Tacotarian previews Las Vegas plant-based taco restaurant

John Simmons used Saturday’s Hopped Taco Throwdown to give Las Vegas a sneak preview of a plant-based taco concept, Tacotarian, that his brother and sister-in-law are opening on Fort Apache Road near Patrick Lane. Simmons is lending a hand with the menu, which on Saturday included a vegan chorizo-spiced cauliflower taco with roasted carrot hummus, smoked yogurt, harissa and cilantro on a chickpea flour tortilla. Watch for a late-summer opening.
