    Quick question -- how the heck do they do it? This is outrageously good mexican food, nevermind the fact that it's vegan (a huge plus for me). I got the Buffalo Birdie to go and it was still life altering. And I'm a latina TX transplant from southern california!! I'm really hard to please!!

    The Vegan Nom is a great casual taco spot on the east side and a solid win for anyone looking for late-night vegan eats in Austin. The atmosphere has that classic Austin food truck charm--laid-back, colorful, and a little funky in a good way. It's a great place to grab food with friends or enjoy a quick bite outdoors. We ordered all five of their signature tacos to try a little bit of everything, and the standout for us was definitely the vegan fish taco. The texture was surprisingly close to real fish and the flavor was perfectly seasoned with a nice balance of tang and crunch. The sauces they use really bring everything together, especially their creamy jalapeño sauce--highly recommend adding it to whatever you order! One more thing I appreciate: they're open until 10 PM, which makes it a lifesaver for late eaters who still want something flavorful and plant-based.

    Being in Austin, Texas, it's a challenge not to eat meat every day, and I was looking for something vegetarian. Vegan Nom was recommended to me. I went later on a Saturday, it's in a food truck spot (there are so many) along Caesar Chavez Street in East Austin. There's a lot to choose from on the menu. I tried the Chilaquilas Roja, Korean BBQ taco, Del Ray fish taco, and Grilled Avocado Reale with a can of Rambler. Everything was delish. Pretty reasonably priced, too. The chef busily made everything. Picnic tables.

    Vegan Nom is the anchor spot at this little food truck park, and it's easy to see why. The menu has a ton of options, not just 4 or 5 like so many places now, so there's something for everyone. Even non-vegans like me can feel overwhelmed with so many good choices. I had two breakfast tacos, which were super filling (and gone way too fast). The salsas are self serve and are excellent. Great spot with a decent parking lot plus street parking, and they even have Rambler sparkling water on hand.

    I ordered 5 different kinds of tacos! They all were very appetizing to look at, and I was so excited to try them. I am very sad to say that I was disappointed with the flavors of most of them. Really liked the fish taco-very refreshing and not too salty. I think my least favorite was kbbq- it just didn't taste like kbbq seasoning at all. And some other taco meats were too mushy for my liking. Maybe I need to try different items than taco next time and see! But I liked the overall vibe and the fact that they were all vegan!

    Tucked away in another food truck park in East Austin, this spot specializes in vegan dishes. I came on a Monday night and only two trucks were open, but this was exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the Super Fresco and the Grilled Avocado Reale. The texture and flavor of the super fresco would surprise any meathead and delight anyone steering clear of meat. But the star of the show was the Avocado Reale. Both tacos were stuffed and appropriately wrapped with double corn tortillas. The ingredients were falling out, and so good that I had to scoop them up. The flavors of the Avocado Reale really popped, the mushrooms, onions, and queso were Plenty of seating, picnic tables all over the place. Great art everywhere you turn. This was my first dinner in Austin, and I will definitely be back!

    This is one of my favorite food trucks in my area. I am not vegan but I love it all the same! I love the Super Fresco taco so much. That vegan beef is the real deal! It's perfectly cooked and seasoned, and if I didn't already know I was eating vegan, I would have thought it was "real" meat. It's a double-decker packed with the ingredients. Pico, lettuce, tomato, etc. When I head over I try to get there as soon as they open up because they are POPULAR. Lines can get lengthy at times. Worth the wait though I prefer not to, lol.

    Super fast and big portion size! I got the Buffalo Birdie Burrito and it was very flavorful. Great casual spot to hit a lot of vegan restaurants, although I wish they had heaters.

    Delicious tacos for not just vegans but everyone! We've been here 3x already within two months. We bring all our visitors and everyone has loved it! They also have 3 different freshly made salsas, all flavorful and tasty. I highly recommend the Del Rey fish and buffalo chicken taco

    I've been coming in for five years as of this month, and I LOVE the vegan breakfast burrito.

    Nueva Onda Taco and Mi Ranchito
    Autumn M.

    Finally made it here! They have a ton of options and I decided to go the breakfast route. The Nueva Onda, with its sweet potato hash browns, scrambled tofu, and avocado was chefs kiss topped with the verde jalapeno sauce. And the Mi Ranchito was somehow even more delicious with country breakfast sausage, potato, black bean, queso blanco, and guacamole in Ranchito sauce. Of course I had to also top it with a hot sauce. The chipotle was equally as tasty and fiery as the jalapeño. Next time l'm grabbing a bucket of each! Super fast service too! Although I took my tacos to go, there were a lot of picnic tables if you want to hang out and eat at the food truck park.

    chilaquiles roja, Hella Vegan Quesadilla, Gracias Madre Taco
    Rakshak R.

    i couldn't say enough good things about this place. service is relatively fast, the food is exceptional, and the location is a nice vegan food truck park. i HIGHLY recommended the chilaquiles roja taco- probably the best taco i've ever had. i've taken non vegans here and they loved the chilaquiles roja taco as well. They have hot sauce that you can serve yourself, and Their chipotle sauce is insane. the hella quesadilla was very good too, so definitely check this place out if able.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
