    Two Carne Asada Street Tacos
    Dante C.

    One of the best Vegan Mexican restaurants I've ever been to! Reminded me of my favorite vegan taco stand I visited in Tulum. Jocelyn the cashier/server was so kind she gave us great suggestions and even gave us a Jicama Fresca on the house. Thanks again! Tacos and Nachos were so good!! Love the asada. Getting extra avocado on the nachos and extra queso for dipping is a must! Torta was good too, only thing I wish is they toasted the bun or kept it on the grill to make it crispy.

    A surprising vegan find in downtown Fullerton! The restaurant inside is cozy and vibrant, with a variety of menu items including tortas, tacos, quesadillas, and breakfast items. The lady at the front gave us a breakdown of the flavor profiles of the proteins, and shared her favorite menu items. Since it was taco tuesday, we opted to try all the taco flavors and our favorites were the jackfruit carnitas and al pastor. The smoky medium salsa was a perfect complement to the sweeter flavors of the taco proteins.

    First time coming here, will NOT be my last. Ordered three tacos, 1 al pastor, 1 asada, and 1 carnitas. The Al pastor had the most flavor of the three, but they were all great and served with a hearty portion of meat. Got the potato taquitos as well and they were good too, very simple in execution and so delicious! The California burrito was phenomenal as well! Great portions for all three dishes, they were shared between two people and we left stuffed and practically didn't eat the rest of the day from how filling it was. The employee at the front was sweet and the food came out quickly. Prices were also extremely reasonable, all the vegan spots I had previously gone to tended to be a little more expensive just due to the nature, but this place had great prices for the portion sizes, that alone will have me back. The restaurant itself is small but they had plenty of tables to compensate - didn't feel cramped whatsoever. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply wanting to try out plant-based spot, I'm pretty certain there's nothing on the menu that WOULDN'T be delicious. I'll be back soon enough!

    Holy, I think this was probably the best I've had from here! PARKING: there is street parking in front of the restaurant but it's a high traffic kinda area so we usually don't park there. I like to utilize the lot nearby since it's walking distance (3 minutes tops.) There is a wide selection of food here, from burgers to burritos to tacos -- they have a great selection! I saw they recently added some meatball soup and posole. I will definitely have to return to give that a try. I usually stick to the burgers with an impossible patty and can I just say they are exceptional! Well seasoned and delicious. I usually stick with my cali dreamin burger but that breakfast burger was absolutely delicious. It had a perfectly crisp hash brown :) Service was a bit more reserved today but I'm not complaining here. Absolutely love Cheyenne and the other worker with curly hair (I forgot her name but she has an autism badge of some sort.) They always make my day with their great service! We came at a good time. It was quiet and peaceful. The tables were cleaned and they recently added a self serve station!! Absolutely love that. By far, one of my favorite vegan places to frequent :) highly recommend this place.

    I'm obsessed! The service was outstanding, and the woman behind the counter answered all of my questions with so much patience and kindness. Ambience is quiet and neutral perfect for a quick bite by yourself or with someone. As someone who doesn't eat red meat, this place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for nachos. The food tastes authentic and packed with flavor. The portion sizes are great for the price, big enough to share with someone else. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Chicana is a downtown Fullerton eatery serving up vegan tacos, burritos, burgers, and more. Parking in DTF is always hit and miss, but you might get lucky and score a spot right out front on Commonwealth, or more likely in the parking lot right behind the restaurant. The inside is a little on the small side, but there are several tables, as well as two bar shaped tables facing the front window, which makes for good people watching. The walls are decorated nicely with a large colorful mural on one wall, and the other with greenery and Veganland spelled out in Hollywood sign letters. Both walls feature their superhero character. They also have a small patio with several tables behind the building. I stopped by to place and wait for a to-go order for my girlfriend. Jocelynn was at the register and was very friendly. When my order was ready, she brought it out to the table where I was sitting and waiting. I brought home an al pastor taco and two jackfruit carnitas tacos ($3.75 each), the kale salad ($7.95), and some extra salsa. I didn't taste any of the food myself, but she loved it all and said it was five stars all the way.

    Met up with my friends here for a few reasons.... I'm Vegan, we needed somewhere where pets can hangout with us and it was pretty much between where we live. Please note "pet friendly" doesn't mean you can bring pets inside even just to order food....technically that is the law even though some places let you order and leave with food if you bring a pet.... They have a back small courtyard area to eat and you can bring your dogs out that way....I got a breakfast burrito and it was really good and I would highly recommend that as a choice to eat....my friends got tacos, ramen and another got the breakfast burrito as well.... Everything was really good and what I wanted....I'm glad I finally made it out to try this place....even if you aren't Vegan give it a chance!

    Sooooo good!!!!! This was my second time coming here. My husband's first time. I was so excited to come back! The food here is amazing! One of the best vegan food restaurants. I absolutely love the Calibaerito (cali burrito vegan style). It is so filling and delicious! It's loaded with lots of fries. Next time I will do extra cheese on the burrito. I also ordered the supreme fries. Those were huge with a ton of fries! I did asada for the fries and the Cali burrito. The supreme fries were top notch! So good!! You just have to eat it fast before the fries get soggy lol I also tried an Al pastor taco. It was okay. I don't think I like the Al pastor meat. I'd order a taco again, but do the asada meat for protein. My husband had the mushroom burger and animal style French fry. He loved both. The animal style French fry was a huge hit for him. He enjoyed the mushroom burger too. This was a win all around! Service was good. They are very friendly and kind people. I love this place! We will be back. :)

    Nachos
    Heather N.

