The 27 Best Vegetarian Tacos in L.A., Mapped and Ranked

Tender, flaky young coconut battered like an Ensenada-style fish filet, crispy lions mane mushrooms with the texture of pork belly, roasted cauliflower with more sazón than the overcooked carne asada you had the other night. L.A.'s best and most original tacos are vegetarian.

Los Angeles' best and most original tacos are vegetarian. Wild statement, we know. But we are prepared to back it up.

Sure, we have outstanding al pastor that can go head-to-head with the best in Mexico City and birria and mesquite-grilled carne asada that can hold its own against Tijuana, but vegetarian tacos are 100% L.A., such a wide range rarely seen anywhere else.

Think about it: For all our food allergies, diets, and sensitivities, outstanding tacos that forego anything with a pulse fits our hyper-picky eating ways perfectly. Bring four random Angelenos to a vegetarian taqueria and everyone will get to feast with abandon.
