50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Gold River

“Martin’s Famous Tacos has completely won me over. I was honestly a little skeptical the first time I went, but after they catered an event at my kids’ school, I decided to give them a try. I’m glad I did because now we stop by at least once a week.

If you go on Thursday, you’re in for a treat. It’s basically birria day! Their quesabirria tacos are fantastic, and the birria burritos are just as good. Their quesadillas are huge, made with fresh flour tortillas, and packed with more meat than most people can handle.

The sides are great too—the rice and beans are always on point. They have fresh radishes available and a salsa bar with plenty of options. The guacamole is excellent. You do have to purchase chips separately, but they offer both traditional corn chips and flour tortilla chips.

They don’t have fountain drinks, but they do carry a wide variety of Mexican sodas and American sodas, and I’m pretty sure they serve beer as well.

What really keeps us coming back, though, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Even when the dining room looks slow, they’re working hard because the place stays busy. You order at the counter, but they bring the food out to your table, check on you, and keep the dining area clean. Customers are encouraged to bus their own tables, which is a small thing considering the great service they provide.

Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and genuinely kind people. Martin’s Famous Tacos has become a regular stop for my family, and I highly recommend giving them a try.“

“I love that Arigato's still has 1/2 price sushi rolls. The sushi is always top notch and super fresh. The tempura Veg was delicious. We walked in to order to go and they had the order done in maybe 10 minutes? Super fast. Been an occasional customer for 15 years between this location and the one on Howe Ave. Always happy with my visits.“

“The best mountain mikes around, with the friendliest service and cleanest environment. The lunch buffet is very good and unlike many other mountain mikes, they actually make the pizza/dish you ask for and being it out, rather than just leaving you with what they already have.“

“Went there Sunday morning - great food -great service! Glad they are in Gold River - fun place to eat.“

“Finding a restaurant that opens around 10:00 on a Sunday morning is no easy feat. Yet, I found one—and I was thoroughly impressed. It offered delicious, home-style food; service faster than McDonald's; a spotless environment; and an interior atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to its exterior appearance. It is the kind of place I wish I had right in my own neighborhood. While the food would have been excellent for takeout, dining in was a true delight; my meal arrived in a beautiful bento box, arranged with exquisite neatness—everything was simply perfect. The staff were friendly, and the tables were as clean and inviting as those in a home. If you want to lift your spirits for the entire day, pay this place a visit and order whatever your heart desires. You’ll find that everything just falls into place.“

“Everything about this place is amazing, the environment is very warm and welcoming, the waiters were fast and on point with everything, including my dietary restrictions. I have a peanut allergy, which is used regularly in Thai dishes, but they were able to find a way around my allergy and serve excellent food. Their curries, noodles, and stir fry are all exceptional, and I say this is the best Thai place in Folsom.“

“I’ve been to El Cantaro in Monterey about 10 times! I’m looking forward to going to the Sacramento version of this restaurant today! That has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I love the fact that it doesn’t say vegan plant-based and all that stuff everywhere. It’s basically just a Mexican restaurant that happens to be Vegan. Can’t wait to come and visit!“

“I’ve been to this place once visiting my cousin and to say it was the best steak I’ve ever tasted in my ever loving life would be a huge understatement! I don’t know when I will ever make it to that part of the country (I live in South Carolina) but when I do, Sutter Street will definitely be on the itinerary!“

“Been coming here since I was a little child. Still open and amazing food for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets. I bring my friends who eat meat and they like it too!
Nutty Tacos and the new Chickenless Sandwich are my favorite but the burgers are also amazing.“

“Excellent customer service. Tasty authentic food. Great dining experience.“

“Some of the best food I've had on quite some time. 🩷“

“This place is amazing! The food is 🔥🔥🔥 and the family that runs it is awesome! Highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of great quality food and a great price! Keep up the good work Folsom Pizza and Kabob! ⚡️🤘🏼⚡️“

“Good food and good price.“

“I have enjoyed this unique dinning experience several times over the years. Each time offered a unique experience, with each being outstanding. The food and entertainment remind me of a Las Vegas production in both style and quality. The true superstar is Connie in customer service. She made sure all our reservations and meal selections met our needs. She is not only helpful but, she is patient and extremely helpful and delightful. When in doubt, trust her recommendations. Thank You, Connie!“

