50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Moss Landing

“Excellent service, the ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. We were immediately greeted and tended to graciously. The water they served us tasted great. We had Fish & Chips and Tom Kha soup (special order). Be mindful they include tomatoes in the soup. I added my own flare to it by adding noodles and carrot decorations from my boyfriend's plate (as shown in the photo). Our food was served hot, had a rich flavor, and the tofu and mushrooms in the soup were firm and also had nice flavor. Very filling! The fish and chips were delicious and the salad had a sweet dressing that added a nice touch (I ended up sneaking a piece of fish off his plate too it was so good!). Thanks guys! We'll be back to try more menu items.“

“Came here on the recommendation of our hotel concierge as we were going to elkhorn slough. Great recommendation! Had the eggs benedict with skirt steak, and it was delicious. Buttermilk pancakes for my daughter were fantastic, and my wife had Dave's omelette and loved it. Overall I would come back here again and again, but do not live close enough, so it may just be today and again tomorrow. Then I'll have to wait for my next trip down highway 1.“

“We come here occasionally for a drink and some light food. The staff is always fantastic and the views are very nice. It’s still relatively unknown and usually quiet, kind of a local secret. All in all a great place for a drink and a bite“

“Lovely cozy little place with plenty of Steinbeck memorabilia to peruse through. The servers are all very kind (all volunteers!) My chicken wrap was yummy and the veggie broth and bread rolls were definitely homemade and delicious. It was definitely worth the lunch stop. Keep in mind they close at 2pm so arrive before 2.“

“Cozy spot for breakfast or lunch. We were on our way home from Pajaro Dunes and found this spot. All four of us had great meals. The burgers are massive, the eggs Benedict are great and the breakfast burrito has lots of options. There's bar, booth and outdoor seating.The atmosphere is classic diner with plenty of fun decor.The staff is super friendly and cheerful. There's plenty of parking.“

“Every aspect of going where was phenomenal. The food was great (I had the cheesesteak, my friend had the Kong burger). The food was great, it was twice as cheap as everything else in the area, and the service / environment was great.We couldn't manage to bring the food home because we ended up just gorging and eating it on our way back. I'd fully recommend the spot, and I'll try to hit it up on my way through from now on.“

“This place is small but the food and the customer service were phenomenal. Great first impression with everything. If we do go back to monterey , you best believe we will be back to Keiki's. We would have gone again but they are closed on weekends. At least the weekend we were there.“

“Ended my birthday night with an awesome meal at Patrias... my European friend swears by schnitzel so I gave that a try and I was not disappointed. The plate had nice portions and it was seasoned very well. I talked my wife into getting the lamb shank and WOW we both were impressed. It tasted so dang juicy, and really really hit the spot. The shank was huge, but the taste was on point so it was devoured. Lol. We ended dinner with a creme brule and a pear strudel and both were amazing. The atmosphere was very nice, and now this is gonna be a regular spot of ours from now on.“

“It was our first time, our friend said that if you visit Watsonville, you have to have CARNITAS!!! We ordered 1 lb CARNITAS $8.00, (no fatty pieces in our lb)+1 dozen tortillas(made in house?)+small salsa+1 Mexican Coke in a bottle = $17.00. Cash only. They have an ATM inside if you forget to bring cash, and yes it gives you a $3.25 surcharge. There is a line out the door and the workers only seem to speak Spanish. If you’re at a loss for Spanish , just hold up your fingers ??✌??? how many lbs you would like, and that is perfectly understood as well. There is nowhere to sit inside so just take your food home and enjoy. If we ever drive through Watsonville again, we will be stopping in.“

“The food is very delicious, recommended but the waitress gave us terrible service. I think the owner is busy seeing that all the time he was in the cell. I am a waiter when I go to my tables at least I give them a fake smile. But my waitress had a terrible character.“

“This is a very popular spot for the Hispanic crowd. Everything is made from scratch. The tortillas are fabulously fresh. This is the only place I have ever seen chili relleno burritos, oh so good! They only make 50 per day and they are usually gone by 1 pm. Long lines are common at lunch time, but with several servers behind the counter the line moves fast. You choose your items while you watch them being out together. There is no indoor seating.“

