Vegan Mexican eats with garden courtyard dining, tacos & tamales
"This Spring Branch restaurant dishes out vegan renditions of Mexican and Latin favorites. The menu features pozole rojo, burritos, tortas, creamy chile con queso, and tacos that can be filled with a variety of proteins, including soy al pastor, jackfruit, Mexican brisket from hibiscus, fajita-style mushrooms, soy bistec, and more. Some of its most popular items include the breakfast sliders, miniature sandwiches layered with Beyond sausage patties, Just Egg, vegan cheddar, and chipotle mayo, as well as the Crunchy Wrap, an all-vegan interpretation of Taco Bell’s Crunch Wrap Supreme." - Kayla Stewart
"Cascabel is where to go for all things vegan Mexican food. The small Spring Branch spot is full of folks snuggled into booths eating vegan tamales and warm bowls of pozole rojo. But it isn’t a worthwhile trip unless you get tacos. All Cascabel first-timers should get a platter to decide which plant-based taco is the best. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the answer is the smoked barbacoa wrapped in corn tortillas." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Mexican cuisine through a vegan lens is on the menu at this Spring Branch restaurant, where comforting staples like birria tacos with juicy barbacoa, cheesy poblano quesadillas, and vegan bistec chimichangas are crafted with handmade flour tortillas. The Taste of Cascabel is a convenient way to explore the restaurant’s best-selling proteins with a platter of eight different street-style tacos — all packed in supple corn tortillas. The platter comes with guacamole, vegan queso, rice, and refried beans for a complete feast." - Brianna Griff
"Cascabel is where to go for vegan Mexican food. Most folks here snuggle into booths eating plant-based tamales and warm bowls of pozole rojo. But no inaugural trip to Cascabel would be complete without a taco platter, which comes with your choice of five tacos on either corn or flour tortillas. Make sure you get your hands on the soy-based smoked barbacoa wrapped in a corn tortilla." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Cascabel is where to go for all things vegan Mexican food. The small Spring Branch spot is vibrant, and most folks are snuggled into booths eating vegan tamales and warm bowls of pozole rojo. But it isn’t a full trip to Cascabel without getting tacos. All Cascabel first-timers should get a platter to decide which plant-based taco is their favorite. But if you’re looking for the best taco, grab a plate of the smoked barbacoa wrapped in corn tortillas." - Gianni Greene
