Best pure Vegan resto in North County, hands down.

Everything was super tasty! We got the burrata appetizer, the chicken sandwich, the carrot tacos, the veggie bowl (forgot the name sorry) and the chocolate mousse. Everything was SO GOOD but I highly highly highly recommend the carrot tacos!

I really wanted to love this place, but the experience was rather underwhelming. Native Foods was a long time favorite and I was so happy that another vegan restaurant took over the space. The vibes were great(chill hipster-hippie hybrid aesthetic) and they had a fun cocktail/mocktail menu, but the food was pretty meh. Would definitely order differently if I end up here again, but I'm not exactly clamoring to return. Shortly after our visit they switched to counter service only which was not surprising -- we went on a Friday night and there were only a few other tables occupied.

What I like the most about The Plot is their bold and creative menu. Their dishes will surprise you -- they still have classics, but some are very different from what you find in other "normal" vegetarian/vegan restaurants. On weekends they also have some nice vinyl music playing too! Highly recommend.

My carnivore husband surprised me with date night here. He loved the Pasole, Brussel sprouts, carrot fish tacos and the “Jackie” espresso dessert drink. I enjoyed the wine, pickles and seasonal pasta. But above the food the service was magnificent.

My new favourite vegan restaurant in OC, especially for an elevated dining experience. Service is excellent, Christian is one of the best/passionate servers I’ve come across in awhile at a restaurant, he really does his part in bringing the menu and concept of the restaurant to life! I love the glorification of vegetables and whole food ingredients at a vegan restaurant and this place does that in a beautiful way.

Such a great spot to catch up with a friend! Gabriella was awesome—super friendly and made sure our food was just right. Ordered: • KBBQ Kitchen Sandwich with truffled fries • Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken. We’re not huge on spice, but she nailed the perfect level of heat. Plus, the chef sent out a delicious , rich in flavor appetizer on the house! Definitely coming back for more!
