Phatties

I met Peter N from Carlsbad Foodies at Phatties, Escondido last week.

Phatties is a very small vegan place, and similar to the review we did at Thanh Tinh Chay, it is built with and the food is made with, love.

I order the Taquitos de Papa, which is five rolled crunchy taquitos with salsa verde, smashed potatoes, with spicy tomatillo sauce, lettuce, vegan sour cream, red cabbage, diced tomato and cilantro. Other than the fact that the taquitos are fried (which all taquitos are but I ordered it anyway with a side of rice and beans) it was absolutely mouth watering delicious and really a lot of food for very little money. I also order a salad. Very good ingredients!

Peter orders the Ceviche Mango Tostado Salad. This is soy meat marinated in lime juice, diced mango, cilantro, purple onion, avocado, diced tomato and jalapeño served on or separately, two crispy tostadas. Peter enjoys his dish as much as I do mine. He also orders soup. Another good choice!

Not just vegan. This is authentic Mexican food.

Very happy to have two new restaurants to add to vegan restaurants I can recommend!

ALL VEGAN and phreaking phantastic! I pronounce Phatties like "fat-ees" primarily because it matches the size of their food (which is a great thing!). This gem is so good especially if you are looking for Vegan Maxican food which some people tell me is an oxymoron *shoulder shrugg*.

There are plenty of indoor seating options though it is pretty cozy inside. Their burritos and quesadillas are HUGE and very flavorful. Some of my recommendations are: Breakfast burrito, Phatties burrito and their quesadilla con papas. They also have some vegan desserts. From my experience the workers have been friendly and accommodating. I typically call in my order to go and it's ready within 15-20 minutes. Fast, mouth watering, satisfying and Vegan! The first time will leave you wanting more *wink*.

Checks every box, authentic flavorful, delicious vegan!! Highly recommended

PS Phattie burrito is insane

Good Mexican food the vegan version. Not healthy at all so I definitely won't be back often when I'm in town. But if you want to indulge every now and again or this is your typical diet, fried and processed food that's vegan with lots of gluten but good flavor overall, then you may like this place. I'm sure meat eaters would love this food as well.

Legit vegan- Mexican food!
The food is delicious!
Pricing is average.
Location is pretty easy to get to.
The spot itself is not flashy or even cute. It's regular booth / table & chair seating. Seat yourself style with the menu posted outside in the window.

Anyways, we got a few items and we were super happy with all of them! We actually ordered some more to go, lol.

Definitely stop in for some yummy satisfying food.

Incredible food, we were blown away by how good everything is. We will be coming back for the mushroom Birria!!

This is a delicious vegan option for Mexican food in the area. Everything I've tried has tasted great. They have vegan birria on the weekends which is made with mushrooms and it is packed with flavor. The California or the Phatties burritos are also my favorite go-tos. They also have unique vegan "meat" options that I haven't seen offered in many other places before like huitlacoche which is like a corn fungus, which I really enjoyed discovering here. There's a few tables inside which probably seats about 20 people total but I usually order takeout which is pretty quick about 10-15 min and they'll give you a buzzer. Highly recommend this place for non vegans to try as well!

Stopped here after looking for vegan restaurants in Escondido. Wow so many choices and great clean vegan Mexican food.  Large portions as well. Good homemade sauces and salsas as well. Very friendly staff and great service We will be back.

It's so nice to find vegan options!
This place is 2 thumbs up all the way. Wonderful staff, EXCELLENT food! So much freshness and flavor!
Everyone's meal was top notch!
We drove all the way out here to rent a car and got screwed over... So we were in a bad mood... This place changed our attitudes real quick!!
Wish we lived here... We'd eat here all the time!!!

Super tiny, they have 4 booths and then 4 tables of 2 in a row that can be pushed together for larger parties. You have to look at the menu outside before you order inside. You order at the counter and seating is first come first serve. They bring the food over to you once ready. It's super nice that they will give you a cup and container of water, very appreciated. Saturday lunch time this place was packed I got one of the last available ta
Parking lot what availability but was pretty small.
I got the green enchiladas super delicious, great complex flavor with lot of good ingredients. I'm almost never in this area but so glad I got to try so delicious all vegan restaurant !
