    1274535759. Shrimp Tacos
    Halle J.

    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!

    Best food and service and ambiance that you can get any where in SD. My wife found this hidden gem and keep coming back again again. Great options if you are eating healthy or love good carne asada. ,The music and atmosphere is so unique.

    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!

    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.

    Isha P.

    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.

    $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.

    Vegan . Two Tj Tacos

    Decent food and a great spot for vegetarians--lots of options to choose from. The ambience is nice and comfortable. Parking can be tough in this area, so be prepared to walk a bit or use paid parking.

    This place is so cool for celebrating special occasions…read more We celebrated our anniversary and they gave us a candle with our names on it!! So sweet The interior is so cool - very gothic medieval vibes inside!! We tried a couple of items but specifically LOVED the squash blossom and the crab donut and the duck memelita! The fried chicken tacos were pretty good as well Personally I did not love the fondue - comes with corn tortillas on the side - it's not my favorite style Drinks were great - I tried the guava Paloma and liked it a lot but wish it was a bit more sweet more guava flavor

    Four of us dined at Quixote last night. I can see why it takes a few weeks to get a reservation…read more The place is truly magnificent. We ordered about six small plates, and they were all delicious and unique. Hard to pick a favorite. I'd say the shrimp tacos were absolutely incredible. Everything else was packed with flavor and very different than anything you will encounter at any other restaurant. It is special. My only complaint is that the place is so dark that you can barely read the menu. Also, being so dark, you can't get a good look at the food or even see color. And I would think that the food is beautifully presented. We are in our 60s. That might have something to do with our inability to see anything in that low light condition. We had to pull our phones out so that we could light up the menu and check out the food we were about to eat. It does make for a dramatic ambience. There are thousands of candles that add to the experience. But I gotta knock them a point because I couldn't see my food or read the menu without help.

The gentleman/waiter handed us the menu and went on his way. Chips and salsa along with waters for the table were brought and then that was when the service of our waiter went downhill. We ordered the ahi tuna and guacamole for our appetizers but the timing for the meal was so off. It was a long wait before the waiter even checked back on us and which is when I asked for a refill on my water and chips. We had order drinks as well. The smoked old fashion was good and the ahi tuna appetizer portion was plentiful. There were some parts of the diced ahi that was a bit chewy. The gaucamole portion was large and it wasn't until I asked another waiter did my refill of water and chips arrive. For entree, we got the scallops with corn cake, a salad and I had the poblano burger. I asked for the burger to be cooked to medium. When the entrees arrived my burger was overcooked with no pink in sight. The flavor of the burger was good but the burger was definitely dry as can be. The corn cake with scallop was interesting it was almost like the corn cake was a croquet that encased a corn salsa. Overall the food was okay but the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter and the end seemed to put up a fake act when the check came. Since we asked for the check it seemed like the waiter was on hyper speed. Overall the view is nice but the food and service did not meet the expectations.
