Contribute Feedback What Michele Basalone likes about The Vegan Vato:
Best Mexican food ever! So tasty I wanted to pick the plate up and lick it. The location is not the best, but the food and service more than makes up for it. Do yourself a favour and stop here on the way to Las Vegas. View all feedback.
It is wonderful to be able to enjoy such amazing food living in a place that doesn't have alot of options for healthy food. I'm not vegan but we really enjoyed the tacos and nachos! The food was fresh, colorful, high quality and tastes better then any Mexican food I've had up here. The decor and atmosphere inside the resturant is so relaxing and enjoyable definitely will be visiting again soon! Highly recommend!
I LOVE this restaurant !! The staff are so nice and helpful ! The food portions are HUGE, seasoned to perfection very colorful : . We made two items last between 4 people with extra to take home !! Definitely check it out
Vegan Vato is a real food gem in the desert. Nicely cooked rice and beans, quite spicy, healthy serving size, fast friendly service. Plate coconut juice tip was $9.50. A person can't get a dry tortilla in a gas station for less. The depot is fun atmosphere, but needing maintenance. The bus station and parking lot is a wee bit spooky, but has security. I mean, it's CA cool to wear crusty jeans? Gack.
Delicious The plant-based “carne asada” was AMAZING!!! Definitely a must try, even if you’re not a vegan.
So far, so good! I haven 't had a bad experience yet and I am thrilled to have a vegan restaurant in the High Desert. Some comments in general. This is not the type of place that is trying to disguise what the food is. And this isn 't a comment for or against places that do that, it 's just for expectation folks might have. For example, the 'fish ' is great. It 's portobello mushrooms, delicious. But do not expect seitan dressed up with seaweed trying to hide the taste and texture of mushrooms. The space and kitchen is small. There can be a wait if they 're slammed. And if it 's exceptionally busy, seating can be close. There 's just bottled water and canned carbonated water available. I 'd bring a drink or get it to go if you want something else or don 't want to pay so much for water. I recommend the taco trio! Try a few different proteins and find your favorite!
