6 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Castroville

“The food is very delicious, recommended but the waitress gave us terrible service. I think the owner is busy seeing that all the time he was in the cell. I am a waiter when I go to my tables at least I give them a fake smile. But my waitress had a terrible character.“

“As busy as the holidays become, and you're craving Birria but don't have the hours and hours to slow cook your delicious meal , you have to go to the next best option that would be here in Castroville! We came in on a Monday right about 6 o'clock. It wasn't too busy we were seated promptly. Our order was taken just as quickly and with all that being said, the food came out, fresh and flavorful and generous portions. Because this location has been a staple in Castroville for years , the ambience of the restaurant has not changed much since the central Texan minus the chips, but that's OK because the beautiful wood finishes are charming no matter what everything was clean and bright and that is always a good sign. We came during happy hour, and that meant you could get three queso Birria tacos for 10 bucks not bad if you ask me! We each ordered a plate of three and got shrimp cocktail and the Birria Ramen to share. Everything was flavorful, hot and delicious we personally like our Birria a little more spicy but I do understand you have to appeal to the masses with the restaurant For everybody to enjoy it not only spicy lovers like ourselves. The shrimp cocktail had an abundance of large shrimp, not the tiny salad shrimps you get at some restaurants and the Ramen was good but again I think it was just missing that little bit of spice that we were craving but again that's personal preference, so I cannot blame them for that. However they have incredibly amazing hot salsa that took care of our need for spice my wonderful hubby enjoyed it very much and said it was spicy so if he thinks it's spicy you know it's spicy good I highly recommend trying out this establishment if you're going to go on the weekends, you better go early as a Castroville native seeing the lines on the weekend makes me appreciate them being open during the weekdays lol And again, if your lines are that long, you're doing something right notable mention if you like the traditional Birria De chivo- you're in luck as they are serving up the classic style most people are looking for I know it's not it for everybody but if you know you know. Run don't walk and bring your appetite!“

“I love this place. They have a wonderful menu not only that they have a cozy place with an ambience of being in a garden where you can sit and eat. This is an old fashioned diner style restaurant with really great artichokes. I had the steamed artichoke which was the biggest freshest & most perfectly cooked artichoke I’ve ever had. I had the fried artichokes & artichoke bread, which is a sweet bread. Everything paled in comparison to the steamed artichoke. They also offer a fire roasted artichoke which sounds delicious.Castroville is known for its artichoke crop and for the annual Castroville Artichoke Festival, leading to its nickname as the "Artichoke Center of the World". #deliciousdisheswithpapiha #artichoke #castroville #california #restaurant“

“Waiting for our Vet appointment we decided to try this place. Although I frequent several places in this center I haven't gone into this bakery before. Well I had no idea what anything was except the bear claws. As stated in another post no almond paste but these were AMAZING. When the gal took my tray she tipped the tray and one danish fell to the ground in front of me. She quickly told me to get another. The bag was more than half full and just under $10. I was amazed. Took them home and the entire family enjoyed everything we picked out. So much better than donuts! We will be back.“

“I ordered huevos con tocina, comes with eggs, bacon, rice and beans. The tortillas are hand made and also a side of salsa. Very tasty. Service was really good and there was no wait time. Happy I found this place, a hidden gem. If I'm ever in town again I will definitely be coming back.“

“Long time local resident, first time eating there.It's bigger on the inside than it look from out front. Great service, very polite and prompt. The chili beans are the best in the area. Best chili beans I have tasted in a long time. I hope it doesn't change from cook to cook. I just wish the serving size was a little larger for a family, especially with the large order we had. The Tri-tip was cooked just right. It had a good pink color. The ribs are big but be careful of the large tendons that come with their cut of pork ribs. Great taste, they were not dry. Nice amount of garlic bread with our order. Cole slaw was also tasty and they give you a large amount. While we were waiting we saw some burgers but did not try them. They looked really good. We will go back again. A little pricey but what restaurant food isn't nowadays.“
