El Charrito Market - Gilroy

This place is a total gem just north of downtown Gilroy, I’ve included a photo of the menu, but they also have a specific vegan menu they’ll get for you upon request. They’re also very accommodating when it comes to gluten sensitivity (all of what we ordered was gf/v: potato enchiladas with delicious red sauce , potato tamales, tofu veggie scramble, plantains for dessert, fresh squeezed OJ). Ask for extra red sauce, it was good with the tamales. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly, we’ll definitely stop in again next time we make the drive up to SF.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the vegan menu was conveniently placed on top of the register. The woman who assisted us was very accommodating, even switching to English when our Spanish was lacking. I ordered the enfrijoladas and my partner had the sopes, both of which were incredibly delicious. The beans were the highlight, being more flavorful than the fake meat. The tortillas were thick and fresh. I will definitely make a point to stop by again when passing through Gilroy.

Wow this place is amazing. Located inside a market, the entire left side of the store is the restaurant where you can ask for the separate plant based menu. I didn’t get a picture, but the menu was much larger than the picture of it on here. Seems like they have expanded their plant based options. They also have vegan cakes in their cooler for purchase. I ordered the papas enchiladas. Everything was amazing. Only thing I would change is to add more salt to it all as it lacked a little but it was still wonderful. They also give you a verde and a rojo sauce to add onto your dishes and both are super delicious. Beans and rice were the perfect consistency. Decent prices and they serve you a lot of food. I couldn’t finish my plate and I hadn’t eaten anything for 9 hours prior so I was super hungry. Staff is very sweet and informative as well. Don’t pass this place up. I will definitely be coming back.

Some of my favorite dishes are here and they are tasty

Found via Happy Cow because Yelp sucks. They are new to Began but have hand written vegan menu with 9 or so options. We had burritos and were very satisfied. With the taste. Beans, rice and veggies. Salads are terrific. They are just learning the vegan thing so look forward to how they adapt.
