    Rico Rico Vegano opened in Holy Land's vacated space. No inside seating nor decor. Outside seating 5ish tables. Order, pay at counter, food brought to table outside. Offerings: quesadillas, salads, sopes, burritos, plates, wraps, appetizers, aqua fresca, mex. Drinks, juices, kids' menu... Bites: tinga/al pastor tacos @4.75 -pinkish huge corn tortillas filled with plenty of veggies, flavas, not much vegan "meats". -al pastor, small shreds of marinated hisbiscus, accompanied by onions, cilantro, guacamole, pineapple had lotsa hot spiciness. -tinga had sauteed pieces of oyster mushroom mixed with queso, lettuce, onions, spicy salsa. 4.5 stars: both needed more vegan "meats". Very yummy nonetheless..vegan eats not textually similar. Actual plants used. YMMV.

    OMFG this was the besttttt vegan Mexican food I've ever had! We tried their carne asada burrito and fried cauliflower tacos and they were both amazingly flavourful and filling! The sauces, the vegan cheese, the crunchy veggies, the smokey "meat".. I could go on and on! *chef's kiss* The burrito held up beautifully, was quite large and the cauliflower on the taco was delicious. I wish I lived nearby cause I would come every week to try everything else on their menu The shop itself is tiny and only take orders inside. They do have couple of small tables outside but they fill up pretty quickly. We were lucky to find parking and a table on a weekend at 3pm! I'd argue this place is totally worth it to drive all the way to just try their food.

    This place was great...tasty food and excellent customer service! I ordered two tacos...the vegan shrimp and the mushroom and both very very delicious. There is no inside seating but there are tables and chairs outside. The parking is brutal and I almost got a ticket for parking on the street that did not have curb markings but there was a no parking sign further down the street that I had not seen. It would have made for very expensive tacos if I was ticketed. Fortunately, I was in the car when parking enforcement came around to write up citations. I was told that I was in a no parking zone and was allowed to drive off. I will be back for the food but I will be more careful in the future where I park my car!

    * Shop is very aesthetic and clean * Carne asada burrito was amazing! I would stop by again for that alone. The carne asada is really savory. * The burritos are a fair size - the plates looked large as well. * Coconut Horchata was also very delicious - really rich and creamy and the coconut isn't too overpowering. * Service was quick but I came when it was pretty slow. * Tinga burrito unfortunately missed the mark and wasn't quite my cup of tea due to the flavor of the Tinga itself * Seating is very limited.
