If I had to sum up my experience in one word, it would be disappointed
Tania’s has always been one of my favorite places. As someone who doesn’t eat meat often, I’ve loved having so many vegetarian options that are generous, delicious, and worth the price. Sadly, this visit was nothing like my past experiences. I don’t know what’s going on with ownership or management, but something has definitely changed—and not for the better.
I came with my family, four of us in total. Right away, the first impression wasn’t welcoming. The young woman working the front counter seemed disengaged, almost like she didn't want to be there. She wasn't friendly, didn’t smile, and certainly didn't give off the warm atmosphere I've come to expect here.
When I ordered, I asked for vegan queso on the side and was told they didn’t have any. My boyfriend’s burrito was also supposed to have queso in it, but she didn’t mention they were out when he ordered. He only found out when his burrito arrived without it, and when he asked, she told him they were out.
She also didn’t give us an itemized receipt, so I couldn’t even verify what was entered for the cook to make.
-Our Orders
My son and daughter each ordered a breakfast plate. They enjoyed their food, but my son pointed out that for the cost, his plate had far less food than my boyfriend’s burrito, even though many of the ingredients were the same, and he was still hungry after finishing it.
My boyfriend ordered the XL Carne Asada & everything, it was enormous, so full he had to eat it with a knife and fork. It was filling up the entire to go box that it came in!
I ordered the Large Coliflor & everything, which is where everything fell apart.
The “& everything” option costs $3 more because it’s supposed to come with extra toppings and ingredients.
-My Burrito
Mine was supposed to be a large burrito, but it was smaller than the regular burritos I used to get here years ago. It collapsed in on itself when I picked it up, and while it did have other vegetables, the cabbage, one of the main fillings, was barely there, just a few pieces sprinkled in instead of a proper amount.
I went to the counter to ask for more cabbage. Then, after checking the menu, I realized it was missing cooked carrots too, so I had to go back again. Once those were added, the burrito was now filled out a little more and tasted good, but later I realized it was still missing pico de gallo.
By the end, I basically had to build my own burrito just to make it close to what I ordered. This is a vegetarian burrito, vegetables are far cheaper than meat, so there’s no excuse for skimping on them.
It makes me wonder how often this happens with take-out orders or catering from here, where customers don’t realize ingredients are missing until it’s too late to fix them.
I’ve been eating at Tania’s for years and have always loved their vegetarian and vegan menu. But after seeing other recent reviews and now having my own disappointing experience, I won’t be coming back. I work hard for my money and expect to get what I ordered, not be shorted on ingredients and have to fix my own meal.
Tania’s, please figure out what’s going on and fix it quickly. This is not the same Tania’s I used to love.
