Loving Lasagna
Tammy B.

Parking: The Pre-Meal Adventure First things first--parking is a sport here. I mean, it's near the water, so of course there is limited space. It took me a solid half hour to park. By the time I walked in, I felt like I had already burned off dessert. Service with Space The service was chill and patient--no pressure, no hovering. I was offered suggestions, politely declined, and eventually made up my mind like the independent vegan foodie I pretend to be. Food Chronicles I dove into the Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla with walnut meat. Now, let me confess: this was my first time eating walnut meat, it was an interesting experience... a little sweeter than my taste buds were emotionally prepared for, but hey--growth! I'll have to try it without the walnut meat next time. The real showstopper..The kale chips. I'm pretty sure they were kale chips, but honestly they tasted like crispy little blessings from above. Heaven-sent. Then came the Loving Lasagna, and WOW. Extremely good. The sauces were divine, like they'd been whisked by angels with excellent seasoning skills. I absolutely recommend it--10/10, would eat again and again.

Peace Pies is hands down the best place for raw food. I had the Carnitas Burrito and Bruschetta as an appetizer -- both were fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. We sat outside and the weather was perfect, which made the experience even better. A must-visit if you're into raw, plant-based meals!

Delicious. We really enjoyed our experience and will return for more. Thanks for making the day special as we were celebrating 19 years together and wanted to explore and try something new. What a great find in Encinitas-Peace Pies!

My husband and I drove all the way from LA just to try Peace Pies, and let me tell you it was worth every mile. The meal we had here is one that we simply will not forget because it was so dang delicious. It is heartbreaking that it is so far away because I would be frequenting here every week if I could, but I surely will come back. We came in late Sunday afternoon, and the store was very calm and peaceful with just a couple of other patrons. There was just one individual at the counter when we arrived who was very kind and took our order. My husband ordered the Majestic Mediterranean Wrap and I had the Buffalo Falafel Wrap. Both wraps were so fresh and bursting with flavor and came with a side of kale chips that are out of this world. You can tell that all of the ingredients and produce used are high quality. The colors of the ingredients are also gorgeous. The portion sizes are generous, but the taste is so good that we both easily finished our wraps. After this, we ordered a chocolate mylkshake and a Samoa for dessert. Both were absolutely divine. We were so blown away by everything that we had that we ordered another wrap (magical mango curry wrap) and took a case of kale chips home. The magical mango was our least favorite out of the three wraps, but it was still really good. The food at Peace Pies is deeply nourishing, which is a rarity with modern day food. Your body will truly thank you for eating Peace Pies. I am so sad I cannot have it every day.

Delicious meal all Raw vegan.

I ordered Thanksgiving meals ahead of time and to my surprise got way more than I was expecting. It was so gourmet! The service was great! They had it all ready when I got there. The place is beautiful & clean. Everyone loved the food. Thank you peace pies our two hour trip to get there was worth it!

The food was amazing! Fresh and all the yummyness I can actually eat!! The options were phenomenal and look forward to my return!

Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla, Luna Tuna Wrap, & Cheezy Kelp 'n' Kale (salad)
Justin N.

What an absolute gem. If I lived nearby, I'd ask the staff to hurry up and give me a nickname because I'd be a regular like clockwork. Alas, I don't live nearby. A stellar stop should you find yourself driving between Los Angeles and San Diego, or thereabouts. Like I did. If you do live close, lucky you. Newly introduced, I didn't know where to start. I asked about fan favorites and was directed to the mushroom quesadilla. "Everyone on Yelp loves it." Well goddamn. Feel free to include me on the "everyone" list. A tough task, creating a raw quesadilla that can stand up to its traditional, melty cousin. But stand up it does. My wife isn't big on mushrooms, but she was eyeing my half like I was going to have to fight for it. The faux-tuna wrap was spot on. A lot of greens and sprouts, extremely fresh, a crunch factor with a dressing that tied it all together like Lebowski's rug. And the kelp salad was blessed with just the right amount of olives to keep it fun. I used to be disinterested in raw spots. I found the flavors too consistent across the menu, too many dried seed everythings. Too bland, too much not enough. Undoubtedly healthy, but the taste buds want what the taste buds want. Peace Pies took the healthiness, kept that core of the raw lifestyle, and turned up all the rest. What an uplifting spot to hang. Probably a mile or less off the ocean, it's got that sleepy town attitude where fog chills the quiet air outside, and you get to kick back and recharge. They've got big, beautiful plants, a gorgeous passionfruit vine mural, and a deck outside to enjoy the bites and the breeze. I'm a fan of the color palette. Nice decor without going overboard or out of bounds, pillows to lean on, sunlight popping through to hit all the right spots. As far as I can tell, everything is made in-house. Even the coconut tortillas, which they sell separately if you want to get fancy at home. I'm a little sad I didn't try the walnut meat, or the durian smoothy. Durian? In smoothies? Normally worth a chuckle, but I bet Peace Pies handles it with care. The staff were cool folks, there to spread friendliness and care through soul-nourishing food and a place to unplug. Good food and a table to enjoy it are the ultimate display of welcome. I wish we could've stayed longer. A shame, when the daily grind drags us back when the heart wants to stay put. I would've lounged an hour or two on the patio. Maybe sipped a tea and tried one of those sweets in the cooler that couldn't stop looking at me. Closed my eyes, breathed deeply, and noshed 'til I could nosh no more. There's always next time... Well, at least I hope there is. Next time, it will have to be.

