50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lotus

“Community love - live music - local owners that bring it on!“

“Beautiful, historic building, incredible food - creative dishes full of flavor, outstanding, friendly service from Kelsey. We slept on this place for so long, drove past many times figuring it'd be just be ok bar fare. Never been so happy to be wrong.“

“Excellent Thai food. Very good service!“

“Absolutely delicious sandwiches! We love this hidden gem on Placerville Main Street!“

“They have the best quality beef, cooked to perfection & great service!“

“Lots of great Mexican restaurants around but if you want a nice sit down and chat atmosphere then this is the place in Diamond Springs. We've been here several times and we're new to the area. Never been disappointed.
Update: Usually have the chimichanga and love it, tried the super nachos and am happy to have another tasty dish on my list. Next time, bacon avocado burger.“

“I’ve been looking for a good Italian restaurant since I’ve been a little homesick, and I finally found it! Can’t say enough about the food here, I was so impressed! The portions are perfect, I left feeling so full and had to get a cannoli to go! We will definitely be back! I can’t wait for my mom to visit so I can take her here! 10/10“

“Favorite pizza spot in El Dorado County - the quality is unmatched and perfectly tasty. The informal atmosphere has a cool vibe with the look of a rustic industrial space but uncluttered and clean like you expect at a sit down restaurant. The beers are dangerously delicious, glug glug. The sweet and knowledgeable staff is helpful but not hovering. I could easily go once a week but I love it being kinda special too.“

“My family has been eating there for years. We like everything but our tradition is chili cheese fries. whenever any of the family come to town, we go to ShoeStrings!“

“It was great! Loved the food coming back soon!!!!“

“I stopped for lunch today and my burrito was promptly served, and was one of the best tasting that I've had in awhile. I also appreciated that the salsa was super fresh, and I noticed that the whole restaurant was very clean. I'll be sure to remember this place, when I'm working in the area.“

“Incredible pizza! We’ll definitely be back. So fresh and well made. Reminds me of NY“

“Our first time at Yuki and I was honestly impressed. We came in 45min before closing for a last minute dinner. Instead of driving down the hill to the bigger name sushi restaurant we thought we would give Yuki a try and the staff greeted us with open arms. The sushi was tasty, the prices were great, the waitress was friendly and we will be coming back. Hopefully a lot earlier than right before they close.“

“A really great little meal spot in downtown Placerville. I stopped by here on the way back from South Lake Tahoe and I’m so glad I did. I got the Italian Pasty (which was basically a calzone with flaky pie crust instead) and it was great. Lots of good pie choices and a nice if tiny dining area with cozy decor. Would stop by again!“

“We had an amazing experience at Golden Dragon! The food was absolutely delicious — the Mongolian beef was excellent, the honey walnut shrimp was fabulous, and the garlic string beans (which I normally don’t even like) were a hit with everyone else. The orange chicken was great, the veggie chow fun was awesome, and the egg drop soup was to die for. Highly recommend this place — everything we tried was full of flavor and cooked perfectly!“

“This winery is one of the best! We visited for a wine tasting and the gentleman was so informative about the wines and how they are harvested, we couldn’t get enough of his knowledge! The wines, all six, that we selected on our own were excellent! We will probably join the club when we get home! Also, there is a picnic area that you can purchase a charcuterie board or cheese and crackers, spreads and dips to sit down and enjoy with your bottle of wine! It’s fantastic!“

“Came here for a late lunch. Delighted to find a variety of dumpling flavors/fillings as well as different ways of cooking (boiled, pan-fried/pot sticker, and deep-fried). Got an order of pork and veggies boiled and an order of shrimp and chicken pan-fried (order = 10 pieces). Dumplings are handmade (they were making some when we entered) and have the typical thick wrap - but not too thick and not dense. Typical sauce and hot sauce are available, as well as soy sauce. Both were delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in the area. Looking forward to trying other menu items.“

“the food is amazing the ribs are so good. great service!“

“Friendly service and beautiful ambiance combined with delish food …“

“Great ambiance, friendly staff and locals. Spent the evening chatting, eating and drinking. Wonderful time.“

“my wife & I when there after dark it was little chilly outside side they ask if we like to sit outside or inside my wife said we like to sit inside after 5 minutes waiting for a table the waitress came got us set us a table that sets 6 people the only one available at that time after about 5 minutes setting the waitress though was coming over with menus or wanted to drink but she us to get back up go set back in the waiting area because she in cases alot people came in to use that table this was first time we were ever in there our friends was a great place to eat with great food so we left pissoff wrong way to run a business plus the manger heard the whole thing didn't do everything to help us out“

“This place absolutely gets a thumbs up from me. The ingredients were of great quality, the food was prepared excellently, and the staff were as friendly as could be. If you're looking for crispy crust on a pizza that isn't burnt, this is the place to go!

My one and only complaint is that the atmosphere of the restaurant was a little bit run-down. Everything was serviceable, but just looked worn out. Unlike other places I've eaten, however, I genuinely do not feel like this issue is born out of a lack of care on the Staffs' side. They seem to really care about the location, and do the best with what they've got.

They deserve your support! Worth every penny.“

“Today was the first time my son and I tried out your bbq. Amazing flavor and great sauce. Best baby back’s I’ve ever had. Keep it up 👍🏼“

“Everything!! Great atmosphere. Fabulous food and its presentation. Staff is eager to please and the opportunity for our band to perform on the patio was definitely a great feeling!“

“Best pretzel ever. The special chicken wrap was wonderful as well“

“We enjoyed our lunch today. Nice atmosphere and great service. If I had anything that I would say wasn’t my favorite it would be the beer cheese dip that came with our garlic bread( bread was great). I am Irish and I expected a nice creamy cheddar cheese with a beer influence. Unfortunately, it was so spicy that I couldn’t taste anything but the heat. Maybe they should offer a milder version along with the spicy. Kinda bummed because I wouldn’t order it again. Just an idea.“

“Great place to eat fantastic fish 😁“

“Best pizza ever. Staff is always helpful and very friendly.“

“Great local wine bar. All wines $9/glass or $4.50 a half glass. Scott carefully curates local and international wines that are good values. The selection changes regularly depending on what deals he can get. Scott is friendly and the place is casual and comfortable.“

“friendly ownership and great food! hope this business does well!“

“The staff always has a friendly face and the food is always good.“

“Max’s is amazing. Very straight forward menu, everything on it is amazing. The atmosphere is laid back and everyone working here rules. Got 2 burgers and 2 tacos and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. Awesome job max.“

“Very good. Service and food.“

“A welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home and special. Almost like you are family!“

“Paco's is fantastic! Absolutely phenomenal food and worth every penny! Much better than any other Mexican restaurant in El Dorado County!“

“Very authentic and delicious Mexican food. Lots of great dishes. My favorites are the Enchiladas and the Burritos Supreme. They use all quality white meat chicken and great quality beef in their meals. Prices are very reasonable, the meals are not skimpy and the owners are very friendly. The Burritos are so big I get 2 meals out of them. Not much inside seating but we usually get takeout. All the food is prepared in full view and ready very quickly. My only complaint is they used to only be closed on Sunday but now they're closed on Saturday too. I think they cater to local Latino workers as they are very busy at lunch time during the week. You know it's authentic and really good when a lot of Latinos eat there. We love this place. Just wish it were still open on Saturdays. Highly recommended.“

“Great hole in wall type of place. Worth a trip to get great Mexican fare. I had the tamale and rellenos combo. Twice what I can eat and best I’ve had in ages! Amazing home made salsas - order the chips and salsa. Check this place out. You’ll thank me
Update! Hired them for a HUGE Burrito fest for our jobsite. Catering was outstanding! Crew loved it. Highly recommend the red salsa. Amazing food!“

“The last visit was the end of 21. We decided to try again, and am I glad we did! Friendly lady answered the phone, took my to go order. We ordered egg rolls(which were really spring rolls), pot stickers that were stuffed full and very delicious, bbq pork chow mein(noodles were more like chow fun), honey walnut prawns that were absolutely delicious, sweet and sour pork absolutely delicious, and chicken with string beans which was absolutely amazing! I am sure we have enough leftovers for a few more meals!
We will go again, absolutely will be our go to place for amazing homemade chinese food“

“best coffee and farm fresh food“

“Food was awesome. Had to wait sometime to receive it and I was tired of the servers chit chat with each other not long after we arrived. “Literally this, literally that…” other than all the bored servers standing around it was well worth the stop. I would def stop in again. Food was awesome.“

“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with warm personal service. We had a nice view of the Main street in Placerville from our second floor overlook table. Great food, excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the strawberry Panna cotta with chocolate mousse for dessert. Great personal service from the owner!! Very friendly. Will be going back soon.!“

“We stop in for lunch at downtown Placerville once a week. This place was great. Cool retreat from the heat, very clean, friendly and professional wait staff, and the food was excellent.“

“Great food friendly staff“

“I drive by this place a ton of times. Kinda forgetting that Pizza Plus is tucked inside a small shopping complex on Missouri Flat Road, south of Highway 50, in Placerville. The pizzas are pretty darn good.

The pizzas are oven baked with fresh, quality fixings. Mmm. Simple, classic pizzas done right. The staff are the best. Friendly, helpful. They have a couple of dining areas. The place is kept super clean. No frills. Comfortable. It's locally owned by the same original owner for over 30 years. That's a testament right there.“

“i visited the Placerville store and was greeted kindly.the staff was helpful and kind.the sammies i got were stop on.best sandwich place in town!!“

“Showed up and they were closing early but they let me in to order. Extremely nice people and the food was outstanding. We had
2 egg rolls
Foil wrap chicken
Garlic Chicken
Sweet and sour pork
And chow mein.

We will absolutely be back.“

“It's not China Town in S.F. but it beats a lot of Chinese restaurants by far. Plus being the only one in the area, excellent service, and have not had anything that was not enjoyable, and I've purchased food from them probably more than a dozen times.“

“We always love eating here.“

“We catered Dickeys for our wedding. The food was delicious and plenty of it for everyone. They delivered and set everything up for us. Highly recommend!!! Lots of compliments from our guests. Great price too!“

“Very welcoming atmosphere. There's a bar for those who are inclined to relax and have a few drinks, separate from the dining area. Good selection on the menu. Entree was very flavorful, though the sides needed a little help. Service was great. Overall good experience“
