50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Escondido

“What to say...I loooove this place!!! The Ramen is amazing! The soup/broth is a sensory overload. The noodles are perfect never soggy! You can order a side of 'heat' to spice it up if you want! All the servers know what's good if it's your first time and what I love is consistency, it's good everytime! It's cute inside bright and fresh. Try it out! It's a place I will return to on a regular!!!“

“Great food and good people for our community.“

“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!“

“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 stopped in before the Escondido Renaissance Faire and not only loved the food and cattitude, but also the star treatment we received. We got 2 tacos, elote, and guac and cannot recommend stopping here enough !

PS lots of vegan options !!“

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.

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Went to Brigantine with my stunning girlfriend and had an amazing experience. We were seated right away at a comfortable booth, and the atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful. We started with the crab fondue appetizer which was huge and absolutely delicious. For dinner, we ordered the special sea bass and the bacon wrapped shrimp and crab. Both dishes were outstanding and easily a 10 out of 10. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. Overall, an incredible meal and experience. Highly recommend.“

“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!

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

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

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

“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.“

“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...“

“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. 🍀🍻💚“

“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.“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“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!“

“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. :/“

“First time there food was delicious“

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

“Great sandwich’s Great Bread! The roast beef with dressing and cheese! The best! Everything is good!“

“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!!! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
Been going here for years, since highschool on a bike up until now living in Mira mesa; I still go here for the service and the absolutely crazy big portions you get for how little you pay!

Owner remembers me to this day and food is just as good as it was years ago. Wontons are always a must cuz they’re super light and crispy!! Drinks are p big too“

“The Escondido location it’s my favorite AB in the area. They are friendly,the food tastes good. All server always extremely polite, different from other locations. I’m rather drive 30 minutes to this location then going to the one near where I live.“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“I hadn't been here since the ownership changed. I was happy to see my favorite server was still there. Had a delicious burger - very fresh. Service was great, as it always has been. All the staff were friendly. Prices still very reasonable.“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“This is a fantastic place to eat, lots of choice of homemade food. We enjoyed every meal we ate (3 days), staff are fantastic and very welcoming, it was very quiet when we visited but that is because it was early evening. Dont put off by the outside and how quiet it is!“

“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“

“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.“

“Hot And Fresh And SUPER Tasty 💯“

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

“I only picked up for this first visit, so I didn't get the full in-restaurant experience (which I plan to do in the future).

But basically; the staff was nice, the restaurant seemed clean and appropriately dark (I love the ambience of most Round Table Pizza locations) and parking was easy. The entrance is a little weirdly tight when you first go in, but that's a minor issue.

The Pizza we got (stuffed crust 3-topping large) was good and basically as-expected from a Round Table, although maybe a hair undercooked, but not enough to be a problem (just enough to notice). At least compared to other RTP's I've been to.

Though the garlic parm twists were weirdly underwhelming. Usually these are a really nice soft bread with a good layering of the garlic and parm (almost like pesto on a pesto sandwich), but these had very little of the garlic butter/sauce and parmesan AND was super dry and hard. I ended up only eating two of them and tossing the rest (my wife doesn't like garlic sides but also couldn't eat them because they were so hard).

So I won't be ordering sides from this location anymore. At least not for a while.“

“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!“

“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.“

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