A post shared by Diana Edelman 🌱 Vegans, Baby (@vegansbaby)

The concept is simple: plant-fueled Mexican goodness. Think tender jackfruit birria, battered oyster mushroom tacos, and heaping burritos.

The menu at Raíz is loaded with excellent choices. Split into sections, your main choices are tacos, burritos, salads and specialties.

7 dishes to order at Raíz NYC

1. Can’t believe it’s Birria

Tender, melt-in-your-mouth jackfruit is slow-cooked and topped with onions and cilantro. Served with birria sauce, dunk that taco in there for the perfect combo of flavors and a little extra heat.

2. Baja Tacos

3. Sweet Potato and Kale Burrito

This monster burrito comes stuffed with sweet potato, rice, beans, blanched kale and avocado. Then, they toss in a creamy pico-jalapeño ranch dressing and fried plantains for a little extra oomph. 

4. Brunch All Day Burrito

5. Crop Chopt Salad

If you want some greens, try this salad. The massive bowl of blanched kale tossed in a lemon vinaigrette comes with beets, crunchy jicama, hemp seeds and avocado.

6. Nugs + Sauce-a

New vegan restaurants NYC: Raiz. For more vegan dining in NYC visit www.vegansbaby.com

We’re always looking for a good vegan nugget, and Raíz’s are good. They’re using the nuggets from nearby Lily’s vegan grocery. Crispy-on-the-outside and juicy on the inside, you can dunk these bad boys in a creamy chipotle mayo or jalapeño ranch.

7. Crispy Dilla

best vegan restaurants nyc: raiz.

Finally, there’s the Crispy Dilla. It’s a birria-style quesadilla using that delicate jackfruit with cheddar cheese. Grab this if you want to try something a little different, but definitely delicious.