    I've been coming to this place for years and it is so delicious. I usually get nachos, unless I'm not starving and then I get a couple tacos. I bring my non-vegan/vegetarian friends here and they love it too. The food quality is high and the portions are big. They are a tiny bit pricey (I'm sure their rent is insane here), but it's worth it to support a small business. I've always gotten great service when I went in and the place always looks really clean. I would eat here weekly if I could.

    Potato Taquitos
    Natasha S.

    I want to call this the best vegan Mexican food, but really, it's simply the best vegan food PERIOD!!! This is one of the rare spots that I can bring my non-vegan peers - it really is that good! Today, we tried the potato taquitos, signature al pastor + carnitas fries, and strawberry crumble cake :)

    Hair in burger

    Very disappointed with this experience. While the food initially tasted great, I was shocked to find a hair in my burger after eating more than half of it. Finding hair in food is completely unacceptable and immediately made me feel sick to my stomach. I had no choice but to throw the rest of the meal away. It's frustrating because I was enjoying the food, but this raised serious concerns about cleanliness and quality control. A situation like this should never happen, and it completely ruined my experience. I hope management takes food safety and kitchen hygiene more seriously moving forward.

    Pozole verde, crack tacos, chilaquiles, sopes, animals fries
    Jocelyn M.

    Omg omg omg, super duper fantastically delicious! My friend and I popped in for lunch because I remember hearing about the Crack tacos. We ended up ordering and sharing: 1. Pozole verde - I wanted a whole vat it's so yum. Didn't need the lime squeeze but it lifted it because it had so much in it. 2. Crack tacos - Oh man it's been a while but they taste like jack in the crack tacos I remember lol #nostalgia 3. Sopes w/carnitas and asada - I'm a sucker for a good sope. Hard to beat the crisp "container" and rich creamy and crunchy fillings. 4. Animaless fries - ok hello seasoned fries! Perfect replica creamy deliciousness. 5. Chilequiles - this is how I judge a spot and A1! I had a lil leftover which was amazing the next day, whoohoo It was a weekday lunch so there was some street spots on Commonwealth, plus plenty in the lot but I can see it getting busy. We ordered on the screen where you order yourself and sat in the back where they brought us the food. The tables and chairs in the back have decent spacing. Definitely will return if I'm in the area

    Bulgogi burrito
    S Z.

    As usual amazing. Everything I have ever ordered here has been really good. Non-vegan/vegetarians have also loved this spot. Service is good and the ambiance is a nice spot with friends, there are several tables, but its not a huge spot. Order at the screen or with the staff at the counter. They opened a coffee area too, but it was closed by 11:30am, before the food service begins at 12pm.

    It's just another Mexican restaurant with just good vibes…read more The food does not represent authentic Mexican food. I ordered the asada taco plate; they were the most plain and dry tacos I have ever eaten. My first thought at first bite was that even street tacos taste better than these.

It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

It's a taco lover's paradise where you can build your dream tacos--or even nachos with crispy chicharrones. It's wild, and guess what I made? Chicharrón nachos! My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

    I did not want to like this place because only after I ordered was when I found out that there was…read morea credit card surcharge of 95 cents. That's a lot for a $19 order (4 tacos and one burrito). I did not see any notices for a credit card fee. If there are any signs, someone feel free to correct me and show me a photo and time stamp, I'll gladly revise my review. This is a very small taco place with very limited parking. You're better off parking along the streets and walking here. It's a casual dining so you order and then sit wherever you want. There's indoor and outdoor seating. During rush hour, it's pretty hectic. The salsa and toppings bar is located right next to the ordering line, so people were constantly squeezing past each other to get through. It wasn't very convenient, and with the restaurant already being on the smaller side, it could easily feel cramped and overwhelming for anyone who doesn't like tight spaces. However, I do like that there is an open salsa and toppings bar. They even have pickled onions, radish, and carrots. The salsas were very good as well, not overly spicy. I tried the carne asada, pastor, and chicken tacos. All of which were really good and well marinated. Meats were tender and not dry at all. Just on the taste alone, I'll definitely be back and will be paying with cash or debit next time. They definitely need a warning for credit surcharges and hopefully it won't be a rush hour next time I go.

    THE BEST! This is…read moreone of those if you know, you know; kind of restaurants. The food is absolutely amazing. No other Mexican restaurant compares in my opinion. Even the rice and beans are better than other places lol The rice is so fluffy and soft! I've never had rice that good. The chips are better than other places lol You can tell that they make them fresh. I got the shrimp enchiladas with extra cheese. It was delicious. The shrimp enchiladas came with shrimp and pico de gallo inside. It was topped with cheese. Very good! I scarfed it down. Next time though, I will order the cheese enchiladas. Those are my favorite! The flavors are just great. The food is freshly made and great service. They get you in and out quickly. We did have to wait for about 40 minutes, ambiance was crowded. There were people lined up outside! Worth the wait!!

    Food is great!! It is, but service and speed of food is pretty bad. We came here on a Saturday…read morenight and got seated right away, we heard it's usually packed on the weekends. I got the 2 combo plate with the chile relleno and the shredded beef taco, subbed for fries, my partner got a chicken enchilada with taco. My friends got a carnitas plate, and we also ordered drinks for the table. Their margaritas are pretty strong and the michelada is good! However our server wasn't on the friendly side. Although she was quick, every-time we needed some thing after she stopped off at our table, she would already be off to do something else. At the end of the night their POS didn't work and she just came back to the table saying card declined, when other customers experienced the same thing. She could've said do you have another card or something else, but she just said card declined. I also don't like have for substitutions you have to pay extra like for green sauce. Food is good, but hopefully next time we get a better server and food doesn't take forever to come out.
