Taqueria Cancun - San Rafael

No matter what you order at this restaurant, even if you request no lard in the beans, no cheese, and no crema—essentially no animal products at all—your tortillas will still be placed on a griddle saturated with animal fat. It seems impossible to get a truly animal-free meal here. Updated from my previous review on September 2, 2023.

I went there hoping to try the vegan asada, but I should have checked the reviews first to see that it was no longer available. Nonetheless, the veggie burritos we ordered were flavorful and filling, even though they forgot the guacamole that was supposed to come with them. The salsas tasted fresh. Overall, the food was decent but nothing exceptional for vegans.

It was okay, just mediocre. However, we specifically went for the vegan asada, and unfortunately, it's no longer on the menu.

I used to eat here before I went vegan, so when they started doing meatless asada, I was stoked and came back in to try it. They have always been really good about avoiding animal products wherever possible. They're rice and beans have always been vegetarian and yet pack flavor. Unsurprisingly, there vegan asada rules. They just know how to cook. It's nice to be able to order something vegan that tastes great rather than just okay. Great work, guys!

I visited this restaurant before I became vegan, and when they introduced their meatless asada, I couldn't resist coming back to try it. They have always been great at avoiding animal products whenever possible. Their rice and beans have consistently been vegetarian, yet they are packed with flavor. I'm thrilled to find delicious vegan asada options available. They truly know how to cook. It's refreshing to be able to order something vegan that tastes fantastic instead of just mediocre.
