Tacos Cancun is a small Mexican eatery right by Newport Beach's Balboa Pier offering a fully separate vegan menu with items like vegan chicken, asada, and soyrizo tacos. The owner, a vegan herself, personally guides guests through the vegan options—many of which are gluten free—and the casual spot features outdoor beachside seating and fast counter service. Reviews note some unreliability in hours but praise the friendly, knowledgeable service and reasonable prices, typically around $10-$20 for filling plates.
