Vegetarian Restaurants and Stuff in San Diego
As a vegan living in San Diego I've developed a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of local vegetarian restaurants for dining out, or where to buy produce to eat in.
Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants in San Diego
- Jyoti Bihanga
- In Normal Heights
Standard veggie food, which isn't common in San Diego. All vegetarian and vegan menu. Try the "Neat Loaf". - Ranchos Cocina Mexican and Vegetarian Cuisine
- In North Park and Ocean Beach
A huge menu of Mexican favorites, not all vegetarian. Try the soy chorizo burrito. - Pokez
- In East Village
Great Mexican food, not all vegetarian, funkier and smaller than Ranchos. Try the tofu fajitas. - Sipz

Asian Fusion, mostly vegan, all vegetarian, try the "Chicken" with Basil. - Vegan Zone
- In Pacific Beach
Asian Fusion/Thai, all vegan. Try the Buddha's Delight.
Buying Produce in San Diego
- Henry's Marketplace
- All over SD
A big produce section in every store, always some fantastic produce specials. A smaller organic section. - Ocean Beach People's Organic Foods Co op
- In Ocean Beach
If you live anywhere OB you have to try People's! Tons of great organic, and no stinky fish or meat counter. - Whole Foods Market
- In Hillcreat and La Jolla
The national chain has some fantastic eats for vegetarians. Pricey, but top notch stuff! - Jimbo's ...Naturally!
- In Carlsbad, Del Mar Heights, Escondido
If you are up in North County you have to try Jimbos. It's a lot like Whole Foods. - Windmill Farms
- In Del Cerro
A lot like Henry's, but just one store - not a chain. If you are near SDSU try Windmill. I live near this store, so I go there once or twice a week. - SD Farmers Markets
- All over SD
If you live near a farmers market these are great to add to your shopping schedule. Some of the best are Hillcrest, Ocean Beach, and La Jolla.
Other Veg Things in SD
- All Vegan
- In University Heights
How great is this! A store just for Vegan stuff like shoes, accessories, belts, slogan t-shirts, candles, chocolate, and more. - Stephanie's Bakery
- In Ocean Beach (near the OB Coop)
A great bakery with vegan strudel and cakes. Also now making vegan pizza and sandwiches. - Southern California Vegan Restaurant Map
- This is my own map of vegan eateries in Southern California. I started with San Diego, but added a few of my favorites up in LA. It's pretty complete for the San Diego locations.
- San Diego Vegetarian Restaurant Map
- This is my own map of Vegetarian Restaurants in San Diego. Most of these are not just vegetarian, so it's a good "survival map" especailly if you are eating with non-veggies.
