"Los Angeles got its first vegan butchery when Maciel’s opened in Highland Park in 2020. The founder set out to create a neighborhood deli where one could find plant-based meats and stacked sandwiches, as well as aguas frescas and classic sides like coleslaw. On the menu, find sandwiches like a Reuben and Italian sub; breakfast burritos (until 1 p.m.) and wraps are also available. The shop is great for takeout, though there are several tables flanking the partially covered sidewalk in front of it for those who would like to eat there." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
