Viva Vegeria

If you're in San Antonio and craving some delicious vegan Mexican food, Viva Vegeria is a must-visit! Tucked away off a main road, this little hidden gem is easy to miss while driving by, but trust me, you don't want to pass it up.I recently visited with a large party for a going-away celebration, and we were all blown away by the food and service. I tried the street tacos, nachos, and hot wings. The nachos, in particular, are a must-try! The portions are generous, and every bite is packed with flavor.The decor gives off an authentic Mexican restaurant vibe, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The wait staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Our waiter was prompt, attentive, and got everyone's order right without any issues, even with our large group.Parking can be a bit tricky as the lot is pretty small, but there's street parking available nearby. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall experience and value for money at Viva Vegeria are fantastic.Don't miss out on this amazing spot for vegan Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended!

Veganized, gluten free Mexican food. A dream come true. I'm already thinking about my return and what to order. We finally made our way over here on a weekend afternoon. The restaurant was not busy and we were seated promptly. Service was a little slow, but everyone was so friendly and the good was definitely worth the wait. The atmosphere is lovely, full of color paintings and decor.I ordered the Trinidad Plate and added sides of rice and beans.I have to admit I was a little disappointed. When I think of chalupas, I assume they are topped with beans, lettuce, and tomatoes as a base. Then you add your extras like meats, chicken, guacamole, etc. In their defense, the menu described exactly what I received. One tostada covered in the vegan queso, this was similar to chips and queso. The tostada was crispy, even under the cover of all the vegan cheese, and the cheese was tasty. The second was a tostada covered in guacamole. Again, like chips and guacamole. The guacamole was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The third was my favorite by far because it was loaded with lettuce, tomato, and their picadillo. The picadillo was compromised of so much deliciousness- I think potatoes, cumin, carrots, and so many spices just cooked together so well. While I missed the layer of beans on the tostadas, they gave me what was advertised. I will refrain from ordering that plate again. Their rice and beans were perfect. Cozy and homey just like what we would eat with so many dinners. They were out of the Luchadora Nachos, so my fella ordered the Nachos del Picadillo. Similar to my tostada in flavor, but this plate was loaded up with a huge mound of chips, covered in picadillo, veggies, guacamole, and so much goodness. It was almost too much to finish, but we brought our hunger game. I'm definitely going to return to test out their tacos and enchiladas and I can't wait!

Another five star experience. I got the chicharrones tacos and was blown away by the flavors. My friend got the kimchi nachos and loves every bite. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and amazing decorated as always.

This is definitely a vegan hidden gem. First and foremost, there is no meat at this restaurant. However as a former meat eater all I can say is wow. The food here is so flavorful and delicious. From the first bite you can tell immediately that the food is fresh and cooked to order. From there fresh salsas, appetizers, and entrees you are in from flavorful goodness. We had the fresh salsas and chips which were very crunchy and perfectly salted. We each had their Tampiquene plate which was a cheese enchilada topped with their house-made sauce, a crispy picadillio taco, with rice and beans. The entrees did not disappoint. The service is excellent. Our server was super attentive and very helpful in explaining the vibe of the restaurant. The ambiance of the place is very hipster meets Mexico. A very warm and cozy place. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone vegan or otherwise.

This is our little hidden gem We bring all of the family and friends here. The best vegan and gluten free Tex Mex in the Alamo city. My recommendation is the crispy dogs! Soooo yummy and that dipping sauce, ummm ummm ummmm. It will have you licking your fingers. It's also a perfect place for your weekend brunch...byob

Yesterday, the guy who rented us bikes (we did the mission trail, highly recommended!) suggested viva vegeria as an option for vegan Tex mex. It looked good, but it was closed on Tuesday, so we opted for something else. Today, we were touring around and had an all day bus pass so we thought "why not?"We waited a fair amount for a bus to get us down that way (it's more than 2 miles from the Alamo) ... and then got off in what looked like the middle of nowhere. The restaurant is right across the street, but at first glance it looked like it was closed. Until we noticed the entrance was off to the side. It's in a building that was maybe a house or an office and has some tables in two rooms. Our waitress was very nice and answered any questions. The food is made to order so it is was a bit of a wait for it to come out. The food looked great, and it was good, though maybe not quite great. Felt authentic. All vegan. Very satisfying. And it wasn't terribly expensive. But then came the bus ride back. It took 30 minutes for the next bus to show up. So we waited a while. And then the 20 minute ride. Did we enjoy the meal? YesWas it worth the trip? NoDid we spend waaaay too much time on the bus? Absolutely. Sadly, this was our last night in San Antonio. And we have regrets about not going down to riverwalk instead, and enjoying the atmosphere of the area. This was just too far to go for a meal - even if we did enjoy it.

Visiting San Antonio, and added this place to my eats collection prior to. Stopped in for dinner last night. The original nachos did not disappoint! I got the half order, and they were huge! I asked for no rice, no guacamole, no ranch, but added Al pastor picadillo. My Omni husband ended up sharing with me, thank gosh because I probably would have devoured and regretted later. The staff was very nice, good service. Highly recommend.

This was probably one of the best vegan places I've ever come to. One of my brothers is a vegan, and we needed to find a place where he could eat more than just salad. Saw this place had high reviews, and it definitely makes sense how. When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly folks and were able to get us seated quickly. The place looked well kept, and there were plenty of seats. There was even seating outside for people to enjoy. They played some nice music but not too loud at all so we could hear each other. Our server was so kind and friendly. He even made jokes with my brothers and made him laugh a few times. He made sure we had everything we needed and kept us updated on when the food would be out. Our food did take time to be prepared, so it wasn't exactly fast, but it was well worth the wait.We first ordered half nachos del picadillo and half classic vegan nachos for appetizers. Man, these things were huge! Could only imagine what the full plate would look like. Honestly, I think the classic nachos were the best, and the cheese was actually pretty good. They really layered the plate with chips and plenty of toppings. I would absolutely come back just for these bad boys! I had also ordered fried avocado tacos, and they tasted great. At first, I wasn't a huge fan with the sauce on top, but after the bite with the avocado, the flavors worked out great for me. My brother ordered bbq tacos, which were cauliflower; I thought they were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. My other brother said he had the chicken flautas that he really enjoyed, but I didn't try them. I think this place definitely deserves the high reviews it receives, and I would definitely consider coming back here even if I'm not a vegan at all. Be aware that food does take time, so expect maybe 20 minutes depending on what you order. Either way I definitely recommend this place.

I come here every time I'm in San Antonio. What a treat! Everything is so flavorful and fresh. Best Mexican food ever!
