Ziggy's — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

The best new vegan restaurant! At least that's what a sign says inside. I'm not surprised, their food is delicious, but I'm not impressed by the sign. How many new restaurants are there in the area? Then out of those new restaurants, how many of them are vegan? I'm assuming not that many. Also what are they classifying as new? Is a restaurant still "new" after a month, 6 months, a year? What's new?!?! I need some direction here. Are new restaurants classified the same way as newborns? A baby is a newborn up until 2 months. After that they are just born. Is it the same for new restaurants? Or are new restaurants like newlyweds and no one really knows when they're not newlyweds no more. Or are new restaurants like the news. I feel like the news is not new news as soon as the next day's news comes out. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. "New" is starting to lose all its meaning to me. I wonder if I opened a newspaper stand, could I get a sign that says, "best new newspaper stand"? I'm assuming I'd be the only newspaper stand in the area...who reads newspapers anymore? Even if there was a competing newspaper stand, I'd definitely be the best "new" one. Maybe one day I'll do that, so I can finally be the best at something. Anyways, I wasn't impressed by Ziggy's "best new vegan restaurant" sign, but I was thoroughly impressed by their...

Food:5/5 Ambiance: 4/5

My order is as shown in pictures: 1 Baja taco 1 avocado 🥑 taco 🌮 Dirty fries Korean cauliflower bites KCB Avocado egg rolls

When I consider vegan food I expect a good amount of veggies and a good component to balance that much green. Baja tacos are the best representation of that. Also, it’s a good taco but it could’ve used a bit more sauce then it’ll be mind blowing. Tip: use avocado egg rolls dipping sauce.

Avocado tacos are good. Good amount of kale and greenery. Instant kick of avocado as well. Avocado egg rolls are good. I mean I was craving for BJ’s avocado egg roll but since BJ’s is not available in 50 miles radius so I tried the one in ziggy’s. Absolutely amazing. Dipping sauce is good. Rolls are perfectly crispy and tasty. These rolls are must have.

We were still hungry after 2 tacos and avocado egg rolls so thought of taking dirty fries and KCB to go. Boy did we were more wrong. We ate till we are completely full. KCB comes with a ranch side and it balances the sweet taste of that Korean sauce perfectly. Slight too sweet for my taste but thanks to that ranch it’s just perfect. Dirty fries are too much. These are comparable to animal style fries from In n out.

Tip: get 1-1 taco each and avocado rolls and share the fries. Believe me, you’ll love it but won’t be able to...

We recently visited this place.. NOTE - Its a take out only place.. something we didn’t realize until we got there. Luckily they had a couple of small tables and as a party of two we managed to grab a spot to enjoy our meal onsite. The food came in takeaway boxes which added to the casual on the go vibe of the place.

Our order included Phoenix burger, Baja and avocado tacos and Dirty fries. Each dish brought its own unique flair to the table but burger really stood out for me. It was bursting with amazing flavors and had just the right amount of spice.. no need for extra hot sauces which is unusual for me.

My wife was a big fan of both tacos. They were packed with flavor and although I added some habanero sauce for an extra kick, they were delicious on their own. Note - their habanero sauce was a fiery treat!!

Riding on the high of our initial choices we decided to try the Korean cauliflower for the road swayed by the Yelp reviews which said how great they are. Unfortunately they didn’t quite match our taste buds.. a bit too sweet for our liking. We tried them with ranch and habanero sauce but we wouldn’t go for them again.

definitely planning a return trip for that fantastic burger the next time...
