I recently visited Taqueria Vegana to try their tacos and quesabirria. I was excited to finally taste the birria quesadillas because I usually can’t get birria tacos anywhere since they’re normally non-vegetarian. But at this vegan spot, I got lucky and was able to try them on the weekend.
As soon as I entered, one thing I noticed was how clean the place was. There was no greasy or unpleasant smell like you sometimes find in small restaurants. It looked neat and well-maintained. The place is more for takeout than dining in. There aren’t many tables, and most of the orders seemed to come through Uber Eats. Only a few people came in to eat.
I ordered a carne asada taco, an al pastor taco, and the quesabirrias. The quesabirrias came in a set of three with a side of flavorful broth. I liked everything I ordered, but I didn’t find the quesabirrias to be crispy. They got quite soggy. Since it was my first time trying them, I’m not sure if that’s how they’re supposed to be or if they’re usually crispier.
Both tacos were tasty. The flavors were nice, and I almost wanted to try more items on the menu just to see what else they offered. But I was already full. One highlight for me was the vegan cheese in the quesabirrias—it had a stretchy, mozzarella-like texture, which was new to me and really enjoyable.
The broth that came with the quesabirrias was thin but full of flavor. I personally wish it had been a little thicker so I could dip the quesadillas better and soak up more of it.
They also included two dips—one that seemed like a jalapeño dip and the other like a red pepper dip. Both were supposed to be spicy, but I found them pretty mild.
One thing to watch out for: if you’re driving there, be careful. There’s a large pothole right in front of the restaurant, and parking is very tight. The area gets full quickly, and the road conditions aren’t great, which might be one reason people prefer ordering takeout instead of dining in.
Overall, I’d rate this place a 3 out of 5. The food was good, the place was clean, and I’d definitely go back to try more. Just be mindful of the parking situation!
