We always like to support vegan restaurants when traveling. Tonight we had a half appetizer plate of the mushroom nachos covered with a delicious creamy cashew sauce with pickled beets, mushroom asada and cilantro. Hands down winner of tonight’s meal! For main courses we shared the crunchwrap, which was crispy and wonderfully flavored with layers similar to nachos. The only negative were the sopas, very bland and not like what you see in their on line photos. Just mushrooms, later of beans and about a 5″ disc of a sopa. And at $28 very much over priced and underwhelming. Grateful we ordered other items besides these, otherwise a lower rating overall. The vibe was nice inside, could have been a bit warmer, and the bathrooms smelled like a sewer, a clean sewer that is…with a smell. Dress the sopas up and get some better fragrance going in the bathroom. Will visit again just for the nachos!

Wow! Yum. What a vegan’s paradise! I thought the marigolds and passionfruit were for sale because they were so abundant! Thanks, chef, for the gift! The chilaquiles had thin, crunchy onions, amazing verde, and it was 3 entire meals!! Big portions. Kids loved the breakfast foods and fresh cucumber drinks! Elotes crunch, or whatever it was called, was scrumptious! Such a treat. Come here and you won’t be disappointed.

Dreamy vegan spot in dreamy Santa Barbara. The all vegan menu is sensational. The food is super delicious and healthy and tastes like someone with experience and artistry prepared it. Definitely try their brunch menu as well as it has items that aren’t available on the main menu (the pancakes are insane). The atmosphere is light and cheerful and chill. This place plays music that will make you way cooler than before you walked in. Cannot wait to come back again. Highly recommend you try Rascal’s!

I really enjoyed this — really high quality vegan interpretations of classic dishes with high quality ingredients. I loved the lighting (dim without being dark) and the staff (very sweet, clear and helpful). The horchata margarita (current seasonal marg) was a lovely treat, and the charros were such a pleasant finish to a delightful meal.

Fantastic. I was visiting last weekend and had time before my flight for lunch. I googled and was fortunate to be near Rascal’s. My friend and I shared two dishes recommended by our server, a crunchy breakfast wrap and a tofu bowl, apologies for not naming them exactly. Both dishes were excellent- fresh, savory, juicy, and absolutely delectable. The fresh salsas were great too. Even the music was great. To stumble across such a find, especially as a vegan, was phenomenal. Go there now :).

We were in town for dinner and had a great experience so we decided to come back the next day for brunch. Everything was great, brunch crunchwrap was the best! Very cozy and cute inside. Will definitely stop by next time we visit SB

Was in town on vacation and always look for local vegan eateries. Rascal’s stood out with a dedicated vegan menu. Other eateries in the area had vegan options but none were dedicated vegan. We arrived shortly after opening and was seated promptly. Laura was our server; she’s friendly, efficient and well seasoned. She was working the whole floor and was soon to get slammed with a full restaurant as well as handling all the take out orders one after the other. Service did not suffer in the least and the food was delicious! I got the shiitake mushroom sopes and my partner had the special birria ramen for dinner and shared the guava cheesecake for dessert. Everything was PERFECT! We will be back and highly recommend this place for vegans and vegan friendly. ️

Server was nice and looked pretty good. The chips and guac were really good as well as the salsa, and that was where the pros ended. We ordered the food and when it came, it looked appetizing until the first bite. I couldn’t taste anything except for ketchup, and that’s all I could smell as well. The only one that didn’t taste exactly like ketchup was so simple I could have made it better at home and saved my money. They earned a star for the chips and guac and one more star for effort.

Very fresh all vegetarian Mexican food. We tried cauliflower and mushroom tacos. Both were very good. Services was good as well.

Has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The pambazo and then the churros for dessert were sensational! (Non-vegan husband also agreed) What a find on our holiday. Lovely staff and atmosphere too.
