50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Marcos

“Can’t say enough about the goodness here at my first visit. My son who is 7 took one bite of my me so hot and it was his. The noodles were cooked perfect and the broth was to die for.

A bit out of my way but I found my new ramen obsession!!“

“The marcos and baked crawfish rolls were bomb👍👍👍“

“Tokwa Sisig,Kalderata and HALO HALO yummy better than Red ribbon and Chowking! You will be so satisfied and will definitely go back to taste all their recipes“

“Nice Pho spot in San Marcos. Clean, comfortable restaurant in the strip center. Located at a main intersection, about 3 blocks off the freeway. Very nice mural and photos. Staff are knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. Food is very good. Fresh and flavorful. Thai ice tea is good. The wontons in the soup are great! Highly recommended for 1 to 20 group size. Great lunch spot. Super fast service.“

“This place is always packed, so you know the food will be good. I suggest you place an order before arriving, and it’s best to take away. They work really hard; the place has a great vibe, and everyone is super friendly. After living in New York for many years and trying several delis, Tina’s Deli is by far the best HOT Reuben on the West Coast, in my opinion!“

“Steak and ribs are off the hook (taste good)“

“The staff was friendly and attentive. So many good things to eat or try. Highly recommend.“

“Best Indian food and friendly service!“

“Edit to add:
I appreciate the owners fast response, going over my receipt with me and refunding me for the over charge on 1 drink - Thank you

I really want to love this place, as it's a local mom n pop shop and convenient for sandwiches, however, this is the second time in the last 3 months we have been overcharged.

Today I ordered a "lite lunch" 3" Tuna which includes a drink. I also ordered a 6" Ham and cheese combo- I ordered an extra bag of chips to complete both meals and was charged for 2 drinks + a medium combo. In short, I was charged for an extra drink at 2.90

The last time we came, we ordered 1 Meatball, 2 ham n cheeses, and made 2 a combo. All sandwiches were 6", however we were charged 2 combos and 2 drinks.

Either combo only means chips, which is 4.85 for a bag, or we are getting double charged for drinks.“

“Food was excellent and service was great!!,..will be back!“

“Have always had a great experience at The Money Pit; except for today (10/28/24). My wife and I stopped for lunch and ordered 2 hamburgers, 1 fry, and 2 drinks. At the time of ordering your employee gave me a to-go carrier for the two drinks, and I told her that we were eating at the Money Pit. She gave me two cups for the drinks. I paid the bill of $20.04 with cash, and she gave me my change. She seemed very put out that I was not taking the drinks and food out. Anyway, when they brought the meal, there were 3 hamburgers, not 2. I said I ordered 2 and she basically told me I was lying and walked away. If you get a server about 30-35 years old, 5'4" tall, with glasses at the Money Pit expect to be treated in a rude matter. Never happened to me in the past (over 10 years of eating there), and I hope you don't have to deal with this employee.“

“One of the best Indian food around the area . Food has rich flavors and outstanding taste.“

“So glad to have a Handel’s in the neighborhood! Nice little courtyard to sit and enjoy the ice cream, and I appreciated the code to scan to see the current menu because the screens inside the window were a little hard to see. We will be back frequently!“

“We love our neighborhood go to spot for excellent wine and beer choices and perfect bistro food: salads, small plates, flat breads and out of this world cheese boards. Lucky to have so close and with such friendly staff!“

“I had a great time here, our waitress was very helpful (and very funny). I have a lot of food allergies including wheat, dairy, corn and SESAME and she helped me navigate my way to the rolls that sounded good with correct alterations. Together our table ordered 7 rolls and each were enjoyed by the ordered. Would def come back!“

“good sushi, and the teriyaki samon is delicious.“

“delicious ice cream, great location! Perfect local spot …“

“Today was our first time visiting, and to be perfectly honest, this will be our new go to for sushi, even though we live in Ramona. Everything from the appetizers to the drinks and service was great. It seems like it would be a great spot for game or fight nights as well!“

“Always come here for a super bomb BBQ chicken bowl. Literally a hidden gem inside of Walmart. Do not sleep on this place! Also love to get their teriyaki burger or chicken Katsu !! Highly recommend if you’re out getting some shopping done!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids food“

“Came with a few friends, clean quiet place to eat, waitress was nice and friendly. Took a while for the food to come but overall it was good. Would recommend most rolls except the surf and turf, weird flavor combination but still decent. A little pricy but a good experience to go and eat. Would come back again.“

“MAYA’S COOKIES ARE AMAZING!! I cannot stress this enough, these cookies are possibly the best I’ve ever had. The cookies were great! They even lasted my family a few days! As someone with nut allergies I was happy to see that I was able to have some of these cookies because many mainstream cookie stores use almond flour or have cross contamination. If you have nut allergies, are vegan, or even just want to try a great cookie, I recommend this place!!“

“Hands down the best persian food in the city. Everything is spectacular and the service is top notch“

“Just wanted to give Jacob a shout out! We showed up around 9pm and it was pretty busy, per usual. We found a table and Jacob went above and beyond. Aside from being very nice, he cleaned our tables without asking and he helped me again by taking our trays when we finished. I was not expecting that but he was just a very kind person and a pleasure to meet. Definitely will be coming back!“

