50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Escondido

“This is super convenient. Simply order online, and they bring the order to your car. I don't believe they have any indoor or outdoor seating. Only to go. But for takeaway, it's perfect.
I had the Ceasar Chikin wrap. It was tasty.“

“I have been enjoying a quarter pounder for ages with a HI C orange, still delicious and fries were amazing. Soo good

Kid-friendliness: I don't have kids but they do have games inside for kids

Parking: They have a lot of parking for pickup, which to me it seems they have too many but since I don't know if they really get many at a time. I guess I shouldn't say. The reason I mention is because it doesn't leave much for the rest of us

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty sure they have ramp“

The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“THE HOUSE WAS ROCKIN' ! Whenever we are in Escondido this is the ONLY PLACE WE EAT ! My wife and I were heading a very long way to Wildomar on Monday to visit my wife's Mom & Dad in an assisted living facility. But first we stopped by here for a nice lunch. It was a bit before midday when we stepped inside the front entrance to be greeted warmly by the lovely owner / founder Jenny who we have known for many years. Jenny herself took our order for 1 x Capicola & Provolone Sub Sandwich plus 1 x Gangster Reuben Pastrami Sub Sandwich. The place was ABSOLUTELY ROCKIN' on Memorial Day and there were stacks of loyal customers lined up waiting to place their lunch order. Our fantastic looking sub sandwiches were hand delivered to our table...and believe me it doesn't get any better ! Our delicious sub sandwiches hit it clean outa the ball park ! As I said to lovely Jenny....YOU ARE A LEGEND !“

What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“Seniors portion is just right. Nice servers & good food .“

“Went there for dinner on Saturday night. Have plenty of parking looks like a ghost town, food didn’t take that long but waiter just took the order and drop off the food and disappeared, should have checked the water and after drop off the food do we need anything, or how is the food? Food was better than the service, except the egg roll not sure they buy it or make it need the check on the salt. We both felt little too salty.“

“Hello beautiful, I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment 2 Thanks a lot, I feel honored and blessed to have an amazing fan like you. Kindly name 3 of my songs you love so much...“

“Everything from the food to the staff was amazing. The pepperoni pizza, “El Pepe,” was a top quality pizzeria style. Next time we are in the area we will most definitely stop by. There is a little arcade room to keep the kids entertained while us parents enjoy sports on tv with a pitcher of beer.“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“Trying to contact the owner. Owner, when will you be at the restaurant?? Thank you. Sadly the on floor manager, Nick, now claiming to be the owner in today's conversation, will not honor a gift card our friend bought for us a few months back. Nick is very agressive, harsh, and sadly not a good face for this amazing restaurant. Our family has been eatting here for 3 generations ever since they opened. We have watched several sets of family member take over operating this family business, and have loved ever member prior. However, Nick is an unfortunate one. With a gift card receipt stating Nick's name, he denies selling a gift card to anyone but one person. Nick has unfortunately ruined our favorite family restaurant. If the real owner ever reads this, I hope we can work something out. My recommendation, eat somewhere else. Its not worth the gruff service and the potential to get screwed. :/“

“Known for their breakfast and burgers; I enjoy the zucchini, always taste so fresh. Love the breading on the zucchini which is not too heavy or thick. The chicken and avocado sandwich on sourdough was delicious. Great home style feel while offering a faster food option. Give them a try.“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“Always great food fast service and very friendly“

“First time there food was delicious“

“Awesome spot for good food. The portions are big, the food is tasty, and the people are really friendly. What more could you want from a great local spot for quick, delicious food. This is a pic of the lamb gyro. It’s massive. Fork for reference. The meat was cooked and cut perfectly, veggies are fresh, everything was fantastic.“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“After visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, we decided to try Ali Baba Mediterranean Cuisine of Escondido. My wife saw a recommendation post and we were eager to check it out.

When we arrived, we asked our server which family meal would be good for 3 adults and 2 kids, as we didn't want any leftovers. She suggested the meal for 2-3 people, and it turned out to be perfect.

Our kids loved it and kept saying so tasty, making it the best Mediterranean restaurant we've tried. We asked the server if there are any other locations in other cities, and she said no. Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!“

“I bought 1 gyro, $7.99, a combination plate, $14.99, which comes packed with rice, salad, gyro meat and a kabob, and 1 pita bread, $.99. The price was more than fair for the amount of food we got. The food tasted fantastic, besides the fact that it fed my wife, and four daughters. They all raved about it. If you appreciate Mediterranean food, this place is great!“

“This was an excellent find. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. The service was quick and friendly. My group of 3 was very comfortable at our table. We all would happily come again and recommend it to others. I particularly enjoyed my drunken noodles.“

“Best chicken soup!! All the daily specials are great! Flavorful food at a reasonable price“

“Soy. Un cliente. Q. Frecuenta. Mucho. Este. Restaurante selos. Recomiendo muy. Deliciosa su comida Grasias. Por todo.“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“

“We only had burritos, but holy cow! This is a gem. We live in L.A., and I honestly might drive down here for lunch again. This is the kind of business that should be patronized during these times, so that it survives to provide REALLY GOOD FOOD.“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“Chicken Plus will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember when my dad used to take me here back in elementary school — it was our go-to spot for a delicious meal and some quality time together. Every visit was a treat, and even now, all these years later, I keep coming back.

