Taco Plate : birria and Al pastor
Chris S.

Very laid back/home vibe place with delicious vegan food! The staff helped us with the menu. All the items come with vegan proteins. Husband and I had the taco plate and the nachos- both had amazing flavor! The only thing is, I feel like the nacho chips got soggy a bit too quickly. I just ended up eating with a fork. For dessert we tried the vegan cheesecake - it was not the best to me but husband really liked it. We also had what appeared to be ginger snap cookies but they fell apart and were not very good. Next time we'll definitely try other options. This place is definitely worth your time! Enjoy!

El Palote Panadería is honestly one of the best vegan Mexican restaurants I've ever tried. The few dishes I got were full of flavor and really well made--it genuinely caught me off guard in the best way. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the fact that it's family-owned made the experience feel even more special. It's cozy, authentic, and you can tell they put a lot of care into everything. Even the service stood out. Their daughter was the one who took our order, and she did a really great job, it just added to how comfortable and genuine the whole place felt. It feels like a hidden gem in Dallas. It deserves way more attention, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

When you search Vegan around the area this by far is the only legit place you can find! The place is pretty cool and nicely laid out. It wasn't the nicest place but it was just a relaxing place to go after walking and not touching a drop of food at the Texas State Fair! I wasn't sure what to get and the lady working the counter was really cool and recommended the Taco Plate and I can get 3 types of tacos.... She recommended getting them with grilled and raw onions so I did.... I got the brisket, al pastor and carnitas tacos....I'll be honest they all tasted pretty good even though I tried to distinguish the tastes and textures I honestly can't remember but overall I loved the food and texture of the tacos....I think they all use the same type of soy base just with different flavors and ways to prepare the "meats". It definitely hit the spot!

Hallelujah in a sandwich!!!! I haven't tasted this bbq smoke flavor since I ate meat!! This was a revelation

Yessss!! 5 stars because you can't even tell it's vegan! Proof: I ordered EVERYTHING on the menu. My best friend who is a meat eater was with me and got the El Pastor tacos. Him: "these are good". Me: "Glad you like them, they're vegan." *mindblown* He loved them! I loved all the tacos and the most amazing thing was the BBQ sandwich!!! That sandwich lives in my dreams. In fact I'm going back tomorrow !!!

Taco Plate

This place is the real deal; not just in the sense that it's really all vegan, but it also has the small immigrant family vibe that one might find for any non-vegan Mexican taco shop in Texas. Their menu was wide in some sense; what was odd for me is that pretty much everything came with one of their fake meats, which appear to be differently spiced soy-based items that they make in house. Which is to say, they didn't actually offer any veggie tacos at a vegan Mexican restaurant, which is a little strange for me, though perhaps authentic as many other shops only have tacos with meat in them. The platter allowed me to try four different fake meats, which was a strange situation to be in since as an actual vegetarian I have no idea what the Spanish words for various meat products mean, so I even with some guidance I was just guessing. The spicy one was pretty good, some of the others were a bit tough in texture or had some odd flavor notes which might have been meant to emulate meat but which didn't quite land for me. The quality of the taco platter was otherwise high, with double layered tortillas, spiced rice and beans, and nice fresh taco fixins. I barely needed the salsas they gave me. A topo chico washed things down. Given that the place labels itself as a panaderia, I perused the baked goods, which again appeared very authentic. However, they also seemed rather carb-heavy, so I selected a fascinating brown bread topped with oats and filled with coconut and raisins. It was a rich flavor and totally lived up to the "delicioso" name. The parking lot is an easy turnoff to miss, but I would suggest making the drive as this place is a rare find.

taco plate and Enchiladas Plate

My favorite restaurant if DFW for Mexican food and for vegan eats. EVERY single one of the proteins is the most delicious thing that I have every eaten. I usually order a taco plate so that I can get the crispy chicharrones and the incredible rice and beans. The BBQ sandwich is so good too and on the weekend they have breakfast foods along with vegan fried chicken. The one thing I am not a fan of is the queso and the eggs, just not my favorite but your milage may vary. What sets this place apart from any other is the complete pan dulce bakery. They have absolutely anything you could dream of made with no dairy or animal products. The restaurant is in an older part of Dallas, far east but the drive is worth it everytime. There is usually plenty of seating, but you can also order anything to go online. They even have the option of taking the different proteins home frozen and then making your own. I would bring any vegan here, I think it is the best that Dallas has to offer.

