Vegan Mexican restaurant in the heart of Oakland focusing on traditional Mexican dishes with roots in sustainability. Offers classic burritos, breakfast burritos, tacos, salads, and burrito bowls. Open Mon-Sun 10:00am-12:00am.
Food is INCREDIBLE (classic quickie Mexican, fluffy rice, delicious fake meats), but as other reviewers noted it's a ghost kitchen within a meat/cheese-based Mexican spot. As such, it's more like an omni restaurant with a separate vegan menu... So only giving 4 stars rather than the 5 their food would deserve.
The food is great, and I enjoy it a lot, but wanted to flag that it misleads itself as a fully vegan kitchen/restaurant. Wish Me Vegan is a ghost kitchen based out of Ole Ole Burrito Express where meat and dairy is served. If cross contamination is a major concern for you, it is still a risk here as meat is prepared on shared surfaces. The food really is great, especially if you're a junk food vegan looking for junk foody americanized mexican food, but just because of how unethical I find it to mislead yourself as a fully vegan restaurant, I feel the need to only rate two stars.
Tasty food and so much choice, the burritos are HUGE! They do breakfast burritos, classic burritos, bowls, salads and tacos. The tortilla wraps are so chewy and delicious.
Everything is so customisable, love to see a fully vegan authentic Mexican restaurant. Ordered from here 3 times during my stay in Oakland.

Da Bomb! - Edit
I got a street taco with Parsley Chik’n for Taco Tuesday and it was the best $2 I’ve ever spent.

Get on down there and get some!

Pros: Great selection , Great flavors , Great prices
Cons: Nothing fancy decor-wise, Side-by-side with a full meaty menu, Bit of a fly-by-night feel. Hope it lasts!
