"Many of us have devoured tacos al pastor in front of a vegan friend who ordered three rounds of chips and guac instead. East Hollywood’s Tlayuda LA provides a different (and less awkward) experience by serving delicious Oaxacan classics with tons of plant-based options. Their signature tlayudas can be ordered with meats like cecina or tasajo, or a mix of sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini on top of savory bean paste. Get the vegan tacos on handmade tortillas, too, filled with savory-sour hibiscus flowers simmered in rich mole negro." - sylvio martins