“My friends and I were headed to a different Chinese restaurant in Marina, but saw Ho-Wah and entered it. Boy were we glad! We were greeted, told what are the specials and delighted to note that the chef is popular for his vegan cuisine. We had egg rolls busting with veggies and crisp edamames for appetizers. The stir fried asparagus was out of the world! Garlic eggplant was perfectly flavored. The Hong Kong noodles were pan fried and we didn't feel guilty eating it. The sesame bun dessert was out of this world good!!! The owner was very friendly and food was made fresh and served fast. Other notable thing was the cleanliness of the bathroom being exceptionally clean. Highly recommend this gem in Marina!“

“Fresh delicious Japanese food. Wednesday is Ramen special night. The fish was very fresh and well presented. Great service. It can be a bit noisy.Vegetarian options: Tofu dishesParking: Very small parking lot but there is also street parking available.“

“We had a reservation for 4 at 5:30 on a Wednesday. Parking was easy. The place was busy and noisy. We were seated immediately. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. Our group had prime rib and New York steak (and salmon filet), amazing steak, cooked to perfection along with the potatoes, veggies, and salad. Thumbs up for an outstanding steakhouse meal. We will go back soon. Oh yes, and the wine was excellent!“

“Noodle House is one of my favorite spots in Salinas. We have been coming here since 2011, when we first moved to the area. Their pho is among the best I've had, and I never get anything else. The service is great; everyone is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!“

“The staff here goes above and beyond to make sure customers are satisfied! I order takeout at least once a week here and today I had complimentary chips added to each of the 3 bowls I ordered. They once made a mistake and put the wrong dressing on a bowl, they made sure to remake the bowl with correct dressing and gave me the incorrect one for free. I didn’t even have to ask them to remake it, they made sure it was done before I got there to pick up! Their food always tastes amazing, and the staff is always welcoming! I highly recommend!“

“An excellent neighborhood cafe. The food is marvelous, menudo, chicken popusa, chicken sope, and the freshest most refreshing pico de gallo. Service was gratuitous, prompt, and attentive. The interior is, simple, clean and bright. Definitely a go-to location.“

“Exceptional, incredible, amazing! The reviews do not lie! If you are looking for something out of the norm for Mexican food, please go here!! The staff were incredibly nice and everything was excellent and had its own special flair, you can't get this at a usual place. Best complete meal I've had in a long time!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“This is an excellent spot. Got to this place via a random search on my way back from Carmel. The people serving here are super nice. Made us feel instantly comfy even with a new born in a stroller. Food was super good. Fast service. Crab fried rice is a must try. They dont serve jasmine rice with the curries by “

“Solid spot! Very reasonably priced, for a good quantity of food. It's very busy, so come prepared for that. The food itself was good, but not amazing. You'll leave there happy, would definitely recommend if you're craving some comfort food.“

“I ordered the Pho Doc Biet and a hot tea, and I’m a very happy boy :) It was as good as my favorite pho in LA/OC. Great broth — clean and flavorful, not too salty, and not sweet. Good meats and tripe. The tendon was especially note worthy and plentiful! As a tea lover I was grateful for the second tea bag, which made for a delicious strong pot of tea.The staff is super friendly.It’s a nice family business. There is a reason this place a dedicated customer base. Apparently they were operating in Gilroy, closed for some time and then reopened in Salinas. It was the jubilation in the reviews about the reopening that got my attention.Thank you for the delicious meal! I’ll definitely come back here the next time I’m in Salinas.“

“I made a quick trip this weekend to my hometown of Salinas for a cousin's funeral, and I found this place on Yelp (where else). My brother and I were hungry for breakfast and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes with over medium eggs, beans and rice, while my brother ordered the country eggs Benedict (sausage Patty instead of Canadian bacon). The salsa verde on the chilaquiles had just enough bite without being soggy, the tortilla chips were nice and crispy, and the eggs were cooked just right. The beans and rice complimented the meal perfectly. I was going to order the optional carne asada to go on top of the chilaquiles, but honestly, I didn't miss it. The Señora, presumably the proprietor, came by our table three times with a big smile to see how we liked it. No small feat, considering how busy they were. We are very well for $41 plus tip. I will definitely return to this excellent local spot when I am in town.“

