I had a layover in Dallas, and was looking for good vegan food. So glad I happened upon this gem. I got the bbq “pork” tacos, and they were honestly some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. And the interior decor is just so funky and cool. I can’t wait to come back here one day. I know I’ll go out of my way to go to Dallas more often!
Taco Tuesday! But make it vegan. Been wanting to visit this place for quite some time. Its a cute spot in Deep Ellum decorated with a tiki vibe (hence the name Tiki Loco). You place your order at the counter and then they deliver your food to your table. We reviewed the menu and asked many questions which the guy behind the counter thoroughly answered. In the end my sister ordered steak, pork, and chicken tacos as well as chips and queso. I ordered steak, chicken, and bean and cheese tacos as well as chips and guacamole. I had a margarita and my sister had a glass of wine.While waiting we looked around. Theres an upstairs with limited lunch counter seating. We sat in a booth downstairs.Drinks arrived with our chips, queso, and guacamole. The queso was very soupy and I couldnt get the cheese taste so we ended up subbing it out for salsa. Both the salsa and guac were good but couldve used a lil more seasoning.Tacos arrived shortly after. Everything looked good and we were ready to dig in. As a seasoned vegan connoisseur, my expectations were not met. Everything was seasoned well and I will give them that but the texture and taste of the meat didnt taste like meat. I tasted a sample of my sisters steak taco and that was the one that resembled steak in both texture and taste. The margarita was underwhelming as well.Customer service was outstanding, the decor was fun, but the food and drinks were subpar.Dont take my word for it though, give it a try yourself.Things to note:- The pork taco is the only taco thats soy free- The tacos are $2.22 on Tuesdays- Happy hour offers you a $1 discount on drinks
Great tacos! New hours posted on their door say they’re closed on Weds & Thursdays
The food is always consistently good. But, every time Ive ordered something there, theyve forgotten something (like extra queso, which is a charge) and today I ordered a latte HOT and it came iced. Its the little things that can be really frustrating over time. Just carefully read and pay attention to the orders and that wont happen. :/
Great place for pictures, and friendly staff. Love their take on vegan steak and chicken. Delicious and good size tacos. Alcohol selection is great, ciders, beer, cocktails, etc, but the margaritas leave much to be desired.Will definitely be coming back.
Tasty food. Weird theme its like a bobs burger episode where they push TIKI hard.Come here to view heavily tattooed individuals.
I’m not a vegan, but I came here with some colleagues (I’m always up for delicious food, vegan or not!) and it was tasty. Everything they make is gluten-free and vegan, which is helpful to have a spot that accommodate friends and family with those needs. I ordered the beef (not sure what the substitute was) tacos and they were tasty, smokey and spicy. I also ordered one of the oatmeal cream pies, which are delicious but incredibly rich! I came back later that week to pick up some of those and the lemon cookie creme pies for dessert for my in-laws, who are also gluten-free and they were a hit. I definitely recommend this place!
Picked up the house ground beef, the citrus Chipotle chicken, kids quesadilla, home fries, grilled chickpeas with some chipotle ranch and I can tell you it all hit the spot. My favourite out of everything was the citrus chicken! Quick side note, when picking up an order, take someone with you who can run inside while the other waits outside in the car. Theres no free parking. You can risk parking in July Alley but the ticket or possible tow my negate the yumminess of the food.
We ordered. sat down. paid 7.50 for 2 fountain drinks. the price says $ but the total was about 35 dollars for some tacos and 2 drinks. dont believe the price icon it is more expensive. we sat down and waited for about 25 minutes just for tacos and the fries. the potatoes were great but my boyfriends food was cold when it came out. they lack meat and toppings. I got the pulled pork and the BBQ sauce was very sweet and tangy it was not a good mixture. he barely got any ground beef on his ground beef tacos. i didnt even eat a full taco. was not a good experience.
I ordered 3 bean and cheese vegan tacos and a side of beans. It was gross. I asked if I could have something else instead without paying for it and they said no. I feel like I want to throw up. I do not plan on eating here again. I feel like I wasted my money
Second visit to tiki loco was just as wonderful as the first! We had bbq jackfruit nachos, coffee, and an oatmeal cream pie. The nachos are to die for, a little spicy, super creamy and the bbq jackfruit was super tasty. The oatmeal cream pies are the kind of dessert I dream of for months following. Dont miss this place!
