40 Under 40: Kristen Corral, Co-founder, Tacotarian

Kristen Corral

A serial entrepreneur and small-business advocate, Kristen Corral taught herself everything she knows, learning and growing—in more ways than one—along the way.

Corral founded Little White Dog Co. in 2011 and quickly scaled it to six figures. Then, she fell into the restaurant industry with the opening of Tacotarian.

Tacotarian is the plant-based Mexican eatery behind every vegan’s taco dreams. Opening its third location this summer, Corral aims to change people’s minds about vegan food and encourage them to make healthier choices not only for themselves, but for the planet and animals.

An avid supporter of the local restaurant community, Corral worked with Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom to pass a cap on third-party delivery apps that were gouging restaurants during the pandemic. Now, she is working to launch a competing delivery co-op that will be owned by the Las Vegas restaurant community and will save the industry hundreds of thousands of dollars.
