    OG Burrito
    Arely R.

    I always come here when I'm assigned classrooms to assist in near Colton! While I need to try more items, I can't help but stick to the OG burrito with red salsa and chipotle sauce. Mwah.. soso good. Staff is amicable and friendly! I feel bad when I frequent the spot without my friend haha! Good price for a very fulfilling portion! I will always beast my burrito

    Absolutely amazing food! It's a small place so there's not many seats to dine in, but if you're traveling through and looking for vegan food this is absolutely worth the stop. I'll probably come here Avery time I'm headed back to Mexico from now on.

    I did take out on a Tuesday night. This place is next to a train track. It is in a sketchy area. There's very limited parking in front. You may park on the side street. The actual restaurant itself is small and dark. There's only 2 tables. Don't come if you have a large group! Surprisingly, both tables were taken. Since I did take out, my food was ready and sitting at the counter. The man was courteous. It seems he's the only one running the show. I decided to eat my food in the car since I wanted to taste it fresh. I did have to lock my door since there were people walking around. There a vape shop right next door with people hanging outside. Anyway, the 100% plant based quesabirria with consume was very good! It almost tasted like the real deal. It was a bit oily. It could also use more "birria". The consume was so good for a vegan broth. I really enjoyed it. I would try it again.

    Came here today to have lunch with a friend and I'm surprised that I haven't been here before. I remember when this location was a vegan pizza place but I'm not sure when it became a vegan taco place. Overall the food was good. The jamaica was bomb, better than the horchata imo. The birria quesadilla was my favorite thing but I did not like the consommé. The consomme was like water, no flavor. i thought I was tripping but my friend tried it and without me telling her what I thought, she said the same thing. I would come back for the quesadilla though. The salsa is bomb. I really like their tamales and the burrito i got was good too. overall solid food and i will be back with my family soon!

    Location: Small place hidden right next to a vape shop lol Accepts credit cards or cash Not a lot of seating but service was great. I am not vegetarian but I enjoyed their quesabirria! Potato rolls and loaded fries were also great in portion. Super impressed with their food and I'd definitely come try it out again.

    Vegan Fries w Red Sauce

    The food has flavor and good taste. Want to go back & try different items w/ different sauces. Ordered the Birria Tacos w/ rice and beans. The sides are good, not crunchy rice soft and beans have a well rounded flavor. The "birria" sauce taste like ramen broth instead of the meat flavor. Fries were definitely good as a antojitos for two-three. Added green and red sauce, red won over green.

    Vegan Al pastor Loaded Nachos

    I've had my eye on viva vegan forever, and they started offering delivery through Uber eats to my house. Naturally, I had to give them a try knowing they're a little far from me, but despite that, the food arrived warm and delicious. I ordered pastor nachos and a horchata for me, and I got fries for my toddler. Right after I ordered, I got the notification that they were out of horchata. So sad! It must be super popular. I'll try it next time, no worries. The pastor nachos had the perfect ratio of chips to toppings, which I appreciated. The chips were still crunchy after their half hour commute to me. The vegan pastor was homemade and had the perfect texture. I highly recommend it. There was a lot of pico on top, a lot of beans on the bottom, and the green salsa was on the side as I requested. The cheese sauce was also a great consistency. I really appreciate that they make their own cheese sauce as opposed to offering shredded vegan cheese; it came together well with all of the ingredients. The portion of nachos was huge and I couldn't finish it, despite being super hungry. I gave it my best try though. My daughter likes the fries. They seemed to be seasoned heavily with pepper, which I wasn't sure if she was going to enjoy, but she ate them up! She also tried some nachos and enjoyed my food too. Overall, I had a great experience ordering delivery from viva vegan. I will definitely order again because they have long standing Uber eats promotions that help to cut down the cost. They have huge taco platter, so that will probably be what I try next. I want to try more of their vegan meats like the birria and asada.

