La Vegana Mexicana

Vegan food was amazing. It was such a nice surprise for a Thanksgiving meal. #GoVeganForLife.I will definitely be visiting this location more often !!!!

Horrible food Horrible taste Horrible ingredients Don't waste your money or health

Got two quesatacos (pastor mushroom & chorizo potato) as well as two tamales (cactus in green salsa & jalapeno with cheese). Apparently the tamales are the most popular but we found them to be a little dry. The cactus in green salsa one was particularly dry and unflavorful. At least the masa was a little less dry in the jalapeno with cheese. I think the cheese helped with that.We enjoyed the tacos much more. The corn tortilla was delicious and both fillings were so yummy! We would get these again and try more flavors but probably skip the tamales next time. Plenty of seating in the food court with outdoor shaded seating too.

BEST VEGAN MEXICAN FOOD IN OC!The tamales, tacos, and pambazo were all very tasty, fresh, and authentic.Brought my non vegan relatives along and everyone loved it! Now, the food? AMAZING! the service? EVEN BETTER!The owners go above and beyond and will provide exemplary customer service time and time again.You can tell they love what they do and they will continue to provide good value items.This restaurant is located in the 4th Street Market in Santa Ana. Great place to walk and try very different establishments. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor.Located in the heart of downtown Santa AnaFood: 10/10Service: 10/10Ambiance: 10/10

I went expecting what I remembered fromLa Vegana Mexicana from a vegan festival a number of years ago because I was in the area. After ordering and eating, I looked them up because the food was not what I expected and learned they recently changed owners. I understand transition but my frustration was if you continue to use the same name the food should reflect the same and unfortunately that was not my experience. The tamale was beautifully wrapped but smelled burnt. I opened it and the top was charred. I ate around it and found the bean tamale completely flavorless to the point I could not finish it. I also got two jackfruit tacos.. my tacos were better because of the salsa and lime that gave it a boost, but taco base was still bland and were a potato chickpea base and not the jackfruit I ordered. Suffice to say I really hope they improve as they find their footing but as much as this cost I was very disappointed and hungry and have to give this as a point of caution to future patrons.

I had a vegan ceviche tostada which was surprisingly very similar to fish ceviche. I also had a queso taco with pastor which I ate before I could take a picture of it. Very good. Great vegan option great taste great qualityq mmmI

I'm not a vegan but I saw good reviews of La Vegana Mexicana and was willing to try it. Their food is not only vegan (so dairy-free obviously), but soy-free and mostly gluten-free. They are located in the 4th Street Market food hall and don't open until noon. Food is made to order, so it may take longer than you might expect.I ordered a couple of their quesitacos ($5.50) with asada mushrooms and pastor mushrooms (which included Violife cheese for a $1 extra vs. their normal tacos), with salsa, cilantro and onions on corn tortillas. The tacos were drizzled with sauce and definitely needed to be eaten with a knife and fork because they would be too messy to pick up and eat with your hands. They were both very flavorful, though I was a little disappointed to not see any pineapple bits in my pastor taco.The chorizo burrito was pretty bland. Since they do not use soy or any fake meat products (which I admire), they had their own "chorizo" with garbanzo beans, which was not sufficiently spiced. It came with a teeny cup of salsas (though they did say they would provide more if needed). Sorry I didn't get to try their tamales. I had my eye on the black bean and mole one but was unable to try it due to an almond allergy. If you have any food allergies, the staff is very nice and will double check ingredients for you.Free two hour parking in the public parking structures off Spurgeon.

Delicious food here! Stopped in for lunch and had the Pambazo with a Jamaica to wash it down. Pambazo was full of flavor with chickpeas as a filler. Warning. Will need a knife and fork! Enough to keep you full and fuel through the rest of the work day. The Jamaica was delicious, it wasn't over powering or too sweet. Service was extremely friendly, was with a coworker but they even offered to find me outside. A+ my man. Market was full of people but had plenty of seating. Seemed like a ton of food trucks but settled in a market. I will return to run through this menu as it was impossible to decide what meal to have.

Amazing Jackfruit burrito!!! So very delicious!! Staff was so nice and helpful.. great service and suggestions. They said they were known for their tamales.. I will have to try that next time! Vegan now, but they said now will be incorporating meat and looks like changing name to Callejon Del Beso if I am reading their sign correctly.. but will still have great food! Love trying new foods at 4th Street Market!

We tried mushroom, onion and cheese quesadillas, pambazo, vegan el pastor tacos, and vegan burrito, all of them were good, I wish they had vegan ceviche they did not have pineapple, cauliflower will visit again to try more options if all the ingredients are available.Overall very good food, and healthy too
