I love PPFF and their many locations, but this one is most local to me and I frequent most often! Their food is delicious and there are so many options!!! I can't help but round out my experience by adding a shake (pistachio is the best!) and loaded fries to my entree. I became gluten free later in life and never thought I could taste a Big Zac again. I could have cried when PPFF gave me the opportunity! It's a big kitchen and you don't see a ton of staff, but they are always great and pretty knowledgeable with my dietary restrictions. I love to eat in the outdoor dining area or take my drive thru food to a beach or park! read more

blown away by my first experience here! food was unreal, service was quick, and the entire vibe is right on par. my 6 year old daughter loved the kids nugget meal with hibiscus drink, i got the burger (unreal, so soft). the sauces are bomb - big zac sauce is my personal favorite. bbq is great too. oat milk milkshakes?? say less. 10/10 will be back time and time again! read more

Vegan milkshakes!!! Hungry and in need of something to settle my stomach. Ordered a Strawberry plant-milk milk shake. Delicious. Also picked up a pre-packaged grab and go vegan chocolate chip cookie. thick and moist. Fast friendly service, no wait. read more

My wife introduced me to Plant Power a couple of years ago and I was hesitatant to try a meatless sandwich, but to my surprise it was actually pretty good. She had me try the nuggets as well and when we had to make a visit to the Encinitas Scripps recently, I had to get an order of my own. The nuggets are so good with BBQ sauce or honey mustard. Everything seems to be made to order as it's crispy and hot. They also have some decent beverage options and the service is always pleasant. I can't say much for the interior since we have always opted for the drive through. I'll be looking forward for the next chance to grab some more of those nuggets. read more

Plant Power Fast Food - Meatless chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries. - Vegan Near Me - Encinitas, California

I'm not a huge vegan fan boy. I'm a dad. I grill a lot. I have kids. They like hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs, tri-tip, brisket - so do I. But every now and then, you need a break. Plant power nearly matches the quality of any fast food joint or frozen food in your fridge quality. It's legit. Its like In-and-Out + Mcdonalds combined. Their fries here are ridiculous, so is their secret sauce. Their sauce is like a richer more dense version of In-and-Outs, less runny, more flavor. Their burgers here are a kinda sorta. The cheese is not dairy based and you can taste that it's artificial. The burgers are an 8/10. I like impossible burgers quite a bit. These are similar but there's a slight disconnection. The nuggets taste same same. 5 stars tbh. 8/10 food quality, service is lightening quick. Prices may soar a bit but who cares? You pay for health and you get it here. Nice service too. Recommmend. read more

As a longtime vegetarian, I was blown away by this amazingly delicious experience. The guacamole burger and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with the Iconic Fries were heavenly. The people were kind and friendly, and provided quick service. Plenty of parking and a drive through. I can't wait to come back and try the California burrito with "carne asada." read more

I tried the Holy Guacamole burger, and it was just okay. The prices are reasonable, but I was expecting a bit more in terms of flavor--maybe it just wasn't the best choice for me. I'd like to try another burger next time to see if there are better-tasting options. Had a very nice outdoor seating options though! read more

Sadly underwhelmed :( I was really looking forward to eating here but doubt that I'll be back. Ordered a superfood salad and it was basically just sloppily thrown together (fast food style) spinach and not much more. There was essentialy no quinoa on it and a few pieces of dried out beets that I was hoping would be fresh but don't think they are- they look freeze dried! :( I don't like leaving negative reviews but it's an honest one Definite emphasis on the fast food part, no so much your typical thought out and carefully prepared vegan or vegetarian place. read more

My boyfriend is 100% vegan, we are visiting from out of state and made a point to stop here. Very impressive menu selection! Everything we had was delicious. My one and only complaint is they didn't have diet soda, but we loved our experience! Wish we had our own location back home! read more

Our first visit here - My husband and I grabbed lunch here after a walk. We were looking for someplace where we could do takeout and have something healthy. I ordered a Holy Guacamole burger with the hippie patty, no cheese (made from coconut which raises cholesterol), and with it wrapped in lettuce. My husband ordered the cheese burger w/o cheese & no onions. (They charge for grilled onions.) When we received our order, mine was correct but they added cheese to my husband's so we had to have There is no seating inside but plenty seating outside. There's a drive thru and a decent amount of parking. It was cold out so we opted for sitting in our car. Our second visit, I got the Holy Guacamole burger again with the hippie patty but got the cheese and bread this time. My husband got the Western burger w/o the bacon. My husband thought the cheese added flavor to the burger but it was lacking in sauce and it was not evenly spread out. I didn't think the cheese added anything to my burger and I must say I prefer it w/o the bread since I felt the bread took some of the flavor away or there wasn't much of the guac to make up for it. The sweet potato fries were a bit over cooked but the ketchup helped a bit. Overall, the burgers are decent and a better option than some other options out there. The photos are from the second visit. Overall, not a bad place to get burgers for a plant based place. read more

