    Mushroom and potato tacos with quinoa and beans
    Megan A.

    Wow I recently discovered Viva La Vegan on Yelp and just need to know where their tacos have been all my life? By this point, I am pretty sure that I have consumed all of the vegan tacos the Los Angeles has to offer, but none can compare to those of Viva La Vegan. On certain days of the week, a dope little hot dog cart is set up in front of Bow Tiki tattoo shop where vegan magic is made. They offer a generous selection of taco options to choose from. I really wanted to try all of them but stuck to only two. They don't use gmo's or gross oils in their foods which leaves you feeling light after you eat. I chose to order one potato taco and one mushroom taco with Mexican style quinoa (not rice which is awesome) and beans. The tacos were legit art. They were so beautiful that I did not want to eat them. The tortillas were slightly crispy so that they held all of the delicious filling perfectly. My only regret is not trying all of the flavors. They also make incredible drinks that are very lightly sweetened. The blackberry pineapple limeade is to die for. Lastly, the ambiance of this place is insane. Talk about good vibes all the way. They have lots of seating, whether it's in a cop bus in front of the shop, in the shop itself or outside. What a gem Viva La Vegan is! The owners are absolute hospitable angels. Even though you're in Los Angeles, they make it feel as if you're home having a vegan taco celebration with friends. I can't wait to go back and try all the tacos!

    Spicy sweet potato (Papi Dulce) and cactus (Nopa Ulie) tacos!

    Yessss! So so happy to have vegan tacos in this area! My parents live here and I can't tell you how many times i have to drive out to different places closer to LA just to get my vegan fix in! Once I saw this place on Yelp, I had to try!! I was shocked to find out it was right across the street from 7/11 and then found out it was a little taco cart outside a shop. The owners own both the shop and the cart! They were amazing people-very friendly! My first order was the PAPI DULCE (sweet potato taco) and NOPA ULIE (cactus taco). DELICIOUS! I got them both spicy, and I have to say, the spicy sauces and all the toppings are what made these taco perfect! Like I mentioned before, it's a taco cart, so you get to watch the chef make your vegan tacos! I went again the next week and got the cactus taco again, and this time tried the CALI FLORES (cauliflower-I'm a HUGE fan of cauliflower and always make dishes at home) and I LOVED this just as much! Everything has been so good! I love how season they are and again, the sauces just really put the taco together! I also ordered their limeade drinks both times. It's only $2 and they offer free refills, how can you not?! You'll find this taco cart right next to their cart, literally across the street from that doctors office near 7/11. If you have time to chill, check out their cute little shop as well! Great vibes and delicious food! So glad to have found this place. It saves me a 30 min drive (1 hour really from my place) to LA vegan restaurants and the price is much cheaper and well worth it!

    Viva la Vegan Tacos! I'm still sitting here in utter amazement at how amazing this experience was. Delicious tacos, great vibe, and probably a spot that you never expected it! We got the hula tacos, bow Thai, la setas tacos, and the quesadillas (in the "secret" menu). Liz and George run the bow tiki and the delicious truck. Bobby on the grill, rocks it out. Honestly this is a gem and a must try. The tacos are authentic and vegan. Each taco is packed with flavor. The hula taco is more for the pineapple and bbq lovers. Very succulent and delicious. The bow Thai tacos was seriously full of love. Spicy, crunchy, and overflowing with the amazing Indian fusion flavors. The setas tacos were definitely something else. Earthy tones and great bold flavors. Anyone looking for more fuller flavors, meaty textures, and earthy mushroom vibes. Here is a small recommendation - try the quesadillas! Try the horchata! If nothing else, you must stop by for these things. We will Be back here and would recommend this place to anyone. A++++ to anyone out there. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!

    Tacos: mushroom, sweet potato, and squash  Quinoa
    J S.

    Absolutely fantastic tacos. This will sound like an exaggeration, but these are BEST tacos I've ever had. I had the mushroom, sweet potato, and squash tacos - my favourite was the sweet potato! Viva la vegan tacos is a MUST when driving through Granada Hills. But, they're not open everyday, so check out their hours to make sure you won't miss them!

    Angelina S.

