El Hongo Magico Plant-Based Taqueria, founded in 2022 by Carlos Luna and Bernice Vargas, blends traditional family recipes with plant-based ingredients. Carlos transitioned to a plant-based diet to address chronic colon disease, and Bernice embraced the lifestyle after being diagnosed with early stages of Type 2 Diabetes. Carlos and Bernice integrated offerings from vegan restaurants in Mexico City, and brought these ideas, including the use of mushrooms for protein, back to Chicago.

Lorne Rapkin, PlantX CEO, said, "Our XMarket Vegan Food Hall aims to create the most diverse, and most exciting plant-based culinary experience in Chicagoland, catering to the dietary requirements of vegetarians and the palates of non-vegetarians with cuisine that is delicious and healthy. El Hongo Magico Taqueria will join other plant-based offerings, ranging from hot dogs to traditional salad offerings, establishing a unique, one-stop-shop for all preferences. We love the healthy and delicious traditional Mexican dishes designed by Carlos and Bernice, and El Hongo Magico Taqueria has built a large and loyal cult following in Chicago."

"We transitioned to the plant-based lifestyle to address health concerns, and our results have validated our decision," commented Carlos Luna, co-Founder of El Hongo Magico Taqueria. "Our goal is to delight lovers of Mexican cuisine with traditional dishes with a plant-based twist, utilizing culinary mushrooms to complete traditional family recipes. Our presence in the XMarket Vegan Food Hall will bring our dishes to new customers and help us expand our following. We are excited to be part of this unique dining experience."
