Vegan Options at Taco Time in 2022

While researching Taco Time’s menu items for this article it became very apparent that most of the options are not vegan-friendly because they included cheese or milk-based ingredients. If you look at the Allergen Guide, you will see almost every item is labeled as having a milk allergen. However, it we were unsure if their products would be vegan if the cheese or sour cream was removed upon ordering. To clarify this, we reached out to the Taco Time customer service team. The following is their response.

Hello Braden,

Thank you for contacting TacoTime. Please use this information only as a guide when making menu choice decisions.  The Flour tortillas are dairy free. Rice and Beans contain dairy. Any Veggie option are vegan as well as the mexi fries (not stuffed). 

 

We hope you find this additional information helpful.

 

Sincerely,

TacoTime Customer Service

However, Veg Knowledge reader Perry further verified with Taco Time regarding the dairy in their rice and beans. This was the response that Perry received:

Hello,
Thank you for contacting TacoTime. Our beans do not contain dairy, however when served they are generally topped with cheese. You can order them without any added cheese. When the rice is prepared, stores have an option of using either butter or shortening to fry it before moving on in the cooking process. We recommend you check with your local store to see what method they are using to prepare their rice. We do hope this helps in regards to making future choices with TacoTime.
Sincerely,
TacoTime Customer Service
