50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Oceanside

“This restaurant fills up quickly. But if you get there right and open, you don’t even need reservations. The staff is very laid-back but the food is super sophisticated. Be sure to order one of their desserts. It was my favorite part of the visit.“

“straight fire as far as fish and flavors all in all over the top 💯💯💯look forward to going back 🔥🔥🔥🔥👀“

“We came to Coomber for the first time last week and loved the wine and atmosphere so much, we became members on the spot. This truly does feel like a small community of incredibly friendly individuals, and Brenda and Sabra are both so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend making your way to Coomber!“

“Had three different tacos Brisket was awesome Other two very good But brisket!!!“

“I just wanted to take a moment to highlight how amazing Leo is at Oceanside Sizzler! From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Leo is hands down the #1 server — always attentive, friendly, and super helpful. He truly cares about making your dining experience great and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you're taken care of. Whether it's refilling drinks, offering suggestions, or just checking in to make sure you're enjoying your meal, Leo is on top of it. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you're in for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“It simply fascinates me! All their food offering is delicious. The tray paisa, the lomo saltado, the salted noodles, their incredible empanadas, make homemade a great choice to share and delight the palate in Oceanside! Blessed restaurant, at a good time.“

“I wish more people ate at this place, it’s such an underrated Indian restaurant. Second time here and tried the chicken biryani. Best damn biryani I’ve ever had in my life. (My picture doesn’t do it justice but the bowl was FULL and enough to share with three people if you combine it with naan). The first time I had the tikka and the samosas which were amazing as well. I can’t say enough about this place, It’s better than any other Indian restaurants I’ve tried at major cities or more well known areas. So awesome to have this place here in Oside ????“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Hit or Miss with Tacos, but Great Taco Tuesday Deals

Located in a quiet plaza, Los Tacos is a small branch of a local chain. While the restaurant isn’t large, its grilling setup is impressive—you’ll immediately spot the rotating spit for al pastor pork and the grill for beef as you walk in.

One of the big draws here is their Taco Tuesday special: from 5 pm to close, you can get Carne Asada, Pollo Asado, Carnitas, and Al Pastor tacos for just $2 each. They also offer a 5-taco combo for $12, available all day Tuesday, where you can choose between Carnitas and Al Pastor.

I decided to go with the 5-taco combo, and while the carnitas were satisfying with their soft and tender shredded pork, the al pastor was a letdown. The pork was over-marinated, giving it a sour taste, and the grilling was uneven, leaving some parts burnt. Unfortunately, since I had chosen 3 al pastor tacos, I ended up disappointed with the overall flavor.

Next time, I’d like to try the chicken and beef tacos to see if they fare better. One thing to note: they also charge an extra fee for card payments, so be aware of that.“

“Great food. GREAT Drinks! Rebecca is awesome!“

“My new favorite place!! Everything fresh and delicious“

“I came in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly shocked by the quality of the service.
I was expecting it to be similar to most quick bite Chinese stops, but how wrong I was to assume that.
The lady who was working was so incredibly kind and provided the best service I have seen in a long time, she even packed my left overs for me. 10/10 and the food was delicious“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

“Fabulous Venue. Best Service. Great Blends.“

“Definitely the best Indian Cuisine I've ever had, compared to a lot of Indian food restaurants across the US.....sooo delicious“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“The nicest people with the best food!!“

“First time here. But we will definitely be back again. Food was great. friendly waitress. Big portions, had to take half home.“

“I had their toasted roast beef sandwich and it was amazing. The bread was wonderful. And for me to say the bread's good it means a lot because I'm from upstate New York.“

“I have high standards for all Latin food, considering I've lived both in San Diego and in Miami, both for over 12 years.

This place is truly authentic and delicious. I cannot stress enough how good it is. If you like Latin food at all you must come here and try it.

I'm still in disbelief that such authentic south American cuisine is right here in Vista.

I also highly recommend the chicha morada, it was crazy good!“

“Love the pizza. The ingredients were good as well! :)“

“Great place to chill w/ ur dog, friends and family.“

“This place is EVERYTHING!!! I come here at least twice a week because the food is absolutely amazing, but it’s the people who make it unforgettable. A huge shoutout to New Year, Jocelyn, and Ichen what an incredible team! They are so organized, on top of everything, and their customer service is next level!

New Year is the sweetest and makes every visit feel so special with her energy and kindness. Jocelyn is just as fantastic always making sure everything is perfect and Ichen is a rockstar! Together, they create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back again and again.