Service is very professional and attentive. The ambiance 10/10 felt like I was eating at my aunts house so cozy and welcoming. Food was 20/10 amazing ! I tried the tacos, menudo and nachos wow we were delighted by such delicious Vegan food. Definitely coming back every time I visit Dallas

El Palote's vegan barbecue

We experienced El Palote's barbecue through a gift on Gold Belly. We've eaten vegan bbq all over the country, this is absolutely THE best bbq I've ever had, wow!! We'll be dreaming about it and are sad it's all gone.

Pretty good vegan al pastor tacos. I got the 4 taco plate with rice and beans for $12. You can taste the effort they put into the soy tacos, def better then a lot of regular taquerias out there. I do not know the nutrition of each individual taco, but you can def order a ton! A la carte ends up being ~3 a taco. where as taco plate is the same price if you buy 4 tacos but with the rice and beans with it. Rice was on the wet too fresh side of things, kinda like the boxed flavored rice you get from wal mart. Beans were fairly good, esp with no lard. I do not recommend the vegan hortchata for $5. pretty powdery. Sodas are all $4 fyi. the pan dulce is around $3.9 for a pretty big one which I would say is fair, but pan dulce is just fine for myself. Would not go back unless I was in the area.

Nice variety of bread!

Have they started serving non-vegan food items? Thought I saw something about them having a separate kitchen for new non-vegan menu items. If this is true, any idea why they did this?

Do they ship? I want to try the pasteries so bad?

I'm unsure! You can call and check! (972) 807-2673

Is the pan dulce whole grain or whole wheat? I've been looking for a bakery (panadería) that has healthier pan dulce? I see a photo of pan integral but idk if that's just one kind of bread or more than one. Thanks

Pretty sure it's whole wheat! No grains that i felt, tasted, or saw.

Sierra Valley Food - Yummy tacos  and tamales

Sierra Valley Food

5.0(11 reviews)

Stopped at the Dallas Farmer's Market and finally got the chance to try Sierra Valley Food…read more They serve authentic Mexican food that's 100% vegan. As someone who loves to try authentic dishes but can't always find vegetarian versions, I really appreciate places like this! The people there were so nice and answered all of my questions about the dishes. Their most popular taco is the al pastor - carne asada which was understandably sold out. Instead, I ordered their second most popular taco, the carnitas, which is made out of chickpeas and is served with pineapple on top. I also ordered the chorizo taco which is made out of soy. You can also get a side of their spicy sauce which was a great addiction. Both tacos looked & tasted incredible! I was so excited to try them I forgot to take a picture once I got back to my car. Highly recommend trying this place out if you are at the farmer's market. I definitely plan on going back and will go a little earlier next time to try the al pastor!

In addition to having a stand at the farmer's market, Sierra Valley Food sells packaged foods on…read moretheir website: right now they have tamales, packaged vegan "meats", salsa, queso, and taco kits - all completely vegan, of course! Delivery in DFW is currently free (in December 2020), and you can ship to other locations. We ordered a dozen mixed tamales - I love that they sell variety packs! All were really good, and not too dry or crumbly. The "pork" were my favorite. The tamales are a decent size; three tamales were enough for a hearty meal for me (with no other sides!), and I don't have a delicate appetite. I also got some al pastor and carne asada, which I'm excited to try soon. I'm local in Dallas, and my ordered was delivered the day after I placed it! The prices are super for vegan foods: a dozen tamales for $19, and $12 for a pound of pre-cooked vegan meat to use in tacos, burritos, etc. Get your socially distanced plant-based holiday tamales from Sierra Valley - they're currently taking orders for Christmas and New Year's Eve!
