    OH EM GEE. I finally got to try brunch after yearssss of dining here!! The French toast could've been made to be a little more fun. It was super basic BUT very good. But the chilaquiles ...DELICIOUS!!!! We got two different drinks. The orange one was definitely better. Love all the windows that look outside. This place will forever be a go to! Can't wait to try more brunch items next time?!

    Holy mole'. I was in the area so stopped in to grab some food to go. I had never been I. This area of town and found that this location has a nice vibe with plenty of places to sit and enjoy. The staff were friendly and helpful and my order came out quickly. I had to order the Mexican Pizza as it's a limited offering. It is giant. I have enough left for another meal. My husband got enchiladas with mole' sauce. This mole according to him was a bit sweet. The food was amazing as always so the hat I can't wait to come back and enjoy a meal.

    I've visited this restaurant a couple of times now and each time the food and service were really good. The giant taco really intrigued me because it reminded me of the show Man vs Food so I had to give it a try and it did not disappoint. The ambiance vibe was fun and friendly. This isnow one of my go-to restaurants in the Downtown Arts District area. I look forward to future visits.

    This is SERIOUSLY some of the best vegan food I have ever had! I stumbled upon this by accident and it was so freaking good. The place is cute and food is affordable and it's ALL VEGAN!! I wakes in and the woman at the cashier was so friendly and recommended me what to get cause there was way too many options, I will be back! I highly recommend checking it out!!

    Great food.. my Father raved about this spot whenever he visits me & the children. Me & my Wife finally went and it was worth all the hype. The staff were very nice, very helpful and the area of the building is top tier. Great parking as well, i'll be BACK

    My friend Mat and I decided to stop at Tacotarian, which is a Vegan location for tacos, nachos, etc. They use the diet cheese to make their nacho sauce and they have a non-egg and non-dairy sour cream as well. I decided to get two tacos that were $3.50 each the Barbacoa plant-based tacos and then I also got a full plate of nachos with vegan nacho cheese and vegan sour cream along with the vegan plant based meat and guacamole as well. I am so excited to dig in. I went to the bathroom right after I ordered and they do have bathroom codes that changed daily so you do have to ask the gentleman at the check encounter for that code. After I returned from the bathroom, I had my food ASAP. The jackfruit on these tacos, do not taste like jackfruit it taste like meat, and that is so hard to come by ! This is my first time eating at Tacotarian and it is a definite must hit. If you are in the area they have oodles of options for honestly anybody eating and that is so amazing to me. The ambience on the inside, reminds me of a couple of the breweries that we stopped at where it's very industrial yet very Homie-y at the same time. It is a feeling where they want you to feel welcomed. 10/10

    I thought it was a taqueria. I was wrong. It's better than that. It's all vegetarian and the whole vibe of this place with hip music playing is very cool. The server was helpful, explaining the menu. I got the taco platter: carne asada made with seitan, al pastor made with seitan, and barbacoa made with jackfruit. All tasted like real tacos. The side of queso fundido tasted fattening in a good way. I made a taco out of it. Lastly the coconut horchata was incredibly good. I'm coming back!

    Came here with a group after an event to enjoy some real food and absolutely loved this place. Service was quick and friendly and the churros were yummy. I love their queso with the veggies mixed in, guac was fresh, and everyone raved about their tacos as well. It was chill since it was 9pm on a Tuesday, but the restaurant was bright and airy.

    Such a nice spot for vegetarian options! I'd come back again for sure. Open airy space with tons of taco, burrito, etc options all vegetarian. Reasonably priced and food tasted delicious! Oh and they had a wonderful ceviche which can be hard to find as a vegetarian.

    My bookclub met here for an early dinner. I am not vegan but I am always willing to try vegan food. The man at the register was so nice and knowledgeable of the menu. I chose 4 tacos because I wanted a variety of choices. I chose the plantain con mole which was quite delicious. It was a bit spicy but the mole was tasty and the plantain was cooked very well. Next, was the mushroom asada and it was tasty. I love mushrooms so this was right ip my alley. Then, I got the gabacho which tasted like meat and I really enjoyed this one. Lastly, I got the baja taco which is a deep fried avocado with slaw. This one was my favorite. It was creamy and tasty. Back to my bookclub. We wanted to meet somewhere where we can sit comfortable for a few hours and chat about our book and future books. I love the seating here. They have a section with sofas and chairs with small tables. We really enjoyed that.

