50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Escondido

“Delicious and authentic ramen. But the wait was way tooo long… I didn’t read about the long wait in the reviews, so I think I should share my experience. I didn’t expect to go there and wait for an hour outside the ramen shop…. That plaza has no interesting shops to hang out, so it’s quite boring and cold in November. Btw it’s a Saturday night. We have only 2 people, but we waited 1 hour….
Hungry and Cold…TT

I wish they can adopt some waitlist system, so we can get on the waitlist before we drive there.“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“best chicken fried steak and gravy this side of El Paso“

“Great food and good people for our community.“

“Excellent tacos, and a plentiful number of vegetarian options, some of the most flavorful tacos I've had. Each taco is about 5$ and 2-3 is typically enough for one person.

Ample indoor and outdoor seating and quick service, very glad I found this place, and can't wait to go back.“

“So amazingly delicious. The ingredients in the Cuban all work so well together and the portion is enough for two hungry grown men to split. I’m assuming it’s that way for the whole menu. It’s a destination restaurant and worth the trip. Come out even if you don’t live in town!“

“All the food here is very fresh!
Rice is always also fresh and soft!
The proteins? I always do the combination (steak&chicken)and I order a side of the other type of protein thats chicken but i cant recall the name but it’s Amazing.
As far as Customer service, A1 , staff and management are all great here!
Been coming here for years and will continue to, THANK YOU to the excellent staff.
Thank you Amir for your help!“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“I used to frequent this place often when I worked in North County.

Their food was always on point and delicious. From their soups to sandwiches.

The place was clean and the staff were always friendly and welcoming.

It'a nice to see they are still in business and going strong.

If you are in the area be sure to drop by and give them a try.“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“We came in after a hard day loading and wanted A great meal they went ahead and made our food even thought it was closing time, they could have told us they were closed! 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!“

“Recently found this little place, and now have developed an addiction to their Panang curry. Best I’ve ever had. And the lunch specials are wonderful, both the soup and salad are good, as are the appetizers in them. Nice booth seating, a calm place with lovely people working there.“

“The gentleman that took care of our table was perfect. He asked about what we might be celebrating, we were here from WI and just visiting family. He brought us dessert and was just the greatest.
Oh yeah, the food was amazing, Beautifully prepared, Thank you to the Chef and kitchen crew!“

“Rancho Guejito Vineyard is a top-notch experience! I recently had the privilege of documenting a epic Wedding Day at Rancho Guejito Vineyard! Let me tell you—this place is nestled in a remote valley, surrounded by beautiful mountains, and the staff is truly ride-or-die!

Usually, I lean into the best parts of working at a venue, but here, the staff matches the energy of the heart-stopping ceremony site and outdoor reception area. This place rocks on every level—its beauty, the endless epic photo opportunities, and did I mention the staff?

The staff rocks! I worked with Nicole and she is amazing!

This venue is unmatched and delivers an unforgettable experience for Brides, a complete winning recipe! Coming from a San Diego native!

I love it here, and I’m always happy to refer this incredible venue and staff. They truly show up to the fullest!

“Fresh sushi. I loved the fish selection. If you want the freshest fish, this is a go to place.“

“Best pick and point location in Escondido!! Omg my husband and I love to buy food here… Or you can take your order to go and munch at home, like all day long, literally. We like to eat some of our food here sometimes , just to be out and about, it has super friendly staff and they’re just so darn sweet that you want to eat some Of your food here with them.The serving size of the combos, make me think of me when I was a teenager… That was a while back, like 20 years or so. Point is, it’s nostalgic to visit this place. I recommend you give it a chance and go back in time, to your childhood.“

“Love their BBQ ??? It’s the best I’ve had ‼️ Reminds me of being back home I South Carolina and North Carolina…….“

“If you love French-style wines, especially Rhône varietals, you’ll definitely want to check this place out. The wines are amazing, and the whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming.

The setting is gorgeous, with a big patio full of tables and umbrellas. They often have live music, which makes it a fun spot to hang out. They sell great snacks like charcuterie packs, crackers, olives, almonds, and chocolate in the tasting room and there's usually a food vendor on-site.

One of the highlights of visiting is Stevie, one of the wine pourers. She’s super friendly, down to earth, and really knows her stuff when it comes to their wines. She makes the tasting experience fun and approachable, even if you’re not a wine expert.

The owners, Lynn and Mark, are also incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they love sharing their beautiful property with others. It’s dog-friendly, too! You’ll often see their own dogs wandering around, and they even have horses and pigs.

Domaine Artefact is a great place to relax, sip some fantastic wine, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I highly recommended it and look forward to going back again and again.“

“Belle Marie wines are delicious and for our palate some of the best wines ever. Jeff and Scott do a great job as vinters behind the scene and out in front as folks come in to taste. We've had wines from here for over 20 years and it is ALWAYS GOOD!“

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

“First time eating here. We stopped by the area to supercharging station and was getting hungry. Found this restaurant and did not regret. Generous portion, great food and friendly service. There was a wait because it was super busy but worth it. Will be coming back again“

“Love there tacos. They are delicious 😋. They have a big variety“

“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.“

“Just tried this place and oh my, is it ever delicious homemade fresh food!
We had both Chicken with green sauce and Beef with red, and both we so tasty!!! We will definitely be back!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is an amazing winery. Stumbled upon this gem after spending the day at the Safari Zoo Park. Wonderful wines (didn’t taste a bad one and hard to choose a favorite) and ambiance. Loved it so much that we became members of the Thirsty Kettle Club and shipped 6 fabulous bottles home. We spent some time talking w the owner, Jeannine…so personable and a true class act. Told us of the story of how they came about, what an incredible family story. To Mike the winemaker: great job!! Your bottles are fabulous!!! ❤️“

“Delicious and great price. Owner is really nice!“

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

“Cute family restaurant. A little Americano variety of food. Your old fashioned restaurant. Not your uppity modern hipster kinda place. Real food for real people.?

