Taqueria La Venganza

"A sought-after vegan Mexican restaurant originally from Oakland, known for its unique and flavorful vegan tacos and dishes." - Paolo Bicchieri

"A plant-based taco and breakfast sandwich spot in Civic Center, focusing on Oakland and future LA locations." - Paolo Bicchieri

"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

"Sure, La Venganza has spread its wings to San Francisco with a new outpost in Market Street’s Saluhall, but the vegan taco magic is alive and well at the East Bay shop. Go for the mushroom carnitas or al pastor tacos, if you’re looking for a place to start." - Lena Park, Dianne de Guzman