    I listed my order in the attached photo. Taco Tuesday has $2 tacos, so you can't go wrong! The staff was so helpful and friendly and service is super fast. I loved the plantain taco..so different. Al pastor was my 2nd fav. I knew they were vegetarian focused but didn't realize it is actually a vegan place. Highly recommend!!

    Being plant-based, this place was Mexican food heaven. So many options, with an emphasis on various different proteins (from mushrooms, to jackfruit, to meatless chicken and meatless beef) Loved all of them, especially the carne asada and the barbacoa. The tacos came with medium green salsa and hot red salsa. The soup was also good, not spicy, more on the sweet tangy side. Loved the chunks of fresh avocado in the soup! It was really hot outside, so they allowed us to sit inside with our little dog as long as he was well-behaved. Plenty of paid street parking and paid lots nearby. They also have a dog patio. Service was fast and friendly. You order at the counter, and someone brings the food out to you.

    I really really needed this. There aren't many vegan locations on the Vegas strip, so I was lacking a really good meal on my trip. My boyfriend surprised me by coming here! I was looking at the menu and thought I could only get one or two items until I realized The ENTIRE MENU is vegan!!! I was shocked! I got an elote, 1 barbacoa taco, and 1 bistek taco. I thought they were great! I have never had barbacoa or bistek in my life so I can't compare it to the real thing, but I loved it! There was one person in our party who does not like vegan food and she did not like her taco, but at least she tried it. I also got a margarita, which was so great!!!

Let me tell you....Best decision we ever made. The food was AMAZING!!! The atmosphere was cool and the music they play is awesome. We sat at the bar and Jose was our server. We told him it was our first time and he made some great recommendations. If they are any food critics reading this please please come review this place.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

The vibes are really fun, very vibrant and there are various rooms that could offer more intimate spaces if you wanted. We were greeted pretty promptly, but the service was admittedly slow. He was attentive when around, and there was someone always coming around and filling our water, but it did take a bit to get our order in and receive our food. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

Music, dim lights on to set you in a good mood. We were treated with amazing service by our server Styx. Here's what we ordered for our party of 3 and held up a lamp to read the menu: Appetizers/Sides: Street Corn $15 (5/5) Super creamy and smothered in gooey cheese Hamachi Tiradito $28 (4/5) I dont eat raw foods but the rest of my party really enjoyed this dish Misto Ceviche $23 (4/5) This also had raw pieces of fish in it and partially cooked seafood mixed in. I did try the cooked pieces and it was super limey, very limey and comes with blue tortilla chips Amado Arepas $18 (5/5) This comes with 2 pieces but we added on a 3rd one so we can get get one ($9 each). It was a small bite, but packed a punch with a yummy tender braised short ribs inside and crunch exterior Entrees: American Wagyu $185 (4/5) 16oz Black Grace Rosewood NY Stripe. It was a little more charred not the outside, but it was presented very nicely and sliced up for us. A little more chewy than your normal Wagyu or maybe because it's also a NY cut. It comes with 3 dipping sauces and thinly Fried string onions. Drinks: Living my best life, burning passion (it was really burning on fire), and palomita! They were all tasty and fun! And we also got a free fruity birthday shot! Yay! Desserts: Flaming Skull $38 (5/5) Ok if you don't have diabetes, cuz it's all SUGA, then order this. The skull is engulf with rum and lit up in flames so it melts. Then the oogey chocolate warm skull cake you can dip and eat with the horchata ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and candied puff rice. So Ded I mean it. They also gave me another small cake and candle with birthday card! They also charge an automatic 18% for any part size so just beware and ck your receipt. Overall dinner was delicious and we all left super happy and full. I would definitely come back to try more dishes next time I'm in Vegas!
