I wasn't expecting to love a vegan Mexican spot this much, but wow--this place completely surprised me in the best way. First off, the concept alone is so unique. You don't usually see vegan Mexican done like this, and they really nailed it. The ambience is super chill and calm--perfect for a low-key meal where you can actually relax and enjoy your food. What really stood out too was the customer service. They were so patient and genuinely kind--took the time to explain the menu, what everything was made of, and gave helpful recommendations without rushing me at all. That made the experience even better, especially if you're new to vegan options. I ended up getting the fish taco plate and OMG... every single bite was so good. The flavors were rich, satisfying, and didn't feel like anything was "missing" just because it's plant-based. And whatever sauce they put on those tacos?? Please never take that off the menu--it absolutely makes the dish. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. Whether you're vegan or not, it's 100% worth trying. read more

Amazing recommendation for those who love to support small businesses and try/eat vegan food!! My boyfriend and I had a great experience here and will be coming back most definitely. We ordered the Quesabirria Tacos with an order of the Esquite Fries served with the choice of Al Pastor. Their Birria is substituted with jackfruit which was amazing and I highly recommend for those who adore jackfruit. The service was lovely and Carlos was very kind, we appreciate all of the love that was found in his business, and you can feel it from the moment you step into the door. If you're looking for somewhere new to try, and love vegan food, check this place out. Looking forward to trying their fish tacos and taquitos next visit. Thank you for the amazing vegan food!!! Legendary :) read more

Just woah! I have passed by this place several times but finally had a chance to try it! Service was amazing and they made us feel very welcomed! I got my food to go since I was running late but even after letting things sit until lunchtime everything was incredible!! The vegan pozole tasted so traditional and came with all the fixings including tostadas. The torta was soft and very filling as well as very flavorful! This felt like a traditional Mexican place but vegan!! Would 100% come back again. There is plenty of space to sit and a public restroom available! Rating 100/10 read more

Great food and great customer service! I recommend the al pastor quesadilla. Its delicious

The reviews must all be from total vegans as our family of five found the food to be bland. We are part -time vegetarians and of Mexican ancestry so so we know Mexican food. For example, I ordered the taquitos. No salt whatsoever! Come on folks, potatoes need salt , especially if that's all the filling. None of the salsas were hot. That's our opinion. read more

Just because I need to try more items, I'll be giving a four and returning back at a later time. Service was patient and kind to me. and the overall restaurant was cute. It's not very busy right now but I'm sure it'll pick up read more

The torta was so good!! Their salsa is spicy but so good ( I got the green one). Service was also great.

IE vegan meetup was held last Saturday at BZ Taco. Had a wonderful get together plus the super duper welcoming owner and staffs. Well located in a nice plaza in Redlands. One of the best Vegan Mex dishes I've ever had. Two soy fish tacos were yummy and filling. Also we were kindly offered to sample the Veg Posole. Definitely will come back to BZ next time in Redlands read more

Decent option for vegan Mexican food in the area! The 3 taco plate is a little over $15. Fairly sodium-forward because it's plant based meat and flavors are all a little similar and one-dimensional, so definitely add the salsas and lime! Rice is pretty good, beans are a little salty too. They have a self-serve free chip station which I've never seen before and thought was very kind of the owners! Very kind owners, if for nothing else, check them out to support them! read more

BZ Taco - Taco plate with Al pastor, chikn and asada - Mexican Near Me - Redlands, California

My vegetarian friend picked this place for her birthday outing to accommodate me, the vegan problem in the group, lol I'm so glad she did! Super clean inside. Pretty decorations. And the food! She and I split an order of the Taquitos Dorados (potato taquitos) and Quesabirria tacos. She got a horchata and I got an iced caramel coffee. Everything was scrumptious! But hands down the best was the Quesabirria tacos. Could have eaten a whole catering platter on my own! The people were super nice too! The cashier was super helpful and so nice! Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Okay, while I'm not a vegetarian guy, I appreciate all the health benefits of eating vegetarian. There are several studies about the Blue Zones, BZ, and their quality of health life and longevity. At BZ Taco, I was hard pressed to taste that this wasn't real meat inside our fried tacos and burrito. We picked up our order to go. We started with the Quesabirria. This is basically 2 fried tacos with a generous side of consumme (beef tasting dipping au jus). As you can see in the tacos' pic, they were fried but not crispy, deep fried. And you can see the generous amount of "beef". The "beef" had the requisite texture and chew of good qualify beef - I won't be asking "where's the beef?" (This is a generational fast food TV ad - it's funny, if you haven't seen it.) The consumme is runny but added a nice additionally bit of "beef" flavor (tip: this taco becomes messy after dipping, so plan ahead). We also had a "meat" burrito. This was a larger sized burrito and also had good textured artificial meat. The tortilla was good - the right amount of chew and resistance to sogginess. We liked what we ate. The natural Mexican flavors made the vegetarian "meats" tasty. read more

