Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

the food and service here are great! i love the location and design of the restaurant, and was super excited to try out some new vegan food. they have a very solid menu selection, and i like how many protein options they have. i tried the nachos and the taco platter, which were both delicious! the vegan proteins are very well made, and i thought that the sauces and flavor combinations were very well thought out. personally, my favorite taco that i tried was the plantain taco as it was unique in terms of flavor profile. the guac is also made fresh here and was quite tasty. the food also came out really fast given that there were quite a few people ordering and eating in the restaurant. it was a little bit loud inside the restaurant, but it wasn't crazy or anything. overall, i would definitely recommend tacotarian for some quick service and delicious tacos!

Was it delicious? Eh I'vehad WAY BETTER. Did I spend $35 without a drink yes- will I stop in again probably not. First let me say the atmosphere and Customer Service were EXCELLENT- now let me explain why I probably won't be back. The food is just ok, over priced, and not enough of a portion size for the price. A side guacamole and chips cost $11.55- see picture. There IS NO reason the should cost this much. My guacamole does not taste Mexican- it tastes very much American, just avocado loaded with tomatoes, onions, and onion powder- I didn't taste cilantro, lime juice, or salt. My black beans taste like they came from a can and were seasoned with salt and what tasted like a smokey flavor. My rice was giving Rice-A-Roni- not good at all. My taco choices were veggie, chorizo, and asada- couldn't taste the difference between the chorizo and asada but were flavorful. I also ordered a side of guacamole (2oz) $3.15- cost more than the actual avocado. $35.08 wasted- this amount should have included a drink and or a sweet treat. 6 out of 10 Oh also good luck finding parking!

Everything was great! If you’re a vegan you’ll love it, prices are okay, it isn’t exactly cheap or anything but can be affordable for some for the most part. ❗️I would say though it’s literally cold outside and I would prefer the doors to stay closed, and be completely warm instead. So bring a jacket or a coat if you hate the cold!
