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.

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!!

Mexigogi tacos
Smita N.

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.

Asada Taco, Carnitas Taco, Al Pastor Taco, Potato Taquitos, California Burrito
Allegrah S

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.

Two Carne Asada Street Tacos
Dante C.

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.

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!

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. :)

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

Nachos
Heather N.

I've been coming to this place for years and it is so delicious. I usually get nachos, unless I'm not starving and then I get a couple tacos. I bring my non-vegan/vegetarian friends here and they love it too. The food quality is high and the portions are big. They are a tiny bit pricey (I'm sure their rent is insane here), but it's worth it to support a small business. I've always gotten great service when I went in and the place always looks really clean. I would eat here weekly if I could.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and it was not busy. There are a lot of tables inside with a stage towards the front for live music. The space is light on decor with exception of the walls which had images of lion dancers and other things. Food is ordered at the front and brought to the table when ready. We got the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms and the Eggplant Tofu. The Crispy Oyster Mushrooms came in a portion size that was larger than we expected. They tasted like the Salt and Pepper Squid dish that my family gets from Chinese restaurants which we really like. However, the breading was heavy and a lot of the pieces at the bottom were oily. The Eggplant Tofu was solid. Both the Eggplant and tofu were cooked well and had a nice savory sauce. This dish came with rice on the side. Overall, giving Vegan District Asian Eatery a 4/5. The space is clean and spacious and the staff are nice. The flavors of the food are good. Would recommend to anyone looking for vegan Asian food and would come back to try other things on the menu.

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. I can't believe I've just been passing this gem behind for so long! Will definitely come back with some company next time around.
