Chicana is a downtown Fullerton eatery serving up vegan tacos, burritos, burgers, and more. Parking in DTF is always hit and miss, but you might get lucky and score a spot right out front on Commonwealth, or more likely in the parking lot right behind the restaurant. The inside is a little on the small side, but there are several tables, as well as two bar shaped tables facing the front window, which makes for good people watching. The walls are decorated nicely with a large colorful mural on one wall, and the other with greenery and Veganland spelled out in Hollywood sign letters. Both walls feature their superhero character. They also have a small patio with several tables behind the building. I stopped by to place and wait for a to-go order for my girlfriend. Jocelynn was at the register and was very friendly. When my order was ready, she brought it out to the table where I was sitting and waiting. I brought home an al pastor taco and two jackfruit carnitas tacos ($3.75 each), the kale salad ($7.95), and some extra salsa. I didn't taste any of the food myself, but she loved it all and said it was five stars all the way.

Met up with my friends here for a few reasons.... I'm Vegan, we needed somewhere where pets can hangout with us and it was pretty much between where we live. Please note "pet friendly" doesn't mean you can bring pets inside even just to order food....technically that is the law even though some places let you order and leave with food if you bring a pet.... They have a back small courtyard area to eat and you can bring your dogs out that way....I got a breakfast burrito and it was really good and I would highly recommend that as a choice to eat....my friends got tacos, ramen and another got the breakfast burrito as well.... Everything was really good and what I wanted....I'm glad I finally made it out to try this place....even if you aren't Vegan give it a chance!

Pozole verde, crack tacos, chilaquiles, sopes, animals fries

Omg omg omg, super duper fantastically delicious! My friend and I popped in for lunch because I remember hearing about the Crack tacos. We ended up ordering and sharing: 1. Pozole verde - I wanted a whole vat it's so yum. Didn't need the lime squeeze but it lifted it because it had so much in it. 2. Crack tacos - Oh man it's been a while but they taste like jack in the crack tacos I remember lol #nostalgia 3. Sopes w/carnitas and asada - I'm a sucker for a good sope. Hard to beat the crisp "container" and rich creamy and crunchy fillings. 4. Animaless fries - ok hello seasoned fries! Perfect replica creamy deliciousness. 5. Chilequiles - this is how I judge a spot and A1! I had a lil leftover which was amazing the next day, whoohoo It was a weekday lunch so there was some street spots on Commonwealth, plus plenty in the lot but I can see it getting busy. We ordered on the screen where you order yourself and sat in the back where they brought us the food. The tables and chairs in the back have decent spacing. Definitely will return if I'm in the area

Sooooo good!!!!! This was my second time coming here. My husband's first time. I was so excited to come back! The food here is amazing! One of the best vegan food restaurants. I absolutely love the Calibaerito (cali burrito vegan style). It is so filling and delicious! It's loaded with lots of fries. Next time I will do extra cheese on the burrito. I also ordered the supreme fries. Those were huge with a ton of fries! I did asada for the fries and the Cali burrito. The supreme fries were top notch! So good!! You just have to eat it fast before the fries get soggy lol I also tried an Al pastor taco. It was okay. I don't think I like the Al pastor meat. I'd order a taco again, but do the asada meat for protein. My husband had the mushroom burger and animal style French fry. He loved both. The animal style French fry was a huge hit for him. He enjoyed the mushroom burger too. This was a win all around! Service was good. They are very friendly and kind people. I love this place! We will be back. :)

Love their tacos! My gf got a breakfast English muffin sandwich and it was amazing, too.

A friend had recommended this spot a few weeks ago and we recently went to check it out. The place was rather small inside, but they have a really cute patio in the back with plenty of extra seating. I've never had vegan Mexican food before but this place hit the spot, everything was SO good. Fast and very friendly service too. Can't wait to visit again next time I'm in the area.

