We’ve all been there—on a long road trip, cruising down the highway, stomach growling, and suddenly realizing we forgot to pack a lunch. With fast-food signs at every exit, where do you stop?
Good news: Taco Bell has your back. Ordering vegan here is not only possible—it’s surprisingly easy. In fact, it’s been doable for years (substituting beans for meat has always been the go-to swap). But now, the chain has made things even simpler by highlighting veggie options you can customize to fit your needs.
Look for the little green “V” symbol that marks vegetarian items. From there, you can tweak your order to make it fully vegan. You’re not limited to just the veggie menu either—non-vegetarian items can often be customized, too.
Pro Tips for Customizing Your Vegan Taco Bell Order
Ordering vegan at Taco Bell is easier than you think, but a few insider tricks can take your meal to the next level. From app-only customizations and deals to clever ingredient add-ons, these tips will help you get exactly what you want.
- Go fresco style: This removes dairy-based ingredients and swaps in fresh pico de gallo.
- Upgrade with add-ons: Guacamole, potatoes, rice, and jalapeños can take any order to the next level.
- Order through the mobile app: It’s the best way to customize without any confusion at the counter. Plus, you can take advantage of app-only specials that aren’t available in-store.
