no vegan options :(

even the horchata is cut with cows milk, no cheese or meat alternatives so the best you can get is beans and rice. shame though, loved this place before i was vegan.

Vege Burrito with Guac Included

Taqueria Vallarta has a few locations here in Santa Cruz and this one is the more dine-in friendly of the two. My friend and I came here after a long night out and I was happy to find some plant based options here for myself.

They have a veggie friendly menu that has a lot of options that can be easily veganized by removing the cheese. Fortunately, their beans and rice are vegan friendly here (and not cooked in lard or meat stock), so is safe to consume for plant based eaters.

You order at the front and receive a number for your order. If paying with card, there's no space to provide a tip, so feel free to leave one in cash or ask to add on to your purchase if you'd like.

I went with their Vegetarian Burrito ($9.49) without the sour cream or cheese, and because it included guac, it was the clear winner out of all the other options. A simple burrito wrapped around a spinach tortilla for no extra charge - my kind of ham. My entree also came with a side of chips where I wholeheartedly used the salsa bar to jazz up.

Pros: Guac is already included in burrito, Rice and beans are naturally vegan

Cons: Vegetarian items must be veganized
