RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS!!! - Edit
RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS — that’s how we describe Maciel’s Plant-Based Butcher Shop @maciels.plant.butcher. We make an excuse to stop here every time we are even close to the Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles. Their sandwiches are beyond amazing — the steak and bleu cheese is hands-down our favorite. And, their desserts are truly the icing on the cake of a delightful vegan culinary experience. We usually buy vegan cheeses for later. Incredibly helpful staff. And, we always seem to meet the nicest people while dining in the restaurant, too. Thank you and gracias, Maciel’s!!!

OMG! So good! - Edit
I was in the area and found this gem on the app! It was recommended to have The Flores and is was outstanding. Expertly crafted, full of amazing flavors, great texture, fresh and filling. I also had the potato salad which was also great. Also a large selection of vegan cheeses and other delectables to take home. This is a can’t miss! I’ll be back in a few days.

Very impressed - Edit
Get The Flores! It’s one of my favorite sandwiches in LA.
Read moreI’ve loved everything I’ve ever ordered at Maciel’s. The breakfast burrito? Amazing. The Reuben? Perfect. The French toast? Even my toddler loves it. I’m not big on faux meat, but most of their proteins are made in-house and they are delicious.
This place is a gem and the staff are great.

Insanely good - Edit
Cannot go wrong. We got the rueben, the Smokey, the coleslaw, the spiced cake, the mint brownie, and the hibiscus tea. Everything was the best I’ve ever had, with large portions and great service. Definitely worth the drive. Come hungry!!

Best sandwiches - Edit
I'm not in this area much, but when I am I have to stop here. Top notch sandwiches, friendly help. I've never had a bad item here, not even a mediocre item. The Ruben is fat and loaded. The Smokey is a flavor explosion. The Pastrami French Dip scratched that umami itch.
Read moreJust had the Green Burrito with chorizo. So good! Next time I will get it as a bowl though, the tortilla didn't stand up to the job.

This is how vegan food should be made - Edit
So many good options here, and we got chicarones with salsa, a tuna melt, and the brisket burrito. Everything was super flavorful and cooked to perfection. Delicious food that is sure to please anyone!

Must-Try Vegan Sandwiches & Decadent Desserts - Edit
Maciel’s delivers LA’s finest plant-based sandwiches with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Standouts include the crave-worthy vegan Reuben and Italian sandwich, praised as "the best ever" by regulars. Don’t miss their desserts—the caramel pecan bar and churro pound cake are heavenly. Friendly staff and easy parking enhance the experience. While the grill aroma inside is strong, the quality justifies a detour. Perfect for vegans and foodies alike!

Delicious - Edit
Maciel’s has an amazing menu of sandwiches. Their meats and cheeses are fresh, home made and delicious! The only real downside is the lack of proper ventilation, so it reeks of grill smell inside. I chose to eat out because of it.

Wish I could visit all the time - Edit
Passing through the area and had to stop as I’ve heard so much about this place. Got the pesto chicken sandwich and blonde bar. The sandwich was amazing, and the bar quite good. Also picked up a side of chorizo and queso to take home. It looked like they had some delicious specials on the board that day too. Everything I heard about it turned out to be true and it was worth the detour to visit.

Dang good food. - Edit
I had the Tuscan sandwich. Excellent - maybe a little heavy on the arugula but delicious. The side salads were decent (egg, potato (needed salt), and macaroni (was a little hard)). But the stars were the desserts. Daaamn. The caramel pecan bar and churro pound cake blew me away. They were the stars.

Yum!! We never get to have sammies!! - Edit
This was delish. We got the chicken pesto and the Californian. Chicken pesto was my fave, along with the queso and chips. The queso is more like that one cheez recipe, with cashews and potatos and carrots— you know that one? Aka delicious as heck. But more like that than queso. So happy to have gone here.

Tasty Food + Novel Concept - Edit
I really liked the idea of a plant-based butcher. I wish they had a shop like this near me. I had the “Messy Biscuit” and it was really tasty and well proportioned. The biscuit itself was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The jalapeños gave it a nice boost of flavor spice, and overall it had a pleasant, not too heavy taste profile. Highly recommend.

Delicious, gourmet deli - Edit
Delicious sandwiches and sides, like a high-end deli. The pastrami French dip is mind-blowing and the egg salad sandwich is the best I've had, vegan or otherwise. Love the potato salad and the strawberry lemonade is delicious. Lots of baked treats , too. This place is such a gem.