I liked it. I am a big big meat eater, my friend had been vegetarian for since he was little. I normally am on the pickier side. I don't like mustard, onions or pickles. My burger came with them and since I normally don't eat at a place like this. I didn't ask for them off. AMAZING move. I normally don't like when those topping over power my burger. This place prepares it jut right. Fire burger def gonna eat vegan more often. My friend said it's not his fav vegan burger but he did think they were good. So that's the opinion of an eat eater and a long time vegan. Our cashier was Marisol J and she did a great job helping us. I had poor eyesight but she was great helping me navigate there options. Def coming again and recommending to a friend. read more

My absolute favorite. I wish you had one in Orange County, but I will gladly drive to San Diego just to get your Big Zac!!! I love all your options. read more

Plant Power has a great selection of vegan food options. It's always a win for my child who happens to be a picky eater. My wife and I love the food too. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. read more

Everyone who works here is amazing! Love the big Zac, carne asada fries, and honestly everything here. I'm gluten free and they have so many great options for me.

I love the fact that there are vegetarian places to go! Drive through was quick, food was delicious but it seemed expensive... I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, got a small fry and it was $18. If you want a healthier drive through option you gotta try it. read more

Overpriced, highly processed, small portions, cooked in seed oils. They could do much much better but they don't. Nice idea but this food is toxic and not even that tasty for how bad it is for your health. You only eat here for convenience, but how convenient is inflammation and wasting your money on trash food that doesn't even taste that good or fill you up? It's a step away from McDonalds. read more

This place is Excellent! The food is amazing. It tastes incredible!. You wouldn't even know that it's completely Vegan and healthy. Great place to bring family. There's outside seating. Lots of people who eat meat eat there as well. That's because it's so yummy. read more

Always fresh food, very tasty i had the western burger and the sweet potato fries and also we had the buffalo chicken sandwich and iconic fries. read more

Vegan, yes. Healthier? Meh. If you're going for a meatless meal that tastes "normal" then go for it. I love having vegan alternatives but sometimes the calorie count, sodium and others aren't that friendly. It's a little pricey for "fast food" but their aren't many vegan places that taste as good as this. I got the crispy chicken sandwich and the chicken was a pretty big filet. The bun was a bit dry and tasteless. Their fries aren't the best a little on the oily side and not crunchy, maybe I'll ask for well done next time? I've heard their breakfast burritos are the best on the menu so I'm definitely coming back for that! read more

Plant Power Fast Food - Chicken Sandwich - Vegan Near Me - Encinitas, California

No longer good! It hurts me to write this review, but the truth is that this is no longer the 5 star place that it was. Our family has been coming here for a while and it had received a five star from me. The past three visits have been poor quality. At $80 for a burgers fries and a shake for three people it has to be good quality. This is no longer the case, it's still $80 but the quality is really bad. Our visit last night will sadly be our last. We arrived and were the only car in sight. We ordered a big Zac, plain cheese burger, chicken sandwich, two fries, one onion ring and three shakes (two peanut butter and one strawberry). The total was $80. When we got home the two peanut butter shakes were not mixed properly, as the was a scoop of peanut butter at the very bottom. My box of onion rings had five small rings inside. The big Zac was soggy and looked like it was just thrown together. The other two sandwhiches were good. Plant Power if you are charging restaurant prices for fast food, yes you do have healthy ingredients and that's why we lived coming here, but at these prices you have to have quality or people won't find the price vs quality worth it. Please let us know when you have addressed the issues and maybe we will give it another try, until then we won't be back and by the look of the parking lot, I'm not the only one noticing the decline in quality. read more

Plant Power Fast Food - Nashville Hot 'Chicken' Sandwich - Vegan Near Me - Encinitas, California

