To start. The people are incredible. I'm a vegan over the road truck driver. They don't have delivery set up yet and still went out of their way to deliver the food to me. Now on top of that the food is just as incredible as them. They put love into their food. I ordered so much food. I tasted everything I can't even tell you what I recommend because Anything you order you're going to love. Do yourself a favor and just come here you won't be disappointed. read more

Today was opening day at Yaqui Zen Taqueria, and I had to show some love. I ordered the five rolled tacos with rice and beans, and all I can say is... fye bihness! (If you're from Chicago, you know that's the highest compliment. ) Everything was packed with flavor. The seasoning was on point, the spice was just right, and every bite reminded me that plant-based food doesn't have to sacrifice taste. It was fresh, satisfying, and made with genuine care. They can truly throw down in the kitchen, and I'm incredibly proud of everything they poured into making this dream a reality. If you're looking for delicious vegan Mexican food made with heart, with excellent customer service do yourself a favor and stop by it's on Jones and a Charleston. Support local, support dreams, and treat yourself to an amazing meal. read more

I may have eaten a rolled taco in the car before driving off because I couldn't wait! Super crunchy and delicious! The Tres Leches Cold Brew has the perfect sweetness, and I loved the rolled tacos with the sides of rice and beans (dip dip). So much flavor! I'm saving the Sacred Bowl for later but I did try the chipotle jackfruit and it is packed with flavor! I'm currently devouring the Super Loaded Nachos and wouldn't have it any other way! I love all of the textures, sauces/salsas, flavors and colors! I can't wait to come back and try other items! read more

Best vegan hamburger I had by far. The agua fresca is very good. The owner, daughter and employee are very friendly with smiles.

Food was fantastic. Nice friendly service. Locally owned. Support these hardworking ladies serving up some great vegan food. The mushroom "Birria" tacos were amazing and the sacred bowl was a very healthy satisfying meal. Shout out to the salsas for not holding back the spiciness. Make them even spicier if you can. I love spicy foods. I will be back to try more stuff. Keep up the good work y'all. It's take out only because it's just counter top service behind a small bodega. read more

Re: Pirate Fest April 11, 2026 We have had Yaqui Zen's food many and usually rant and rave about it but this time was far from our typical experience. We always order the Sonora dog and then something else to try but that day it was a miss entirely. The hot dog was cold. There was so much bean juice on the bun that it fell apart after the 2nd bite. No estaba preparando con amor. The elote was mid. We ended up throwing the rest of our food away because we were so put off by the cold hot dog and soaked bun. This was our first disappointing experience with them. I couldn't attribute the experience to the fact that they were busy because they weren't. There was no line and only 2 orders ahead of ours. To top it all off, the person ringing us up laughed at our phone because it was an older model. I'll try not to let this experience cloud my overall view. read more

I was excited to find a fixed location now for vegan Mexican food, even if it was take away only and expensive. I ordered the Spirit plate which was supossed to include rice, beans, salad, and a tamale. When I got home I discovered there were no rice, beans, or salad - only 2 slices of radish and cucumber with what looked like a burrito. Be sure to check what they give you before leaving. read more

this was the best food i think i've ever had in my life. that chili relleno burrito tasted like heaven in a tortilla. you know when the food is so good you chew it super slow cause you wanna taste it as long as possible? i did that with this food. 1000/10. 6 stars should be an option. and the lady was so kind:) read more

I highly recommend. I will be back ASAP. Everything we had was fresh and full of flavor.

This was such an incredible food stand. I got to enjoy three tacos (al pastor was my fav, carne was texturally perfect, & you can never go wrong with papas), a sonoran hot dog, and a fat watermelon wedge covered in tajin, chamoy and lime on the grass like the happiest kid at the potluck. I haven't had a hot dog in forever and this is my new favorite one. Great service, great vibe, and will def go to fremont to have this at the restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed the new brick and mortar of Yaqui Zen cuisine. This unique flavors of Yaqui Mexican food taste satisfied my craving for Menudo, Posole, and Mini Sope samplers with Soyrizo, Asada, and Mushrooms Birria toppings. The blue corn and sope crusts are handmade. The soup is very tasty, light, and healthy. The other dishes were samplers of 'seafood'less ceviche samplers and a Mexican lentil soup. This is a vegan restaurant that is serving vegan Mexican food like no other. The vegan menudo is the best one I have ever tasted and tastes like homemade. It is light but flavorful! This vendor has been in operation for 5 years by doing a pop up and acquired quite a few followers. But it was our first time since we don't live here locally. At the end of the meals, don't forget to get yummy vegan cheesecakes from Vegas Vegan Culinary that taste so decadent and rich in many different flavors. Definitely will be back! read more

