50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Freedom

“Muy rico la piña rellena deliciosas.“

“Always great friendly serve and the best food. I drive from Morgan Hill to eat here. It's THAT good!!“

“A friend recommended this place for "the best burritos" and they were SO right! We will drive from Monterey just for Ranch Milk's burritos. The shrimp burrito is my favorite, I've never tasted anything like it. Their carne asada burrito is also amazing. We also came here to watch the World Cup, they have a few TVs and they also sell alcohol.

Parking: Parking lot is easy to access and leave. There are plenty of spots and we've never had a problem finding parking“

“Though I do not live in California anymore, I just wanted to review this place because I used to come here for years with my parents. Cindy is one of the most hospitable people I have ever met in the restaurant industry. The food is excellent, well cooked and served rather quickly. The waiters are kind and we went so often that they memorized our orders LOL. I love to get Chinese and because of this, I have eaten at many places. Happy Garden has always and will always be my favorite. I hope to one day go back there and see them again!“

“La comida muy rica el personal muy amable muy buena música 🎶 buen ambiente 💯 Recomendado“

“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

“Churchills is amazing.“

“I went to kill some time and walked around and found this place, the people were very nice and all I got was an iced coffee but it was great, now that I know that this place is here I'm probably going to get some lunch and try out their food!“

“I had the lunch special, which includes appetizer, salad and entree. The Panag curry is spicy and delicious. The satay chicken is very flavorful and fresh. All for $14.95. Very pleasant and clean dining room. They do serve wine and beer, including Thai and Japanese beers.“

“I had an amazing birthday here. The staff are so friendly and right there when you need them. The food….omg the food. I had lamb shank with mashed potatoes and sautéd veggies. Everything was cooked to perfection! I live 4 hours away. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Josh was a great host. The Fish House Bar and Grill offers a warm and romantic ambiance. My wife and I were very pleased with the delicious food. Our first time at The Fish House but definitely not the last! You can view our “Food Coma - The Fish House Bar and Grill Watsonville, CA - Jon and Kristel Coma” episode on YouTube.“

“Dinner, including soup, salad, and sushi, was delicious.“

“the best place for a full meal. all home made . I follow them from Salinas to Watsonville. to me they are the best.“

“I will be honest, I have never eaten here due to food allergies so this review is from my husband and kids. Everything they come here, they talk about how amazing it is. They love the pizza and they love how quick it is. Good location with easy parking. Very quick service. Just make sure to bring cash!“

“Super fresh creative Chinese food that is reasonably priced. Best in the area. Highly recommend“

“Every time I go, spot in with the food. This is what I look for in a restaurant. Think out of the box menu with consistency every time I go with every item I order. I keep working down the menu to try everything. They obviously make their own sauce, the ranch, super bomb diggity. Fries, onion rings, salad all fresh and crisp. Mac and Gouda cheese bites, Yes! Chop cheese, you gotta have one of these! Mushroom cap “burger “ something you will crave, Parish pie, goodness wrapped up in one dish. Salmon fish & chips, fantastic. And I forgot to mention beer, beer, beer, they also have beer and mixed drinks. There is always specials on the screens. Last time I noticed something about tenderloin and bacon …… can’t wait to go back and find out!“

“muy rico todo los tamales son de primera Calidad y los tacos mas ricos que he comido gracias por su dedication a su labor.“

“Been enjoying Manuels since 1966. Love the red snapper, the salad, flautas with guacamole...great food always! Hopefully coming to dinner tonight! ♥️“

“This is MY go-to pizzeria. I like Pizza My Heart & I like Mountain Mike's & I like the other chains, but this one is good all the time, & it's right here in Aptos & it's super good. I like it very much. It's MY favorite.“

