VeganO MexicanO & Catering — Restaurant in Portland

Came here for some vegan tacos. I ordered Three vegan tacos; Jackfruit, Mole Soy Curls, and carne asada (Seitan?) and chips and refried beans on the side. I kid you not I tried the beans first, taste like salt. I was like hmm.. maybe it’s the homemade chips.. tried chips, nope. Tried beans alone and SO SALTY. I literally drowned them in hot sauce so I could see if I could eat it that way. No, not edible. Then I hit the tacos~ first up Soy curls, not the greatest but it’s vegan so I know things don’t always come out as we want them.. I drenched in hot sauce and stomached it because I’m starving. Second taco, jackfruit.. absolutely disgusting.. I’ve made meals with jackfruit so I wasn’t expecting the jackfruit to wow me I was hoping the sauces and what not would make the dish. It was pretty gross this is when I contemplated just giving up and ordering DoorDash from a different place. Gave up on that taco and moved to the last which is the taco that made me write this review… the Carne Asada (Seitan?) it’s so darn salty I couldn’t even eat it. I tried to drowned it in both red and green salsa because I spent $20 on this ish. But then laughed at myself at how I was forcing myself to eat food I didn’t like. It is so extremely salty, you legit can’t even eat it. Closed up my box and quit. I’m now just eating the chips by themselves because it’s the only thing edible. Great idea . Vegan Mexican food. But sheesh get a taster in that place because it isn’t...

I ordered through Uber Eats, so I appreciate that that can impact the food in negative ways. However, my disappointment seems to be with the food itself.

I got a burrito, nachos, and a waffle (why not?).

The waffle was the best, but was very soggy (slathered it with syrup and that helped). If the berry compote had come on the side, I think this would be fantastic.

The burrito was okay, but I don't know if all the ingredients made it inside. It seemed to be the protein, rice, beans, and cabbage. I didn't see any cheese, sour cream, or guacamole :(

Then we get to the nachos. The worst part. The cheese was un-melted and on top of everything else, like it was the last ingredient. It looks like it was chips, cabbage, other ingredients, and then cheese. Also, the jack fruit was not very good. It seemed overcooked.

All in all, I'm bummed and hope they're able to find their stride! I would come back if I heard they...

Omg yes yes yes. I heard of this place but hadn't been but saw it suddenly available for delivery and went for it. If the food was this good having been delivered, I can only imagine what it will be like eating there.

The waffle with Tres Leche and pineapple was so banging. I am gluten free and vegan and this waffle was the biggest fluffiest thing I've ever seen, like a dreamy cinnamon roll. And I've missed taquitos since being vegan and was sceptable about them being filled with tofu scramble but DAMN, so much flavor and they got such a nice texture on the tofu. Salsas are flavorful and spicy. I will be back all the time and with friends. Thank you for existing and answering my prayers.

Heads up for them - delivery forces you to choose protein add ons at an extra charge instead of being optional and then it didn't come with it anyway. Just a heads up. I...
