The 17 Best Tacos in the Oakland, Richmond, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"“This is all vegan, right?” Once the food comes out, it becomes clear why this is one of the most-asked questions that guests ask at this compact taqueria. Chef Raul Medina has perfected the vegan taco, successfully replicating the texture and complex flavors traditionally found in meats at taquerias. He’s considered every aspect of the taco — and it shows. The corn tortillas come from La Finca and everything from the smoky “carne asada” to the adobo-spiced mushroom al pastor to the carne con chile rojo are well-salted, well-seasoned, and well … just flat-out good. Like any other taco, they’re best eaten fresh, so try to snag one of the few tables outside to gobble them up the minute they arrive." - Lena Park
