50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Downey

“When we went to Porto's Bakery and cafe we had no idea that there would be tons of food to select from. We had a cheese & spicy pepper potato ball, and the savory sampler. We loved every thing that we ate. The place was clean and the staff was more than helpful. Can't wait to go back.“

“Love going here“

“Great food! 😋 friendly staff“

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.“

“Very good service and the food was delicious“

“I've been going to Pieloon for a few years now and it is THE BEST restaurant in Downey! The food is always fabulous, the portions are large, the service is perfect! I've had appetizers, salads, pastas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches (I'm addicted to the BLT) and many of their specials. My family and I go now 2x a week and have trouble deciding what to get because it's all so good! And the pies...their pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had and the blueberry cheesecake is fabulous...but just wait until fresh peach pie season...I'll gain weight just thinking about it...the fresh peach is the best pie I've ever, EVER had! I love this place and the people who work there!! They're like family now!“

“Friendly customer service“

“I spotted this place while driving to See’s Candies and decided to give it a try, so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point. We were greeted right away, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming, homey vibe.

The menu selection is solid. We ordered the beef gyro and the chicken souvlaki plate. The beef gyro was very tasty, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken souvlaki was also delicious, but the real standout for me was the hummus. It’s made in-house, and you can absolutely tell, creamy, warm, and honestly one of the best hummus dishes I’ve had.

It even brought back memories of Papa Cristo back in Mid-City LA, that’s how good it was. If you’re craving quality Mediterranean food, don’t pass this gem up.“

“Been coming here for 15 years+ always amazing service and delicious food!!! The tacos dorados de pollo are the absolute best and everyone is always so friendly and kind. I would always recommend this restaurant. The food is affordable and amazing.“

“Yummy yummy food!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I’ve been coming to this authentic Mexican mom-and-pop restaurant for over 10 years, and it has never disappointed me. The food is consistently amazing rich in flavor, homemade, and prepared with genuine care and tradition. Despite what may appear online, the restaurant is NOT permanently closed, they are OPEN and actively serving customers. Please don’t let that misinformation stop you from visiting. Every dish I’ve tried has been excellent, but the tamales are truly unforgettable, hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. This place is a true hidden gem that deserves recognition and continued support.“

“My name is Anne-Marie Buynak, Maria Buynak's daughter. I will be leaving reviews as of Maria's passing in July 2025. If you knew her, please keep her in your memories and hearts and I will do the same. Excellent service as always. Food is always delicious. Usually quiet except when busy with big parties, then it is very noisy.“

“✨ Five Stars! A Lomo Saltado to Remember

I had the most incredible dining experience at this Peruvian gem! The Lomo Saltado was absolutely out of this world perfectly seasoned, tender strips of beef, bursting with flavor, and served with just the right balance of crispy fries and fluffy rice. Every bite was a celebration of Peruvian tradition.

The service was just as impressive warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team here takes pride in both their food and their hospitality. From start to finish, everything was flawless. I’ll definitely be back this place is a treasure! 🇵🇪💛 shoutout to Guillermo and Laura !“

“El pan está muy rico y el menudo mucho más rico 😋 y son muy amables las señoras ofrecen un buen servicio 👍🏻“

“This place is super underrated! I was stopping through for a late night bite and received A DELIGHT!!!

I stopped through on my way home from San Diego. My pizza was made within 10 minutes of ordering. I ordered 2 short rib empanadas as well. Everything was so flavorful! I think this place should ALWAYS have a line! I hope that with this review, that changes.

They're open late (3 am) on the weekend which, again, is amazing!“

“Están muy buenos los tacos y el servicio muy bueno“

“Good service and good food“

“We've tried a lot of sushi spots in the Downey area and this one has proved to be a consist favorite. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is always delicious. We're working our way through the whole menu and we've yet to find a roll we didn't love. Wonderful!“

“My husband and I were struggling to find a dinner option last night and we landed on trying this place for the first time. I'm pleasantly surprised and we'll definitely be coming back! We did pickup, but the restaurant is very clean and cute. The staff was super friendly on the phone and at the counter. We both ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp. I couldn't help myself and finished the whole plate, which could have easily been two servings. Definitely a new favorite and a great quick dinner or lunch option.“

“Muy rica comida, el lugar es muy limpio y los precios son razonables.“

A special shoutout to our waitress Elie , she was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Her excellent service truly enhanced our visit. Highly recommend!“