Cali-Bae burrito

Had to make the trek out here to try the Jax Crispy Tacos, wanted to see if I could relive my youth (the days when my body could take a beating with greasy food and I was ignorant of the horrors of factory farming). Glad to say the tacos delivered, I had no stomach pain, and my conscience is clear! Had the tacos and some animaless fries. Spouse got the Cali-Bae burrito. Food was good, service was great. Knocking off one star because they could not tell me for sure if any desserts were soy-free, as their book with ingredients only says "dairy free milk". Please get more specific and I'll change my rating. Soy is such a common allergen that not knowing can put some at risk.

Fries and nachos

Went back and again top quality. Got there as they were switching from the breakfast to lunch menu. They are clearly passionate about their food and the place was doing a good amount of business. Support them!

Mexgogi fries (- jalapeños)
Melanie G.

Pretty good spot for an all-vegan Mexican eatery! I got the Mexigogi fries which had a lot of flavor and they didn't skimp on anything! The portion size was big enough to last me 2 meals. The fries were well balanced between crispy and fluffy. The vegan bulgogi was slightly sweet, as bulgogi should be! They perhaps could've given a little more of the vegan cheese and other sauce, but overall it was good! This past Sunday afternoon there was a very sweet woman who said it was her 2nd day on the job and she provided great customer service! Very happy and quick to help!

Street tacos (carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, and Mexgogi).

So incredibly delicious!! We tried the horchata, carne asada burrito, street tacos (carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, and Mexgogi), and the tres leches cake. Everything was amazing, but the Al pastor and tres leches were our favorite!! Wish I tried this place sooner and will definitely be back for more! Service was also lovely and prompt! My pickup order was ready upon arrival and the young lady who assisted me was welcoming and had attention to detail. Bravo, Chicana Vegana!

We wanted to eat somewhere with fast food service and saw this place that looked promising. I'm not a big fan of vegan food but I ordered the California burrito which includes French fries inside. They offer mild chili salsa to add to the burrito and I must say the food was very tasty. The fries are nice and crispy and the flavoring is so good. There are plenty of selfie opportunities inside and outside the restaurant.

pastor and asada
Stephanie C.

i absolutely love chicana vegana and ive been back about 4-5 times, their fries are so saucy crispy and LOADED UP their fries are more seasoned and crispy than other places, or at least this recent batch. i personally was a little underwhelmed this time since the previous times the portion was way bigger. the toppings were really seasoned though, that jackfruit was absolutely spectacular and amazing. inside the store i think the ac was broken so it was really hot and a bit uncomfortable, however the wonderful server was so kind and she explained every item to us with so much patience haha, definitely appreciate that!

Love the inside.
Missy L.

Love love loved this place today. My husband and I came in and shared the Cali burrito, chili Mac, and fries. Everything was so good! We ordered extra sauces on the side and the sour cream and habanero aioli were our faves. Jocelyn helped us out and was so kind and answered all of our questions. She checked up on us and so did Sam! My husband, baby, and I enjoyed our lunch in the little patio area which was so perfect. Thanks for awesome lunch and great service!

And let me be clear--this is NOT your average coffee. This is the kind of coffee that makes you question every other cup you've ever had. Now let's talk food. The chilaquiles burrito? Life-changing. Perfectly saucy, flavorful, and somehow comforting and exciting at the same time. And the tres leches French toast... I wish I was being dramatic, but I'm not when I say I think about it way too often. It's rich, soft, and just the right amount of sweet--basically dessert disguised as breakfast, and I fully support it. At this point, I'm borderline addicted and honestly not even trying to fix that. If you're debating whether to try this spot, just go. And if you see me there on a Tuesday... no you didn't.

We have ordered this twice so far through Uber Eats on a Sunday morning. The first time, we tried the Famoso burrito and the chilaquiles burrito. Both come with some fresh chips and a side of salsa. Neither me or my partner preferred the chilaquiles burrito. The chips had no crunch left and I needed more sauce/flavor. We totally recognize this could be because we had it delivered though. We both really liked the famoso burrito though. It's a large serving, and I was able to turn my burrito into two portions. We also tried their coffee and cold brew. My partner really liked their cafe de olla cold brew.