“Lunch plates are good values. I tries the combo with spring rolls. The spring rolls were a disappointment. Of you're set on the combo, maybe the pan fried potstickers will be better. I had the green curry with chicken as the main. I forgot to specify the spice level so was prepared to get it mild. Fortunately there was enough of a tingle to satisfy me. I will be returning to try their pad kra pao next.“

“The pupusas were really tasty and flavorful (ordered loroco, chicken and cheese, shrimp and cheese, and ruevelta). The cortido had chile pieces of which only made the flavor that much better. The inside of the restaurant was clean, but a little small. The waitress was super friendly.“

“Walking in the atmosphere was really nice and clean. Our service was also really good and attentive when we got the food. The food was very good and tasteful. I had the chicken fried steak sunny side up eggs and a side of biscuits and gravy. It was really good and I definitely would come back.“

“This is a fantastic place to eat. It has consistently served delicious food every time I have gone there. I had the chile verde and my companion had albondigas soup. They were both delicious. It’s good to know when you are ordering that your know it’s going to be “

“I just got done telling my boyfriend that there are no good pizza places around Monterey; however, I stumbled upon this little pizza place a couple weeks ago and it is FIRE! Great pizza, extremely friendly and helpful staff, and a very nice environment. Highly recommend.“

“Love this little hidden pink gem located on Park Row in South Salinas near the Bagel Corner. They have great weekly lunch specials two people can share a plate as they serve Large servings. My favorite lunch combo is the noodles with kung pao shrimp. They are also one of the few restaurants open late in the area. Go give it a try!!!“

“We love coming here to Dudley’s on Saturday. It’s a family thing. I’ve been coming here since I was a teen with my mother and grandmother. Now I come with my husband and my mother in law. The food is just delicious. My favorite is their pancakes. Oh can’t forget their homemade salsa. I always ask for some to go home with. It’s just that good. If you never been your missing out.“

“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.“

“Camalig has been on our radar for quite some time but we have not been able to stop in until this week and BOY LEMME TELL YOU this food is AMAZING! We were greeted by the lovely lady when we arrived and a man came from the back to explain all the options available. My hubby and I decided on a 2 option plate, I had the "world famous " pork adobo (one of the hubs options as well) and the chicken adobo, the hubby also picked the beef stew. When we say flavor packed we mean it!, delicious! When he said the pork was world famous, we can understand why it was falling apart, and with the sauce mixed with the white rice is just heavenly. The beef stew was flavorful and delicious. When we left the restaurant we were happily on the way to Costco to walk it off because if we would have went home we would have been sleeping it off instead! The lumpia were outstanding ! They only had vegetable ones available we ordered enough to bring home so we could have a few for later(pop those bad boys in the air fryer for a few minutes and they were right back to Crispy deliciousness) we enjoyed them for our light dinner due to still being full from lunch. The restaurant itself is small quaint and homey. Small coffee area and the feels of eating at a family member's house. Lawrence (so so nice!) came out and and cut us a slice of flan- Omggggg I'm not even kidding about how good it was. In my culture flan is thick(not my favorite) but the thin slice with the delicious Carmel sauce ... damn! Seriously makes me want to go back today just thinking of it! This is one of those places you want to blow up because they deserve it but you also don't want everybody to go so they're always sold out when you arrive lol all seriousness we wish them so much success! We felt so at home here, Lawrence is sincerely so nice and the other staff was equally amazing. We will be back“

“Customer service fn great!!!! I gave it 4 stars due to its small capacity, but overall food is the best and tasty, very authentic Mexican food. Will keep coming back and forth lol...Vegetarian options: Rice and beans, pico de gallo or salsa, as well as a basic regular salad. Chips, too!!Kid-friendliness: It is family-friendly, but if you got them little ones who can't sit still and are loud, then my recommendation is eating outside due to its tight capacity inside as well as respect for others who are trying to enjoy a family friendly meal without the distraction.Parking: Parking is a bit hard to find, but there is a parking garage down the street from the restaurant. About a few minutes away, walking distanceWheelchair accessibility: WC accessibility outside due to its small restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Not a vegetarian restaurant, but there are rice and beans as well as a regular salad.“

“I like it, but they are hiring people that dont know english. Try going to mexico and ask for something in english they get all mad. It's a frustration going to restaurants that dont understand our primary language and that are leagal.“

“Best in town. Friendly staff, great portions and most of all taste great.Vegetarian options: A lot to consider.Dietary restrictions: Something for everyone.Parking: Lots of parking in front and parking lot in backKid-friendliness: Patient staff, good kid menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get around, a lot of space.“

“Food and service are great, found this a few years back and any chance I get to come over the hill I grab tacos. Love the flavor of the carnitas and the heat on the green salsa is perfect. We also had pollo tostada and taco which was fresh and tasty too. Or as my partner said 'yummy'“

“Super delicious, all traditional favors were there. I will come back and bring guests. Nothing was old or grease. Everything was fresh and tasty. I am coming back!!!Parking: There was a person in front checking the parking lot. We assumed it was because of the low security in Salinas but we do not really know.“

“Customer service was 10/5 with Adela today - she made sure we were well taken care of and even made sure we enjoyed our drinks by letting us taste it first multiple times- she is so so awesome and i’m grateful for her!! She made the experience above and beyond- thank you Adela!! Btw, no one told me to write this, i felt in my heart to do this as it was awesome!“

“First time here with my 3 daughters and husband. The buffet was packed and we randomly decided to eat here instead. Customer service is great. Very nice, attentive, and polite people. The place was clean. The food was very tasty. I really enjoyed, their Kung pao chicken, fried rice with shrimp, chow mein, wonton soup, and pot stickers. We ordered one of the family deals for 3 and there was more than enough food. We had lots of leftover food to take home ?. Prices are affordable. We all enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back.“

“Fast, friendly, and consistent.The wait staff at the Farm House are very friendly and hospitable. The food comes out really fast, sometimes too fast, meaning food doesn't always come out at the same time so people In your party may wait a bit after others have received their food. And if you add a side with your main meal, it tends to be forgotten.Food is consistently good for dinner food, a bit over salted, but consistent. Toast is more like warmed bread even when we ask for it extra toasted. The potato chips and salsa are a lunch time favorite, both come out warm and made fresh.We like coming here when we are looking for a quick meal.“

“As busy as the holidays become, and you're craving Birria but don't have the hours and hours to slow cook your delicious meal , you have to go to the next best option that would be here in Castroville! We came in on a Monday right about 6 o'clock. It wasn't too busy we were seated promptly. Our order was taken just as quickly and with all that being said, the food came out, fresh and flavorful and generous portions. Because this location has been a staple in Castroville for years , the ambience of the restaurant has not changed much since the central Texan minus the chips, but that's OK because the beautiful wood finishes are charming no matter what everything was clean and bright and that is always a good sign. We came during happy hour, and that meant you could get three queso Birria tacos for 10 bucks not bad if you ask me! We each ordered a plate of three and got shrimp cocktail and the Birria Ramen to share. Everything was flavorful, hot and delicious we personally like our Birria a little more spicy but I do understand you have to appeal to the masses with the restaurant For everybody to enjoy it not only spicy lovers like ourselves. The shrimp cocktail had an abundance of large shrimp, not the tiny salad shrimps you get at some restaurants and the Ramen was good but again I think it was just missing that little bit of spice that we were craving but again that's personal preference, so I cannot blame them for that. However they have incredibly amazing hot salsa that took care of our need for spice my wonderful hubby enjoyed it very much and said it was spicy so if he thinks it's spicy you know it's spicy good I highly recommend trying out this establishment if you're going to go on the weekends, you better go early as a Castroville native seeing the lines on the weekend makes me appreciate them being open during the weekdays lol And again, if your lines are that long, you're doing something right notable mention if you like the traditional Birria De chivo- you're in luck as they are serving up the classic style most people are looking for I know it's not it for everybody but if you know you know. Run don't walk and bring your appetite!“

