All-vegan Mexican dishes made scratch, famous for pineapple al pastor
"The entire menu at this taqueria happens to be completely vegan, highlighted by shredded jackfruit carnitas and seitan carne asada that are brought to life with soaks and seasonings. But the best thing here is the al pastor soy curls, marinated in adobo with hints of sweet pineapple and pork-like salty bits from the grill. Get it in a loaded burrito that bursts at the seams with vegan sour cream, guacamole, and creamy refried beans, and call it a day, or order the aforementioned carnitas stuffed into a buttery torta." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"We try to avoid too many superlatives here, but this vegan Mexican counter in Pioneer Square would be voted “most likely to succeed” in a yearbook. Rojo's works perfectly for a leisurely sit-down lunch (or a quick one), and here you’ll find plant-based alternatives like al pastor, asada, chick’n, and carnitas packed inside hefty burritos, tortas, and tacos. The faux carne asada’s meaty texture holds up well when stuffed into a bolillo loaf with refried beans, vegetables, and dairy-free sour cream, but the al pastor is by far the best protein on the menu. Marinated in adobo, it has hints of sweet pineapple combined with pork-like salty charred bits from the grill. Meat or no meat, these are tacos that deserve more than just “HAGS” on their yearbook’s autograph page." - aimee rizzo

"Pretty much every dish at this Pioneer Square Mexican spot is fantastic, and all are vegan. Soy curls for the al pastor version get marinated in adobo, with hints of sweet pineapple and pork-like salty charred bits from the grill (always the best part). Add a hefty scoop of cilantro and raw white onion and proceed to inhale these tacos in multiples of four." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
