Vegetarian & Vegan Options at Taco Time

Taco Time's bean-based items make it one of the easier Mexican fast-food stops for vegetarians. Going fully vegan takes a couple of swaps, but it's doable.
Best vegetarian items
The standouts are the Crisp Pinto Bean Burrito, the Veggie Soft Taco (the lightest taco on the menu at ~200 cal), the Classic Veggie Burrito and the Fresh Veggie Taco Salad.
Making it vegan
Order bean items without cheese and sour cream, and check that the beans and tortillas are prepared without lard at your location — preparation varies by franchise. Add guacamole and pico de gallo for flavor and healthy fats.
Sides that work
Beans, rice, chips and the salsas are all plant-forward. Always confirm fryer and ingredient details locally if you're strict.
