I want to give this place 5 stars for the taste and service. So good! The waitress was very attentive and helpful. The food was fresh, unique and the flavor was fantastic. Only downside was the size of the plates. I'll add a picture of the tacos for reference, but it definitely isn't a "eat until you're full" type place to eat while on a budget. But the little details and taste beckon another visit.

Centrally located in Wynwood, this Vegan joint is the jam! They serve popular Mexican dishes, with a vegan twist. Their menu is a bit on the pricey side, but as of this writing, if you share pictures on social media mentioning their establishment, they'll hook it up with 20% off the tab (I'll gladly take it).
I had the Platano Asado to start. The thing I found most savory was their toasted pepita's spread all over. Hard to describe, but that's actually what made the Platano stand out so much.
Main entré was the "El Carnal" Burrito, which was surprisingly satisfying and left me full. My one and only complaint about Vegan foods, is how much more you'd have to eat in order to feel satisfied. This met and exceeded all of my expectations and was absolutely delicious. Can't recommend that particular burrito enough! If you're a lover of the spicy foods, then you'd be enamored with this one!
And finally, the desert. The Cinamon Cacao Tiramisu...mannnn if I wasn't getting ready for a marathon, I would've destroyed 3 of those bad girls! So so sweet, but not over the top. "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
All in all, I'd highly recommend this place, their great customer service and simple, yet all around great menu. In a place where there's an plethora of independent restaurants to choose from, you won't be let down by this one.

I want to start by saying, to all my meat loving friends, don't let the "vegan" deter you from checking this joint out! Hand pressed tortillas? YES PLEASE! The flavor profiles were on point. The tacos and Diablo Burrito were all delicious and filling! The effort that went into authentic taste should not be over looked!! I love meat and Mexican food, And I definitely will go for this plant based deliciousness everytime I'm in the area! Fantastic! As a side note, our server (Nicole) was pleasant and very knowledgeable!
It's always nice to eat at a vegan restuarant without having to ask if it's vegan! Cvt didn't disappoint! The tostones & the quinoa slaw they sat atop were delicious & the elote was tasty. We ordered a variety of tacos but it seems that my faves were the porkless ones which were the salsa verde & the prensado. The tacos are corn tortillas with a much milder corn tortilla taste. I am not a corn tortilla fan so I was grateful that these weren't over bearing. The margarita was also good but not made sweet like most margaritas I'm used to getting. I'd definitely return to CVT.
I'll be the first to say that I was skeptical when trying a Vegan Taco spot, as I am not myself vegan. However, Charlys Vegan Tacos will make you forget all things meat. Each taco is bursting with fresh ingredients, full of flavor. You know that they are made with passion and that each one us beautifully constructed to leave your taste buds soaring. The Tiramisu dessert is a must and the Elotes are also a fun and yummy way to start the meal
Went out to dinner here for the first time the other night.. but definitely won't be our last. Hands down the best Mexican food I've ever had the pleasure of trying. I got the Charly's Signature Tacos, my girlfriend got the Carne Sin Carne, and we shared of plate of nachos . We don't even live in the area but can say without a doubt it's worth the drive. 100% would recommend anyone check this place out if you haven't already!!
All foods are vegan 🌱
Not being 100% vegan myself, I was a little skeptical to how some of my favorite types of food (tacos) might taste with meat substitutes... all I have to say is, you don´t have to be vegan to appreciate these tacos! We got a few different ones and they were all very tasty and had distinct flavors which is important to me.
When I went, Nicole, was our server and really walked us through the menu and even shared some of her favorites - which also became my favorites. All the staff was super helpful. I got the Corn Elote, the three miami special tacos, the avocado appetizer, and for dessert I got the passion fruit cheesecake. I can’t wait for my next visit to Wynwood to try more items off the menu!
Ps. They change the dessert menu often but if they have the passion fruit cheesecake - get it! You won’t regret it 🤤
Incredible vegan food. So impressed with the attention to detail, all homemade ingredients, presentation, and all around deliciousness!! The loaded nachos are simply a must. Seitan carne asada tacos cooked to perfection.
I add to this review that we are full time vegan travelers and food writers. we have tried a lot of the top vegan restaurants in the world and this spot ranks up there with the best.
It's not cheap but for the quality the prices are reasonable. We had the nachos and an order of tacos and we were stuffed and we are big eaters. The portions are really good too.
Highly recommend this spot.
The food had plenty of flavor. The service was exceptional. The cost was great for the quality and love the chief put in the the preperation of the food. Charley's vegan tacos is a must for Vegans and non vegans. Do not let the traffic discourage you. You will not disappointed.
I had the Nachos nachos, Tacos (Al pastor, Chicarron presansado, Carne Asada ) , Avocado fries, The drink was Passion fruit tamarind(wow).
After your meal there is plenty activities in the area.
Everything about Charly’s was great. From the food to the atmosphere. As soon as I walked I I was greeted and seated. It was pretty full and that was a great sign. The waitress sat us down and explained that everything on the menu is 100% vegan. This was confusing because the naming of the food is traditional. I order the Taco Trio when you can select your own taco. I Carne Asada, Chicharron Verde and the Presada and I was amazed at the amount of flavor. It tasted just like meat and had the same texture which through me for a curveball. I wonder what alternative they use for meat, is it jackfruit? Since they don’t have smoothies I got the juice and I am forever impressed. They have a Strawberry Soursop Juice. Not only do they have it in juice for but they also have it in Cheesecake form. I made sure to save room for the cheesecake to go. I can honestly say that the experience was wonderful and I will be back as I have added this spot to my list of favorites.

