ask for it too. But automatically bringing one is what they should do. I’ll delete all these posts tomorrow so it’s not a cluttered up mess😜 TR has some pretty good plant based food.

Excellent Plant-based menu

Fantastic vegan Mexican options, a whole separate “plant-based menu” that for some reason isn’t on their website. Two good soups (pozole and tortilla), two taco types (soy chorizo, avocado) a vegan blue-corn tamal with nothing inside but topped with cilantro stewed zucchini, carrot, corn and served with incredibly well-cooked black beans, Mexican rice and homemade tortillas. Really nice (huge) salad (two options again), and slightly-spicy guacamole served with jicama spears instead of tortilla chips.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Who knew black beans could be this good!, Nice outdoor seating

Cons: Limited agua fresca options (only jamaica today)

Fresh

Good fresh Mexican food! They have a separate vegan menu with a nice selection to choose from. The vegetables are always fresh and never overcooked or mushy. The guacamole, pico de gallo and chips are delicious. And the owner Luis oversees the food and service assuring his customers are satisfied and he s super nice.

Pros: Good selection of vegan dishes, Fresh vegetables that aren’t overcooked

Fresh whole foods

I’ve ordered takeout from this place at least 3 times now. Everything was completely fresh and felt good to eat. A disclaimer - my tastebuds don’t handle spicy foods at all so for me, any sort of dish with peppers at all ran very spicy and hard to impossible to eat (like the guacamole). But it was still good food so I don’t want to ding them for all the normal people out there who can enjoy spicy foods. My favorite (and not spicy at all) dish were the avocado and cabbage tacos. I had never tried tortilla soup before but they offer a vegan version so I tried that. I don’t know what that dish is meant to be like, but I thought it would have tortilla strips in the soup. Maybe because mine was delivered it got missed. The soup itself was extremely light and mild in flavor. Overall, a great option for vegans.

Good Mexican food!

Had a couple emails with owner Luis about their food. He said they use veggie bouillon in the beans and rice.
I ordered the burrito and it was yummy. Crisp veggies, carrots, zucchini, onions, corn, beans and rice. Had a side of spicy sauce.
Wife had tortilla soup and liked it.

When they sauté the veggies it’s with broth and olive oil. I asked for no olive oil and they were able to do.

This is plant based food.

Glad to see they did not just put beyond or impossible on menu and call it good.
