Delicious! We discovered this place through google a couple of weeks ago while searching vegan restaurants in Houston. If you did not know in advance that the food is vegan, you would have no idea. I have had both the burrito and the tostadas de tinga. Both were delicious and packed full of flavor. My daughter had the tortilla soup which is very spicy but good (not for people who cannot handle spice. One of my friends had the quesadilla with the tinga (jackfruit), and she was thrilled with it. Small intimate restaurant with a great patio to enjoy when the weather is nice. read more

What a perfect little gem this place is! The service was friendly and helpful, the space is comfortable, and the food is hands down the best Mexican vegan food in Houston!! I had the Chile Relleno stuffed with jackfruit, sooo delicious. It came with a side of rice and charro beans that were so flavorful! I also had a to-go order of the Baja burrito stuffed with breaded cauliflower that was amazing as well. The flavors are authentic and extremely good. I live about 50 minutes away but will be back for the best Vegan Mexican food in town!! read more

Amazing vegan food! I was super impressed about how great the vegan cheese was, I couldn't tell that is was vegan at all. Also many options to choose from for food and a laidback ambiance of the restaurant itself. Highly recommend! read more

Nasty and extremely disappointing. If I owned my own restaurant, I would not serve a customer this trash. The picture says it all. I will never support this business again. This was my first time trying them out. This was my takeout food. read more

Fun and extensive menu. This is a great place for vegans and just lovers of great food. Lots of flavor and fun use of ingredients. From vegan Mexican brisket seasoned with hibiscus flowers to soy based vegan barbacoa there is a combination for just about everyone.

BEST TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD. Can't believe they were 100% vegan. The Birra tacos were absolutely amazing. Their cheese is the best vegan cheese out here. They need to put it on the menu for good rather than just a special. Please!! MUST TRY EVEN IF UR NOT VEGAN!!! read more

Whether you are vegan or not, this place is delicious. I love the Baja burrito and their margaritas are fabulous.

What a gem!!! First time here and already I can't wait to go back to try more delicious options! Dencel was so helpful and patient while I made the impossible decision of what to try. He made suggestions and helped me to understand some of the menu items. I ordered the Taco Platter with the barbacoa (hibiscus flower), fajita (mushrooms), papa guisada (potatoes), pollo (soy), and tinga (jackfruit) on half flour and half corn tortillas. The flour tortillas ended up being thin and kinda soggy so I will probably get corn only next time. I inhaled every single one of them. I also ordered a side of the cilantro corn rice and the only disappointment was that the container wasn't bigger. The flavor was light, but still very tasty. I'm in love with this authentic all vegan Mexican restaurant! read more

Shopping in the area and found this little gem! We ordered a Diablo chalupa, tortilla soup, and kids nachos and a taco. I will say this though, it was hella spicy!! I mean I knew it was gonna be and expecting it to be but it went above what I thought. I could have used a bit less! But despite that it was really delicious! If I'm ever on this side of town again I'll stop in for sure! read more

i got the vegan quesadilla which was super delicious!!! highly recommend :) my waitress was also super chill and friendly!

It was delicious. We had the queso - yummy. Then we had the taco plate and the flautas. We had the Mexican brisket, Tinga and Baja. It was all delicious. The charro beans were spicy and yummy. read more

I am not a vegan but I really enjoyed this place. I had the Cascabel sampler which included a mix of street tacos, beans, rice, queso and salad. Everything on the platter was very good except for the queso which was watery and tasted artificial. I really missed having chips to dip into the fantastic guacamole. They provided chicarrones. My son had the tamale plate and it was very tasty. The portions were quite generous and the service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely go again. read more

Overall the service here was good (service is 5/5) Ambiance and seating was a little cheap (ambiance 3/5). Food here was 4/5! Came during covid and they had decent outdoor seating so that was good. We are vegetarians so we were excited to go somewhere with so many options. Couple of downsides: the chile con queso was just Ok, the bathroom sink had silver fish in it (yikes) and they didn't bring us waters until we asked. The Tostada Diablo was pretty good, the Burrito was great, and the Taco sampler was nice. Good place to try once, but might consider carry out instead as the food was good. read more

I love the food here and the authenticity. They also sell the vegan meats they use near the register. The drinks are amazing as well as the customer service. I would consider myself a regular. My only note is that the food could be less oily. It bothers my stomach after but i always leave full & content read more

A little stingy on the fries... but other wise they were good. The quesadilla could be better but guacamole and chips were 10/10 read more

Cascabel - Vegan Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located in the heart of spring branch -1 mile north of Memorial city mall The restaurant seems to be a converted large family home. There is outside seating, inside seating seems to accommodate 16 tables plus there is a bar. Adult beverages coming soon. Facility is neat & clean throughout. South American Music plays in the backdrop Stopped in around 530p on a Wednesday & there was no wait. The menu features some Mexican dishes you'd expect to find at a non vegan Mexican restaurant. Such as Chile con queso, flan, horchata & tortilla soup Prices are very reasonable & in range of what you'd expect to pay at a carnivores Mexican eatery They use fresh ingredients in all dishes. The Chile con queso is served as an appetizer. The cheese which is made from potato was slightly bland & mild. It has a good consistency yet not thick as some other vegan cheeses The Burrito is average in taste. I'd get it again but would add Tinga (jackfruit) and ask them to add their secret chipotle sauce opposed to the Chorizo (soy) Service is a grade B. My service was attentive but seemed a bit distracted. Not sure if she was multitasking outside of serving because the restaurant was slow throughout the visit. Probably only 3 -5 tables max over 90 minutes On a scale from 1-5, Cascabel gets a 3.65... I'd return because of the many food options. Hopefully, the overall taste profile of the food scales up before the next visit read more

