TGIF: THANK GOD I'M A FOODIE FOOD

INTERVIEWED BY BRYANT D.
Masa Taco is a taco shop specializing in Vegan tacos and handmade flavored

tortillas. Let me tell you; they are killing it! We recently had the opportunity to
check out Masa Taco and sample a few of their tacos. We tried too many to talk
about them all here (check out our Masa Taco podcast to see my take on all the tacos
we tried). A few of my favorites were the Al Pastor, Campachana and the Carnitas.

#1: Campachana

My favorite taco of the night was the
Campachana. Traditionally, Campachana is
made with seafood. This one, however, is a
vegan meat trio cooked and seasoned to
perfection. And once again, placed onto a

smoky chipotle handmade tortilla. But the
secret for this taco is the coconut-based vegan
cheese. This "cheese" takes the taco from a

solid eight or nine to a 15! It adds a creaminess
that blends perfectly with all the "meats."

#2: Al Pastor

Next in line was the Al Pastor. With this one,
they take tempeh (a soy-based protein) and use
traditional al pastor seasoning but instead of
using fresh pineapple, they use dehydrated

ones which gives it a little more concentrated
pineapple flavor. They top it all off with
chopped cilantro and more of the delicious

vegan crema all on a handmade tortilla. This
was a ridiculously good taco and easily a nine
on the scale and was almost my favorite.
