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?

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.

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.
