I ordered the taco platter with two al pastor tacos and a mushroom asada taco. Service was quick and the server Anthony was super friendly in answering my questions. This place is fully plant-based! I probably would have ordered differently if I knew the Queso Fresco was plant-based. On that topic, the Queso Fresco was super convincing. The Al Pastor tacos were meaty but not as seasoned as I would have liked. Nothing that their habanero salsa couldn't fix (great salsa)! Mushroom asada taco was fairly basic, great texture but again on the lighter side for seasoning. The restaurant was beautiful, the walls adorned with a whole array of taco-related slogans. Will definitely be back!

I absolutely love Tacotarian! This place is a true gem, especially for vegans. There really need to be more spots like this. Mexican food is my favorite, and taco shops are one thing I truly missed after making the lifestyle change. I come here all the time, and my go-to is the chilaquiles for breakfast with carne asada. That said, everything here is fantastic, and don't forget to try the horchata, just be sure not to drink it all before your food arrives! I'm also a huge fan of the Quesa Birria, though a small tip for the cooks: please heat up the consommé a bit more. I'll definitely keep coming back, and a big thanks to the owners and staff for bringing such good food and great vibes to the neighborhood!

I can't believe the last time I came here was 2 years ago. Tacotarian is definitely one of my favorite Mexican vegan spots! CARNEASDA BURRITO: So good. My husband, who gets Mexican food / carneasda burritos weekly, said he couldn't even tell this was vegan. BIRRIRA PLATTER: This comes with 4 tacos, the tacos were a little small but great for sharing if you wanna try different items on the menu.

I've visited one of the Vegas locations a few times and was excited to visit their SD location, it was just as good! I tried their Mexican pizza. I imagined it would be about the size of the Taco Bell one, but it wasn't, this one is huge! It's about the size of a medium pizza. Their enchiladas were tasty, but cold on the inside. At tacotarian you order at the counter, you're given a number and they bring your food out. It's super casual ambiance and service, with very tasty food.

Today tried the Asada Fries & mom got her usual fish taco. I have to say the food is really tasty & you'd never know the dishes are plant based, no real meat. The Asada Fries were delicious and the fish taco. Service was pleasant & I didn't have to wait long to order & was less than 10 minutes to prepare. There are two sides for seating the bar area is open & breezy wall/bar high chair seating & seats at the bar. And more tables are available on the opposite side that is not opened to the outside so less breeze. There is parking in entrance from alley off Meade or Kansas street. And limited street parking if you're lucky. Entrance from 30th street & also from the parking lot. Prices are pretty reasonable & some items comparable to regular Latin food shops but the fries $13.99 were half the size of those spots with meat. But definitely filling. Tacos are similar & actually $1 or so less. So I recommend Tacotarian for healthier options. Tacotarian is Latin & women owned & started in Las Vegas & there they have several different locations. It's one of my aunts favorite places when she visits Vegas. So she was extremely excited to come visit her sister & find this gem below the apts she lives in.

The drill is order at the counter and food is brought out in simple dining yet sufficient ambiance. Friendly staff. Infused water. I went with the taco platter which comes with three tacos and a side salad with beans and rice. I went with the veggie- mashed potato, mushroom, onion, roasted poblano pepper, corn, garlic, lettuce, cilantro lime dressing, and pico, carne asada- seitan, guacamole, pico, and queso fresco, and mushroom asada- portobello, chili powder, onion, and cilantro. All in all, they were tasty and nourishing. Recommended!
