    TLDR: Excellent vegetarian friendly mexican food - small restaurant that doesn't take reservations so be prepared to wait: food is excellent! We arrived around 6 PM on a Saturday night and ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. The restaurant is well decorated but pretty small. Once seated we had their house chips and salsa - chips were very fresh and salsa was great. For mains a we got their taco bowl and the vegetarian enchiladas - both were delicious. Lot of vegan and vegetarian options!

    My second time coming. The vegan options and the regular food is really good. Our server was super nice and was really welcoming. If you're in the area, come check it out. Nice spot in north park with a lot to do in the area.

    Went here for lunch with a group of 6 and we all loved our food- both the vegan options and regular options. I got the Tijuana tacos with shrimp and it was so flavorful. I love all the salsa they've got on the table, and fresh tortilla chips. Service was really nice, I'd definitely come back :)

    Great little spot in Northpark. We had a party of 6, but they were very helpful in getting us a table as soon as possible. We only waited for about 10 minutes. The great thing about this place is that you can order almost every item was a vegan dish. That worked out great because my daughter and her fiancé are both vegans. We ordered guacamole and totopos, chimichangas, trio enchiladas, burritos and tortilla soup. Everything was delicious, including the vegan dishes.

    Immediately walking in, we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant was tastefully designed and there was a lot of seating to where it didn't feel too crowded. Looking at the menu, there were a bunch of options to choose from. They have an extremely extensive menu with many drink options. I didn't know exactly what I was craving so having this many options was perfect to look through. The service was great and the waiter came with water, chips, and salsa quickly. She was very friendly and happy to give recommendations on menu items she liked! I ended up getting the Chicken Street Tacos (2) and they were really good. The chicken was a little dry but the sauce helped. They gave me a huge portion which I was very satisfied with! They were also $10, so for that price I was very pleased. Overall the restaurant was great in price, portions, and quality!

    Amazing food and service! We got free chips and free refills on coffee. The chips were fresh and delicious, served with two housemade salsas. We put them on everything! The outdoor seating area is also very cute and filled with plants. For the main meal, we ordered taquitos, breakfast tacos, and the veggie enchilada trio. These were all easily made vegan and gluten-free. It all tasted amazing. I recommend the vegetarian chorizo as a protein choice. I'll definitely be back!

    One of the best Mexican food restaurants in San Diego!! I appreciate the vegan options! My husband and I went here for lunch today. There was lots of seating and our server was fast and friendly. She helped answer our questions from the menu. I started with the ginger-rita with honey and a tajin rim. It was a light and refreshing drink. Obsessed! And to start we ordered chips and salsa and the chips were crispy, hot, and everything. Sidenote the crosses, artwork and signs were appealing to the eye. I was mesmerized by the crosses if I'm being honest. I ordered the trio enchiladas and my husband ordered the shrimp tacos. There is an option for vegan shrimp tacos as well. The flavors were out of this world for the enchiladas: cheese, chicken, and steak. The perfect amount of spice for the sauces. Highly recommend!! We will be back!

    We were recommended this place for good vegetarian mexican food and they were definitely right. The variety of different good options was pretty great. The staff was super nice as well. Carmen was great with recommendations, was fast and friendly. We got the soyrizo borito that they made in house with quinua which actually worked well. The homemade sauces they give you are super nice as well. Both were fresh and packed with flavor. They weren't too spicy and the mango one added a nice fruitiness. Overall a great place and we will definitely be back.

    Long line out the door mid afternoon on a Sunday. Once I tried my burrito, I understood why! I've never had vegan carne asada and it was delicious, definitely worth a try. Take out was a good option- 30 min wait so we walked around instead of standing in line to wait.

    My wife and I have been here before and loved it. Since we had my mother in-law visiting from out of town, this was one of the places we recommended and wanted to show off our awesome San Diego food! This restaurant is located in the cool hip area of North Park, with a lot going on in the surrounding area. The decor is lively, full of greenery and festive Hispanic colors. We were greeted by our server who was very friendly and allowed us to be seated at any open table we preferred. We started off with guacamole and chips. They also offer chips and salsa as a complimentary addition for dining in. I ordered the Trio Enchiladas plate with three sauces with beef, chicken and cheese. My wife and mother in-law ordered the ancient grain chorizo tamale plate with a mole enchilada. They both ordered the food to be prepared as Vegan. All entrees came with rice and beans and everything was delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone as the food is outstanding and the service is great as well! Quick tip: parking can be tricky in this area but there is a small parking lot for Ranchos Cocina guests in the back that can be accessed through the alley!

    The restaurant has a cute authentic theme with lots of green plants. We arrived on a Sunday at 10am. We were seated immediately. After we ordered we received freshly fried tortilla chips with 3 different salsas. There are vegan and non vegan options. The menu is big! I'll need to come back to try more.

    It had been quite a while since the last time I went to Ranchos. The food was DELICIOUS. Nothing like breakfast for dinner. Service was excellent. Good job Ranchos Cocina. Very happy to see things got better! I'll definitely be coming back more often!

    $10 mini chimi (tofu) during happy hour! (2-5 pm mon-fri)
    Angelica L.

    my favorite place for vegan mexican food!!!! my friends and i discovered this place by searching "vegan mexican," and this place is actually so good! located in north park, this restaurant has fun decor - really feels unique to them. service is very kind and friendly, although they do get pretty busy at times. my friend usually gets the veggie enchilada trio and loves it (it's vegan too). we went on a tuesday during happy hour (2-5 pm mon-fri), so they had two deals you can choose from: 1) $10 mini chimi, or 2) buy a drink and get a free taco! the tofu mini chimi was amazing - so crispy! the vegan carne asada that they have there is so good, my friend got a vegan carne asada burrito and he really enjoyed. overall, love coming here. they always have great vegan food options and fun drinks every time i go. definitely worth every cent.