“was delicious and lots of choices on the menu. service was great.“

“Honestly, this is one of the best BBQ places in the Bay Area. Their meats definitely have that WOW factor! I love how welcoming the staff is here. It feels like they genuinely want you to feel comfortable and enjoy some great BBQ. We’ve ordered takeout and dined in many times, and I’ve always appreciated the consistency of the food. The quality of the meat is top-notch, with a perfect smoky flavor and tenderness. Their brisket is the best — a great balance of lean and fatty cuts, crispy edges, and juicy, flavorful meat that falls apart beautifully. The tri-tip is also moist and cooked to perfection, though you can definitely notice the difference in tenderness between the two cuts of beef. The ribs are meaty, perfectly cooked, and have a wonderful smoky flavor. They shouldn't fall off the bone on their own, but they come off easily — exactly how ribs should be. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The pulled BBQ pork melts in your mouth, incredibly moist and perfectly smoked. One thing to note: items tend to run out early, so it’s a good idea to call or order ahead!“

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“I ordered the vegan mendocino. You can't order it by the slice, you have to pay for the whole pie. It only took about 10-15 minutes for them to make. Although, it was kinda pricey about $30 for a 12". It was super garlicky and delicious, the cheese had a nice flavor and texture, but I felt like it needed just a tad bit of salt. I really enjoyed the fresh tomato sauce and fresh basil on top. Anyway, I'm super stoked that there's vegan pizza available near my home. There's 2 more vegan pizzas, so I'll be back to try those too. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-09“

“Love the Atmosphere, food was delicious.“

“We’ve always loved Akira, but recently their chefs have been taking their sushi game to a whole new level. Very delicious with big portions of food & we have yet to have a roll that we didn’t like. Highly recommend!“

“We order many pizza's every year for our daughter's birthday parties we have at the park down the street. This place is amazing and the service is always awesome! I also enjoy supporting a local business!“

“First time there … loved the vibe will be back“

“Salt of the Earth brewery that’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention while driving the beautiful outskirts of Watsonville. Located in a large wooden barn next to a lumber company, Corralitos Brewing has a small town feel, where locals come after clocking out from work and enjoying tasty beer while watching the sunset and breathing clean air. The outdoor patio area is reminiscent of a saloon, while the indoor avoids the cliched Industrial interiors of many breweries today, instead relying on the log cabin / barn motif with wooden decor and small town charm.The staff is friendly, conversational, and attentive. The restrooms are clean. There’s the obligatory swag and to go beer for sale. They even offer crowler fills, but I would suggest asking for pricing before simply ordering a large can for home. I ordered two and it cost me $50 with a reasonable tip. That’s the only negative I can really complain about, but I have to take responsibility for it because I didn’t inquire whatsoever.Parking is limited, but when the lot is full, the overflow simply park on the on the shoulder of the adjacent field.Some would say Corralitos Brewing Company is off the beaten path, and they would be correct. It’s not right off the highway or in a shopping center downtown. But it’s worth the extra ten minutes and the countryside is a nice reprieve from downtown Watsonville.“

“Had a great time at Martin Ranch Winery. Dan gave us a Barrel Room tasting and educational experience. Cindy and Steve were also very friendly and kind.

Thank you for having us at your beautiful winery and sharing your wonderful wine!“

“I recently visited this Indian restaurant for their buffet service, and it was truly a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious — rich in flavor, fresh, and with a great variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and felt like true home-style Indian cooking.

The ambience was clean, calm, and welcoming. Tables were well-maintained, and the whole place had a cozy yet classy feel, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends.

One thing that really stood out was the visible family involvement in the restaurant. that warmth shows in the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about the guests’ experience.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine in a clean, family-friendly setting. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We have been coming here for many years. The carnitas are always on point and delicious. We usually get an order of carnitas and buche to make tacos at home. Recently, we decided to try their tacos and they are pretty good. There was nowhere to sit inside. Service was good. Cash only!!“

“It's a quintessential breakfast/lunch experience. The dishes are consistent and fresh with good portions .And the coffee is just fine. Service was attentive and friendly. I miss real cream pitchers for my coffee on the table tho. Times are changing.“

“Sooo disappointed! Highly recommended! We purchased to go an extra large combination When we got home and opened the box: Totally dry and overcooked I would have liked to send them a message - rather than - Facebook. Not an option. Lynne“