    I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time and was excited to finally visit it with coworkers. I was surprised when I arrived at the restaurant and realized it was housed in the former location of another vegan restaurant, Vegan Korner. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by an employee. After looking at the menu. I decided to ordered a loaded quesadilla and a single quesabirria taco. My coworkers ordered a taco plate, a chimichanga, and a pulled pork sandwich on sourdough bread with fries and coleslaw. We also ordered water to accompany our food and when the employee accidentally spilled one of the waters, he employee quickly wiped it up. The food was quickly delivered, was flavored well, and delicious. I was happy to eat this restaurant and elated that my non vegan coworkers liked the food good and one coworker even took her remaining food in a to go box. The only slight annoyance is that restaurant space inside is a little cozy with two booth and a side table but other than that, it was an enjoyable experience overall. After having such a good dining experience, I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

    Burnt asada.
    A J.

    I truly have mixed feelings about this location. The first time I went the food was great, it made me want to continue going. The last few visits have not been the best. I will write down the cons and pros in order. CONS 1. The place is very small. 2. A/C is blowing super cold . Everyone I see eat inside is wearing a sweater. 3. Food quality has gone down, the food is mostly bland. 4. Tables and bathroom are dirty. 5. Lately the carne asada has been coming out burnt. 6. It's expensive, I got a OG burrito for almost 14 dollars and it was small. 7. They removed the kids menu due to other adults eating off the kids menu. It's sad that us parents have to pay the consequences. 8. The menu is inconsistent, they keep removing items. 9. They play loud music 24/7, some of the music is not the best for kids. PROS 1. The rice is good. 2. The HORCHATA is super delicious. 3. The people are nice. Now please be aware I haven't tried their birria items so not sure how the flavor is on those items.

    Try them out you won't be disappointed. Me and my husband loved our asada burritos and we aren't even Vegan, but man did they taste very similar to the real thing. We were helped right away and the food also came out very quickly. The restaurant itself is small about 3 tables but we had no issue getting one a lot of the orders were to go. We'll be for sure coming back.

    Is the staff fully Covid-19 vaxxed? I can't find anything about it on their socials?

    Hopefully not. If they are vegan and then put an untested vaccine in their body would make me question if they are truly vegan! Plus the fact covid is long gone.

    Do you guys deliver?

    We use DoorDash for delivery

    Is the cheese used dairy free?

    Yes, we use Follow Your Heart . Everything here is vegan.

    Is this a casual indoor dining or more like out take out?

    It’s fast service, we have a few tables inside and a few more outside.

    Are you guys closed permanently? Google is showing up closed and I tried calling but no one is picking up. I am unsure if it's due to prime time hours happening now?

    Google has their Upland online and that location is closed but their current location is 299 W. Olive Colton CA 92324.

    Stopped by this ramen spot on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was…read more The Tonkotsu Ramen was definitely the highlight. The noodles are made fresh in-house, and you can really tell from the texture -- they had a great chew and held up well in the broth. The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The chashu was tender and well-seasoned, and the soft-boiled egg and wood ear mushrooms rounded everything out nicely. I added a little chili paste for extra heat, and it worked perfectly. The Spicy Garlic Edamame was much better than I expected for a side dish. The edamame was cooked just right, still firm and plump, and coated in a flavorful garlic sauce with a nice kick. We also ordered the Gyoza, which had a beautifully crispy bottom and juicy filling inside. Simple but very well executed. The Pork Rice Bowl was huge and easily shareable. The sweet and savory sauce paired really well with the rice, making it a great comfort-food option alongside the ramen. Overall, everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again if I'm in the area.

Kaz Ramen used to be our favorite, but ever since they went 24 hours, the quality and flavor just hasn't been the same. Ramen Koko in Highland is still pretty good, although I think the presentation and service could use some work. Sosogu Ramen in Redlands is another solid spot. After trying all of them, Ramen Jo's tonkotsu broth stands above the rest. It's rich, creamy, deeply flavorful, and the kind of broth you don't want to leave behind. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? The protein was the only thing holding this place back. The chashu and other beef in our bowls were overcooked and chewy. Instead of being tender and practically melting in your mouth, they took a bit of work to eat. If they can improve the quality of their protein, this would easily be a 5-star ramen spot. We'll definitely be back because that tonkotsu broth alone is worth the visit, and we're hoping the protein is better next time.
