El Cocinero Restaurant

Vegan restaurant · Van Nuys

"Any discussion of vegan Mexican food in Los Angeles is not complete without a mention of El Cocinero. This taqueria–style restaurant serves up tacos, burritos, tortas, nachos, and more all with its house-made plant-based meat. A vegan flan works great as a sweet after-dinner treat." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
