The Queer, Vegan Revolution — Portland-Style. With Mis Tacones' Polo Bañuelos and Carlos Reynoso.

from Taqueando with Bill Esparza · host Acquired Taste Media

This week on Taqueando with Bill Esparza, we head north to Portland to talk with Polo Bañuelos and Carlos Reynoso, the visionary duo behind Mis Tacones — one of the country’s most celebrated vegan Mexican restaurants. 🌮Born from homesickness for the food they left behind in Los Angeles and Mexico, Mis Tacones began as a pop-up and grew into a community-driven restaurant redefining what Mexican food can be — without using a single animal product. Polo and Carlos open up about crafting authentic flavors entirely from plants, building a safe and joyful space for Portland’s queer and Latinx community, and how their city is rallying in the face of recent political turmoil.In this week’s Antojitos Rundown, Bill shares highlights from Rustic Cantina’s pop-up at Rustic Canyon, a special Monterrey-meets-Santa Barbara dinner with Koli at El Encanto, and a brunch stop at Dom’s Taverna.🎧 Available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — powered by Acquired Taste Media.#Taqueando #BillEsparza #MisTacones #VeganMexicanFood #PortlandEats #QueerFood #LAToPortland #MexicanCuisine #FoodPodcast #AcquiredTasteMedia
