Fan-Favorite Vegan Mexican Restaurant Taqueria La Venganza Just Closed in San Francisco’s Saluhall | Eater SF

"One of the Bay’s most sought-after vegan Mexican restaurants closed its Civic Center outpost at the Market Street food hall; the food stall outpost closed for good on Friday, March 7. The operation originally opened in Oakland and had become an anchor tenant in the huge Market Street food hall. In an Instagram post, chef and owner Raul Medina wrote this location was only meant to last a year to see how he felt about opening in San Francisco. Medina also wrote about the difficulty of running a restaurant inside of a larger company (in this case, the food hall) and told Eater SF he felt overseas management made it unclear how much autonomy he really had as a business within the larger space. He is quoted: “Food halls and ghost kitchens are death,” and “It’s not the ’90s anymore and food halls — like malls — are going extinct.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