Celebrated my birthday at one of my favorite vegan spots--Peace Pies! This place truly delivers real food made with love. The newly renovated space is absolutely magical and welcoming! It's got a modern touch with a cute, cozy vibe. We arrived for lunch and were lucky to snag a lovely indoor spot. The interior is open and bright, with dessert displays that made me want to try everything! Some standout menu items: Chips and guac app- beautifully plated and a healthy starter! Magical Mango Curry Wrap (my all-time favorite) - Avocado, mango, and mixed veggies all wrapped in a coconut tortilla, served with coconut curry sauce. It's super filling, packed with fresh veggies. Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla - A red bell tortilla stuffed with cheez, 'sautéed' mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and greens, served with guacamole. This is a close second for me--can't resist anything with mushrooms! Also, a special shoutout to their kale chips, which are hands down the best in town. I don't even mind getting kale stuck in my teeth, they're that good. LOL! To top it off, I had their refreshing sugarcane juice--my go-to whenever I see it on the menu! Even my non-vegan friends loved their meals and couldn't believe everything was raw vegan. I always love seeing people's reactions when they try this place for the first time, and it's always positive! Healthy, cruelty-free food that's both delicious and satisfying--Peace Pies does it right! To make the day even sweeter, they surprised me with a chocolate dessert when they found out it was my birthday. It was the perfect way to end my birthday lunch! Thank you, Peace Pies, for always serving up amazing food and service. I could eat here every day!

This is one of the best places to eat hands down! Incredible food and atmosphere. The quesadillas is the best and is so filling. Can't wait to try everything on the menu. The horchata smoothie is also amazing.

Their patio is sooooo cute!! Everything here is so fresh, natural and delicious!! The employees are always so sweet and give great recommendations. They're also really cool about accommodations. One of my favorite new findings in Leucadia

Absolutely the best place to eat if you want to feel good about what you put in your body, not to mention supporting a local business. Every item is served with loving care. My favorites are the chocolate shake, caeser wrap, caeser salad, buffalo falafel wrap and the Twix bar.

There were two couples and one woman at tables, outside a couple tables were also taken. Everyone was already eating from what I could see, except one of the couples at a high top. I got in line with only 2 people in front of me. I placed my order, some baked goods from the case, a mocha, and chicken and waffles and took my number to the table. I got my Mayan mocha within 5-7 minutes, delicious. I then waited another 45 minutes to receive my chicken and waffles! There were big waves of people coming in and I was thankful I came in the small window of time when hardly anyone was there. That should have meant my order was ahead of the many people in line. At 30 minutes I went to check and make sure there hadn't been a mixup with my order. I had ordered a baked item to go and clarified with the employee ringing me up that everything else was for here/to dine in. She repeated that back to me. Nonetheless, when I went to check, I thought maybe it had accidentally been packed to go. But no, the other employee told me, it was still coming. So I went and sat back down. At 45 minutes I asked another passing employee, who might have been the manager, as I saw her give food to a table that had arrived at least 10-15 minutes after me. This was getting ridiculous. I was waiting on literally one meal and had gotten here ahead of all these people the restaurant was now busy with. She said she would check for me. She came back a few minutes later with my plate and went to get me hot sauce. I checked the chicken and it was COLD, waffle too. They gave me butter but how would it even melt on this cold waffle? I was so angry and baffled. The employee/manager came back and said she was going to take my coffee and pastry off the bill and refund it. This was a nice gesture but honestly, this whole meal should have been refunded. To pay a premium for these ingredients and be served a cold meal after nearly an hour of waiting. Absolutely unacceptable. I tried to submit this feedback to their contact portal instead of a public Yelp review but 3 times their site said it was having issues and it couldn't accept the form. Another thing out of order it seems for Nectarine Grove. Don't dare come here if you have anywhere else to be that afternoon. Another north county beautiful high priced eatery not getting the basics right.