“Not sure exactly where to start but this restaurant has some serious customer service issues and that's just one category we were very disappointed in. We ordered online last night to try it out as we saw so many great reviews for the food so we broke from tradition and on my birthday we decided to eat here. All we ordered was a Helen, Cheese Fondue, and the Meatball rigatoni. I received an email stating the food would be ready in about 45 minutes. We left 35 minutes later as it's only up the street from where we live. As we arrive we noticed it's a little corner spot with patrons and appears to be more of a quaint little sit down restaurant and my wife and I thought maybe next time we just come in instead of take out. We stood there for about 2-3 minutes and then guy yells from across the room that he will be with us in a minute. He didn't seem to have anything he was really doing but ok. So finally an older guy comes over and asks us if we have been helped. We told him we were there to pick up our order, and he says he will go check on it. After a few minutes he comes back and says he tried to call us (no record of any missed calls on my phone) and that the rigatoni with meatballs was not available and he wasn't sure how it let us order that online. We don't know either and we definitely know you didn't try calling us to tell us that. Anyways he provided the option for a refund or to make my wife another dish. He mentioned shrimp scampi as the alternative, now the rigatoni was $25 a plate and they didn't even have shrimp scampi on the menu so I was skeptical since usually if they make something good it would be on their menu. So we waited for another 10 minutes for this SCAMpi. I capitalize scam because that's exactly how we felt when they tried to give us this alternative dish and we looked at it. I wish I had taken a picture of what they brought out for $25.... It was literally a small portion of large macaroni noodles, and no more than maybe 6-7 small chunks of shrimp in some greasy sauce that looked totally unseasoned... Gross. I wouldn't feed anything that dish and they should have never tried to replace a main dish like that with something as disappointing as what we received. So I took the container back into the restaurant as we hadn't left the parking lot as I wanted to see first just what they felt was comparable to the $25 we just spent. I found the guy who helped us and just explained that we wanted the refund and the scampi was not acceptable. He said ok and said right after that the refund was already processed. Now to the other food. The pizza was $23 and the cheese fondue was $13. Normally $23 for a pizza isn't crazy, but this was literally the size of a medium if that, and was extremely bare of ingredients. It taste pretty good, but wasnt worth the money at all. I don't eat a lot, and I was able to eat half of this pizza alone without even blinking. The cheese fondue was ok but not memorable. So now today I get up and take a look at my bank account to see if the refund was actually processed, and what do I see? Instead of a refund, I was charged again for that SCAMpi and not actually refunded! I wouldn't dine here again with the lack of customer service, value, and lack of integrity. I will be going back in again to get this straightened out and am not happy about it.“

“I have ordered from these guys at least three or four times delivered by DoorDash and I am typically a foodie when it comes to gourmet food and these guys got it nailed down even for a pizza place- very quality and wide menu selection keep up the great work“

“Fast service and very authentic ambiance and food, cheerful staff“

“We spent the evening with family visiting from New York and had a wonderful experience.
The service staff was very attentive to special requests made in advance of our visit. All of the food dishes were exceptionally well prepared by the kitchen staff and thoroughly enjoyed by our guests (and us).
I’d recommend to anyone with discerning tastes that also enjoy a high level of service.“

“Best taqueria I have had the pleasure of eating at in this area. We moved from Phoenix and have searched for good tacos. Panchito was great, the owners were very friendly.“

“Best pizza in town guaranteed!“

“We had some of their signature tempuras deep fried with pork ramen. So delicious and must be one of the best in the area! Fast and delicious menu 😋 Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“A welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home and special. Almost like you are family!“

“As a skeletal being, I don’t often indulge in the pleasures of the culinary world, but my recent visit to Umami Ramen was a delightful exception. Upon entering, I was greeted by the rich aroma of simmering broth that tantalized my non-existent taste buds. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with wooden accents and dim lighting—perfect for a bony figure seeking refuge from the chill of the grave. I opted for the signature ramen, “shiro ramen” a spine-tingling favorite. The broth was rich and deeply savory, with layers of umami that could awaken even the most dormant of bones. Each slurp brought a satisfying warmth that sent shivers down my… well, you get the idea. The noodles were perfectly chewy, a delightful contrast to my otherwise brittle frame. I appreciated how they held onto the broth, ensuring each bite was flavorful. The toppings—a generous scattering of green onions and a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg—were visually appealing and added a delightful texture. For a skeleton, the highlight was undoubtedly the marrow-infused broth, which was rich enough to make me almost forget my lack of flesh. It was comforting in a way that transcended the corporeal. Service was friendly, and the staff even chuckled at my bony demeanor, which I took as a compliment. Overall, Umami Ramen provided an experience that was both hearty and hauntingly good. In conclusion, I may not have the capacity to eat in the traditional sense, but I can confidently say this ramen is to die for. Highly recommended for all the living and the occasionally wandering skeletal souls.“

