Lazy Hippo — Restaurant in San Diego

It's open! It's the same spot as the Whiskey House! I know it's a bit confusing just go with it. The store fronts are right next from each other.

First time here, super excited after seeing the reviews. The vegan menu is a bit small 3 items but the vegan enchiladas with soyrizo (+$2) is delicious! It's topped with fresh avocado, pick de Gallo and shredded lettuce. Put a few dabs of Cholula hot sauce and it's perfection. I cleared that plate so quick. I love vegetables on everything I eat, even if it's a side dish. I really liked the avocados on top and the shredded lettuce it added a fresh crisp crunch to the soft enchiladas. The soyrizo added that extra flavor. I would order that again. Might try the vegan breakfast burrito next.

Indoor and outdoor seating available. It's inside the whiskey house so there is a bar and comfy couch seating area. Inside is very dark and chill. Loved the music it was on point that morning.

Service, was good. A bit slow when it comes to the check. But they kept checking in on us and made sure we got everything we needed. Hostess was super accommodating we moved 3 times since it was cold. Will be back!

Parking is paid metered...

Food was so-so and service was lacking. The hostess also serves as the busser so was understandably harried and annoyed. Wait staff was fine. This place is known for their fresh squeezed juices so I ordered the pineapple cucumber ginger concoction. Waiter said it would take a half hour to make it and if I wanted something now I could only get orange juice. So I got the orange juice, which was very good. I always prefer it when restaurants make their own veggie patties for veggie burgers instead of using Beyond or Impossible burgers so decided to try the house-made black bean burger. It wasn't horrible. A bit salty and the patty was burned and crunchy on the outer edges. The fries were hard and greasy on the outside and chalky on the inside. Recommend swapping them out for the breakfast potatoes, which I saw on the table next to me. They looked decent although I haven't tried them. The decor and atmosphere were pleasant. The menu has interesting things on it. Great ideas albeit not particularly well executed. A bit overpriced for...

After having a terrible experience with a snotty hostess around the corner, we came here in a rush. A very nice waiter seated us immediately and understood our rush. We ordered quickly, getting some coffee and the super special (2 eggs, 2 meats, potatoes and a pancake) within 10 minutes. It’s difficult to mess breakfast up, but theirs was on point anyways. The eggs were done sunny side up right, the pancake was light and fluffy, and their chorizo was fantastic with a nice spice hint. The coffee was even pretty good. We ate and left pretty quickly, but did not get to really experience the place much. Honestly, I’d prefer this place to the other local establishments since it’s got the same atmosphere and great food. I’m in San Diego fairly often, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be coming back here.

Note that a lot of the pictures seem different. This is because they have two areas, one of which is a whiskey house that looks pretty awesome. They have one large selection of drinks,...