Delicious!!! Great menu options and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Definitely coming back!Love all the knick-knacks and decor :)
As a vegan who’s tried too many vegan restaurants to count, this is hands down the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to. My boyfriend didn’t even know he was eating vegan tacos until I told him, he said they were amazing. Guy at the cashier was really nice too.
Decent food, great atmosphere. Their baked goods are top notch, especially the oatmeal creme cookies. They offer $2.22 tacos on Tuesday nights, which I recommend!
Omg!! Thats all I can say! The food is absolutely amazing!! We got the house beef tacos and the chicken tacos with spicy salsa and chips with a Pomegranate sweet tea. The staff was great and sweet, the place is very clean smelled great and plays great music! Will most definitely be back! First visit today went off with out a hitch! Thank you Tim Taco for making mouth watering tacos!!
Sooooo delicious!!!! Great brunch menu. Food is perfectly spiced. Friendly staff. Definitely coming back! If you havent been here, GET HERE! Staff is fully masked up, as well. :-)
Shout out to the waitress that brought my food to the car because I was babysitting (I think she said her name was Myah). The tacos here is packed with flavor; also theyre pretty good sized.
A real good vegan restaurant. Tacos come with chips and salsa! The salsa is nice and spicy. I believe they use beyond meat(meatless chicken,beef and pork) which are pretty good. Tried the hawaiian steak tacos,bean and cheese tacos(vegan cheese i think) and chicken tacos! They were all pretty good. The portions may seem small at first but they are quite filling.for coffee, its one of the best places to go in Dallas.
Yooooo!!!! Tiki Loco is the absolute best!! My partner has all sorts of allergies, and it truly made her ecstatic that all of the food was vegan, had gluten free options across the board, and was free of nuts. She felt so included being able to order off of the menu. We ate here twice in one day, the food was so tasty, the tacos.... Order the tacos!There was a person who was so attentive and intuitive to our needs, so much so I asked if they were the manager or owner, turns out it WAS one of the owners.Cannot wait to go back to Dallas for a taste of Tiki Loco.
Super cool spot with great vegan tacos...we loved everything we had!
I’m not even lying, this is THE BEST vegan food in all of Dallas. What ever Tiki Loco is doing, they’re doing it right! They have so many delicious options and their whole kitchen menu is gluten free as well! The food is delicious, the smoothies are amazing, AND they have shave ice!!! I love shave ice so this is a huge plus lol. 10/10 would recommend. Everything is fairly priced and higher quality than other vegan restaurants in the downtown area.
We were in Deep Ellum 1 day and we came here twice. Their food is delicious and the service is awesome. They have the best latte Ive ever had- sweet espresso shots with milk that was steamed expertly and to the right temperature. Perfection.
Really enjoyed their nachos and tacos! Lots of Plant based goodness! Will definitely be back.
You really need to like vegan to like this place, you can really taste the plant based food but other than that costumer service is good.
Wow! I recently opened myself to vegan food. This place was wonderful experience. Eclectic atmosphere and charm. Definitely coming back when I make it back downtown.
The bomb.com always smiles when we come and leave happea! Whatelse could you ask for!
Their food was soooo good. Especially loved their gravy and the blended caramel mocha with almond milk! Will definitely be back.
The BBQ Burger was the best food Ive had in Dallas!
Went here not knowing it was vegan (I was too excited to see tacos and coffee in one place) and I loved it. Would absolutely eat here again even though Im not vegan 👍 thank you
Was a little chilly Saturday afternoon so stopped in for hot chocolate and latte. So nice to stop in a vegan coffee/smoothie/ taco shop and not have to pick from a limited menu or attempt to veganize an item. Second time here, first time did pickup and the food was delish. Becoming regulars!
Amazing vegan tacos and nachos. Will definitely be back time and time again for food plus to try their fresh juices and coffee. The service is wonderful and warm.
Great vegan tacos and drinks! The people are super friendly. I love it there - great spot to treat yourself.
Soooo good! I had the beef nachos. Omg delicious! I will definitely be back again & again!
Had a shame here it was a Pina colada of some kind and it was refreshing to say the least. Perfectly paired with Texas weather.
Delicious food, nice staff.. dont let the vegan word scare you off!
Fun spot, lots of space, super clean, friendly and engaging staff.I ordered a strawberry/banana smoothie and it was perfect. Not too sweet, super fresh, fair price!
