- WL WangSo happy we found this place at East Village!! The flavors and textures of everything we ordered (Baja tacos, lunch all day burrito and sweet potato & kale burrito) are amazing, taste so good and we can't believe it is vegan! My teen boys and I were all blown away!! Warm and friendly service. Must try in NYC Vegan or not! (Taco Tuesdays the tacos are half off).
- MacKinsey M+ The vegan food was amazing! I loved everything I ordered and the queso tasted like real queso. + The server was very friendly and there is indoor/outdoor seating. The prices were fair & the restaurant was clean. :) - Only wished there was a public bathroom, so I could have washed my hands.
- Meg TaingWalked by and saw the Taco Tuesday sign (2 tacos for $7.50 with chips and salsa) and decided to try it. Such a delightful surprise!! Plant based tacos… I got the Al Pastor and Baja tacos. They were both SO good and fresh. Baja tacos are made of fried oyster mushrooms and full of flavor and texture. Al pastor was juicy and pineapple filled and I loved the pineapple salsa it came with! Highly highly recommend! And the service was top notch.
- Jacquelyn Watson-RodriguezSeriously delicious. Came all the way to NYC for the vegan food, and Raíz NYC did not disappoint. I haven’t had pastor tacos since going vegan 5 years ago, and it was just as I remember, but better. Service was amazing as well! Our server gave great recommendations and was super sweet! Definitely stop in! Your stomach will thank you.
- BelindaPrice: More than your typical chipotle options but relative since anything “vegan” or vegetarian are more expensive these days. Food: DELICIOUS. When I tell you this is on my top 3 favorite taco spots…it was SO good. The Raiz asada was so flavorful, consistency was perfect for tacos, it was bliss. Service: Service was ok. Five star rating solely on food. Environment: Decor was super cute. I love the “You belong here” sign on the wall. The cacti were a nice touch and made me feel right at home lol. NTT [[Next Time Try]]: not sure which other protein I’d try but I definitely want to try the street corn, guac, crazy dilla, and probably everything else!
