If you’re vegan, you know you will not have that many vegan options at most Mexican restaurants. Since “real” or “authentic” Mexican food is made with pork usually. Luckily, there are tons of vegan options in LA. So, Where to find vegan tacos in Los Angeles?

Where to Find Vegan Tacos in Los Angeles

Trejo’s Taco

You would expect Trejo’s Tacos to have vegan tacos but it does! It has the most unique vegan tacos in Los Angeles. Three kinds: Cauliflower, mushroom, and jackfruit. They have somehow figured out how to make jackfruit taco look and taste like pork taco. are unconventional, maybe even a little risky. But what else did you expect from L.A.’s favorite movie bad guy, Danny Trejo?  

Vibe: Chill

Location: La Brea | Hollywood | LAX | Woodland Hills | USC Village

Pink Taco

Since Pink Taco is located on the Sunset Strip, it’s very trendy and rock ‘n’ roll. The founder of Pink Taco was the grandson of Morton’s steakhouse co-founder and son of Hard Rock Cafe co-founder. So, he grew up around the food business and rock. They serve traditional tacos as well as the best vegan taco.

Vibe: Hipster and rock

Location: Sunset Strip (8225 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046)

Tocaya Organica

Tocaya Organica started out in Venice but it’s pretty much like a modern Mexican chain. Most people think Tocaya is a vegan restaurant but it’s natural and sustainable with vegan options. Tocaya in Los Angeles has 4 types of vegan tacos, which are all gluten-free.

Gracias Madre is a plant-based Mexican restaurant with all vegan and organic food. You might go there for the chic scene or the cocktails but you can definitely find the best vegan tacos in Los Angeles there.

Vibe: Chic & Upscale

Tacos Tu Madre

Tacos Tu Madre is best known for its creative tacos. It is an understated walk-up window and a small cafe but it has an Instaworthy mural. The tacos are so good that you’ll order two. But don’t forget that Instaworthy shot by the mural.

Toca Madre

Toca Madre is a posh Mexican restaurant with a vegan menu. It definitely has a scene. But if you want to avoid the scene and just try the food, go earlier. As the night goes on, Toca Madre becomes club-ish. I love Toca Madre for tacos since the menu has a variety of vegan tacos.

Vibe: Trendy and Very Upscale
