Vegan or not, you simply must eat these tacos. Went for the first time yesterday and I’m already planning a return visit. Straight into my top 5 fave restaurants in Berkeley.

Incredible! I love veggies but I have beef with vegan places that try and reformat them into meat in a way that feels forced or contrived. Taqueria La Venganza is able to inject so much flavor into these vegan tacos and absolutely nail the texture that no one would miss a thing. It still has that greasy richness of a street taco, absorbed by some delicious tortillas and perfectly rounded out by fresh salsa and toppings. These were fire. Filling and substantial. The beans were delicious and the guacamole, though a small portion, was great. The guacamole was affordable but more like 1 serving so a heads up if you’re trying to share ;)

Order came out really quick, we ordered online and it was ready in 10min. There is one small table and 2 chairs but the vibe is definitely more grab and go. I love that they partner with White Horse a few doors down too. You can show your receipt there and get a discount on a drink. You can also eat your meal there, but only if you buy a drink which you totally should, White Horse is awesome.

Loved this spot, I feel lucky to live close and I’ll be back for sure! Veggies and vegan friends will LOVE this. So will my omnivore friends too. ????????????????????????️????

The best tacos I've ever had. That includes tacos I had before I became vegetarian. That includes tacos in LA - even in MEXICO ????????!! They are that good. The burritos are great, too.

I love Taqueria La Venganza ???? I have been eating here about once a month for the past year. I really love their Asada and Al Pastor burritos so I always get the same thing but I bet all the options are so delicious. I met the owner a few times and I think he’s really nice and obviously passionate about vegan Mexican food! I’ve been to Mexico City 3 times which by far has the best vegan Mexican food in the entire world (in my humble opinion) and honestly Taqueria La Venganza compares to my fav restaurants there! Take your non vegan friends/family there, I promise they will love it!

i don’t write reviews often. the food here warrants one. i (mostly) stopped eating meat years ago but have always felt like it involved giving up food and flavors i enjoy, or settling for a watered down version of it - now i don’t have to. everything was delicious and my very omnivorous husband said “i would 1000% eat here again”. thanks for sharing your talents chef ????????

The best vegan burrito and taco I ever had. Good portions and good ingredients. Nothing felt processed. I highly recommend this place. Only critique is to get compost bin for in-house eating.

The best faux meats! I’ve had the carne asada burrito and all the different taco options and they were all wonderful!

We love this place. The tacos are top notch. Don't sleep on their mushroom ones, some of the best we have had. Don't forget to get some extra salsa to douse your tacos in.

hear me out : La Venganza is the very best vegan mexican we had tried in US!!! ????
everything from carnitas & asada taco, nachos, pollo tostada & burritos was excellent in terms of freshness, texture, seasoning, greasiness, amount of toppings… I also love pozole, green salsa & their tortillas ???????? let the fact they prepare vegan lard speaks for itself!
thank you for cruelty free feast & Good vibes - will be back for more ????

I drool just thinking about eating here again. Everything is SO flavorful and so messy and I love it. Haven’t had a think I don’t like here, the best vegan tacos you can get imo. They ran out of pickled vegetables, so gave us a cookie instead- I didn’t have high expectations but seriously the best cookie I’ve ever had. Such high quality vegan and gluten free food ???? ❤️ will share pictures next time

Big fan of the GIGANTIC carne asada burrito. Mushroom carnitas is delicious. I’d get it in taco form next time.

Food did not disappoint. Been a Raul fan for a while. Tacos still are unbelievable. Portions were good so priced right. Bring your vegan skeptics here!

Incredible vegan food. The “meats” are out of this world. They have soy and mushroom based options. Some of the best tacos I have ever had.

I still can’t believe it’s vegan! Definitely a good find and will definitely add it to my rotation of places to go to.

This is my third time here. The tacos are hit and miss. That's okay. I still support. But today. I order what I usually order (three taco plate two carnitas and one asada)
and they hand me a Togo plate with shells. I ask where is the asada and the young guy points over my food and says its there but can't tell me what is the difference.
He tell me the boss told them to give it to me this way. I ask for the boss and he's not there.

** to the owner if i asked for the 3 taco plate (2 carnitas and 1 asada)
why give me a bunch of carnitas and say the asada is under it? Why not explain the difference when I placed the order?

The way, the truth and the light. PUT YOUR BURRITO ON THE SCALE. the new spot is dope, a breeze to get in and out or post up and eat. no one can touch what chef raul brought and still brings to the game

Really delicious tacos - vegan or not. Had the Al pastor and the carne asada and really didn’t miss the meat. Tried a few of their tacos at their pop-up years ago, but they seem to have really hit their stride at brick and mortar. Went back a few hours later for a burrito and that was also crazy good. Only wish they had some more ‘dine in’ space!

Update: Yes, I have the most generic name, and you have the most generic food.

This place sucks. I wouldn't waste your money. Tortillas were mushy, bland carne asada, and beans were unseasoned. I had better mexican food at my high school cafeteria back in the day.

Amazing vegan tacos! My husband and I split 5 tacos, and devoured them on the spot (we didn't even know which ones were which, but they were all yummy). Already plotting our next visit.

Note: this is mostly a takeout place, there's some standing room but no seating area.