Parking: Restaurants off the beaten path but easy enough to find.

Kid-friendliness: Well priced“

“This is my FAVORITE Mexican food in all of North County. The food is AMAZING, horchata is amazing, the employees are really kind and I appreciate that they are following COVID guidelines not letting anyone inside...food is either ordered to go or there are a few tables outside you can sit at. Definitely recommend ❤️“

“Everything I've ordered from Kinaly has been outstanding in the flavor department. I've been patronizing them for, oh, maybe 4 years now? Honestly I've only tried a fraction of the menu - I've had maybe 1/3 of the starters and have mostly eaten the noodle dishes. The pad thai and pad see ewe are excellent! And they come out of the kitchen piping hot - hot enough, in fact, to stay warm for the 30 minutes it takes to get back to Valley Center.

Edit: I thought portions had gotten smaller, but I think it was just a fluke a couple of times in a row. Since those purchases, the portions are back to what they've always been! Enjoy a hearty meal.

The service is always friendly and fast! I've always gotten take-out so I can't really speak to the atmosphere, but the restaurant is clean and pretty chill, so I have no complaints.

Bottom line - if you're looking for some solid, reasonably-priced thai food, you can't go wrong with Kinaly. Do it, you won't be disappointed!“

“Was very impressed by the food!! The service by our waitress Sara was amazing. She was very attentive and brought out a dog bowl and treats for my old dog, Buddy.

I has the ribs, wings, and the fish. Both the soups of the days and the dressings for the salad was house made and absolutely delicious ? ? ?

The owner/manager was very hospitable, joking around and asking if there was anything he could do to make pur visit better. As this was my first time, I cannot tell you have much I loved this place!! Cannot wait to come back and bring more people to this wonderful establishment. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“Great beer, fun people, they have comedians, live music, drone events, and are dog friendly. A must stop for your beer drinking needs!“

“Staff was great, food was excellent, loved the art work.“

“My favorite pub since 2010 or so. Always a great time. Hoping to go more often and also for takeout since they are one of the best restaurants in town as well. 🍀🍻💚“

“We enjoy the friendly, fun atmosphere of Hernandez Hideaway. The Mexican food is excellent, service quick and friendly, and the drinks powerful. We have a great time each time we go.“

“I had high hopes for Huckleberry’s—this was our first time visiting, and my husband and I love exploring new breakfast spots. Breakfast is one of our favorite meals of the day, so we were excited to try it out.

The experience started off well. Our waiter was friendly and attentive at first, but unfortunately, he didn’t check on us again until we had to flag him down for drink refills. That lack of follow-up really affected our overall impression.

When the food arrived, it didn’t come out all together. My husband and I got our plates first, but his potatoes were cold and his English muffin wasn’t toasted at all. My son’s meal—chicken tenders and fries—arrived much later than ours.

On the bright side, I really enjoyed my meal. I had the Bananas Foster with scrambled eggs and fried green tomatoes—everything was absolutely delicious. But it was disappointing to see my husband, who was looking forward to the meal, not enjoy his due to cold food and poor preparation.

Overall, while there were a few highlights, the inconsistent service and food quality—especially the cold plate—make it unlikely that we’ll return. There’s just no excuse for food coming out cold.“

“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!“

“Really beautiful wines and a gorgeous view. We loved everything poured, reds and whites.
The winery is located up a relatively bumpy road past a sign reading "dead end, private road". You're going the right way with a great reward at the top!“

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

“great owners!! great food!for!! love the place“

“This place was a 10 upon walking in. Super Friendly and welcoming staff and great lunch specials. Portion sizes are opulent and food quality is superb. I happened upon this place, and will be a frequent patron. I highly recommend the Caterpillar roll.“

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

“Great breakfast place in Escondido. Love the setting of the restaurant, which makes you feel at home and outside patio is great also, except some flies..lol. The breakfast menu had so many great items. The lobster omelet i had was one of the best omelets I have eaten in a while. The staff are very friendly and that seems to make all the customers friendly also. Thank you. I really enjoyed your food and your service. Will definitely be back whenever I have a chance to visit Escondido, and next time, I will try your lunch menus.“

“Hey, hey the pollo asado burrito with potaoes. Oh boy - fat and delicious. But BEST OF ALL is the green salsa - my, my. They gotta extra large container for sodas but i get that green salsa in that container. Oh boy. I keep a container in my fridge at all times. I go in there, ask for salsa only she automatically gets me the big container. My daughter lives in NC. i have to freeze at least 5 burritos to take to her on the plane. Its embarrassing, I tellya. If i don't my stay there is a nightmare. Its a good spot.“

“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. 😊“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“
