Viva Taqueria And Cantina - Ithaca

Vegan items were clearly marked. I ordered the tofu soft tacos, which weren’t listed as being vegan, but the server was very kind about accommodating me. Highly recommend!!

I was so surprised with the menu! Everything was clearly marked vegan and there were more options than I expected. It was such a relief to be able to order and not say “no cheese, no sour cream, no xyz.” It was clearly laid out. Great drinks!

We began our meal with the delicious chips, salsa, and guacamole. The vegan burrito plates we ordered were served with pickled vegetables, additional guacamole, and slaw. The food was incredibly fresh and the portions were generous. The restaurant also offers plenty of outdoor seating. The service was fast, efficient, and welcoming.

Nice restaurant in the heart of downtown Ithaca. Vegan options and very pro-vegan staff.

We have visited this restaurant multiple times and have never been let down. Our go-to dishes are the vegan nachos and chips with guacamole, which are always delicious. Our kids enjoy the enchiladas, while my husband and I usually opt for the vegan burritos. The portions are generous and we always leave feeling satisfied. On a recent visit, our 9-year-old son tried the vegan fajitas and loved them. However, we later found out from a different server that the fajitas are not actually vegan due to sharing a grill with meat. This was disappointing for our son, but he ended up enjoying the enchiladas instead. Despite this issue, we would still return to this restaurant. As of October 2014, we continue to be impressed with the food and service. We highly recommend trying the vegan burrito and nachos at this establishment. It remains one of our favorite spots to dine!
