30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Aliso Viejo

“Solid lunch spot after spending enough time at tj maxx. I always get the grilled steak or Caesar wrap, and urban plates has been very consistent with their food quality. Erika and Luis were incredibly kind and patience. Would come back when I'm in the area!“

“Rarely do I find a restaurant where I want to try everything on the menu!! My friends and I had lunch here a few weeks ago; a few had been there before and they loved it. I was excited to try it. I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas Bowl with added protein of grilled shrimp. It was absolutely delicious and so fresh…the shrimp was done perfectly. We also shared the cauliflower and dates appetizer. I was a little skeptical at first about the interesting combination, but they were fantastic…and addicting! I liked the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was excellent too. My husband and I will be dining there tonight, and he is excited because there are several GF items he can try. I highly recommend this restaurant for their fresh and delicious foods!“

“I don’t think I’ve ever loved a restaurant as much as I love this place. The food is absolutely beyond amazing and their chips and salsa are to die for. I probably come here at least once a week and I’ve never gotten sick of it nor will I ever.“

“Saffron Bakery is easily the best bakery in the neighborhood. The baked goods are outstanding, especially the insanely flaky croissants, rich savory pastries, and fresh, high-quality bread made with excellent ingredients you can actually taste. Everything is baked fresh and the textures and flavors are consistently perfect.

Their breakfast and lunch options are just as good, filling, flavorful, and made with the same level of care. On top of that, the prices are incredibly fair for the quality.

The owner is genuinely kind and welcoming.“

“Traveling with my partner and mother-in-law who are gluten free and also allergic to dairy we’re always looking for places that have a labeled menu or can give good options. The waiter helped us find a couple of great options (goat curry, Chana masala, and mint chicken) which were great!“

“This is my new favorite restaurant hands down no questions asked. The price of the food is more than just fair and the quality is even better. If I really had to nitpick it would be the size of the restaurant but come on let’s be real, small places like this always serve the best food“

“Buen servicio de Alex 👍🏼 y la comida muy rica“

Our server was very kind and attentive — he helped us choose our dishes, gave great recommendations, and answered all our questions.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Everything was just perfect.

We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back, especially since we live nearby!“

“Great service, great food!!👏“

“This place is a hidden gem. 10/10 would eat again. The food is great. The staff are friendly. There are a TON of choices for drinks and sides (bottled drinks and individual chip bags). Large enough menu for both lunch and breakfast and they have rotating daily specials. They will be happy to make you a lunch time sandwich even at 8am.Can’t compliment this place enough. If you are in the area and want a quick and easy breakfast/lunch this is the place!“

“Stopped in to this shop and everything was delicious! Great variety of donuts, burritos were delicious! Staff was kind and helpful. 5 Stars definitely recommend this place.“

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Reading the writings of its founder, Daisaku Ikeda, gave me the seeking spirit to see the Soka University up close. Ikeda gave SU to America. It is the only Soka University outside of Japan. Another reason for recommending it is the aesthetic appeal of surrounding ... the scenery is awe-inspiring.“

“Wow, what a find! The team at Chop Stop went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy allergy. They listened and reassured me they understood- they made me feel completely safe eating here. That kind of care is so special, thank you! Also, the food was fresh and delicious. I’m so happy to have finally found another place I can eat without worry. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“

“My lovely Lea and I live in Abilene, 200 miles away from Coco's in Frisco. We visit on AVERAGE every three weeks! Yes it's THAT good and WELL worth the trip! We usually grab six to go orders. We do enjoy eating there but we have a HUGE bucket list of eateries to check out too. Coco's in Frisco is the one place we ALWAYS stop at though and everything is perfect every time! I guarantee you will love it!“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“I want to shout out this location's team for being one of the most efficient, friendly, and accommodating staffs I've experienced consistently. They really go above and beyond for their patrons, it seems like a very positive, collaborative work culture. Everyone seems happy to be there, and I'm always happy to see them.“

“Outstanding service, polite servers, breathtaking meals, and more! ♥️♥️“

“I don’t get why this place doesn’t have more people come in , owner is really friendly, food is amazing especially the chicken pad Thai and coconut curry. It has the vibe and atmosphere of such a homey and comforting place; I only get this food as comfort and every single time it guarantees me that I feel better. Such an amazing low-key gem thay I hope more people discover“

“I am allergic to shrimp, and today I decided to have an udon soup here. My sincere congratulations and endless thanks to the staff who took care of me tonight at the bar. They remade my order from scratch to make sure there was no cross-contamination, and the manager personally supervised the preparation of my udon soup to ensure it was completely safe. Thank you so much, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant!“

“Love this place! Great burgers and fantastic cocktails. The best part about Eureka is the staff!!!“

“🫓 Fresh Lebanese Manoucheh fresh and still warm from the oven
🥒 Fatteh with Vegetable Plate: Specialty breakfast of garbanzo beans mixed with yogurt, tahini sauce, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and toasted pine nuts topped with baked pita chips. Served with olives, pickles, radish, mint, and tomatoes. It’s a light breakfast option packed full of flavor and refreshing way to start the day.
🍽️ Beef Shawerma Plate: Thinly sliced beef, tomato, onion, parsley, pickles, and tahini sauce served with hummus, salad, rice, and bread. This was the hubby’s favorite. Best beef Shawerma! Packed full of flavor and tender. Also best hummus! Fluffy and not too lemony.
🌙 Kashkaval Cheese Crescent: Kashkaval cheese, sesame seed and black caraway seed. If you love cheese like I do, you’ll love this! It’s like a cheesy calzone! Dip it into hot sauce for a kick!
🍟 Loaded Fries Bowl: French fries, garlic paste, ketchup, and coleslaw, topped with chicken or beef. Ordered chicken which was flavorful and tender. Love me some good loaded fries!
🫓 Arayes: Grilled pita pocket stuffed with seasoned ground beef, onion, and spices. Best way to describe it is a quesadilla but filled with meat instead of cheese. Dip it into the hummus for a twist.
🌯 Sheesh Tawook Wrap: Grilled chicken breast, garlic paste, Mediterranean spices, and pickles. Nice light lunch with flavorful chicken wrapped up with garlicky and pickle flavor.
🌯 Beef Shawerma Arabi: Thinly sliced beef, tomato, onion, parsley, pickles, and tahini sauce, served with french fries. This is my favorite! It’s like a Lebanese steak burger and fries!“

“Nékter in Aliso is faster, cheaper, and much more customer friendly than any of the other Nékters in OC! As I was running in to get a juice, this morning, I accidentally dropped my reusable cup and the rim broke off. The darling sales associate firmly told me that they wanted to replace it, for free (sweetly waving away my protests that it was my fault for dropping my old one). They even gave me the $.50 reusable cup discount on my juice. Thank you, for brightening my day!!“

“Hello again I hope you are understanding how good the food is ! 😊“

“Good beer selection and dog friendly.“

“Fantastic selection of creative and refreshing drinks. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a great spot to unwind and indulge in a sweet treat.“

“A staple!! I’m on the Keto Diet so I get protein style burgers and their salads are great to!!“
