If you’re in the 75227 or anywhere near East Dallas, chances are someone’s already told you about our tacos. At El Palote, we make every dish from scratch using time-honored family recipes and vibrant vegan ingredients. Our plant-based meats are seasoned with the same depth and soul you’d find in abuela’s kitchen — but everything here is 100% cruelty-free.

The food was really good and filling. So glad to find a total vegan restaurant, with traditional Mexican food. I will go back for sure. I had the gordita with brisket and bistec. The brisket needed a little more flavor but the green sauce gave a lot of flavor overall.
My friend and I visited the restaurant because we saw it on diners, drive-ins and dives. Neither one of us are vegan and the food was absolutely outstanding! The portions are large. We were able to take half of our meal home to enjoy another meal the next day. The service was great. The person behind the counter was ... extremely helpful. She knew we had never been there before and answered all of our many questions in a very polite and Customer service oriented way! We are almost an hour away and will be back again. The drive was worth it.!! Thank you! Read More
There's no need to be cruel. “El Palote” has served the vegan community for 10+ years. Just because they now have some animal-derived ingredients doesn't mean they're not the best. They're still the best! Stop being so selfish and judge full!
We always visit El Palote when we visit Dallas from San Antonio. We love their taco plate and the pan Dulce. We always take extra pan Dulce to enjoy during the week. Highly recommend the visit, the staff is extremely nice and attentive.
I loved it so so much!!! I love an entirely vegan restaurant. I got the fajita and the vanilla cream pastry. They were both chefs kisses so I had to get two frozen packs of the fajitas and another vanilla cream to go. For sure will be back!
Absolutely delicious! I've tried many dishes here, and none of them disappoint! I'm so happy that there is a vegan restaurant with authentic Mexican food and flavors. Their pan dulce is so good. The staff is always kind and friendly. Vegan or not, you need to try El Palote!
This is a true vegan restaurant. With my mammal allergy it was wonderful to be able to order anything on the menu including the desserts without asking any questions. The lady who was at the counter was extremely helpful with our order. She suggested that we order the four taco dinner which comes with rice and beans ... or fries. There were twelve types of protein options. They were all similar in texture but I believe they are marinaded differently. These street tacos were served on two soft corn tortillas with a container of onions, cilantro and lime wedges. We also ordered the optional grilled onions and jalapeno. In addition we shared an order of nachos. They required a fork because of the amount of toppings. We brought home a couple of the bakery items for dessert. Man are we full. May nap before dessert. I almost forgot. They have a little gift shop as well. Read More
