Mexigogi taco
Annie T.

Chicana I wanna... eat more lol My gf is vegetarian and they have all vegan foods which makes my life so much easier bc I am an omnivore so it's a good plant-based alternative for me. My favorite is the mexigogi taco bc the sauce and the way they cook their "meat" didn't make me feel like I knew I was eating vegan food. They have burritos, burgers, fries, nachos, and tacos with some dessert options. I'm glad there's a Mexican food place for vegetarians bc I feel bad they my gf has limited choices at most Mexican restaurants that don't have a good protein base. Service was quick for pick up and there's a few tables inside to eat. 10/10 would recommend.

Cali bae burrito with "asada"
Katelynn R.

First time here and it was so good! Couldn't even tell it's vegan. The guacamole and chips were divine too. Chunky guac and the chips weren't greasy at all. We ordered it all to go and it was ready on time. They double checked to make sure we got everything too.

So many awesome vegetarian and vegan options yay! El Burrito Mojado: one of the best wet burritos I've had in my life...so yummy

Mexigogi tacos

A surprising vegan find in downtown Fullerton! The restaurant inside is cozy and vibrant, with a variety of menu items including tortas, tacos, quesadillas, and breakfast items. The lady at the front gave us a breakdown of the flavor profiles of the proteins, and shared her favorite menu items. Since it was taco tuesday, we opted to try all the taco flavors and our favorites were the jackfruit carnitas and al pastor. The smoky medium salsa was a perfect complement to the sweeter flavors of the taco proteins.

First time coming here, will NOT be my last. Ordered three tacos, 1 al pastor, 1 asada, and 1 carnitas. The Al pastor had the most flavor of the three, but they were all great and served with a hearty portion of meat. Got the potato taquitos as well and they were good too, very simple in execution and so delicious! The California burrito was phenomenal as well! Great portions for all three dishes, they were shared between two people and we left stuffed and practically didn't eat the rest of the day from how filling it was. The employee at the front was sweet and the food came out quickly. Prices were also extremely reasonable, all the vegan spots I had previously gone to tended to be a little more expensive just due to the nature, but this place had great prices for the portion sizes, that alone will have me back. The restaurant itself is small but they had plenty of tables to compensate - didn't feel cramped whatsoever. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply wanting to try out plant-based spot, I'm pretty certain there's nothing on the menu that WOULDN'T be delicious. I'll be back soon enough!

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.

Mexgogi Fries with two salsas and Horchata

Excellent vegan restaurant! Delicious grub, authentic Mexican fare, burgers & tacos, bomb aguas frescas, and more! My personal favorites are the Mexgogi Fries, Chilaquiles (with jackfruit carnitas), kale salad, and the unbelievably refreshing horchata. And the Trés Leches cake is everything!!! Staff is great, very kind and considerate, there's even a little to-go stand to box up your leftovers to go, including napkins and a paper bag, without having to bother anyone. Very thoughtful! A precious gem located in downtown Fullerton. Go support Vegan Business!!

Fresh

Tacos and burgers are very tasty. Jasmine was very nice. My favorite vegan fast food. Seating arrangements has improved a lot since I last visited. Quaint.

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!

Two Carne Asada Street Tacos

One of the best Vegan Mexican restaurants I've ever been to! Reminded me of my favorite vegan taco stand I visited in Tulum. Jocelyn the cashier/server was so kind she gave us great suggestions and even gave us a Jicama Fresca on the house. Thanks again! Tacos and Nachos were so good!! Love the asada. Getting extra avocado on the nachos and extra queso for dipping is a must! Torta was good too, only thing I wish is they toasted the bun or kept it on the grill to make it crispy.

Laura A.

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.

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. :)

It's just another Mexican restaurant with just good vibes…read more The food does not represent authentic Mexican food. I ordered the asada taco plate; they were the most plain and dry tacos I have ever eaten. My first thought at first bite was that even street tacos taste better than these. The shrimp plate was also plain, with the rice tasting undercooked. So disappointed with the quality of the food. Nice place though (the restroom needs a bit more attention) . Our waitress was friendly and the restaurant has nice décor.

My friend and I wanted to find a place to grab a drink or two to catch up on life's events and…read morepicked Lagos solely based off of the pretty photos featured on their Yelp page. As part of our Yelp Elite family, my phone must eat first, so finding a spot where I could take pretty photos is usually a huge deciding factor for selecting a restaurant. We arrived to downtown Fullerton and were happy to find a spot right away in the parking structure, which is also right across from Lagos. Parking is $5/flat rate but nearby street parking is free. The outside of Lagos is beautiful. The restaurant is pretty huge. I was surprised to find the restaurant pretty empty for a Saturday night. Most of the customers were seated at the bar area, possibly to watch the game. In my opinion, maybe people edit the photos on Yelp but the online pics definitely look better than how the restaurant really looks in person. There's definitely some good and bad areas of my dining experience. Positive: Server was really nice and kept checking on us often. He was friendly, made small talks and gave us complementary chips. Our food and drinks came quickly. Most impressive was the glass sliding door of the kitchen. NegativeS: Oh My! Our server checked in on us at least 8, 9 or even over 10 times, even while my friend and I were in the middle of having a conversation. He kept asking us if we were ready to order drinks and food and desserts and ultimately offered to clear our table and dropped off a check even without being asked. If you read some of the reviews (yes, check the filtered, hidden, not recommended ones as well), others have commented on how the servers would upsell on more expensive items. This happened to me as well. Example: My friend asked the server if their flights were good. The server quickly recommended the $40 whiskey flights. I asked if they still had their Pesto pasta, he brought up the seafood pasta. Honestly, $40 for a whiskey flights and $34 for seafood pasta is inexpensive, but I just feel he would make recommendations just on the more expensive options. The worse part? I ordered their Merlot. There was only a single option on the menu for Merlot, Josh Cellar - $15.00/glass. I ended up ordering 2 glasses. When the bill came, I was charged for 2 glasses of Napa Cellars Merlot for $20/glass. This was the first time I had visited ANY restaurant or bar where they make their own decisions to change my wine order prior to checking with me first. $10 difference is not a huge deal and I would've happily agreed with the switch had they brought it up to me, but that was not the case. The waiter probably thought I wouldn't catch that, but I only failed to bring it up because that incident just made me not want to be a repeat customer. They can keep that $10. Food quality was okay. Food presentation was good. I feel Lagos tries hard to be a high end restaurant but they are lacking in too many areas.

Revolucion Cantina & Mezcaleria has a revolutionary taco Tuesday…read more... It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

OC's Best AYCE Taco Tuesday?!…read more All day Tuesday from 11 am to 10 pm, Revolucion Cantina in downtown Fullerton, CA, is the place to be! It's a taco lover's paradise where you can build your dream tacos--or even nachos with crispy chicharrones. It's wild, and guess what I made? Chicharrón nachos! My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!