The food is just as incredible as I remember — always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. But what really sets Chicken Plus apart is the heart behind it. Syd, the owner, is truly one of a kind. Every time I walk through the doors, I look forward to seeing him. He greets everyone like family and makes you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are equally amazing, but Chicken Plus nails it every time.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Thank you, Syd, for all the memories and for continuing to make Chicken Plus the special place it is!“

“Wonderful food and great service.“

“I have never tried Acai bowl -- until this restaurant!

Let me tell you, I was incredibly surprised by the Superfood Bowl #1. (It has Acai, Coconut Sorbet, Spirulina Chia Pudding, Vanilla Almond Granola, Strawberry, Banana, Blueberry, Mango, Pumpkin Seeds, Raisins, Sunflower Seeds, Coconut, Sunflower Butter, Cinnamon and Cacao Powders). It was so delicious and the combination of all of the ingredients mixed extremely well.

The Detox Juice is something else entirely. Loved it.

I will be back! Thank you.“

“I came in one morning they were very busy full area plenty of customers I walked in through the front door the staff greeted me immediately asked me if I would be dining and I said no just needed to order a breakfast sandwich for my fiance the wait was not long the food was fresh I would recommend coming here for breakfast“

My family and I have gone back 4x and we dont intend on stopping.
Customers for life.

“Absolutely Amazing! I've been a 3GO customer for many years and they have always had the best Sushi in Escondido and great prices too! During the pandemic I started ordering their food for delivery and they do an excellent job of packing too! 10/10 don't bother going anywhere else.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing—they’ve got a little bit of everything, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I’ve been working in Escondido for the past couple of weeks, and I have to give a big shoutout to Maria. She’s been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always provides outstanding service. Her professionalism and great attitude have truly made my time here even better. Highly recommend!“

“Just visited and was immediately impressed with quality beverage selections and food offerings. The owner actually touched base and was very friendly. I will be back to try the food. Sorry that the market/ pizza place next door gets confused with this place. The 5 star reviews of the other place actually had photos of the interior I just saw in person...If you are any where in the area you should definitely give them a try.“

“I haven't been here in a while and was craving a beets, carrots, pineapple.and spinach juice. I ordered a large cup and requested no ice. I got my drink its it was just below half way with actual juice and the rest was foam, you can't drink the foam. I was about to get charged around $12 for a half empty cup of juice. I expressed my concern with the cashier and I asked her if she would charge me for the medium which is about $8. She was hesitant but eventually agreed to it. I feel like they fill the entire cup with ice and only top it off with a small amount of juice which is a rip off/scam.“

“First time trying this fantastic pizza place. I was very excited to try the chicken Tikka pizza it was very tasty and flavorful. I was greeted right away, It's family owned. Also their mango lassi was very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place“

“If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Escondido with a laid-back vibe and great service, Kettle Coffee and Tea is the place to be. The atmosphere is super casual, making it perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and quick, which is always a plus. Their sandwiches are delicious! I had a BLT that they customized for me by adding sprouts, spinach, and cheese. I even added extra bacon—because, really, who doesn’t love more bacon? The sandwiches are always on point here. I did have a funny little mix-up during my visit. I went to the counter to check on my regular drip coffee with three shots of espresso (I love my coffee strong!) and the lady said, “Here’s your BLT!” Confused, I replied, “I’m already eating one but it wasn’t the one I had ordered but that’s ok because I was hungry.” Turns out they printed my ticket twice. I offered to pay for the extra sandwich, but they insisted it was on the house. I ended up giving the extra BLT to one of our local homeless residents, which felt good. Overall, Kettle Coffee and Tea is a fantastic spot with yummy food and a welcoming staff. Definitely recommend!“

“our server Annie was so nice and the ranch is homemade and delicious. I got my free birthday burger one of the finest burgers on the menu. and I highly recommended the Rancho parkway Red Robin. food was delicious everything was good temperature freshly served quick and made to order delicious. 😊“

“Daisy and the team of workers are awesome, Great service and very friendly staff. Thank you for providing authentic food. They provide amazing food from their culture and we appreciate the effort this team provides! Thank you so very much Robert & Teresa 🙏🏾“

“Excellent customer service from Chloe and her teammate on Sunday for lunch. We had a party of 20 and they were friendly, professional and quick to accommodate. The food was good and plentiful. The servers made it an exceptional experience. Thank you!“

“Just try it! You won't be disappointed...“

“Server was polite and even directed me to sit closer to the a/c (was a hot day). Food came out super quick. Pricing was fair. I would’ve wanted the eggrolls to be a bit more crispy but that’s just being nitpicky. I got a small #1 and I thought portions were very generous.“
