Martin and Jennifer Reyes opened Donde Los Tacos near the Bishop Arts District in April. Some Taco Tuesdays are filled to the brim with other days just bringing in some consistent regulars. One of the best-selling items from the Reyes’ restaurant is the Taco Perron ($7.50), a ribeye corn or flour-filled tortilla topped with asadero cheese, grilled cactus, avocado and DLT slaw.⁠

With a sister behind the counter and a husband in the back kitchen, Jennifer Reyes knows that it takes a strong support system to start the new venture.⁠

People often don’t even believe they are eating meatless, dairy-free food at Vegan Food House. Owner Elizabeth Anderson says that she’ll often get the jokes, “I like real this, and I like real that,” but when the skeptics come out to try her creations, they often assume there has been some mistake.⁠
⁠
“I have people calling up to the restaurant swearing the oyster mushroom we fried as chicken is real chicken. They always think the shrimp is real,” she says. One popular dish is the fried vegan shrimp zydeco salad ($17) blends together mixed greens with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and house onion strings. The salad is then topped with vegan shrimp, vegan cheese and vegan bacon.⁠
⁠
Anderson shares that others have gone as far as to leave Google reviews that they were given real cheese in their macaroni. “Nothing could be further from the truth. We don’t have anything dairy or meat-related, even in our restaurants, (we) don’t even allow people to bring it in,” she says.⁠