Food is so good, ordered online and picked up. They had it ready quick and customer service was great. Love the outdoor dining area, haven't sat and ate there but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves!! This is one of those staple places. read more

This place slaps! As a meat eater I was blown away by how good everything was. We tried the sampler, the Birria Taco plate, taco platter, the torta, and the kids cheese quesadilla. Our group shared everything so that we could all get a bit and try as much as possible. Everything was fantastic. Service was also great. Our server patient answered our questions and gave us some great recommendations. As for the atmosphere... We sat in the outdoor area that was nice and shaded with plenty of room. Overall, this was such a great experience. We will be stopping by to try their brunch next. Super hyped! read more

Vegan babies bring your self here now ^~^)/ tacos amazing, I'm going to try it all soon!!

Do not miss out on this place!!!! It's so good. We have gotten takeout MANY times since we moved to SETX and always enjoy it. Baja burrito, chorizo burrito, and the flautas are our usual picks, but I really don't think you can go wrong here on anything. And don't even get me started on the pan dulce!!! It's fantastic. Picked up a ton last time to have for breakfast the next morning. read more

Outstanding place! My family and I (3 generations) have dined here probably 5-7 times over several years, always early to mid-afternoon, and the food and service have been great every time. We usually stay with the lunch/dinner menu items and apps. Everything has been delicious and portions are generous! The staff are personable and helpful. It's a very casual place in a quirky old house, with a smallish dining area inside and a nice patio under a big tree and a smaller, more enclosed patio to the right of the entrance. Highly recommend!

Unsure of what to think.... I will probably get roasted for this, but here we go. My family and I have had our eye on this place since the soft opening. Because of the "rave" reviews, we decided to finally try it. Full disclaimer, we are not at all vegans, but are always open to trying new things. In fact, I've had delicious vegan options at other establishments. After convincing a skeptical group of carnivores to come here... we were left a little disappointed (and hungry). Probably, the fact that it was noon (prime time lunch hour)and it was completely empty, foreshadowed that maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be. The good: The aroma upon walking in is divine. I thought "great, if this is an indicator of the rest of the experience, we are in good shape." Service (our waiter) was good and attentive. Yummy sodas imported from Mexico - grapefruit and coke. Made in-house tortilla chips with guacamole was ok. Buuuut, for the price point (I think $7 or $8) it should be the best guac I've ever had. Especially at a place that is so focus-centric on vegan options. The avocados found atop most dishes were fresh. In fact, I don't see a problem with the "freshness," everything seems to be prepared fresh and in-house. All food came at hot and at a good pace (not too fast and not too slow). Additionally, as a native "spring branchian" I am all for supporting local businesses and helping the area grow and thrive. I was hoping this would be a great addition to my rotation. The mediocre: The "Chicharrones" they bring out are alright. I would be mad if I were paying for it, but since they were free, they were tolerable. Horchata was okay, but fell on the watery side. The atmosphere is unique. I've enjoyed the previous tenants at this location, so it was familiar and cute. The owner did not seem super happy to be there, so that's always a strange vibe. No bar, but BYOB. Apparently they are working on this. I also saw on their social media they have agua frescas and other off-menu items, but there was no where these were advertised as options in the restaurant. The not-so-good: Chile con queso. For those claiming that the difference between animal-based queso and plant-based is nonexistent are completely full of it. I'm sorry. With the reviews directing me in direction stated, I fully expected a creamy, full-bodied appetizer. The queso had a pureed, soup-like texture. The pico de Gallo served alongside made it slightly better, but still largely inedible. It was pretty much downhill from there. I did not try the chorizo and pastor quesadilla, but my family was not impressed. I did try the cheese quesadilla, and it was a soupy cheese mess. The fries, which the kids' menu came with, were soggy and flavorless ($7 price point without drink is a bit steep). My children did not touch anything other than the ketchup on the plate. The tortilla soup and tinga taco had a strange smell. So off-putting that I was not interested in taking any more bites of either. My brother got the pastor burrito, it was probably the best option; however, all of the flavors and toppings kind of blended together (think: mush) with it hard being able to pick up on individual ingredients and textures. I will say, again, I am not vegan, nor claim to be. I enjoy plant-based dishes just as much as the rest of us (I have many friends and family that can whip up some delicious fare), but this just missed the mark. Maybe I do not know what to expect from a vegan Mexican restaurant (with this being my first time), but I do know what to expect from Tex-mex, and this was not close. Maybe we came on an off day. But I will not be back. I just do not think the price point justifies the experience, atmosphere, or food. As a side note, my brother said that compared to other vegan food he's tried, this is a better option. So IMO, just because it's "good for a vegan restaurant" does not make it "good" as a whole. Point blank: tasty vs. not tasty, with the latter being more fitting for my taste. Pretty sure if you put enough taco seasoning on anything it will taste decent enough. read more