    Hands down, best tacos in town. The owners have combined their passions and created a unique space with good vibes and great food! I am so happy to find such an awesome place!!!! Will probably become frequent fliers!!!!

    So this is the to go order. I ate my actual order before I could take a picture. Come enjoy the food.

    You don't need to be vegan to love these tacos. My favorite are the zucchini/squash and the potatoe tacos. You have four days a week to come and enjoy these awesome tacos. The atmosphere is every relax and chill. They are always playing reggae music and once in awhile they will have band night. Bring Tupperware to get some to go. Also check them out under bowtiki tattoo.

    Amazing, fresh, and flavorful tacos with the most friendly and inviting folks working here! Between 2 of us, we ordered 6 tacos, a quesadilla, and a side of quinoa and it was all so good! We tried the Hawaiian jackfruit taco, the mushroom taco, and the sweet potato taco. Everything was packed with flavor--even the tortillas! We also got their blackberry pineapple limeade and their strawberry raspberry lemonade, both drinks were refreshing and all natural, not too sweet. I can't wait to come back to try all their other tacos. There's plenty of street parking nearby too. We are definitely going to become regulars here!

    tacos ..so delicious!
    Lea C.

    These tacos are mouth watering and oh so good ..I ate three my self (hula taco , aye papa and cali flore) taco )and my boyfriend ate three two hula and aye papa) and had a blackberry pineapple limeade . The food is very filling not to mention try the chips and salsas to die for! .It's habanero so it definitely got a kick to it My boyfriend and I are not vegan ...but we must we will definitely be back ! shout out to the little bro for telling us about this gem. ps these tacos are well packed so well they fall out a bit when you eat them so eat them fast then ahah. mmmm viva la vegan tacos is a family ran business, where you can enjoy fresh made vegan tacos in front of you but they also make ,taco bowls , and agua frescas. All the food they made is made with rad vibes and love . None of their food is ever made with any of the following : gluten, soy,MSG, gmo and last but not least hydrogenated oil or canola oil. this place had the best vegan tacos , you'll ever try. i love how friendly they owners are . they have a cool secluded tiki /paradise area where you can sit and eat your food.

    Quesadilla, Hawaiian jackfruit tacos, and horchata.
    Rose L.

    This was my first time here. I had the Hawaiian jackfruit tacos, quesadillas, and horchata. Everything was so good and the couple that run the place were super friendly! Definitely coming back soon.

    2 Aye Papa tacos, 1 Nopaulie taco, and Spanish style quinoa with chips and habanero salsa. YUM!!!

    My favorite vegan taco spot! The tacos are beyond delicious and the Spanish style quinoa with chips and habanero salsa is so good! My favorite taco has to be the Aye Papa, but the Southwestern Pineapple is pretty good, also. The drinks are all amazing and homemade, with no sugar added. My ultimate favorite is the blackberry pineapple limeade, though all flavors I've tried are winners! Liz, George, and Bobby are serving it up, and even though they get busy, they offer service with a smile! Keep it up! **Be aware that Taco Tuesdays are busier than the other days, but worth the wait!

    One mushroom taco, one potato taco, and two gouda quesadillas. Absolutely delicious.
    Aria T.

    This taco place is most definitely my new favourite spot. You can taste the freshness of their ingredients and the love that goes into it. Also, it's super hard to find quality vegan food that's soy free, so this place is an absolute GEM. You can feel all the good energy. All the people who work there are super sweet. I would highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed at all!

    Definitely the best vegan tacos I've had in Los Angeles. Period. George, Bobby and Elizabeth are all so amazing and made the experience even better. Make sure to check them out. They have a ton of options, we will definitely be back.

The food is consistently excellent, and it's easy to see why there's always a steady line of customers. The tortillas are made fresh by hand, and the birria always tastes like it was prepared that day. While it can take a little time to receive your order, that's part of what makes the food so good--you can tell everything is made fresh rather than sitting under a heat lamp. We've tried a variety of menu items over the years, including the asada tacos, goat birria, beef birria, birria ramen, and even the chicken quesadillas . Everything we've ordered has been flavorful and well-prepared. They recently started offering aguas frescas, which are delicious and pair perfectly with the food. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they're generous with the salsas, letting you choose whichever sauces you prefer with your tacos. Don't skip dessert, either. We recently tried the gelatin dessert they started selling, and it was surprisingly delicious. Great food, fair prices, friendly service, and consistently fresh ingredients. We highly recommend La Autentica Birrieria and will continue coming back weekend after weekend.