Disclaimer - this review is by a non-vegan, very much pro-meat person. This place caught my eye because it was a plant-based fast food chain with a drive-thru. Pretty cool. And the reviews are good. I looked at the menu and I have an open-mind palate. Menu is impressive right off the bad. All my fast food favorites right there. I had the "chickn" nuggets and cheeseburger. Cheeseburger was alright and a bit messy to eat. BUT THE NUGGETS! Wow. Pleasantly surprised and to tell you the truth, it is damn close to the real stuff. It was really, REALLLYYYY good! The ranch tastes different, but it's tolerable. I seriously wouldn't mind getting this again. Plus, I didn't feel like utter guilty crap after. I will say thought that because it's all plant-based, prices are a bit higher than your normal fast food (expected). But worth it, IMO. Try this place out and you'll be surprised as I was. read more

The food and the service are amazing. It' s a bit pricey but well worth it. The big problem are the pidgeons. I went there for lunch with my son and spent more time chasing the pidgeons away than eating. The whole pick up area was full of pidgeons floor and counter. read more

Tasty chicken and waffle sandwich. Will definitely return. Mellow atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating.

It's all about the Big Zac Making vegan fast food dreams a reality. Love the raw tacos as well!

Had been wanting to try plant power fast food for at least a year now. I decided on the chik'n wrap with fries. Very impressed at this being a vegan dish without soy. I checked ingredients before I decided. I would definitely go again read more

Delicious replicas of the fast food I used to enjoy previously to truly thinking about the perspective of the required victims. No victims are required for this place! read more

Prices are very reasonable and the drive through is convenient. The food tasted over processed. Came here one day to do drive thru and get some food. The whole place looked pretty clean. The process was pretty easy. Rolled up to the menu and ordered. Got the food, but everything tasted over processed, I guess I'm a carnivore so this plant based "meat" just tasted weird to me. Got a vegan milkshake made from oat milk and it tasted powdery and way too sweet. I can see why the vegans like this place but, I'd rather eat things I can understand in its original form. read more

We tried this place last night. I have to say it wasn't bad at all. Reading online this place is online ordering only and I do like that they were fast with no cross contamination of foods. I ordered a plant based burger that mimics a McDonalds Big Mac and it was tasty. I did get a gluten free bun. The cheez was fine and so was the plant based meat. I will order again and try something new from their menu. read more

Drive thru VEGAN FAST food!!! need I say more? I take all of my meat-eating friends here and they are all shocked that it's so good! The best thing on the menu is the Buffalo 66.. its spicy, fresh, crunchy and so filling. I tried the Big Zac burger (without the middle bun) and I really enjoyed it! We also got the cheesecake which was pretty soft instead of the traditional firm style you would find elsewhere.. I thought it made the dessert even better. Give this place a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm not a vegan but if food is good, it's good. And this food was really good. This place exceeded my expectations. Yes, it's a tad pricey but really, it's not that expensive. My Buffalo 66 wrap was excellent. I mean, it was really, really good. I honestly could not tell the difference between this and a similar Buffalo chicken type product. We also tried the Rambler (a take on the Carl's Jr. Western cheeseburger, I think) and it was also very good. We got the "beefy" patty. I was just a tad disappointed in the side of "chicken" nuggets we ordered. They were a little bland although the side of honey mustard sauce was outrageously good. Finally, we tried the cookies and cream milkshake. It was a little unusual, and had a bit of a chalky consistency, but overall, it was pretty good. I finished it, if that counts for anything. Would I return? Yes. The food is high quality and the taste is solid. I was very, pleasantly surprised how good this food was. read more

I got the breakfast burrito and honesty I was expecting worse than what I got the burrito was pretty big and was especially tasty. Pretty god for being vegan. The place looks kinda wild but the service was amazing. I'm definitely coming again. read more

I love the food here. However, I have to comment that the outdoor seating is closed. It was completely closed when I just tried to stop driving to San Diego. That means my option was to either eat messy food in my small car or stand in the parking lot and eat it. So I left, sad I couldn't enjoy one of my favorite places. If you aren't local and are going to stop, I'd recommend calling to see if the patio is reopened. Or you'll be standing in the parking lot eating. read more

Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even dessert! For breakfast, I love their sausage egg cheeze breakfast sandwiches, either on a croissant or English muffin. Their iced coffee is also delicious, I add the caramel flavoring, sweet and tasty. I like their Caesar salad or burgers for later in the day. I also will go out of my on a regular basis for their milk shakes. I combine the chocolate and cookies and cream. A little pricey, esp as and second flavor adds a dollar, so good though. read more
