Taqueria Vegana located near Dupont and Symington is the only place where you can get 100% plant based Mexican food. Serving a variety of plant based tacos, burritos, quesabirrias, as well as sharable items (think impossible nachos, guac and chips, quesadilla...), there is something for everyone even if you are a meat eater. They also have lunch specials you can take advantage of as well. This location is primarily take out only although they do have a few tables indoors and patio tables outside.
I stopped by Taqueria Vegana on a weekday for lunch. There were already some customers waiting for their food but otherwise the place was not busy. I ordered a trio of tacos as well as a hibiscus Zamalek drink (from Montreal!).
For the tacos I ordered:
- Impossible chorizo (house-made impossible meat chorizo, charred onion, and potatoes)
- Carne Asada (charred and perfectly seasoned texturized soy protein)
- Seitan carnitas (braised seitan garnished with red pickled onion)
The tacos came with 2 salsas and some limes as well.
Staff were friendly and I ordered my tacos at the counter. I decided to eat on the patio and my food was made at a reasonable time (about 5 min wait). Staff brought out my food for me as well.
Tacos wise, I enjoyed all the ones I ordered, however, my favourite was the impossible chorizo tacos. The salsas were spicy and flavourful as well.
Overall, great new addition to the Junction Triangle. Definitely would return if I wanted some plant-based Mexican food!