I wanted a sandwich and decided here because of the vegan cold cut. The bread was a traditional sub style with an absolutely delicious crispy crust.

My husband got the vegan supreme pizza and it was loaded with veggies. It's a take away only spot- which we didn't know but the wait was reasonable and the service was friendly.

I ordered online and took advantage of their deal 10 wings with a large pizza+ one small speciality supreme ($51) The order for ready before due time. I picked up a couple extra slices of chocolate cake and Oreo cheesecake ($15). We used to devour the pizza here with less than 3 slices leftover. This time, we had more than half a large pizza left. The pizza really was meh and the wings were worse than home made. Lemon pepper was way too lemony/sour and not palatable. The garlic parm was also did not meet expectations. Sad part is, the dessert was the best part and they probably ordered from an outside vendor. Overall, it was a disappointing pizza and wing experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

I got a seat with a bit of sunlight coming in from the window and that felt like the perfect touch. Avery is so kind. She immediately mentioned the Soup of the Day and the blend for the herb water and I knew I had to get both! They rotate both out every single day depending on what they have on hand, which is a great indicator that they source their ingredients fresh. The soup was puréed eggplant with a coconut milk or cream base and it was the creamiest eggplant dish I'd ever had in my life. Very smooth, no seeds. I didn't even know eggplant could get to that consistency. It's a beautiful soup and I would come back just for that. Arabic tea was not as strong as I'd had in other restaurants but for a nice dining place like this, I think it's good that it wasn't so bitter. Maybe it's also because I dunked a whole packet of honey in mine beforehand Beef stew was great. There were only a few beef chunks but if you're a fan of the vegetable you're choosing (I love zucchini so that worked out well for me), then it's a perfect portion for one.

Green Tomato Grill -- Hits the Spot Every Time…read more Sometimes you just want food that actually makes you feel good after you eat it... Green Tomato Grill is that place. Fresh, clean, and reasonably priced; it's the kind of spot that earns a regular spot in your rotation without putting a dent in your wallet. If you're only going to take one piece of advice, let it be this: order the vegan breakfast burrito. It is filling in the best possible way, the kind of meal that carries you through the whole day and has you already thinking about the next visit before you've even finished it. It just hits the spot. The crispy cauliflower is worth every bite too... perfectly done and the kind of dish that makes you forget you're eating something good for you. And the house salad? Refreshing, simple, and a solid reminder that when ingredients are quality, you don't need to overthink it. For anyone navigating dietary needs, Green Tomato Grill quietly delivers. Excellent gluten free options, solid vegan choices, and a menu that doesn't make you feel like an afterthought for having them. Whether you're plant based, gluten free, or just looking for something lighter that doesn't sacrifice flavor, this place has you covered. Service isn't going to blow you away, nothing overly warm or memorable, but they take care of you quickly and efficiently and honestly sometimes that's exactly what you need. No fuss, no long waits, just get in, eat well, and get on with your day. And here's the thing that keeps me coming back... consistency. You always know what you're going to get here. No off days, no guessing, no crossing your fingers hoping it's as good as last time. It just is. Every time. That kind of reliability is honestly underrated and harder to find than it should be. Overall it's just good, honest food that refreshes rather than weighs you down. Highly recommend making this one a regular stop.

If the bold title tells me what the kids/small bowl comes with, I am confused why am I paying an extra $2 for a chicken protein. I was told because I had to refer to another menu that gives protein pricing. But again you can't say for $7.96 you get protein and 2 veggies. It is very misleading and the menu needs updating. On to food: I order chili verde sauce and got teriyaki. The teriyaki was a bit salty for my liking but it definitely needed sauce because the rice and beans is dry. Chicken on its own was okay. I rate the bowl 3/5 Ambiance was nice and it looked very clean inside. Staff was helpful and gave options on what to pick. Sad I didn't get the chili verde. I'm sure it would have probably went better with the meal. Customer service 4/5
