I'm obsessed! The service was outstanding, and the woman behind the counter answered all of my questions with so much patience and kindness. Ambience is quiet and neutral perfect for a quick bite by yourself or with someone. As someone who doesn't eat red meat, this place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for nachos. The food tastes authentic and packed with flavor. The portion sizes are great for the price, big enough to share with someone else. I'll definitely be coming back.

Burrito

Holy, I think this was probably the best I've had from here! PARKING: there is street parking in front of the restaurant but it's a high traffic kinda area so we usually don't park there. I like to utilize the lot nearby since it's walking distance (3 minutes tops.) There is a wide selection of food here, from burgers to burritos to tacos -- they have a great selection! I saw they recently added some meatball soup and posole. I will definitely have to return to give that a try. I usually stick to the burgers with an impossible patty and can I just say they are exceptional! Well seasoned and delicious. I usually stick with my cali dreamin burger but that breakfast burger was absolutely delicious. It had a perfectly crisp hash brown :) Service was a bit more reserved today but I'm not complaining here. Absolutely love Cheyenne and the other worker with curly hair (I forgot her name but she has an autism badge of some sort.) They always make my day with their great service! We came at a good time. It was quiet and peaceful. The tables were cleaned and they recently added a self serve station!! Absolutely love that. By far, one of my favorite vegan places to frequent :) highly recommend this place.

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
Jocelyn M.

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.

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!

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!

Mexgogi fries
Cat C.

You know I'm not a vegan but this place is actually really really good. My favorite was the carnitas tacos. It tasted almost like the real thing. The French fries for mexgogi fries were so crispy! And I tried the chile de arbol hot sauce and it was quite tasty and has a nice kick . The place itself was small but quite cute. And the service was quick and efficient.

Love the inside.

You have to other on a screen, there's minimal interaction with staff. Food was ok, it needed a more flavor. I got the mushroom burger.

What a cool little diner! Super clean and menu is impressive (breakfast served all day!)…read more This is the kind of "mom and pop" burger place that gives you all your basics, and still served to perfection. This is definitely that place that gives you about 5 lbs. of onion rings on one order! lol I'm not complaining! Any burger place can grill a burger pretty well, but I always test a place based on their patty melt and boy oh boy it was a 10/10! Grilled onions were juicy, rye bread toasted and crispy, burger fresh and full of flavor. Simply put, wow. Come by Brea's burgers if you are close by, take a small walk down memory lane and you will be back, I know I will! You will definitely be greeted with a smile and the service is super fast and friendly.

Dumpy patio, was fun to take the dogs here. Front Employees seemed nice but then I had an exchange…read morewith the cook that wad beyond senseless. Ordered a burger, a pattymelt fries, a puppy patty for the dogs and a drink. Everything was decent, we come here for convience not a incredible dining experience. Pattymelt was given to us with no carmelized onion. Took it back to the chef and he acted like I was an idiot for not asking for it with onion. Rude, wasted my time and no longer convenient which is this places bread and butter because the food isn't great. Very disapointing, chef had us waiting for onion while our food got cold and then didnt even make the pattymelt, just gave us a tray with partially cooked onion. their menu has by default carmelized onion.
