Borreguitas — Restaurant in Pomona

A friend found this through an app for folks who require gluten free. it was very important that "gluten free" meant exactly that, not the sometimes half-hearted approach of the major chain restaurants who often treat "gluten free" as a trendy thing. For some folks, "yeah, maybe there might be a little cross-contamination" is not "just the way it is," but rather a prelude to genuine illness. So, I was really grateful that this wise friend suggested this place.

It's a brightly colored tent-shaped building on the corner of an otherwise unassuming street in unassuming Pomona. There is some parking behind, but it is mostly street parking. it is wheelchair accessible.

It is counter service, with many tables for seating. The food is served either on ceramic plates or compostable plates with recyclable plasticware. Thus, not fancy, but, in my opinion, "fancy" does not go hand-in-hand with good food. The atmosphere here is pleasant, clean, and airy. The staff are friendly and helpful! That is all we needed, and we had a great time while there.

Now, to the food!!!! WOW!!! SO GOOD!!!!!

Our party included someone with Celiac Disease, and other people who are Vegan. Everyone had more than enough choices. In fact, I think it would take quite a few visits to be able to try all the choices! i read somewhere that the owner's daughter has Celiac Disease, which, if true, is challenging and unfortunate when out in the mainstream world of food shopping and dining. However, it was reassuring to know that the staff takes excellent precautions to ensure that the food is safe and healthy. And SO DELICIOUS!!! Everything was so flavorful, and the portion sizes are just right.

I can't wait to return, and to take more people with us next time....

This is a review during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I can see why everyone is giving this place great reviews. From the moment you order till you eat the food, it has been a great experience. Glad me and my family were able to find this Vegan Mexican Food place! Now I don’t have to drive all the way to Baldwin Park! I first called to see if they were open, and the lady that picked up was super friendly. She also gave suggestions on what are the most popular dishes.

Food I wanted to try so much! Ended up ordering these: Wet Burrito with Al Pastor- very good with the red sauce they have. Not spicy. Loaded Nachos with Half Pastor and Half Asada- the chips that they have seemed freshly made. This was so good, I just wished there was a bit more chips inside! Asada And Al Pastor Street Tacos- these two were great, but I would recommend the Al Pastor, as they taste very similar to real Al Pastor with the pineapple.

When you arrive, since there is no dine in, they have a side door where you will be able to pick up your order. Keep note that they do take credit card and Apple Pay, but they will need to take the card or device inside to a register, so I decided to just use my card instead of giving my phone. They also take $1 charge for credit card transactions, just so you know. You can park off the street right close to the window.

Like I mentioned earlier all the food was delicious. I can now add my rating to the reviews and recommend this place for Vegan Mexican Food. They did say they had 5 different types of street tacos, including cactus, and chorizo and potatoes, will give it a try next time. One last thing to note is that they have Uber Eats in case anyone wants food delivered. I have a feeling I will visit again very...

This is the best vegan Mexican food that I have been to so far!

Update: the restaurant is open for dine in. It's been remodeled and it's beautiful!

with the most amazing service.

I have been here many times, but didn't remember to do a review. Why? My mind was all crazy about the food and finishing them. You feel so satisfied when you finished the food that you forgot to do anything else! And of course, I forgot to take the pictures. Other people's pictures are pretty accurate. The rice and bean picture you see is the leftover that I'm saving for dinner! 😁😁

Food, the wet burritos are huge. Street tacos are good. The cactus plate is good. If you don't eat a lot, potato tacos plate is good enough. This place has pretty good beans and rice.

The refried bean is amazing.

I would not recommend the posole. I personally would not recommend the vegan cheese because it has chemical taste to it just like other vegan products on the market.

For the service, Jackie and I believe two others are awesome! They are always cheerful, welcoming, and helpful! 😁😁

I believed I met the mother once when she was taking care of a homeless around the corner of the street! She is a kind person. ❤️

I haven't been slimmed down since not eating meat because there's so much yummy food to discover and this is one of the places!

Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone who doesn't eat meat to satisfy the craving for Mexican food. You will sure get fat! So what are you waiting for, give...
