Vegan Cheese Steaks and Cashew Sauce at South Eugene's Vegimoto
A South Eugene food cart brings an all-vegan menu to South Town Station, anchored by a plant-based take on a classic sandwich.
What's on the Cart
Vegimoto is an all-vegan food cart parked at South Town Station in South Eugene. The menu leans into variety, but one item rises above the rest: the vegan cheese steak. It starts with wheat-gluten-based deli slices, gets layered with grilled onions and spices, and finishes with a house-made cashew cheese sauce, all served on a warm bun.
A Menu Built from Scratch
The cashew cheese sauce is the kind of detail that separates a thoughtful kitchen from a simple substitute. Made in-house and draped over the grilled filling, it gives the cart's signature sandwich a richness that keeps people coming back. The operator has also mentioned plans to add music and eventually beer and wine to the experience.
“I was really attracted to living in Eugene because of a lot of the things happening around food and the environment, environmental consciousness, food consciousness.”

Why Eugene
The person behind Vegimoto says he was drawn to Eugene specifically because of what was already happening here around food and the environment. The city's food consciousness and its culture of environmental awareness matched what he was looking for before he ever opened a cart.
The Place Itself
Beyond the food scene, he points to the natural beauty and the ease of getting outdoors as things that make this part of Lane County worth staying in. In his words, it is really easy to get outdoors and do something fun here, and the community around South Town Station reflects that same energy.
