Taqueria Vegana | Our Story

Happiness is a choice. Choose plant-based.

Happiness is a choice. Choose plant-based.

Taqueria Vegana started with a simple wish: more great vegan food in Toronto. A whole taqueria, not just one option on the menu. Mexican food is what we grew up with and love to cook. Our tacos, burritos and quesadillas are for everyone, whether you've been vegan for years or are just here for lunch.
The classics, made plant-based

The classics, made plant-based

Carne asada, al pastor and carnitas are familiar names on our menu. Here, they're made from plants, with different fillings to try. Pick three for a taco trio and find your favourite, or choose a burrito or quesadilla. The whole menu is vegan, right down to the sides.

Karla and Abel grew up in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and brought their love of Mexican food to Taqueria Vegana. Karla looks after the brand and front of house; Abel leads the kitchen. Read more about their backgrounds and how they work together on our About Us page.
Rooted in two neighbourhoods

Rooted in two neighbourhoods

Our first restaurant opened on Dupont Street in Junction Triangle. The Bloor location followed, bringing Taqueria Vegana to Bloorcourt Village. Both are small, casual spots for lunch, dinner or takeout. We're glad to be part of these neighbourhoods and people's regular week.