“Ate here for dinner before going to the movies last week. Food was really good and the service was wonderful. Andy was very helpful with the choice of our food. Going back tomorrow with the family to celebrate our anniversary. We moved here from the Bay Area a year ago and this place exceeded our expectation.“

“We haven’t been to Chili’s in a few years but decided to drop in for an early dinner today. What awesome friendly and fast service! This was the best service we have had anywhere in recent months. Thanks to Ashley, our server, as well as the others.“

“Food and service are both amazing!“

“WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service! There were six of us and we all ordered something different off the menu and we tasted and shared everything and it was excellent…… I would not consider this to be pub food……. it is exceptional! I wish they would open one in El Dorado Hills!!!“

“First of all, the servers were amazing and attentive! Our total cost of 2 people doing the AYCE was around $90, which is fair. I believe it was $37 per person. The food quality was excellent and it wasn’t too busy. We went at 12:30pm on a Saturday.“

“Cute little place! Fresh and delicious 🤤“

ABSOLUTELY DYNAMITE! Thanks guys! Neil & Courtney“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“Great halibut with risotto dinner!“

“UPDATE:: Thank you Akira, for stellar service, a friendly smile and being my Seniorita bread dealer recently! You are epic.

I am so jazzed about this place that I’m like ...MUST REVIEW ON ALL PLATFORMS...
They offer up some amazing traditional Filipino treats, both sweet and savory. All fairly priced. All fresh and delicious whilst providing wonderful service. It’s the perfect formula. I hope that they continue to thrive!“

“This place is a true gem! My husband and I have ate here twice now and we have NOT been disappointed. Our first time there he ordered a burger of some sort and I got the grilled chicken sandwhich in a lettuce wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. Our second time around he got the pesto crepe with fries, and I got the Mediterranean crepe with salad. We both agreed that my crepe was better, despite our love of pesto, but both were good. The fries and salad hit the spot as well, mostly because their ranch dressing is fantastic. Prices were definitely reasonable. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. Whether you want savory or sweet there's something for everyone!“

“Silver Sake “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. This is the go to place for sushi. It’s more than good food. It’s an experience. The staff from chefs, wait staff, to kitchen staff, greet, engage you with friendly smiles. The food is always amazing my kids enjoy their chef choice (Omakase) rolls. Matter of fact we always leave it up to the chef to make whatever they see fit to serve us. Never been disappointed and always left our appetites pleasantly satisfied. When it’s time to leave, as you walk out the doors, you’re always sent off with “ We’ll See You Tomorrow”. It takes every ounce of willpower to not return the next day.
Silver Sake Carmichael’s Hidden Gem!“

“The old-fashioned are so good and the brunch menu never disappoints❤“

“I am baffled at how the food can be this good and the prices still fit the budget. The cheesesteaks were tasty and overflowing. The burgers had so much flavor. The fries have always been just right. You can really taste the attention they give to what they do and they get right to it. There's barely any waiting and I've never seen a long line here. It's incredible and I hope they can keep it up.“

“Party room was a nice size for large gatherings“

“the best place for lunch in sacramento been coming here for years and years the food is always amazing and the staff is top of the line this is a sacramento staple a must try place to come eat and visit i promise come try there food and you will always come back for more“

“Jake was super sweet very good father figure, he inspired me to go back to college and pick up guitar again. The food was also pretty good. The drink had a gay pour which i liked, Jake was cool, he looked like an aged up version of the nickel back dude which I appreciate.“

“Great place to hangout and have a beer. Loved the mini art gallery for the local artists as well as the mini arcade room. This location also does different events like live music and trivia night. I personally haven't attended the events but definitely will soon“

“Shout out to La Placita ! I think it’s been about 5 to 7 years since I’ve been to the restaurant. My family and I have been eating there for over 20+years . I can’t tell you how excited I was to see some friendly faces still there. The food was off the hook like they’ve never skipped a beat. Same excellent service and same excellent food.“

“The food is delicious and hot. The people are so kind and professional!!! Highly recommend!!!“