After a friend recently texted me a photo of this newly opened plant based Mexican restaurant, I knew I had it visit it immediately. Upon arrived the restaurant, I liked that it had outdoor seating available. Once inside, hubby and I were warmly greeted by one of the restaurant owners and felt relaxed by upbeat and rhythmic music playing in the background. While I looked at the menu, hubby shared with the male restaurant owner that he had a nut allergy and the owner replied only the horchata contains peanuts. Hubby also asked about the sauces for their taquitos and the owner replied that the taquitos come with green sauce, red sauce, or pineapple salsa. After looking at the menu packet available at the restaurant counter, I ordered a vegan chicken quesadilla and a vegan fish taco while hubby ordered a vegan asada burrito. Our food arrive quickly and hubby was surprised by how large and filling the burrito was. Although hubby is vegetarian (and they had traditional cheese available to put in his burrito if he asked,) he said he preferred the BZ vegan asada burrito without any cheese over his regular Chipotle's sofritas burrito. My vegan quesadilla was large and flavorful especially accompanied by salsa, lettuce, guacamole, and vegan creama. The vegan fish taco was perfectly sized and I was surprised that dispute it having house made chipotle sauce, it didn't set my mouth on fire. As we finished our meal at the restaurant we promised to definitely visit again soon since it is conveniently located in the same shopping plaza as Trader Joe's and Vons we either eat a meal at the restaurant first then go grocery shopping or visa versa.

I've been eating here for a hot minute but I'm finally able to take a minute to leave a review! The Pozole and the Fish Taco are my fave! But that is not the only thing great on the menu! I'm just a creature of habit and those are what I love and want to order constantly what I've tried has been delicious so far :) The owner is amazing and the first time I came in she and her husband were there and it was slow so we could talk a bit about what inspired the opening of the shop etc. and it was the first time I'd ever been able to try Pozole because I'm vegetarian and it's amazing and now it's a huge comfort craving and this one is amazing highly recommend! And the everyone I've interacted with that works here has been so kind and will explain things if needed and the salsas are incredible as well! I order via DoorDash or come in to the shop :) The shop when I come in is usually quieter but I work remote so I come in at odd hours outside of dinner time. The shop is clean and the decor is warm, bright and beautiful :) read more

BZ Taco - The Pozole and Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Redlands, California

It was our first time at this location. It is in a very cute plaza seems like close to downtown Redlands. It was really nice and clean inside, and the owner (I think he was the owner) Carlos was very friendly and welcoming. He was helpful with all questions I had about the menu as a first timer here. The food was amazing. We tried a couple different things and loved all of them so we couldn't pick a favorite lol. The horchata was delicious, followed by fish tacos and those were crisp, fresh, a bit tangy and spicy. The taco plate that comes with beans and rice is also very tasty( I picked asada, guisada, and al pastor). The quesobirria was also to die for, and you can't even tell it was made with jackfruit. The asada burrito was huge and filled with all kinds of goodness. As a vegan for me this was my favorite new place to eat. Thank you guys and we will come back for sure. read more

I ordered a burrito with asada meat and it was decent. It was filling, but it tasted a little bland. I will give this place another chance. I think they have quality food. Their service was very friendly and super fast for a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. Inside they have a good amount of seating. I wouldn't go with a large party of 10 or more though. You would not be sitting together. It's a small place that has a lot to character. There are many things are their menu that I want to try like pozole and vegan horchata. read more

Eat Here Now! Wow!!!! New restaurant, 100% plant-based menu, and absolutely the most incredible food! We tried to get a bit of everything and there was not a single item that was not absolutely delicious! And even better was the kindness of the staff. After we ordered all our food, my dad asked us if we wanted chips and guac. The person taking our order (may be the owner) told us he thought we had enough food. In what world is a staff member so kind and honest that they let you know you're over ordering? We got the chips anyways, and ate nearly everything because it was that good, but that's the kind of business I want to come back to time and again to support! Wow is all I can say! read more

I'm not vegan but this is one of my favorite places to eat in Redlands. Food is always fresh and flavorful, especially the homemade salsas. I usually order the three taco combo, and I've also tried the pozole which is excellent. The owners are very friendly and my meal comes out quickly. Highly recommended! read more

