Garduno’s Taco King: Delight in Authentic Vegan Tacos and More!

Finally! A great Vegan Mexican Food joint! I was able to see someone post on social media, and decided to drive out to give it a try! They had a huge selection for their Vegan menu! Best of all was that also had other selections as well! I want to apologize at first because the pictures I took of the food was after I plated them from a togo order, just to be a little safer from the COVID-19 craziness. I’ll make sure to take better photos next time! Food Cauliflower Taco & Jackfruit Taco - my wife was the one that got these, I tried a bite, and thought they were pretty nice but definitely spicy. I don’t know if there will be an option to get no spicy next time. I enjoyed it at least. Al Pastor Taco - this was pretty good, well marinated and cooked, but I believe this may not be the same pastor you may expect from like a taco truck. Still pretty good. Vegan Fries- this was quite good, we ended up getting half jackfruit and half cauliflower, but I believe next time we would just go w the cauliflower for more texture. Vegan Quesadilla- this was by far one of my kids and our favorite dish. Had the nice little crunchy texture on the outside but loaded on the inside with vegan cheese. Everyone should give this a try. Again I’m glad we were able to try this place. There were even markers for people to stand, and everyone kept their distance with masks. Will be back, and will be aiming for those Nachos! Until next time !

Vegan review of the food. Everything I have tried thus far is very flavorful and the portions are very generous. My favorite items by far are the tamales, it is all about the masa (dough). Had the jalapeno & cheese and the green jackfruit. I have also had the potato taquitos, the red jackfruit nachos, the california burrito with adobo cauliflower and the enchilada with adobo cauliflower. What I like the most is that they have a separate kitchen for all the vegan food items, so there is no cross contamination with non- vegan items containing animals and animal by-products. The wait time is a hit or miss, it can be super long or super short & quick. I recommend this establishment and will return.

First timer. I ordered the green jackfruit burrito, fries, chilies and a drink. The burrito was yummy, flavorful and arrived hot still! The portions were generous and my request for both salsas was fulfilled. The green sauce was robust with hints of spice. The red sauce was okay, consistency was less blended and flavor was basic. The Jamaica was where the star was lost. The drink was huge (awesome) but not the flavor, it was very sweet in my opinion. I definitely won't let this stop me from re-ordering via UberEats! Recommend for vegetarians!

Food is good, people are wonderful, and I love the vegan options. Tables I choose are outdoors but they do have inside dining as well.

The food here is very tasty, they have a regular menu and a vegan menu. I love the vegan champorrado, horchata, tamales, pombasos, tortas, machaca, nachos, and burritos, all vegan. This is a stop I always make when I'm in the area. The workers are also happy to answer questions and make ordering easy. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with plenty of parking. I highly recommend to try the food and drinks here.

Vegan food was on point. Had non-vegans with us that said their food…not so much. Vegan taquitos, tacos (jackfruit & cauliflower), and chili cheez fries. Everything bomb except jackfruit taco not my favorite.

So good, perfect for a quick stop off the 10. Not busy at all. Great and fresh vegan and non vegan Mexican. There are no restrooms here or anywhere next door.

Well worthy of a five star for serving an area with limited vegan options but half of the items missed. Those that hit were sooooo danky that it made up for the others. What we liked: the Milanese torta is perfect, get that! The piña colada was also a flavorful and nostalgic, a must get to wash down the food. Take a queso fresco home and put it on everything. This should be your order! What missed: we were most excited for the albondigas soup but it was a bit bland. Maybe we’ll go back when it gets cold to see if it hits any different. The cheese on the chili fries was also not what I personally like in the plant-based era we are in. Maybe I got the wrong sweets but the gansitos were not fluffy and sweet but rather stiff. Food did not take long (we ordered a good amount, about $100) so I’ll definitely check it out again when I’m the area (maybe twice a year). Friendly service with a classic taco stand vibe that you used to find all around LA. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer
