Flacos Tacos, for years a go-to spot for vegan Mexican food in Berkeley, is closing its brick-and-mortar location on Dec. 1, 2023. "We want to thank all of the people who have given us the chance to serve them and make it this far but as of now, we can no longer sustain our relationship to our community, and people," the restaurant posted on Instagram. (The news was first reported by Berkeleyside.) Flacos started off as a farmers-market stand in 2001 and soon moved into a charming little hut by the Ashby BART station.
