"We’ve long relied on Tlayuda LA in East Hollywood to kickstart our mornings with strong Mexican coffee, a pile of chilaquiles, and maybe pillowy memela every now and then, but their vegan mole tacos are still our lunchtime go-to. Made from hibiscus flowers stewed in their signature mole, the saucy filling is mildly tart, sweet, and nutty and has a similar texture to pulled pork. We also love the lightly charred homemade corn tortillas that bring a nice chew to every bite and the sharpness from the raw onion on top. Along with a few vegan tacos options, you’ll also find vegan potato flautas and a vegan chipotle torta." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, nikko duren