    This was our first time trying Angel's Tijuana Tacos in North Hollywood. We were already in the…read morearea looking for tacos and usually go to stands farther west around Northridge or Granada Hills, so we figured we'd try something different. We got six tacos between the asada and al pastor, plus a queso burrito with asada. Everything was really good. My fiancée noticed that they were making the tortillas by hand right there, which was a nice touch and definitely made a difference. I especially liked the al pastor, and the queso burrito was really good too and pretty filling. I also liked that they actually have a big menu with the prices clearly posted. Not every taco stand makes the pricing that easy to see. The tacos were $3.25 each and the queso burrito was $13.50. Our total was $36.22 after tax. I will say the tacos are a little pricier than what we're personally used to. At some of the taco stands we normally go to, we're used to paying around $2 to $3 per taco, so $3.25 stood out a little. That said, the food was good enough that I didn't feel disappointed with what we paid. The only other small thing was the salsa. They ask if you want everything on the tacos and put the salsa on for you, while we're more used to taco stands giving you salsa on the side at the end. I'm sure you can ask for some separately, but since we were taking everything home and didn't ask, I just used some salsa we already had. Not really a complaint, just something I'd remember next time. Overall, we really liked the food and would come back. Since we're still trying different taco stands around the area, we'll probably keep exploring too, but Angel's was a good first stop.

    I honestly thought this was a sit-down restaurant, but it turned out to be more of a street food…read morespot. That was a bit disappointing because I ended up paying almost $40 for two quesadillas, which feels pretty expensive compared to other street food places in the area. The food was okay, but I wouldn't call it especially tasty or memorable On the positive side, the mango juice was really good, and I enjoyed the outdoor seating it had a nice atmosphere and was a pleasant place to relax. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I don't think the food justified the price

We ordered to-go with a group of three friends (so a good amount of food) and it took less than 15 minutes. Honestly, not a bad wait time! The salsa bar in the front? Solid selections and the salsas complemented everything perfectly. Service was kind and they take both cash and card. A few things to keep in mind--the space is on the smaller side and it's mostly outdoor seating. With summer coming up (and spring already feeling hot), just know it can get warm out there. There is shade, but I don't remember seeing fans. So maybe plan for takeout if it's a scorcher! Parking is street parking. If you know Glendale, you know it can be a little tricky. We ended up parking in a residential area and walked about two minutes, so not bad at all. But honestly? It's worth it.

I'm not sure if the rice was over seasoned or a certain seasoning was throwing me off, but it was very strong. It's definitely a style of Mexican rice that I've never had before . I prefer mixing my rice and beans together though, which helped. The beans and rice are sold separately so it's really your choice if you want to get it anyways. Their horchata was good which is always a good sign for me in a taco spot. I'll be back to try their carnitas and fries.

Not long ago, we had some amazing tacos at the Beverly Hills location, so we wanted to give the Burbank location a try as well. Even though we had already eaten quite a few snacks earlier that day and weren't very hungry, we were still curious to see how this location compared. My mom really wanted to order the shrimp taco because she remembered how much she had enjoyed it before. However, the menu indicated that it was spicy. So, I asked if they could make it non-spicy or serve the spicy sauce on the side instead, but he explained that the taco is prepared with the spice already included, so they weren't able to do that. We then asked if they had any other seafood tacos. That's when we found out they had a ceviche taco as the special of the day, so we ordered two of those. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, although it was a little saltier than we expected. Even so, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly. The employee who took our order especially stood out. He was genuinely kind and welcoming from beginning to end. While I was eating, I realized the ceviche taco was much larger than I expected, and I got full before I could finish it. I asked for a to-go box, but I couldn't figure out how to close the lid. The employee immediately helped me close it with a smile. They were just as friendly during the ordering process as they were afterward, and their excellent customer service really made our visit enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try some of their other tacos in the future.