Ive only had thier smoothies and desserts, but both were very good and I highly recommend trying this place out.
One of my fav places in Dallas! But be careful fil with their rewards a. I Signed up for their rewards on my first visit and kept returning hoping it was accumulating. Come to find out my points were not adding up the entire time :( It’s not clear at all how the points accumulate. But the employees here are very nice ❤️
Quad shot vanilla oat milk latte. So addicted. Awesome staff as well.
Wasn’t too fond of the swarming gnats, nor the shedding scratching dogs inside the restaurant. 😬
Nachos were so good!
Great Service. (amazing service). Loved the food but it was a little dry and the waffle loco moco for my BF was a bit too soft (the waffle) overall we loved it. Well post a review on our collective 150k Vegan IG pages! @veganreina @boricuareina7 @mogulnaj
Tiki Loco is a refreshing vibe of vegan options in Deep Ellum. The extended options of beverages are all non-alcoholic, which is what attracted me here in the first place. I could easily hang out for a long time in the pleasant atmosphere, along with friendly and helpful employees. I tried the (vegan) beef BBQ tacos with queso. The soy protein was textured perfectly and seasoned well. The tacos themselves werent spicy but the queso seemed to be, which was a nice surprise. I will probably try the nachos next time for that reason. Three tacos with queso were $8 and change after tax, which sure beats most of the bar food around. The best part, they are open late and probably a good choice when youre done at the nearby bars.
We went for lunch on Monday. Google maps says they are open for dine-in, but when we arrived they said they are only serving delivery. We ordered the taco party (6 tacos with chips and sauce for 18$) and they were really good: tasty and filling. The attendants were very nice. However I would prefer if they replace the plastic glasses, forks, knives... by other materials more environmentally friendly.
Went today to get a coffee and ended up having lunch, and coffee, and and taking some of the homemade cookies home...First off the restaurant is very clean, organized and the staff was awesome.I got two tacos the chicken and bbq porkboth had insane flavor, very fresh tortillas, meat, & toppings. You can obviously tell everything is made fresh and consistent.Chips and salsa were also fresh and made it even better.On the way out i ordered an ice coffee and some cookies to take home. The oatmeal cream pie was mind-blowing. And the iced coffee was hands down the best iced coffee in DFWAnyways 12/10 recommend, will be back many times
Service is really great and the atmosphere is very hip and cool! I had the Hawaiian steak tacos And they were AMAZING, also had the purple rain smoothie and it was so good. If you’re vegan or just love good tacos you should definitely check this place out!🤗
Love their coffee and cookies.
This place is the jam! Meat free options and so much flavor!! The smoothies are so good!!! Staff of friendly and on point and the entire place is covid ready.
I tried this place with my friend who is vegan, I was pretty impressed with all the food. The staff was friendly, explained to use the concept and gave recommendations. The food came out in a good, I enjoyed the tacos that I had, glad yall have jarritos as well.
Loved the migas and nachos. Super staff, relaxed and accommodating. Appreciate this high quality vegan option.
I wont support nowhere that the owner makes a mockery of my race. You just lost a customer
One of my favorite eateries in Deep Ellum. The Party Melt is to live for! I also hear their coffee is quite delicious (I’ll try that next time)I also LOVE that they have gotten quite innovative with keeping Dallas safe by having a hand wash station at the door. Each time I come in, someone is always wiping something down.Thank you for doing your part and keeping Dallas safe 🙏🏾😊
Grate service . I LOVE IT . AND ara is a aswome human being.
Omg, get the waffle sandwich. Its so deliciously brilliant 👏 💘 💘 Also ask for the potato salad. Its not on the menu and its just strange that potatoes can taste this good!!
Sooo definitely dont miss the Hawaiian theme because it continued into their food. Super healthy like and not what youd expect from a nacho unless youve had nachos on Hawaii! Service was nice. Great work spot!
Amazing! Great service and awesome food. Its not often you can find a food and café place that wants you to stay healthy and happy. They say hello the min you walk-in and from then on its all about your needs and the music is lit 🔥 which is a hella plus!!!!
Decent. I got the Waffle LocoMoco Burger. It was pretty good. The chip and queso, meh. The queso tastes like daiya. Ill be back.
The place is just perfect for everything, and their sandwich is something.
