Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Ysidro

"Superfood Acai Bowl at Trilogy Sanctuary|Courtesy of Sanctuary. Trilogy Sanctuary is a yoga studio, as well as a café serving vegan fare. The menu offers smoothies, bowls, salads, soups, and desserts on top of heartier fare like vegan pasta and burgers."

"Plumeria Vegetarian Restaurant is an upscale Thai and vegetarian restaurant at the end of Park Boulevard in University Heights that offers an outstanding vegan dining experience. 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."

"Everyone knows that San Diego is BIG but to be honest until the past 10 years the food scene was pretty predictable with mainly big tourist restaurants and unknown and unmemorable neighborhood eateries. However this has changed with celebrity chefs opening up shop and local chefs feeding their neighborhoods. There are plenty to choose from but here are my top picks for the Best of the Rest in San Diego dining."

"Spacious restaurant, high ceilings plenty of distance between patrons and mask optional. Delicious, light food at a reasonable price. Tasty infused drin..."

"Evolution offers all the convenience of a fast food restaurant, including a drive-thru, but serves an entirely vegetarian and vegan menu. That means burgers, sandwiches, tacos, fries, chicken tenders, smoothies, shakes, desserts, and even a few raw options. Everything is made in-house, and the containers and utensils are environmentally friendly."

"What we found: Evolution is the original vegan drive-through restaurant in San Diego. The menu features fast food classics like burgers, fries, sandwiches, wraps, as well as such California musts as burritos, tacos, and smoothies. There’s also a number of pre-made desserts stacked in a refrigerated showcase by the register."

"I've come to evolution many times prior to covid and had pleasant experiences. Today, was very unpleasant. Our burger was wrong.."

"Came here on Saturday evening - party of 3 and there was plenty of seating available!. We don't eat onion and garlic and I saw the menu had some item..."

"Another great brunch spot that I used to go to all the time when I lived in North County. It has a Mexican food twist to all the dishes, but super CLEAN & fresh. I get the yin & yang breakfast which is rosemary potatoes, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, red bean, avocado, cheese, sour cream, salsa, & a tortilla (I add poached eggs on top) & their golden fairy dust latte which is chai tea, ginger, cinnamon, sub the soy milk for almond milk… to die for!!!"

"First, choose between a basic buttermilk or organic whole grain gluten-free batter for your pancakes. Then, add the toppings of your choice from wild blueberry to toasted coconut and mango. Moreover, there are vegan pancakes too."

"El Jardin chef and partner Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins starred on Top Chef and Top Chef Mexico, but this is far from a vanity project. The regional Mexican restaurant in Arts District Liberty Station is deeply personal. The chef grew up in Tijuana..."

"It’s a dark, nondescript bar in Banker’s Hill that looks like a spot your grandpa would frequent in the middle of the day. What sets this place apart though, are the huge burgers. They have a ton of options, but the California Burgito is our go-to."

"Dank chicken sandwich and the garlic on the fries really slaps!. Definitely laid back but high quality customer service. This is a go-to spot fo..."

"El Cajon’s Burning Beard Brewing is open for dine-in and take out of crowlers, new growlers, and bottles. Call ahead or stop by for pick-up."

"Handcrafted, small-batch beers are the name of the game at Kilowatt. The master brewers at this eclectic neighborhood beer palace continually tweak their recipes for optimal color, flavor, bouquet, and balance. This commitment to experimentation means the beer list is always brimming with fantastic flavors and uncommon variety."

"The Barrio Logan distillery is open Tuesday - Sunday for dine-in and take out. Order online here for pickup or delivery for their food, wine, and spirits."
