Quality, quality, and more quality. I can't stress enough that across the border you have quality and freshness all jam packed in this little shop. Today was my first time in since I didn't want to eat at La Taquiera Veggie again, but without checking any reviews I walked straight in. It was a nice late Saturday afternoon, and the clerk hooked me up with the menu and I was blown away by the variety of food besides "bowls". So I did the portabello mushroom hamburgesa, and the Tacos TJ. Didn't expect much, but when I got the first dish(the portabello mushroom burger) "I went to town" so to speak.
The fulfilling layers of fresh tomatoes, lettuce, some vegan deli slices, topped with the nicely cooked portabello mushroom packed between two wheat based buns was as visually appealing as it tasted.
I got the tacos para llevar (to-go) and when I got back to a local car wash in San Diego that was busy I ate the tacos while waiting in the car wash line. The tacos definitely didn't disappoint me nor will they for you. Their use of jackfruit as a shredded "meat" was nicely marinated before cooking and the flavors were enhanced when combined with the full package of a fresh traditional tortilla laced with fresh guac, their in house sour kabbage, some jicama pieces, cilantro and some squeezed lime juice in the mix.
If you made it this far in the review, this is a long winded way of saying "go here, if you are plant-based/"vegan or not"...
Read moreI had me the "pollo" burger which is soy based and really enjoyed it. It came with a giant heap of greens on the side (salad) and I also had the pineapple water which they allowed me to sample before I ordered and it was perfect. I was worried it would be too sweet and it wasn't, it was just right. As I was waiting I saw two gents being served an amazing looking sandwich (POLLO and ASADA) which I will surely be trying next time ( because you bet your @$$ there will be a next time)...