We were in the Wynwood area for business and decided to try Charly’s as a healthy option. I am so happy we decided to give them a try. Their food is OUTSTANDING!!! We have eaten at quite a few vegan restaurants over the years and this place by far was my favorite! We ordered the Nachos Machos as an appetizer and it was fantastic! The serving size was plenty for me and my wife and it was bursting with flavor and a variety of textures. For our beverage, we had the fresh strawberry-soursop juice. The juice was refreshing and flavorful. For our meal, I ordered the “Meat Lovers” burrito and the wife ordered 3 tacos (Chorizo, Carne Asada, and Smoked Portobello). Don’t let the names fool you, everything is vegan. The burrito was off the chain delicious! The fresh ingredients, seasoning, and textures were all on point. Same with the tacos... flavor explosion. There was ample outdoor seating with shade provided by large umbrellas. It was a classic South Florida day and very hot/ humid but luckily there was enough of a breeze and shade to make it comfortable. If you are ever in Wynwood, I highly recommend Charly’s! Even if you are not vegan, they food is amazing and you will not be disappointed. Oh yeah, our server was Nicole and she was great... very friendly, attentive, and had a great personality & attitude! Very happy customer and we will be back for sure #supportlocalbusinesses #veganrestaurant
Outstanding service and delicious food. They brought me the wrong order of tacos, apologized and made it right by not only brining me my right order but letting me keep the wrong ones to try. Definitely recommend the nachos, ‘carne asada’ tacos + any of their drinks.
What a beautiful experience all around. We went with excitement for plant based tacos and it did not disappoint.
We started off with the ceviche which is so amazing. Better than any ceviche I have had before.
The El Diablo burrito is fantastic and the Carne Sin Carne tacos are out of this world.
I will be back any time I am in Miami.
Met Bryan the chef. What a really down to earth super nice man.
Thank you for the beautiful meal!

Been waiting for months to finally be in Wynwood for a chance to eat here. The food was delicious! I ordered the Elote and Carne sin Carne Tacos. Both items took me to a place before I went vegan that is nice to experience once in a while. The ambiance here is definitely enjoyable. Great music and people watching.
Charly's has a great atmosphere with beautiful decor, excellent customer service, and the most delicious vegan food I have ever tasted. Keeps me coming back to try different dishes.
This place was amazing little spot. Cozy. Tasty. We had a burrito and Tacos. Perfectly seasoned and perfect portions. Will be visiting again and taking more pictures. Looking forward to trying more stuff of the menu.
Really yummy! Went here for my birthday, brought some non veg friends. They loved it! We got sparkling water, but just know if you want filtered flat water it's $1. Ask for tap if you don't want to pay the extra $1. Forgot to take photos of the tacos, but got some of the decor. Will definitely come back again. Even saw Chloe Coscarelli eating there while we were there 😎 Great Miami taco spot.
SUCH good tacos! Tacos we tried in order of yumminess: chicarron prensado, smoked portobello, yuba carnitas, carne asada (a little too sweet for me, but still good). Service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. The only food our table had that we didn’t love was the elote, which is covered in peanuts (might be good to know for someone who doesn’t like peanuts, like myself). The two meat-eaters I brought here loved it too!

Charly's is a 100% vegan restaurant and It took me some time to convince my meat-loving family to join me. However, their reaction was priceless.
The food was incredible, best nachos I've ever had (counting the non vegans I've had before going vegan) and delicious options that awakened nostalgia from my childhood, the "Plátano asado" is great if you like sweet platain and the "Elote" was another pleasant surprise.
Tacos and burritos were great but I can't stress enough how much I loved the nachos, honestly don't miss those.
Finally, for desert you HAVE to get the strawberry and soursop cheesecake, again, the best cheesecake I've had even counting the non vegans I've had. It is definitely my favorite desert now, credits to Pamela Wasabi's bakery for her presence at Charly's. If you like chocolate, don't miss the tiramisu!
Location wise, this vegan paradise is in the heart of Wynwood making it a pleasant option to walk around and check out the art and murals, not to mention it's quite alive at night.
About covid-19, this restaurant was very clean, digital menu option, masks required till you sit and overall I felt very comfortable.
This is a rather extensive review but I think it's the least I can do after being so nicely attended by the amazing staff and discovering such amazing vegan options. I'm quite sad I didn't get to try the "avocado fries" and I will definitely dream about those nachos and cheesecake for a while.
All this said, give this place a chance, you won't be disappointed!