I’ve brought my partner here, all my co-workers, and I’m even planning to celebrate my birthday here! The food is beyond delicious, and the vibes are unmatched. Seriously, everyone needs to come and experience this place. Thank you, New Year, Jocelyn, and Ichen—you bring so much joy to my life, and we LOVE you all so much!!!“

“Great food and service!! Try the Brussels. You won’t regret it.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Many options including poki bowls, curry, ramens and sushi. I went with sushi and the fish was very fresh and the portions were generous.“

“Wow this place is great! Stopped on the way home to grab an early dinner. Food was prepared so quickly, we all ordered different things, the ramen was really good, beef rice bowl amazing and we got 3 side dishes that were extremely impressive:). Cheese rolls were something I will come down here to get again, so good! Thank you for an amazing experience.

Vegetarian options: We got veggie spring rolls

Parking: Parking was so easy?

Kid-friendliness: I brought both my kids with me and they enjoyed everything very comfortably!“

“We’ve been to Pacific Coast Spirits and Kitchen a few times now. I think their happy hour is quite strong with the Pork Belly bites at a 10$ price point. The Mac and cheese is delightfully creamy and has a good mix of textures. The Brussels are crispy and well seasoned.

We tried brunch today and it seemed like they were a bit understaffed. I had the breakfast plate which had pork belly, two fried eggs, fried potatoes, and four pieces of sourdough. They didn’t have any real jelly (only a Serrano jelly from another dish) which was a bit disappointing with so much bread on my plate. It was a bit underwhelming as a dish. The 5$ Micheladas were good though.

My husband had the chicken and biscuit - the chicken was well seasoned, the batter was crispy. The biscuit was a bit dry and a little undercooked in the middle.

Our friend had the chilequilles - the texture was good, the carnitas were a necessary addition, and the sauce was a bit spicy / creamy. Overall about a 7/10.

Our first experience here was fabulous so we will give it another shot, but brunch was a bit mediocre for the expectation that I had from our first visit.

Dietary restrictions: It seems like you could sub a few things for vegetarians, but probably not great for gluten free people.

Parking: The lot is small but free next to the restaurant. There is also plenty of street parking.

Kid-friendliness: It would be okay to bring older kids here, but might not be great if it was busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to be wheel chair accessible and handicap parking outside in the free lot.“

“🙂👍 Travis does a great job!“

“Best fish tacos ever😍!!! Thank y’all for the great service . Simplemente fantástico 🤩.“

“🔥 Delicious, went for my son's Birthday 🎉 🥳 this isn't like any other Tasty Pot I've tried, I ❤️ Tasty Pot Oceanside!“

“Love this place!!! Best sushi my family and I have tried since moving to Oceanside! The couple who runs the place are always friendly and treat us like family! You can't ask for more!“

“I recently visited Stratford at the Harbor in Oceanside with my wife and two daughters, and we had the best dining experience ever! The location is perfect, right by the water with breathtaking harbor views that set the perfect ambiance for a family evening out. The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was fresh and bursting with flavor. My daughters couldn't stop raving about their meals, and my wife and I were impressed with the diverse menu options. Our server was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, from recommendations to making sure our drinks were always topped off. The atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly, yet it still felt like a special night out. We’ll definitely be coming back again and recommending Stratford at the Harbor to all our friends and family. A must-visit if you're in Oceanside!“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“Amazing fresh and taste so good“

“We enjoyed our two curry dishes and the papaya salad.

For us, the papaya salad was too fish sauce strong, it was good, but overpowering.

We enjoyed the beef curry and our tofu kabocha curry. Perfectly flavored, a 5/10 is genuinely a five, and the portions were great with just enough to bring home leftovers.

As a group we enjoyed the ribs appetizer, but the beef was tough and overcooked. Flavorwise the ribs were great, but chewy.“

“Love it. Comfortable. Nice people. Can never wait to go back. No pretensions.“

“Enjoyed our first experience at Tap That. My wife loved that there was a wine selection to accommodate.“

“The people and the kitchen staff all so very attentive to all customers, our waitress was so very pleasant and helpful, answering all of our questions, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you to all for a wonderful and delicious experience… food was amazing.“

“Super tasty food, super reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome place to chill and have a drink and they are dog friendly.. my pup always comes with me for the bacon 🥓“

“Food is delicious, service is great“

“My Brother and I visited the Oceanside CA Texas Roadhouse and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service provided by our waitress DANIELLE. Thanks to her expert menu recommendations we ordered and enjoyed some awesome drinks, appetizers and of course some exquisite entrees. This is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Danielle’s high customer service skills enabled a warm and welcoming environment!“

“Nice restaurant for lunch, staff is very attentive, friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Vietnamese sandwich and it was delicious and just right for a lunch portion.
I would definitely go back and try other dishes. Many other diners were having pho and it looked very good and people were enjoying their food.
If it wasn’t such a hot day I would have ordered it as well but the banh MI had flavorful barbecue pork and all of the veggies in the sub were fresh and refreshing.“

“Excellent cuisine with 'Soul' indeed. Very superb dining experience! Made my vacation!“
