Tortilla Republic LLC - KOLOA

While limited “on the menu” vegan options, they were very accommodating to omit the cheese from one of the salads and the veggie enchiladas. The food tasted great! Margaritas were excellent too!

2019 review: We remembered this place as having great vegan options when we came four years ago. Unfortunately the dinner menu no longer has the delicious vegetarian burrito. They have a veggie enchilada but you have to customize the heck out of it to make it vegan. If you are hungry in this shopping plaza, I suggest an Uncle’s shave ice, a Beyond burger at Bubba’s, or driving a bit farther to Kukuiula Market for an açaí bowl, or even Puka Dog for a veggie dog. 2015 review: This place was exactly what we were looking for in Kauai. We ended up going here twice: once for happy hour and once for a light dinner. We live in LA, so when I heard there was an LA-based Mexican place with vegan options near our hotel, I was keen to try it. I'm glad that we did. Happy hour prices are awesome; $5 for a margarita in Poipu is a steal. We paid almost three times that $14) for a single margarita at our hotel. The service is pleasant enough and at dinner, you get free chips and salsa. The real benefit of coming here in my opinion, however, was the delicious vegetarian burrito! We ordered it vegan no cheese) and it was probably the most flavorful thing we had on the island. We found a lot of the vegan options in Kauai to taste a bit bland, and this was totally on-point for spices and zest, without being too spicy for my husband. Tip: Ask for the housemade yellow hot sauce if you're a real spice fiend. That stuff is pure habanero gold.

While nothing on the menu is explicitly vegan, staff were knowledgeable of what could be modified to be vegan. I had the enchilada vegetariano without the dairy and it was fine. If you're eating out with omnis, this place will fill you up, but I wouldn't make a point of going otherwise.

I had a great taco salad here, subbing rice for cheese. It was fresh and tasty. There's a bowl menu item which can be made vegan by leaving the cheese off. Since both the rice and beans are vegan there are other possible menu modifications as well.