“The girls of Girl Scouts troop 2999 want to thank Debbie’s Pie shoppe for the wonderful pie!! It was tasty and wonderful. Thank you #girlscoutstrong“

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Mili’s Sweets cater our wedding cake and desserts. Our guests loved all the mini desserts and wouldn’t stop talking about how delicious our wedding cake was. She made the process so easy and smooth. Her options for tasting packages were simple and yummy. If you are looking for any desserts I would highly recommend Mili’s Sweets.“

“The scenery is very beautiful“

“Loved this hidden gem. We’ll be back! Everything including wine was delicious. 🥰🙏🏼“

“Delicious Thai food small family business with great food and friendly staff.“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“🙂👍 Tony is awesome!“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area the best in San Marcos.. my only disappointment is the wonton soup here on the west coast!! Back on the east coast the wonton noodles are large and very doughy here the are small and soft. Hard large wonton noodles in my soup. Still the best I have found other then Philadelphia and New York Chinese restaurants.“

“My coworkers and I would frequent this restaurant often. I would normally get one of the Large Pho bowls but other times I would venture out to Rice Vermicelli Noodles. These noodles were served with lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, mints, pickled carrots and daikon, roasted peanuts and fish sauce. This instance I got it with grilled chicken and egg rolls. Great food all the time!“

“Family friendly, delicious, flavorful entree's, full bar, quality entertainment, parking, a destination in North San Diego, Oceanside!“

“found the Las Vegas Sayulitas 2 yrs ago when staying at the Luxor. there burritos are beyond spectacular. big and so delicious. I can't say it enough. and the sauces on the little sauce bar are outstanding. I've never had anything like those sauces. the hot green sauce and hot red sauce are phenomenal. I like the green the best. I lived in AZ years ago. went back home to upstate NY. there is no place near me that even comes close. I love Sayulitas and wish I had one near me. you can't go wrong if you love Mexican style food“

“We love Shores. With football now starting, it is not so great. It is known as a Packers bar. Today there were 6 Packers fan and the rest of the other team fans had to listen to the loud Packers game. Also, one bartender saved seats for over 2 hours for people who didn't show up. That is not right for everyone who shiftwd seats to accommodate the regular guests. Not "shore" if we'll be back during football. I hope Pete figures it out.“

“much better burgers and fries than the average. with more options on menu including kids and premium signature burguers and salads. just give it a try. The Habit will not disappoint 😉“

“Amazing customer service and the WiFi is fast! My coffee was out quick and was made perfect! The barista Sky was very helpful when it came to my questions about sugar free and healthy options. He took the time to care for me and answer all my questions. I will be coming back soon!“

“Pulled into the shopping center not knowing this place was here, very glad I stopped in. Food and service is excellent. Got great recommendation on what to get that was more unique to their menu. Bread was fresh and perfect. Pickled veggies were delicious. Grilled pork was excellent. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.“

“spring rolls, pot stickers, green curry, spicy fried rice. Everything I have tried I like. Fast friendly service.“

“Umai Sushi is a hidden gem! The sushi is always fresh and delicious—especially the baked salmon roll, which is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. The staff is super friendly, and the owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Great service, great food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Absolute best Indian food in San Diego county! I love spicy and got the 10 out of 10 chicken dish, which was outstanding. Initially smooth and savory with an after burner bite it was great! On the chicken kebab, which was ridiculously juicy and incredibly marinated full of flavor Last, but not least, they surprised us with dessert, which was a homemade ice cream with hints of pistachio and rosewater. Can’t really say more than that! You really want to have some fun with it order the mango smoothie it’s out of this world! #currylife #curry #indiancuisine #sanmarcos #delicious“

“The young ladies that are usually working there are quite friendly and always make our orders perfectly. The smoothies and bowls are excellent and if you can’t find something for you on their menu then you probably can’t find anything anywhere! The shop is usually clean and tidy, which, in addition to the food/drink, makes it a nice place to hang, which my son and I will usually do when we get one of their bowls. Our favorite smoothie shop, hands down.“

“This has some of the best burgers and onion rings in San Marcos. They also have a delicious gyro sandwich or salad if carb intake is a consideration. We never eat inside, it's always drive through pick-up. I was really surprised at the price increase,however, that is par for the course; that being said the portions are large so you won't be left hungry.“

“very good pizza.... recommended the works.... fantastic“

“Very Friendly Atmosphere. The level of spice I asked for is just right amount. I love the taste of my Pad Thai and the noodles is cooked perfectly, its not soggy nor too firm.

I love the thai tea with boba as well, it is on the bigger portion but it tastes great! It’s not too sweet not too bland and the boba is very soft not harden or sits there for too long, you can tell it was made fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Vegetarian options: There are some Tofu and vegetables only dishes!

Kid-friendliness: Has high chair if needed!“

“The food was terrific, came out quickly and the staff was friendly. Nice experience.“

“everything was delicious and excellent service“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“This place has been around for only a couple of years but the food and service is amazing and fast. Small menus but everything that I’ve had there has come out fresh and tasty. Staff is always very polite and professional. I enjoy this place a lot. :)“