    I love the food at Donna Jeans. Let me get that out the way first. My sister and I try to go here…read moreas much as possible, just on the strength of their food bein hella fire. Now the SERVICE??? It's a HARD NO. We've done reservations, we've done walk ins, we've called ahead.. it does not matter.. they will BS in service and timing. Over all, service is GARBAGE. But this ONE specific experience, I'd like to share was service from HELLLLLLLL! I promise you. So a friend of mine whom is vegan, was visiting from Oahu and I had been telling her for a while that I want to take to this spot! So boom, our schedules finally align and my sister and I are hella hyping the spot up, like "yea, it's fire ! You gon love it!" Right? Ok so boom by the time we meet each other in the parking lot, it's roughly 5 something. There isn't a lot of cars in the parking lot and it's usually packed. So we're like "BET, it's bout to be smooth!" WRONG! Some get inside and see at least 3 open tables and two tiny table that just needed to be cleared. So me and my sis are like dope finally we come and it ain't busy af! Go to host and tell her party of 3, no res. She's like oh I'm sorry but the wait is going to be at least 20 mins. We hungry and my homegirl leaves back to Oahu in like two days. So we like it's fine, put us down. She takes my number and we wait outside right? So we sittin waiting.. I look down at my phone and it's been 40 mins and I still haven't received a "table ready" text. So I go inside and ask how much longer it's going to be. She's like oh, it's been ready, we can seat you. HUHHHHHHH? So you just seen us sitting outside waiting and didn't bother to send a text or take two steps to grab us??? Mind you, there's STILL open tables that were open wh n we first pulled up. So we're seated and it's about TWENTY MINS minimum, before we get a server, the girl that was "helping" us, moving slower than a sloth on life support's name was Francesca. So she comes and at this point our stomachs are damn near on reserve! And we already knew what we wanted to eat so we didn't need any menus. So she takes our orders, COMES BACK TO t mins later and asks us our orders AGAIN!!!!!! This gotta be a joke!!!?! So now you're playing with our time and trying to be funny! Our food literally comes out about 10/15 mins apart from each other. Did I mention this place was not busy at this time? And she was moving EXTREMELY SLOW? And it started to feel real intentional. Drinks came out separately and in between dished that came out super far apart in timing. Now it's time for the check. I ask for the check and some boxes bc we already know at this lint she's about to take her sweet time. Sure enough I watch her help two other tables, make eye contact with me and walk away. Sure enough I have to wave her down to get the check and some boxes. When I say their customer service is sub-par, that really an overstatement. I've never been there and got even at least some MID service. Except Valentine's Day, the lady was super sweet. But other than that, Only good things i have to say are about the food itself. Talk about embarrassing yourself by trying to hype this spot up to your vegan friend .. and we get the experience from hell

Saturday night after a show at the theater down the street, we were walking along Park and decided that was the night! It was almost 9 o'clock when we came into the charming house-turned-restaurant and asked if it was too late to get a table. We were assured it was the perfect time and seated right away. Our lovely server, Melissa, offered us expert guidance on the menu. We went with her suggestion of the roasted mushroom appetizer and were floored by them. I wouldn't expect to be so stunned by mushrooms of all things (I can only think of one other time and beer batter was involved then) but they're wonderfully seasoned and have unexpected crunchy bits. We completely cleaned the plate, scooping up all the spaghetti squash accompaniment. Our mains were also delicious, a fava bean and a lamb entree with cabbage and lentils as the sides. Melissa delivered extra injera without us even asking, and gave us the excellent tip as we headed out to add our leftovers to a pan of scrambled eggs. We did so the next morning, and ate them with our crisped up leftover injera, a very tasty cap to our experience with Muzita!

    Not sure if I trust some of these negative reviews, since some of them even said they didn't eat…read morethe food. Others you can't even see their profiles. So, I'll leave a legitimate review along with pictures. Initially, we were ambivalent about trying this place due to the high prices but they also have an exceptional rating on Google and Yelp. 4.9 on both Google and Yelp, that's rare. We bit the bullet and headed there. Parking can be tough but luckily we found parking in front of the restaurant. It was free after 8 pm on a Tuesday. If you go earlier or on the weekends, I would read the parking sign more carefully. There might be free street parking on the left side behind the restaurant. Don't quote me on that. Like I said, parking is not as easy as other places in SD. There are quite a bit of tables to sit in. It wasn't busy when we went. Yes, they do have a very large menu with like 1,000 items. We are not vegetarian or vegan but we have tried vegan places in Denver, CO. We ordered eel Helen pho roll, crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi, and duck wonton noodle soup. The owner also gave us complimentary desserts, vegan corn pudding and vegan creme. She also gave us cookies and two cups of that delicious special water to go. That special water is hands down one of the best drinks I've ever had. Prices range $22-30. -eel Helen pho roll 5 - not real eel but this was very tasty. I like that the rolls don't fall apart easily. -crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi 5 - the bread has a crispy exterior and the inside is moist. The chestnuts and pineapple really pair well together. I devoured this fast. -duck wonton noodle soup 5 - I really like the broth and the noodles. -vegan corn pudding 5 - this has corn with some coconut. It's a light dessert. -vegan creme 5 - this tastes like the real thing. I honestly wanted more.
