"Chef Raul Medina perfected his brand of plant-based meats, and his new place is going all-in on vegan Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, and loaded fries. If you’re not a believer in vegan tacos, you should be — Medina’s tacos crushed at L.A. Taco’s 2018 “Taco Madness” competition, beating out many (non-vegan) businesses. Try the carne asada and carnitas tacos, but also pay attention to the specials, which can include comforting pozole." - Dianne de Guzman