Due to a health condition, I was advised by my doctors to switch to become vegan if I want to keep my kidneys. As I make this transition, I'm finding extremely difficult. I've tried some various recipes and I'm starting to adjust, however; not always having the opportunity to prepare meals for ourselves means we have to stop at some restaurants. I was in the Redlands area and my girlfriend googled vegan restaurants. This place came up on our radar. I have to say, the food is delicious. I don't often give a five stars, however this place deserves it for several reasons. The food is fresh, the environment is clean, the restauranteur is very welcoming and friendly. The restroom was immaculate, many places these days don't even offer a restroom. This place offered it, and as I went to use it, the restroom was clean, the soap was filled, there were tail, gaskets, and hot water to wash with. I'm very pleased to give this place my highest recommendation, if you're in the mood for vegan, Mexican food, I highly recommend BZ Taco, even if you are a meat eater. read more

This is only the second fully vegan Mexican restaurant we ever been to. The menu has a wide variety available including vegan horchata. I had a burrito and hubby had the meatball Mexican soup. Both were very good tasting. The presentation of the burrito was lacking. It is just a burrito on a plate with no garnish or salsa. But as I said it tasted very good. The staff were super friendly. The prices were reasonable and the place was very clean. It is a casual restaurant. read more

Impressive I placed a to go order every item I ordered was packed with care including the pozole and nothing leaked or spilled . The food was tasty and without being too spicy so you could taste different flavors and spices. There is a variety of mild to spicy salsa on the self serve salsa bar Everything was clean. read more

This place is a gem! First, the food: incredible! I've been waiting for a good vegan Mexican restaurant with seating and a bathroom. This place is so legit they even have pickled onions, salsas, and jalapeños that you serve yourself. The nachos are surprisingly good with asada. The tacos are great. And the ultimate challenge: the rice is bomb. Service, you order at the counter and the food comes quick. Very nice folks, family vibes. What else can you ask for? read more

BZ taco was pretty good and would definitely try again when visiting or passing through! Tried the 'fish' tacos plate, guac and chips, and albondigas, and coffee late. all was really good and the beans and rice stood out to me because I feel that very few vegan places get it right (especially the rice). Can't wait to try more of their menu next time. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional, and the staff was warm and welcoming. My guest and I look forward to returning to BZ Taco soon. We ordered the three-taco plate, the chile relleno burrito, and the queso birria - each dish was outstanding. read more

And complimentary Mexican corn chips and salsas! Those are goood! Banana! read more

Another amazing vegan gem found in the city of Redlands !! My family and I were coming down the mountain from big bear and were in the mood for something vegan and found this place . Best vegan mexican food we've had in a long time !! It's small and would not have found it if it wasn't for it being on my map on our phone but they are very friendly and clean . Rosa the owner and head cook even came out and greeted us , was very nice . Delia the cashier was so nice and patient with my wife as she was so exited to try everything . Had to stop her from ordering the whole menu lol . But that being said everything we had was delicious !! For sure I recommend this and you should put this on your stop list going up and coming down the mountain to big bear . read more

As a vegetarian, it can be hard to find exciting Mexican food. I miss street tacos so badly! But yesterday, I was able to enjoy them again at Bz Taco! I got the fish taco and the taco plate with al pastor, guisada, and chickin. Everything was amazing, flavorful, and authentic. I ate past the point of fullness because I didn't want to stop! The rice and beans that came with the taco plate were also delicious, and I loved all the salsas (the red was especially good). I had jamaica to wash it all down--so refreshing and not too sweet. Thank you for all you do, Bz Taco! I can't wait to try more of your menu! read more

Amazing Mexican food! Always on point. The food is tasty fresh and best of all Vegan. Even if you're not vegan you most certainly enjoy the food. It's a local small business.

What a wonderful new plant based, vegan Mexican food spot in Redlands! Much needed, authentic, homestyle Mexican cooking. The plant based proteins were all fantastic and the horchata was next level. The owner, Oscar, provides wonderful insight into the foods. 10/10 would recommend. This is going to be a regular spot! read more

The staff is always friendly and the place is always clean. We were very happy to find a good vegan spot locally. The recipe on the asada changed from when they first opened and unfortunately, it is not as delicious as the original recipe. I am sad to say we will not be coming back to this place unless the recipe changes back. My husband ordered the taco plate and I ordered the asada fries. It was just not the same and left the place feeling disappointed. read more

The food here is wonderful! I received my order through Door Dash so I can't speak to the service or ambiance (yet), but I will definitely be visiting in the immediate future. I had the taquito plate. The taquitos were perfectly crispy and fresh--not too soft or hard. The plate had delicious toppings including vegan cream/cheese and lettuce. The picked onions were perfect and really made the meal top-notch. The beans and rice were VERY good. I can tell they are house-made as they have such a good depth of flavor. Also good texture and fresh. I would love to see vegan red enchiladas added to the menu! I bet they would be incredible from this restaurant. So excited this place exists! read more

The vegan nachos with al pastor and an horchata were delicious. The fake cheese and crema are so creamy. I'm not vegan and the fake meat was tasty, too. The drink is so sweet and cinnamony. Definitely would recommend this place. read more
