Wild Living Foods

The Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Downtown’s Wild Living Foods is one of the few raw food restaurants throughout the city. The kitchen team prepares foods between 104 and 118 degrees to emphasize the natural form of vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts. First-timers will benefit from ordering the inventive tacos — a pumpkin seed “chorizo” is packed into a lettuce wrap; drizzled with decadent cashew cheese; and topped with avocado, crispy walnuts, and a spicy crema." - Mona Holmes

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater LA

"Raw cuisine is such an odd, fascinating subsection of veganism. I remember first hearing about it in 2000, and lived blocks away from a restaurant that bragged about food in its natural form and never cooked over 117 degrees. But that doesn’t sound particularly appealing in 2020, when comfort food calls out to me day and night. Recently a friend dropped off tacos from Downtown’s Wild Living Foods, and I was shocked at how happy I was to get a healthy serving of vegetables in my system days before I consume plates full of mac and cheese. The tacos in particular are delicious. Every ingredient is made in-house starting with a lettuce-wrap stuffed with ‘chorizo’ made from pumpkin seeds, drizzled with cashew cheese that feels decadent, avocado, crispy walnuts, a spicy, creamy sauce without an ounce of actual dairy. Wild Living Staff go big on flavor, which always works no matter what type of food you’re eating." - Eater Staff
