Had a barbacoa danger dog and a tamarind marg. That thing was a full meal and SO GOOD! Whatever the “steak” is was sauced perfectly, the pickled onions were bangin, and the side of slaw was unique and delicious. Despite being filling, it wasn’t greasy-heavy. Margarita was well balanced, and certainly not weak.

Granted, El Borracho is arguably primarily a bar that serves vegan bar food but it does both pretty well. With the exception of their vegan nachoes which it does extremely well. I could seriously see myself ordering their nachos several times a week! The margaritas also kick some serious as. #so_good!
This food is so good. And authentic, too. Reminds me of the food my mother used to make me when I was younger. And it’s all vegan, so it tastes even better. I’m impressed.

The restaurant features both outdoor and indoor seating, allowing guests to easily find a table and order by scanning a QR code. The food is served hot, and the menu includes a variety of tasty options, such as Mexican rice, CHUNK brand meat shredded tacos, al Pastor with oyster mushrooms, potato and poblano taco, and a bean and cheese burrito. The salsa is authentic and very good, with four additional self-serve salsas available to try.
The restaurant is well-known for its excellent plant-based dishes, catering effectively to those with dietary restrictions. Customers have praised the vegan options, including vegan salmon that tastes similar to the real thing, and delicious homemade chips.

Recent reviews highlight the fantastic service and good drinks, along with a variety of vegan Mexican meals. Guests enjoyed drinks, chips, guacamole, and salsa, while some noted the very good margaritas.
