Pancho’s Vegan Tacos Appetizers
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when we talk about Mexican appetizers? I can bet it’s chips and dips! You don’t have to be a Mexican food lover to enjoy this simple yet highly delicious starter dish. (Almost) everyone likes it.
Like all other Mexican eateries, they are also available at Pancho’s Vegan Tacos. But, the restaurant also offers a couple of other options.
Here are all your choices for plant-based appetizers at Pancho’s Vegan Tacos:

Street Taco
Simple and delicious, these street tacos are made with your choice of vegan meat, onions, and cilantro in a small corn tortilla.
Crunchy Taco
As the name tells, this is made in a hard-shell taco. The filling is comprised of vegan meat, fresh pico de gallo, lettuce, and vegan cheese.
Fish Taco
Fish is a popular choice for tacos. But, its vegan version is not as readily available as other types of vegan meats. Pancho’s Vegan Tacos makes sure that you don’t miss out on this popular taco variety and offers two different kinds:
- Fish with lettuce, pico, and lime
- Fish with mixed salad and ranch
Full-Size Taco
Think a regular-size taco isn’t enough to fill you up or satisfy your taco craving? Order this full-size taco from the Pancho’s Vegan Tacos menu.
The bigger version of the street taco comes with your choice of vegan meat, onions, and cilantro in a large corn tortilla. You also get a lime wedge on the side to add some citrusy goodness to your vegan taco.
Grand Taco
Not everyone wants a big taco. Many prefer heartier, richer, and more flavorful tacos with lots of ingredients than simple, big ones. If you’re that kind, order yourself a Grand Taco at Pancho’s Vegan Tacos.
You will get a corn tortilla with vegan chicken or Asada mix, lettuce, mushrooms, fresh pico, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Taco Dorados
Not a fan of fake meat or love potatoes a little too much? Try this crispy vegan taco (that appears to be a cross between a taco and spring roll) made with a corn tortilla stuffed with potatoes and fried to crispy perfection.
It’s topped with lettuce, pico, vegan sour cream, and cheese just before serving.
Pancho’s Vegan Burritos
Rich and flavorful, meaty burritos made with all plant-based ingredients. If this sounds like your kind of food, head to Pancho’s Vegan Tacos for a vegan Mexican burrito treat. There aren’t too many options, but whatever choices they have will leave you with a full stomach and a happy heart.
Here are all your choices for plant-based burritos at Pancho’s Vegan Tacos:
Classic Burrito
Let’s start with the one that started it all and gave burritos the name and fame they enjoy today. The classic vegan burrito at Pancho’s is made with a flour tortilla, your choice of vegan meat, rice, beans, lettuce, and freshly-made pico. Simple and classic, but oh-so-flavorful.
California Burrito
Offering a great combination of Mexican flavors and textures, this delicious burrito is made with your choice of vegan meat, pico, guacamole, cream, cheese, and French fries in a flour tortilla.
If you haven’t tried a burrito with fries yet, you have to! And Pancho’s vegan California Burrito makes a great choice.
Wet Burrito
If you’re someone like me who prefers their burritos and wraps to be more saucy than dry, try the wet vegan burrito at Pancho’s Vegan Tacos.
It has regular vegan burrito ingredients – beans, rice, plant-based meat, lettuce, pico, salsa, cream, and cheese.
But, what makes it different from other vegan burritos on the Pancho’s menu, and a burrito to my liking is that it’s not just topped with salsa, cream, and cheese; it’s smothered with them.
Burrito Bowl
Whether you’re cutting down carbs from your diet or just in the mood for a rice bowl, Pancho’s Vegan burrito bowl is a great choice.
When you order this dish, you get a big, hearty serving of burrito mix made with rice, beans, your choice of vegan meat, fresh pico, salsa, lettuce, guacamole, cream, and cheese.

Bean Enchiladas
A meatless enchilada variety for those who aren’t big on fake meat, these vegan enchiladas, as the name tells, are filled with beans. These come topped with sour cream and cheese and rice and beans on the side.
This is also an excellent option for those who like beans a little too much with two kinds of beans.

Pancho’s Vegan Burgers & Hot Dogs
Even though Pancho’s Vegan Tacos is essentially a Mexican eatery, the restaurant also offers a few food choices for those who may not be a big fan of Mexican food (hard to believe, but there may be some like that) or not in the mood for it, but come here with their families or friends.