“Catz Pawz has been around for a very long time. Small place across the Watsonville High School on the corner of Beach St and Lincoln St. As a high school student I was a frequent customer it's almost like In n Out and you get personal friendly service and you can see up close and personal as they handle your food. If your hungry, crave a double cheese burger with fries, a drink and even a chimichanga all for 8 dollars, Catz Pawz is a must visit. They are open during regular School Hours. A visit here will be one of the best choices you will make. From the sauce they make, to the delicious fries to the friendly service, Catz Pawz is a must stop. You will Enjoy it.“

“I love this place. I have been coming here for years. They have great prices, and their food is tasty and consistent. The young ladies that serve are always friendly. Lunch specials are an amazing deal. They have umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, and it makes a unique, cool atmosphere“

“This restaurant deserves all the business. The Pad Thai is my favorite, it’s the best I’ve had in the area. The Tom kha soup is deliciously creamy and tangy. I can taste the heat of ginger in the ginger tea. George Ow curry is another great dish. The place is cozy and full of interesting decorations. The staff is kind and is always checking on water refills etc. Never have been disappointed, always leave happy. Wonderful place.“

“I visited this winery recently. I was going to do some wine tasting but opted for a glass of their res blend "Devotion" suggested by a very nice and helpful server. We toured the winery. Quite large area for events. Was also picturesque. Wine was also delicious. I love red blends so I was delighted. My friend loved one of their Pinot Noirs. Very reasonably priced. Will be back.“

“No frill taco fast food
But the taste just wow
Ordered al pastor taco super flavorful and juicy
The other is flautas? Fried taco
Super yummy with white , guacamole and green salsa
The pic don't do justice though.....“

“I stopped by La Buena Taqueria and was not disappointed! I got the al pastor torta, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of crunch from the bread. The service was great, and the chips and salsa are a must—fresh, flavorful, and addictive!

I knew this place was going to be good as soon as I walked in and heard Maná playing. 🎶 Next time, I’ll definitely be trying the tacos!

If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food, this spot is a winner. 🌮🔥“

“Tried for the first time and we’re hooked!! Can’t wait to have again .. yummy 😋“

“This would be a five star review if La Misma were not operating in the old location of La Fuente Taqueria. Everything at La Misma is just fine but La Fuente was one of the highlights of visiting Watsonville for me. The food at La Misma is nothing special and my nostalgia is still hungry.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good tasty lunch box the food the only thing that the staff lacks is speed because it takes a long time for an order or to solve the distribution of food I recommend it (Original) Muy buena lonchera sabrosa la comida lo único que le falta al personal es rapidez porque se tardan mucho para un pedido o resolver la distribución de comida lo recomiendo“

“i've been meaning to try this place for awhile now and i'm glad i did. i got a slice of pepperoni and a can of soda for $5.15! and the pizza was pretty good. the guys behind the counter were polite and the place was clean. i will be back. thanks “

“This Taqueria has the best sopes and at an affordable price. You will always find this place full of people. Food is fresh and the Chile's rellenos also tacos , nachos , tortas on the weekends they have birria and menudo, I you're in Watsonville come to this place, you will enjoy your food without hurting your wallet.“

“Service was wonderful, food was excellent. Special deal if it’s your birthday! Don’t worry, they don’t sing to you😂“

“If you have the pleasure of meeting Kevin and his family you’re in for a treat. Best Tri Tip in town. Good music Amazing wine. Highly recommend“

“I've been eating pizza for decades, all over the country, I know a good pie when I eat one. This place is legit. The crust is just the right crisp, the slice holds shape and the toppings stay where you want them. These factors add up to a delicious and satisfying bite for bite experience. The combination pizza is oof the charts. The online ordering process is streamlined and intuitive. The pizzas are always ready when they say they are and the staff take pride in their cooking. Order up, my friend. Choose your toppings wisely and walk away a winner.“

“The service was great. The food is good and portions are large. Moderate pricing, but dog friendly!“

“Located in the Mount Madonna Center, Anjaneya Café offers a relaxing spot to enjoy tea, coffee, samosas, and other snacks. Surrounded by picturesque views, it’s a great place to unwind and soak in the peaceful ambiance. Perfect for a quick bite or a warm drink in a serene setting.“