“Where do i even begin with this classic Watsonville spot. The Best chavelas hands down!Their shrimp burritos , agua chilies,shrimp empanadas, and quesy birria are bomb as well!Pretty much any good or beverage is bomb here .The service is fast and friendly. Plenty of parking and seating. Gets packed on weekends and sporting events. They have a few tvs in there. They have outside and Inside seating.Definitely fun place for friends and family to go habg out and enjoy some good food .“

“The food is great... Their problem is running out of food. It's a constant problem with this place and I don't understand why they can't seem to ever cook enough potatoes and brisket. They routinely run out of the favorites BEFORE the dinner rush. If you have extra potatoes, save them for breakfast, cube them, put them in a pan, throw them in a burrito. Get creative! Constantly running out of food will chase your loyal customers away, especially over a $0.50 potato!!!“

“I'm just here to leave a review on behalf of my best friend and I. We are former CSUMB graduates and this was our SPOT! We miss it all the time, we talk about it all the time. Whenever we visit they still remember our face and our usual orders. To the boss Lady you know who you are We miss your restaurant, the great hospitality you provide and comfortable ambiance! The chicken tortilla soup still is the best soup ever and I've yet to find a contender. I still dream about the blackened chicken plate. Please please support this local family owned restaurant. You won't be disappointed. Don't pay attention to any bad reviews because they speak more about the character of the reviewer and they speak NOTHING about the character of this little restaurant. We can't wait to visit again, please don't forget us! With Love and appreciation, Steph & Sam“

“Important to note - this is primarily a take out place. They have enough space for maybe 12 people at most. You have to go to the counter to place your order and pay for it. Then they’ll serve your food if you’re lucky enough to get a table.Food is decent overall but avoid pad see ew. They obviously don’t know how to cook it.“

“Nice clean odorless place. Service is friendly. Happy chef, Food served best in town.Vegetarian options: Apertizer - friedGarlic edame winner.Vegetables fresh.Overall meal not greasy , not soggy or over saucy.Kid-friendliness: Fried chicken, spaviousParking: LimitedWheelchair accessibility: Accessible.“

“DON'T DOORDASH!!!!!!! Doordash is a middle man leech company that does not care about its customers or the businesses they feed off of. When something goes wrong, the customer blames the restaurant instead of the morons that are doordash. Always contact the restaurant directly, and you'll receive much better service!!!!“

“First time trying this pho place in Salinas and definitely will be coming here instead of the other pho places in the area. The soup broth was good, they provide plenty of sauces to adjust to your liking, and the fried chicken has a good crisp.“

“Such a great little local Thai spot, albeit a bit expensive.After arriving from out of town to visit family for Thanksgiving, my family and I stopped in and enjoyed a quiet lunch at this wonderful little spot.The service was great, and the food was excellent. We had Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Green Curry and Spicy Eggplant and Tofu.All items were rich with flavor and well prepared. I do wish they'd been a bit more generous (especially for the cost), but overall we were pleased with the experience.Definitely consider checking out this great local business if you're in the area!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options available, and the tofu/etc. was prepared marvelously!Kid-friendliness: While this spot does use formal dinnerware & silverware (glass cups, etc.) - it still provided a great experience for my kiddos. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a 'formal' lunch, it definitely was a step up from typical hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurants.“

“First time visiting this place, and I would highly recommend it. The fish and chips were seasoned and prepared just right! The waitress provided us with great service as well.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and booster seats for kids.“

“It was ?! We went on the Thursday before ? Weekend...it was lunch time, so it was packed. Spring ? break. My order was mediocre. I ordered the Teriyaki beef ?...the beef was ? cut for bite size eating? It looked like a flank ? almost whole? Jesting. No really, the pieces were not bite size! Everything else was nominal. Service has changed since the Pandemic! ?✌?“