We went last night for my mom's birthday dinner and tried a few dishes we hadn't had before. The Wienerschnitzel was fantastic, as was the chuletón--a massive 32-ounce bone-in ribeye that was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We also ordered several of our favorites: the patatas bravas, with perfectly crispy little squares of potato; the alcachofa, a delicious smashed artichoke with aioli and lemon; the olives, which are perfection every time; and the pan tomaquet con Ibérico--fabulous Ibérico ham served over tomato toast. For dessert, we tried the buñuelos, which reminded me of a lighter, airier version of a churro, and the crema catalana, similar to crème brûlée. Both were a great finish to the meal. Valentina manages to strike that perfect balance: casual enough to feel like a neighborhood spot you can visit all the time, but with food and service that make it feel special enough for a celebration. Another excellent dinner and definitely one of our neighborhood favorites. We usually sit at the bar but enjoyed the dining room this last time!

It was so loud that my partner and I could barely hear each other across the table, which really took away from the experience. It also didn't quite live up to the beautiful, inviting atmosphere portrayed on social media. Food & Drinks: We started with the Patatas Bravas appetizer and tuna tartar with potato-lime chips. The potatoes were delicious -- nothing groundbreaking, but very good. The tuna was pretty forgettable. We had an Aperol spritz and a beer, and neither was particularly memorable. For our mains, we had the steak frites and the fish special with chimichurri and charred lemon. The steak was okay and the fries were excellent, but both dishes were lacking flavor overall. The fish especially needed more seasoning. Dessert was crème brûlée, which was fine but nothing special. Service & Overall: Service was good, but considering we had made a reservation specifically for a birthday, I was surprised there wasn't even a small acknowledgment -- a candle, scoop of ice cream, or simple "Happy Birthday" would have been a nice touch. There was nothing. For all the hype surrounding Valentina, I left feeling pretty meh. The food was okay, the atmosphere was difficult to enjoy, and the overall experience didn't feel worth the price or hype. I wouldn't go back.

READ THIS BEFORE READING OTHER REVIEWS…read more Yelp has incorrectly combined reviews from TWO DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS under Birdseye Kitchen. Many if not most of the negative reviews are from Pho-Ever, which used to be next door to Birdseye and is closed - Birdseye expanded into their space. You can tell because every now and then people refer to Pho-Ever in negative reviews. If you see reports of cabbage with brown edges, rude servers, etc, that's Pho-Ever, NOT Birdseye. We figured this out because, despite some negative reviews, we Just chanced it with Birdseye and it was great! They were quite slammed, yet the servers still chatted with us and gave us recommendations. We had the Summer Rolls, Pineapple Red Curry, and Thai Basil Stir-Fry and all were very good, especially the Summer Rolls, which had a ton of fresh herbs. Only regret is that we ordered 7 out of 10 on the spiciness scale and it was spicy but not enough for us (but that's because I've eaten with locals in Cambodia, Thailand, India..). If you are used to spicy food, go at least 8, maybe 9. At the end of the meal, we mentioned the Pho-Ever reviews and got the backstory, so I had to share!

When he came back, he took our drink order and ran off again. We were upset at this point because we told him as we were sitting down that we ready to order. We tried to flag another server and noticed that there were only 3 servers for the entire restaurant. 45 mins in we finally got to place our order. I was really turned off by the service. Their food is good but the service is just awful. Maybe they ought to hire more help.

Post-mortem... I was sad to hear that CHIKO permanently closed their doors at the end of last year…read more It's rare for an East Coast based Asian chain restaurant to migrate to California, but that was what CHIKO did. As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.
