VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2023 / PlantX Life Inc. (CSE:VEGA)(Frankfurt:WNT1)(OTC PINK:PLTXF) ("PlantX" or the "Company"), the digital face of the plant-based community, operating a one-stop shop for plant-based products, today announced that El Hongo Magico Taqueria, Chicago's first Myco-Taqueria, will be added to the initial food lineup at the XMarket Vegan Food Hall as one of its six initial culinary concepts when the Midwest's largest food hall officially opens to the public toward the end of September.

PlantX Life Inc., Tuesday, August 29, 2023, Press release picture

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."

Co-developed and operated with the Macromia Group, a restaurant developer specializing in building high-end dining and retail locations from concept to creation, the 6,500 square foot XMarket Vegan Food Hall will be the largest vegan food hall in the Midwest. The space will seat 375 people and include six restaurants, a wine and beer bar, a coffee shop, and a bodega-style grocery store that includes a vegan cheesemonger. The food hall is located at 804 W. Montrose Ave. on the north side of Chicago.

Q1 2024 Financial Results
In addition to this remarkable culinary collaboration, PlantX reported its condensed interim consolidated financial results for fiscal Q1 2024 for the period ended June 30, 2023 ("Q1 2024").
