Extremely sad sugar Taco is closing. My closest one is long Beach and have been going there since it opened not that long ago, and it was such a special experience. There aren't many really good vegan Mexican spots around anymore, especially living in South Bay. I'll try to go as much as I can before they close, especially because I need just one more churro donut! The fish burrito was always my favorite and I really hope this isn't goodbye, just see you later. Thank you sugar Taco.

Starting off with the location, because it's prime center of the melrose district, the parking can be tricky in the evening, eventually finding metered parking is possible, or in the back streets, just be weary of the signs posted! The staff was amazing and super helpful with the choices I ended up picking. Please also note this is an all vegan restaurant with a variety of delicious options. I ended up getting their loaded fries, and they are very generous with their portion. Super delicious and you can even add your choice of plant based protein to it. I had to try their carnitas taco (jack fruit), needless to say it was so well seasoned I could hardly tell it was plant based. Next time I'm ordering three of those! For my drink, I ordered their hibiscus agua fresca, perfectly balanced and refreshing. I absolutely enjoyed my meal here, it also helped that the space was super colorful, and they even have a little store front, if you'd like to take a souvenir or two. I highly recommend this place to anyone. As a non vegan individual, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Amazing flavor -couldn't believe it was all plant-based. The flavors and textures of the food entrees were out of this world and the prices were too. We stopped here before a groundlings performance and the service was speedy and the ambiance was quaint and relaxing.

I tried the holiday burrito from their holiday menu. Inside the burrito was: mashed potatoes, soy turkey, roasted seasonal veggies and cranberry sauce, with gravy on the side. This was unlike anything I've ever ate! It was very different. I enjoyed it mostly but will continue to stick to my usual. This was my third time visiting, and like always, the service did not disappoint. I loved the spicy margarita as well, which has my lips tingling hehe

Yet another gem on Melrose. Stopped by and got the three taco special. They have many flavors of Margaritas to go. $20 got me a JUG and very happy buzz :) tried the lychee flavor and the mango. Fast and efficient service. Cute decor.

Met a friend here for dinner. The vibe here was great. Love the decor and music they were playing. Customer service was great. Everyone was so nice. We ordered a super burrito of Vegan asada, cheese quesadilla, and taco trey plate of (vegan carnitas). Everything was amazing. So full of flavor. This place has been on my bucket list to try for years, and it did not disappoint. I hope to come back here as often as I can when I visit from out of town. They need to bring this to the SF Bay Area.

Sugar Taco is one of my favorite spots to grab food in LA!! I've literally had almost everything on their menu at this point. Burritos, tacos, nachos, churro donuts - I love it all! Like I love it so much that I usually order two meals for myself so I can have more the next day. My go-to protein is the carne asada but I also love the pollo. I also feel like everything is reasonably priced for such quality, plant-based food. The restaurant itself is insanely cute and beautifully decorated - capturing the fun, instagram-worthy vibe of LA mixed with the vibrance of Mexican culture. Presentation is flawless! Plus, staff have always been fab! Occasionally I've had to wait longer for pickup than the estimated time so just something to keep in mind. Sugar Taco is the full package and I recommend it to everyone. My whole family has fallen in love. Can't wait for my next Sugar Taco stop!

Delicious vegan tacos. I loved the "fish taco" which was tofu, and the carnitas that was jackfruit. Really great seasoning and pickled veggies on the tacos. Margarita list was extensive. Loved the cute ambiance! Some extra parking spots in the back.
