East Coast Taco - Niantic

I had the fried tofu taco, the one menu item listed as vegan, but when I inquired, I was told it’s fried in the same oil as animal meat. There’s more flexible options for vegetarians, as opposed to vegans.

Vegans beware, they fry the tofu for the “vegan” taco with fish. I asked and they said they grill the veggies separately from meat and the rice and beans were vegan friendly. I had 2 veggie soft corn tacos without cheese made into a platter (served with rice and beans) and guacamole. Overall okay experience and okay food.

Restaurant has several vegan/vegetarian options: burritos, tacos, enchiladas, etc. But they will also happily make ingredient substitutions when requested if anything is not to your taste. Don't be afraid to ask for a little heat too!

The chips and salsa are fresh and delicious, and the grilled vegetables tacos without cheese are satisfying. While the vegan options aren't extremely extensive, my vegetarian friend had a lot of options to choose from. The restaurant has super neat decor, and the service is quick. I would definitely revist.
