Beautiful Spot - Edit
The interior is such an authentic display of culture, the dishes on the menu were all so appetizing. I opted for the Phattie’s Platter which is good if you’re indecisive and can put it back like me, lol. My son ordered the gorditas plate & we both were impressed at how much the flavors and food tasted like my mother’s own Mexican food. I can see myself eating here every time I stop into Escondido to visit my son, I was worried Escondido would not have many vegan options when we were moving him in for college. Overall very happy to find this restaurant!

Always closing early🤬 - Edit
Phatties has good food. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's always good. The problem is they close early often and don't adhere to their posted hours. Very annoying and frustrating!

So good - Edit
I love Phatties. So amazing to have a long menu with so many options, all vegan. I recommend the enmoladas and carne asada tacos. Keep in mind the serving sizes are huge here. Food is great and but the dine in is a bit run down looking, but that's part of the Phatties vibe, and it fits in with the post-apocalyptic vibe of present day downtown Escondido with its numerous mostly empty dilapidated strip malls.

Fabulous vegan Mexican - Edit
I love that you can roll into a sleepy retiree town like Escondido and find amazing vegan Mexican food I was visited for a day only and this was the highlight. I had a lovely adobada taco and shrimp taco but the best was Phattie's special gordita: "Deep fried corn flour patty stuffed with refried beans, vegan chicarron, lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado & vegan cream." The corn shell, almost like Mexican pita, was so light and crispy but still help all the fillings. Friendly and full of people!
Read morePros: Great food, All vegan in a small town, Friendly staff

Delicious food. Generous portions - Edit
We ordered the Enmoladas with soyrizo and potato filling, gordita plate (with two separate fling) and kids quesedilla. Everything was excellent. In particular the mole sauce on the Enmoladas. Plus the side of the spicy tomatilla sauce was amazing. Recommend the cucumber lemonade too. Didn't quite love the Champurrado - first time for me.

Best Mexican food ever. - Edit
Husband and I shared the Phatties Burrito, birria tacos and taquitos. Everything was amazing. Next time I'm going to skip the taquitos and opt for dessert since I was totally stuffed and couldn't order it. Vegan or not, this is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had.

5-star vegan Mexican food in Escondido - Edit
They officially have a totally vegan menu now. I got the mole enchiladas and a peach mango tajin (salty chili powder) smoothie and both were exceptional. Can't wait to go back!

Authentic Mexican Food - Edit
The best Mexican vegan restaurant! From food truck to restaurants, I'm so happy for them. I like to call to order because I live far away. Really great customer service. They update their Instagram, so I am always up to date. My favorite foods are Gorditas, Panbazo, and Burritos. I have ate almost everything from the menu. Recently, they were closed for 10 days. But they posted on instagram to inform their customers. I recommend Phatties to everyone and my family and friends.

Never Open! - Edit
I love this restaurant but it’s admittedly out of the way. They’ve got good food but aren’t good business people. They close without warning and don’t announce it on their website or their social media. It’s virtually impossible to get ahold of them on the phone and place an order. If you just show up it’ll take forever because they make everything fresh. They just introduced online ordering so I did that and went to pick it up at the time it said and there was a note on the door saying they were closed for a week. Why was my order able to go through? So frustrating!!!

Authentic flavor - Edit
Had the taquitos, green enchiladas suiza, chicharrón taco, and soup- everything was amazing!
