Costa Mesa Vegan Taqueria’s Hibiscus Blossom Taco is a local favorite

Aguilar says he became vegan seven years ago and when he saw that there weren’t many options for Mexican vegan food, he went for it.

“That’s why we started selling our food as a pop-up, eventually it became a restaurant,” Aguilar said.

“It’s the best vegan Mexican food ever,” said Ellen Gurzy of Westminster. “Taco Tuesday is a great deal. I think he can get it for $6. So here we come. We love it.”

“A lot of people find it strange to hear about it. And then we tell them to try it, and they love it,” Aguilar said.

“They can fill the needs of someone who can’t eat gluten. They’re just fabulous,” said Cheryl Kramer of Tustin.

“Come here for the tacos. Always. Vegan or not, come here for the tacos,” Gurzy said.
