ABOUT TAQUERIA LA VENGANZA
Before moving to the United States and becoming vegan, Chef Raul Medina recalls butchering chickens in Mexico. At one point, he declared he could no longer continue to kill animals for food and began a vegetarian diet. After realizing how processed cheese is in the U.S., Medina also gave up dairy products and switched to a fully plant-based diet. Tired of the lack of vegan Mexican options in the Bay Area, Medina began his first pop-up in Downtown Oakland. Since then, he’s quit his full-time job as an immigration defense attorney to pursue creating authentic vegan Mexican dishes full time. Today, Medina experiments with various pop-ups in Santa Ana, Oakland and Los Angeles, California. Medina also won best taco – meat or vegan – at the Los Angeles “Taco Madness” competition in 2018. For more information, visit venganzafoods.com or follow @thevegantaqueria.
