"If you’re looking for a unique vegan experience in San Diego, don’t miss out on Kindred, an eccentric bar in Golden Hill that features death metal music and a fully vegan menu. Probably the best thing about this place, besides the vegan options, is the decor and overall atmosphere. Think punk, a little edgy, but still classy in its own way."

Boasting a menu focused on South Asian cuisine with a particular focus on Thai flavors, the restaurant promises a culinary feast of dishes such as pumpkin curry in red curry sauce, mock chicken satay with peanut sauce, glass noodles with mixed vegetables and tofu, and petite flower-shaped crispy wonton cups. The environmentally-friendly restaurant also offers a dollar discount for to-go customers who bring their own food containers."

"Upscale in decor but modest in price, Plumeria sits just at the very north end of Park Blvd. Featuring a menu based around South Asian cuisine, with an emphasis on Thai food, it’s the perfect place for a savory, spicy meal with menu items that eschew fish sauce and other animal products, save for an optional egg in a few instances. As with most South Asian food, Plumeria leans heavily on the spices, though these are adjustable to your taste."

You might not think the words “healthy” and “fast food” could be in the same sentence, but vegan fast food eateries have changed the game, offering healthy meals on the go. I used to only be able to find sit-down vegan restaurants that would take ages to prepare the food (sorry Cafe Gratitude, I’m looking at you)."

Take her superlative opah chorizo."
