The Vegan Vato

Highlights: Incredible vegan dishes packed with bold, balanced seasoning. The rice stands out as some of the most flavorful around. The carne asada tacos were bursting with taste. The spot has a charming vibe with plenty of seating and a laid-back, open setup. They've consistently earned top local recognition for excellence over the years. Drawbacks: Parking isn’t the most convenient, especially with its location right next to the transit line. Despite being the only customer at the time, my order of the taco trio with rice took quite a while to come out. The pollo tacos didn’t quite deliver on flavor. The building felt warm and stuffy as if the air conditioning either wasn’t working or was barely noticeable.

a delicious surprise! just amazing

This place DA BOMB! Their burrito is sooo delicious. It’s too big, it’s two meals! That’s half of the burrito in the photo.

Food is great definitely will return. Very lovely small family business, they deserve all the support in the world their food is great. Parking leaves a lot to desire being its next to bus station however they make up for it in folds with hospitality and great food. Truly a gem in the rough.

Closed on Sunday??? Very inconvenient!

Shalom Shalom my first time eating vegan for a healthy change and let me tell you it was and is DELICIOUS and I’ll be back service was excellent clean a beautiful vibe thank you sis 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

A little hard to find because it’s inside an old historic building/bus station and there’s some road construction. Very good and unique food. Clean. Flavorful. Hibiscus tacos and “fish” tacos were delicious. Try the three taco plate! Kids liked a plain bean burrito.

Today was my first time trying vegan food and the vegan vato. Can I just say how surprised I was that I didn’t realize any difference from a regular taco. These tacos are really good and so is the rice. I will definitely be ordering again.

I ried the trio. Carne asada, chicken, chorizo ( hibiscus, Jackfruit, potatoes with mushrooms)tacos. They all were super delicious. I will definitely be going back to try something else.

Amazing fully Vegan food!! Definitely worth a stop when going to Vegas or back to LA!! Drive into the Bus Station, go beyond the "Do not enter signs" (it's ok) and drive along the Hedge all the way to the end where you will find parking signs for the restaurant. Place may look closed from the outside but surely is open if you are there during opening times stated here.
