Has anyone been this place?

I'm looking for a good vegetarian restaurant with reasonable prices.

Seriously, I just got a simple salad/vegetable plate because the Tofu Pork chops looked absolutely gross. It was one of those ripoff salads with the bottom two inches just lettuce chunks mostly cut near the core, with tiny little portions of the "good" stuff piled on top to make it look colorful. The "home made" salad dressing was tasteless, the ingredients were incompatible and wouldn't "mix" and was so thin it just fell right through to the bottom of the bowl without adding any flavor. I think it was $9. They had like three exotic flavors of fufu tea and no "normal" tea. The wait staff was rude and pretentious. I was checking out what the other people were getting and my perception was that the food they were serving had an un-appetizing appearance, tiny portions, and was massively overpriced. Over all I thought they just plain sucked.

I tried a lot of vegetarian restaurants when I had a Buddhist boyfriend. And I just happen to be a big fan of tofu; so I was really disappointed that every dish tasted the same at every restaurant. I think it's better just to find a regular "omnivore"(?) restaurant you trust and ask them to prepare something special. Most places have a few dishes than can easily go completely vegetarian, and everyone was always happy to prepare them for us.

at Taco and Viva Las Espuelas.

Thanks for the responses. I wanted to find a place to take my mom for her birthday.

For me, I like a nice, medium to rare rib eye but I will go a couple of weeks without meat once in a while.

The couple of vegan restaurants I went to in Cali were horrible and overpriced. I think I will just take her to a place with a good salad bar.

[Buddy Holly]

Take her to Souper Salad.

Thank you for the suggestion.

My favorite vegetarian food is bean and cheese nachos.

[Jekka]

Twin Sisters is good, and there's also the Cove over on Cypress which is very reasonably priced - they specialize in seafood tacos, but they have a good selection of vegetarian items. Their sweet potato fries are awesome.

[CuckingFunt]

Their sweet potato fries are awesome.

Mmmmmmmmm... yam fries.

[Shelly]

Sweet Potato fries are to die for.

The Oasis on Medina Lake makes some good ones. They make a pretty good margarita, too.

[Oh, Gee!!]

you can get a lot of vegetarian dishes at vietnamese restaurants
