La Charrita - Santa Clarita

La Charrita offers delicious Mexican vegan options, all made with love and respect for high-quality plant-based ingredients. The marinated Jackfruit is a standout, adding amazing flavor to any dish. The family and staff are welcoming and accommodating, making you feel right at home. Their popularity is growing as they convert more of their menu to fully vegan options. I highly recommend trying the loaded breakfast Burrito, crispy potato tacos, adobada tacos, Flottas plate with guacamole, Tostada de cerviche-cauliflower, and agua frescas. With so many delicious options on the vegan menu, you can't go wrong at La Charrita.

I've been here a few times and it's just not that good. I feel that if I'm going to eat out it better be worth the money. I did give it plenty of tries. Updated from previous review on 2022-07-05

I always love ordering from La Charrita. All of the vegan options I've tried so far have been delicious and I'm looking forward to trying more! The portion sizes are great.

If a farm sanctuary recommends a restaurant, you should definitely take notice. While La Charrita Mexican Restaurant is not completely vegan, they do cater to vegan diets and offer delicious options. From their flavorful soy pork substitute called adobaba, to their Jackfruit, Mushroom Soy, Soyrizo/Cauliflower alternatives that are just as tasty as traditional Mexican proteins, the food is amazing. Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan, you will enjoy the dishes offered by this small family-owned restaurant. Show them some love and support. Thank you, Farm Shrine, for recommending them.

Ever since one of us became vegan, it's been years. This restaurant goes above and beyond just offering "vegan options." It feels more like a vegan restaurant with meat options, rather than the other way around. They have three full pages of vegan dishes on the menu, including rare finds like vegan mole and wet-style burritos. They don't just have one vegan meat option, but several: adobo Soy Locken, Jackfruit, Soyrizo, and mushroom-based fillings. The tortillas taste homemade and the menu is also allergy-friendly.