Tonight was my first time attending First Friday, and one of the highlights was Yaqui Zen! As a vegetarian, I normally don't have many options in street fairs (normally have to settle for sides). Yaqui's, however, specializes in vegan options and I had to try it! I ordered the quesabirria with the side of macaroni salad. It was delicious and seasoned to perfection! I haven't eaten meat since almost 20 years ago, so I'm not the best person to ask if it tastes like actual meat, but regardless, the flavor is there! It had a nice kick to it as well. The portion that I received was pretty big for a total of $15. I also saw their Al Pastor option on the menu, and I'll definitely need to come back to try it! Not only was the food delicious, but their service was fast and attentive. I especially loved supporting an LGBT+ owned business! I can't wait to try some more yummy food! read more

I was able to try Yaqui Zen while they did a pop up at F Bar inside Fergusons. So great to have them there and for me to try some vegan Mexican! My friends got the tacos abs they were really great. I got the "cup of tacos" which was so so so good. Life 5 rolled taquitos with potatoes inside sitting in a salsa bath. Truly wonderful. read more

Yaqui Zen is among the best vegan food in Vegas in my opinion. I love the strong, bold flavors. It seems like every time I see them at an event, they have at least one new item to try. Last time I came to see them at a vegan food festival, hubby and I tried the menudo and mango agua fresca with a chamoy and tajin dipped rim. Both were absolutely delicious and addicting. They are so nice and have excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend! read more

We have enjoyed Yaqui Zen Kitchen at festivals in Las Vegas, East LV and Boulder City. The food is consistently amazing! For lovers of Mexican food who value plant based, Yaqui Zen is a DESTINATION. Track and stalk this food! It's prepared and served by the kindest people, mostly family. Also, they're an LGBTQ+ friendly business! read more

At any local festival with food vendors, I can always rely on Yaqui Zen Kitchen to be there, even though it's on the pricey side. The wait is short unless it's at a vegan festival. I've enjoyed many of their menu items over the years. The burrito is my go-to, for the price of $13.50 during my most recent visit. Service is friendly and prompt. At First Friday, Yaqui is grouped with other vegan vendors, which provides a synergistic vibe for patrons choosing plant-based cuisine. read more

I found Yaqui Zen from my friend who is avid Yaqui zen'er lol. I was blown away by the food. I wanted to try everything. Everything I had was full of flavor and authentic. It was like a home cooked meal and gave me the comfort of such. I can't wait to try more when I catch them at their next spot. The service was zennn, making the experience even better and the dishes. read more

The BEST Vegan tacos I've ever had and I'm so happy! Since I became vegetarian I haven't found vegan tacos that "scratch where my New Mexican heart itches"....these do!!! The nachos were good too. I found the ramen esquire to be good but a tad sweet for me. However, a touch of hot sauce to counter the sweet made them a yummy JapaneseMexican fusion delight! AND supporting this business is also supporting a female indigenous business!! Hell yeah ladies! You are crushing it and I can't wait for my next taco! read more

Oh my goodness! We came in for lunch to Yaqui Zen and the food was amazing! All vegan, all delicious. I had three tacos - asada, soyrizo-potato, and another - they were so good. The tortillas were very good and all around it was a great experience. The service was normal, nothing out of the ordinary or above and beyond. I had Yaqui Zen inside of F the Bar and the place was clean and a nice break from walking around Fergusons outside. Highly recommend the food! read more

WOWW!!! I've been vegan for years and I've never had more authentically flavored Mexican food. And the fact that they had a chile relleno INSIDE of a burrito...mind blown! The service was great, Candice helped me navigate their menu because there was so many good options to choose from. Absolutely love and will definitely be coming again! read more

This truck is run by a very nice family! A cute gem at the farmers market at Bruce Trent park on a Wednesday.

This is my favorite place to go to at every First Friday! The burritos are delicious, the tacos are good, the mushroom Birria is bomb, nachos are a 10/10, but my favorites: the Green Chicken Pozole with the strawberry basil agua!! Seriously, I hadn't had pozole since 2019 when I stopped eating meat and 3 years later I can say it tasted so good, authentic, and cozy. The prices are beyond fair for the portion size and it makes me so so happy that this place exists in Vegas. The champurrado is delicious!!! I can't wait to try more of this hidden vegan gem. read more
