La Vegana Mexicana - Santa Ana

Just had a great lunch there! The staff are welcoming and engaging. I had the black bean mole tamal, and the cauliflower ceviche. Even though I am not a vegan, I was delicious and filling. Definitely going back for more.

These are some of the fattest tamales I've ever had. ?

Great flavors wonderful service. Highly recommended! Had mushroom tamale (spicy! and black bean tamale. All menu items looked delicious. Great vegan crema to balance the heat of the tamale.

Finally got to try this place for lunch today after many years. For reference, I went to the OC Vegan Fest recently and this tasted better than anything I had there. The guy at the register was really nice and answered some of my questions about recommendations. I ended up ordering the mushroom asada al pastor quesitacos and added the arroz con leche for a sweet snack. The quesitacos hit the spot! They were definitely hot and a little messy, but the flavor was bomb. I had the arroz con leche for an afternoon snack and the flavor of that was perfect. It didn't taste like regular rice pudding, more like a creamy horchata and it wasn't overly sweet at all which was perfect. If you want to eat a little bit healthier or make better food choices La Vegana will help you accomplish this. I thought my meal was filling, very flavorful and I left feeling better than I would had I eaten at a regular fast food place.

Been wanting to try this spot after following them on Instagram for some time now. They're located in a food court in downtown Santa Ana, so you can guess it... it's loud. Two hour free parking when you park in the structure. I was sad to hear that that the person in front of me ordered the last of their specialty nopales and their Al pastor. The owner told me that they typically run out of their specialties around lunch time and haven't gotten around to order some more for the afternoons. I ordered their bean/cheese burrito, seafood ceviche tostada, and quesataco with chorizo con papas. The quesataco was my favorite. Perfectly seasoned and the sauce made it perfect. Bean and cheese burrito was amazing with their green salsa. I was not a fan of their seafood ceviche. The cauliflower was no marinaded enough and it just tasted bland. Would come back again so I can try their specialities.
