11 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ladera Ranch

“We came here on a Saturday in between games for our two son’s basketball tournament. It was great! We were able to sit on the patio and watch the NBA playoff game. About an hour in the live music started, which was so fun and entertaining. The margaritas were 10 out of 10. The bottomless chips were delicious! They were even able to deal with my onion allergy (I know ?) and made me a delicious grilled chicken without onions. My husband had the enchilada and taco combo and said it was excellent, the only thing he changed on Sunday (yes it was so good we went back ?) was adding a flour tortilla to the enchilada instead of the corn. My mom had the three taco sampler and my dad had the shrimp tacos. We came back Sunday and celebrated my belated birthday with our kids. Two of them enjoyed the 3 taco sampler with carne asada and chicken. Like my husband they opted for flour tortillas. And my other son got the enchilada and taco combo, which he loved! We can’t wait to go back again!Dietary restrictions: They were great accommodating my onion and gluten allergies“

“I'm impressed with the many selections of entrees on their menu and the drink options as well. I ordered the veggie egg scramble (with egg whites) which came with potatoes and a yummy homemade biscuit. The house margarita was very good too but was a little small for me and on the saltier side. I love that the portions are generous and that when I asked for pico de gallo they returned with a big portion of that as well. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles entree, and although I am unable to enjoy dishes like hers I looked over and drooled a little. Lol Best part is our server was amazing!! John was so accommodating and always checked on us. His drink service was top tier.“

“I've been going here for 13 yearsThe quality of food and service has never taken a dip in that time.As long as they are around they will always be a staple in my culinary Rolodex -Kid-friendliness: The staff all love my two boys - They will always bring a little something for them out if They get restless while waiting for the food ?“

“We've eaten here twice now, and it is such a hidden gem! The lentil soup was great, as well as all the chicken kabobs we have tried. Their rice is really good as well. The food is fresh and flavorful. It was nice to see on their website that they cook with olive oil. I also appreciate that they don't pack their hot food in plastic. This will be part of our regular rotation!“

“Though I am plant-forward, there are few things here that I can order such as the salad, edamame and the bento box (though I ended ip giving the shrimp tempura to a friend that I did linch with). Service is very good. Love how they keep the bathroom clean and love the orchid touch in the wash basin!“

“Very good option for Thai food, the taste of the food is very good, the presentation and freshness of the ingredients. They also take care of the atmosphere, music and impeccable treatment of the waitresses, who are very friendly and make sure that nothing is missing. 100% recommended.“

“Wow! What great service at this location in Ladera Ranch! It's so rare to find someone going above and beyond in customer service these days (ever since Covid). I had been craving a big salad and will come here every so often. I did a BYO and they didn't have the option to mark "spinach" so I had forgotten but the cashier (I think the manager?) reminded me and asked me if I wanted that too and I was like, omg that's why I came here, yes! Then she realized that they had run out so this amazing woman offered to go get some for me!!! She dashed out to the grocery store nearby and I got the salad I was craving! Thank you to this kind person for going the extra mile to make sure my meal was what I wanted! I'll be back!“

“This was my first time ordering from here and let me tell you just WOW! I ordered the Sriracha Honey Sunrise and I added Avocado, Ham and Sun Dried Tomato spread in addition. I also got egg whites instead for my order. I got a lil hash brown on the side. The bagel was super delicious will definitely order it again but with easy sriracha honey cream cheese spread next time. It's not spicy it's like sweet with a tiny kick. I did not like the hash brown not what I expected it's super soft and I just did not like the taste. Will order the hash brown again? Maybe but this time really crispy just to see if there's a difference in texture and taste. Will definitely come back again and try something different.“

“As good as I remembered. Me: Blackened Chicken Burrito, wet with the Red Sauce. She: Carnitas burrito (also with red sauce) A really good food spot hits their mark consistently over a long period of time (years). One of the reasons I moved to Ladera Ranch was to be within walking distance of this Crown Valley spot - which has been awesome since a friend first introduced me to Taco Mesa back in 2003. I moved away in 2018 and have never found a better burrito since, but will make it a point to visit this Taco Mesa any time I'm back in town. Best ever? Well, I'm not dead yet so 100% yes.“

“This is our go-to pizza place in Ladera. We love the taste of the fresh pies and the constant availability of the delicious take-and-bakes. Today, Dave was working and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me out. How refreshing to have amazing customer service in the midst of the struggles in our society today. Thank you! -Steve“

“This place is a gem for breakfast. It has everything you need. Great service, coffee always refilled. Excellent food and specials. Adults 55 and over have access to value seniors meals. They also have great specials. I went twice last week.“
