37 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“The food is all amazing - family favorites are the Bacon Quiche (it goes fast), the pasta salad and the lavender lattes!😍“

“1/4/26:

Came back the second time with some friends.

1. Pear Favor cocktail: 4/5 - great, well balanced with flavors, sweetness and citrusy. I would prefer some spicy.
2. Cob Salad: 3.5/5 - good but lacked of flavors. The dressing was so bland, needs acidity, salt and pepper. Otherwise, it would be terrific.
3. Burger: 3.5/5 - good but I missed the umami, lacked of the charred smoky flavor.
4. Thai curry dish: 2.5/5 - ok, too sour and abit salty. The acidity overpowered everything else.

The service was good.“

The service is consistently friendly and top-notch, making you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the ambiance is lively, fun, and full of character. El Adobe has become our family's favorite spot, and it's always our go-to restaurant whenever friends or family are visiting from out of town. It's memorable every single time.“

“Super fresh, smelled clean inside. Owner is quite friendly and really cares about making a nice bowl.

Got the large bowl with brown rice, and a selection of great sides and toppings. Not *too* many, but each one worth considering. Flavors and spice level were spot on, not too salty or sweet, which highlighted how good the fish choices are.“

“I walk in to fragrant Indian spices. My mouth immediately starts to water. The appetizer comes out Some kind of vegetable dumpling my son ordered. One bite dipped in an incredible mint curry sauce and I'm in Nirvanna. It only gets better from there... SO GOOD!“

“Easter Brunch 2023 was outstanding! So many options for a Starter, Entree and Dessert. Frankly, when our beautiful server came over to see what I wanted, I wanted ALL the starters as I have enjoyed them for years! The Filet Mignon eggs Benedict was perfect. The bottomless, large mimosas were so fun with choices of orange juice, pineapple or watermelon; I tried them all😊 We all passed around our desserts. The Crème Brûlée and Flowerless Chocolate Cake were standouts for sure“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“Great place and pretty authentic food and top margaritas.“

“Great onion rings. Usually get Santa Fe Chicken salad which is very good and large enough to split.

Burgers are good, not exceptional.

Menu is absolutely huge. Don't know how they do it.

Breakfast seems popular. Portions large.“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“A great cowboy dive bar! Its been in SJC for years! Local party spot mostly mature folks who still like to kick it up and country dance. A few 30yo’s! Great bands! Generous pours! Come On Down!! Security are young Marines 😉🥰 and the
Manager was a Gunny 😎“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“Crivello’s Italian Bistro is hands down the best place for amazing Italian food! Every dish we’ve tried has been absolutely perfect—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is always kind and attentive. Highly recommend Crivello’s if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine paired with outstanding service!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful evening at Tannins Restaurant. We kicked things off with the Shrimp Scampi and Cadillac Margarita—both were simply amazing! For our main course, we indulged in the surf and turf, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. We couldn’t resist finishing off the night with a delectable Tiramisu. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“DAY DANCE AND SONG IS VERY GOOD“

“Good place to go to eat, even if you are not a golfer.
First visit, we sat inside, but there is a large outdoor dining area.
I had the Western BBQ Bacon Burger. It was good, plenty of bacon and tasty BBQ sauce. We also had the Butter Toffee Cake for dessert, very good.
Table service was a little lacking, but wouldn’t keep me from a second visit.
Prices are reasonable.
Recommended.“

“So happy that we discovered this SJC neighbourhood gem! Expect authentic, fresh, no-frills sushi and maki rolls, with wonderful chef and staff service (at the sushi bar). Our fave this visit was the 'Aburi Hamachi Roll', but we are looking forward to coming back often to try all the menu options!“

“I didn’t smell a smoker and there isn’t a choice of sauces, but the three meat sampler we shared of brisket, smoked pulled chicken and pulled pork was quite tasty. And the fried dill pickle appetizer was one of the best we’ve had, with thinly sliced pickles and a nice coating.“

“Have been here multiple times and they have been consistently serving authentic Mexican food. There’s seating indoors and a few tables outdoor. We got the. Carnitas, birria and carne asada tacos and all of them were delicious! Do give them a try.“

“Great time .. and the most amazing food .. dubble bubble shot is a must here never in my life anything like this .. but the best ohh and the cabbage wrap Thai style is the best“

“This is my favorite bar!! I’ve been coming here every week for over a year and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. I live for karaoke Tuesdays with G and the buy one get one free burgers. The fries here are my favorite ever, and these burgers are absolutely 🧑🏼‍🍳💋😍. The chicken tenders are incredible, the sausage rolls, the churro waffle sundae, fries sampler, everything I’ve tried here is incredible and I’ve never been disappointed. I’m very picky but according to my friends their roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower is great too. Their December burger of the month is a must-try, I literally have dreams about it. Vivi is an incredible bartender, I am a lemonade snob and the Hennessey house-made lemonade with Tito’s is my all-time favorite. The margaritas are also great. I highly recommend this place. Good food, good vibes.“

“The food was pretty spanking good, but I fear that it could have been better had we ordered the deep dish. We just weren’t that hungry, but needed to feed the little ones. The layout of the place is a bit awkward if you have got a stroller or such since the front door immediately goes up a few sets of stairs, but aside from that there was the heat. The restaurant ran a bit warm, but it could have just been because of the heater outside. The place seemed to be a family magnet as there were tons of kiddos inside. Gotta go back and check out the deep dish next time around~“

“The food is flavorful and there are many options. Quesadillas, burritos, and tostadas of every protein. Many sauces: tomatillo, tomato, mole, avocado, and more. The ingredients are fresh without fat. And also the price: $17 for two large plates.“

“The staff was very kind, accommodating and generous! They even thanked us for coming in today even though we came about an hour before closing. The regular pizza is amazing, and the gluten-free pizza was also delicious. Very unique atmosphere and decorations! Tables could have been a little cleaner, but overall, we would definitely go again!“

“Great BBQ in San Juan Capistrano area. Meat is tender, flavorful and baby back ribs fell off the bone. we will be back each time we visit the area.“

“First time there, and we had a great service.“
