El Takin
El Takin is a casual Mexican taco spot that transitioned from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar location. It’s known for its flavorful vegan mini tacos made with plant-based meat alternatives and doubles tortilla shells to prevent breaking. The venue caters to both vegans and non-vegans with a friendly staff willing to customize many dishes vegan-friendly, along with accessible outdoor seating and affordable prices. The menu includes vegan chilaquiles and pambazo, and the salsas get particular praise for taste and variety.
