Hugo's

For more than twenty years, HUGO'S RESTAURANT has provided, unique, wonderful meals supposed with excellent service. RESERVATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED, PARTICULARLY ON WEEKENDS. We're a family of five with diverse dietary requirements. There are three carnivores (one with several allergies), a gluten-freer, and me, a vegan. Our family's table of choice is number nine. It's in the corner next to the window, with a view of the veranda's gently flowing water-wall. Hugo's expansive menu offers entrees from Mexico, Asia, Italy, and America. Many dishes can be modified to the diner's requirement. (Hugo's offers their eclectic menu at slightly more than moderate pricing.) Most selections are annotated with dietary information. Often, conventional, vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan versions of the same entree are offered. Many of the vegan meat analogs are made in Hugo's kitchen. While there are differences, these alternative, meatless, comfort foods provide much of the taste, texture, and "mouthfeel" of the originals. Our waiter, Kevork asked, "Do we have any food allergies?" One of our family is allergic to seafood and pineapple. He recorded that information to inform the kitchen. Our meals arrived in about fifteen minutes. For me, a long time vegan, it is usually a toss-up between, the Chicken Sandwich, Tamale Plate, BLT, Club, or Ruben. Occasionally, I alternate with the Chunky Vegetable Salad, Almond pancakes, or Pasta. These comfort food presentations are ample, well plated, and delicious. (My wife skillfully borrows a sample from my plate, then a second, just to be sure.) Hugo's desserts are unique and wonderful. Several, including the hot fudge sundae and Sticky Buns, are gluten-free and vegan. Always ask for an extra serving of the rich hot fudge. It's that good. My favorite, Sticky Buns, combines a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a crusty bottom. It is impossible to consume this pastry without cracking a smile. An Apple Sticky Bun version is now on the dessert menu. It is delicious. A single order is adequate for a table of four. Their servers are knowledgeable, easy-going, and considerate. Waiters, serving tables near us, furnish their customers with a similar level of courtesy. The bus staff is supportive. Hugo's is managed with care. Both dining room and infrared heated, covered veranda seating are offered. Dining is also offered in a large, heated tent in their parking lot. Telephone, pickup, and internet orders are accepted. Delivery service is available. Hugo's main entrance is from their free parking lot. A few steps or ramp allows easy access. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including the gender neutral bathrooms.

Excellent service, yummy food, tons of vegan options… BUT the feeling … the atmosphere just reminds you of a nursing home: Celine dion music, carpet on the floor, lights, pale colors, wooden tables, columns, the wall and chairs… bill though 65$ for two for cups of soup and mashed potatoes, yummy (and very greasy) , cauliflower pakora, chillaquilles and beer and delicious turmeric latte. This is no place for romantic Saturday night dinners but totally a bday party or family reunion due to the versatile menu. Highlight a cosy outdoor seating with lights and of corse a colorful mural painting… which actually lures you with cool exterior and then disappoints you with the plain seating area.

Great place for every time of the day. Their food is very delicious. Most of them are already healthy options. They have breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner. Patio outside is heated and pet friendly. It’s pretty sunny outside but great for a cold day. They welcomed dogs really well. The table near me had their furry friend fed too. Parking was a bit limited but I went around 11am and found it’s pretty easy to find. When I leave, cara had to wait around 5-10 minutes for the space. Right off 101 freeway then turn right and sharp left.

Hugo's has a large menu with so many options to choose from! I appreciated that there were many vegetarian and vegan options, it seemed like almost every dish could be made to suit you. I tried the pesto sandwich with tofu on ciabatta. The tofu was a hefty piece so it was almost difficult to eat the sandwich without it falling out! There was about a 15 minute wait around 1 pm on a Saturday.

I'll make this quick and simple as we all gotta move on with our lives. 🤙 Parking is not a problem ✅ Great tasting food. Check menu ✅ Friendly staff ✅ Indoor/outdoor ✅ Restroom ✅ Price is reasonable ✅ again, great food! If you find this helpful, feel free to follow for more accurate reviews. 🤙 Enjoy! 😎
