Best Vegan Mexican Food!

We have been here 3 times now. Excellent food, excellent people. We just couldn’t believe it was vegan. The Patties burrito and the Adobado Fries are our favorite. This is our go-to close to home.

Okay food

I had ordered the adobada fries, mole fries, California burrito, and the aguas frescas. The food barely had any taste to them and the meat protein wasn’t seasoned well. The food wasn’t worth how much they charge.
The aguas frescas and salsa was good though.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: expensive , Meat wasn’t seasoned well

Must have been a bad day, I have not had any of those issues and I usually question if it is even vegan because it tastes so authentic. But everyone has their own tastes. Maybe give them a second chance. ♥️😁👍

Holy Guacamole

Worth the trip to Escondido. Delicious yummy food. The quesadilla and a Mexican coke are my favorites. They also do aguas frescas with varying flavors.

Eh

It was nice to support a family business, but the food was underwhelming and bland. Won't be going back, but the people working there are nice.

Authentic & Tasty

I ordered the Queretaro style enchiladas with rajas con crema & huitlacoche fillings with rice & beans. I love rice and beans and they were super tasty here. Also nice knowing that it’s all vegan so no lard! The enchiladas were yummy.
My husband had the Quesadilla with soyrizo con papas.
A little hidden gem

Real Mexican Food Done Vegan!

This authentic, 100% vegan, Mexican restaurant has an in credibly diverse menu ranging from familiar to adventurous. Totally worth a visit to Escondido (and multiple repeats). Pro tip, take it to go and enjoy it at the historic Grape Day Park just up the street. Amazing Mexican food and a scenic setting, it doesn't get better than that!

Not to be missed...

Enchiladas Queretaro style, simmered in chili sauce, stuffed with shredded cabbage, avoacado and  vegan adobada

Huaraches, lightly fried to perfection, with refried beans, soyrizo con papas, topped with a generous layer of avocado

Nopal Quinoa Salad with carrots, avocado, cilantro and spring mix with a fresh, tangy, vinaigrette.

Mexi-Bowl with sauteed vegetables, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and nopales topped with avocado.

Excellent burritos

Amazing California burritos. Only real downside is they don’t have an online ordering option and you may be stuck with a dial tone for a while if you are trying to order for pick up.

Do you LOVE Mexican food?

We do. And we couldn't believe that we JUST found out about Phatties. We went during our last trip to San Diego and are already salivating for more. I went for the flan which is unavailable at this time. They do have Horchata but it is off and on, depending when they choose it as one of the daily agua frescas. This is truly Mexican food, with all of the flavors and deliciousness that comes with it.

We tried the enchiladas and the sopes. And the guacamole and the quesadilla. Everything was delicious.

Staff is all friendly.

Pickup or dine in on their outdoor pation.

Pros: Mexican food, Choices, Staff

Good food, Bad service

Although they have really great options for vegan Mexican food, I did not receive great service from the staff like others have mentioned.

Mouth watering good!

First off I really appreciate the attention to detail in all their menu items. Everything we got was freshly prepared and was definitely worth the wait. Second is the friendly staff. Even though it was busy, Raul still was kind enough to chat with us about how their restaurant converted to 100% Vegan.

Pros: Fresh food , Many options , Friendly staff

Cons: Restaurant is small, Food takes a little while, Still us styrofoam for to go orders

Adobada Fries

The cashier was extremely helpful as I spent 15 minutes trying to decide what to pick. After his recommendations and pictures I ended up getting the adobada fries and fell in love. Definitely the best I’ve every had!

This place is phenomenal. The food is amazing

UPDATE: Phatties is now fully vegan!!!! Everything I’ve tried on their menu is amazing 😍:
Full separate vegan menu. Food is delicious. The owner came up to me and made sure I knew there was a full vegan menu, very personable. The cutest little intimate restaurant. Everyone should try this place.

Pros: Previously served meat/ now fully vegan , Amazing staff/owner, Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine

Cons: No cons

Do it

I got the California burrito and as a former meat eater this is hands down the most comparable burrito to the greasy taco shops California burrito. The wife got the mexi bowl without protein and she’s a meat eater and loved the bowl. We will eat there again.

Pros: California burrito was on point, Great location

Cons: Needs an updated website

Good food long wait

I’ve been here probably five or six times. The food is amazing and they’re busy during quarantine which makes me happy but I also had to wait 30 minutes for a salad

Fresh and authentic

This is great authentic Mexican food, not like a fast food chain or American style Mexican restaurant. I've been here twice, with non-vegan family, and I had no idea what I was ordering because they are authentic dishes that I'm not familiar with (and no picture) but I've been so pleased with what I had. I'm sold! I'll be back!

Pros: Delicious!, Taco bar on specific days. , All vegan

Cons: FYI: when I use H.C. for directions it takes me , To the back of the building, where there is no , Access.

This place is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This place is awesome. I have eaten here multiple times and tried several meals. All are good. They just added five new choices to include inside their various meals. One of the best vegan eateries in the county. You’re not just limited to a couple choices. There are dozens of possible combinations available.

Pros: Food was great!, Service was fast and friendly

Cons: None

My mom is sure she could go vegan now!

This place is the best vegan Mexican food I’ve had, and my mom was blown away! She’s always associated meat with Mexican food, and was astounded how good it all was with no meat at all! Such fresh, authentic, delicious food, and lovely staff, too! You’ll love it. 😋
