Vegan by El Zamorano Opens Brick-and-Mortar Taqueria in Orange County

Orange County Mexican food pop-up, Vegan by El Zamorano, is set to open its first permanent restaurant location in Costa Mesa this June. The small business has gained popularity among locals for its wide range of traditional and inventive vegan Latin proteins including asada, al pastor, chicken, cauliflower, and hibiscus. The storefront menu will offer the pop-up staples—tacos, burritos, and Asada Fries—in addition to a broader range of items including tortas, quesadilla, and chile relleno plates. All vegan meats are made in-house along with the pop-up’s signature meltable cashew-based cheeses in flavors such as mozzarella and roasted jalapeÑ. Vegan by El Zamorano will become Orange County’s first brick-and-mortar taqueria.
