50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Marcos

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

“Ramen Mik had exceptional service. They always greet you with a smile they always walk through your table. They’ve been very kind and are always eager to give their suggestions and their favorite plates.

Their chicken broth ramen is delicious and I enjoy their chicken teriyaki is great I recommend getting it hot as it does bring out more of the flavors it is the right amount of heat. Their dark beer is good too if you like malt flavor.

Plenty of parking and they have pretty generous hours operating half day on holidays always a great place to stop by for a quick bite.“

“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“

“If you're craving a warm, comforting bowl of pho, Pho San Marcos is a must-try! The cozy, casual vibe makes it perfect for any occasion, and the service is friendly and welcoming. The pho broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is tender and cooked just right. The fresh herbs and lime add a nice touch of brightness. For spice lovers, there’s chili paste and hoisin sauce to kick it up. With a variety of other tasty options like spring rolls and banh mi, Pho San Marcos is a top choice for a satisfying, authentic pho experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“We have driven passed this place for 20 years and never stopped because the location is kinda weird and the outside doesn’t look very appealing.
Well we are KICKING OURSELVES for not stopping sooner!!! We finally decided to give it a try and it is DELICIOUS! Everything is so fresh and tasty. All the staff is also very friendly and welcoming.
Not much sitting inside though, it’s kinda small and the place was packed both times we stopped by.
It’s definitely worth the crowd though. Delicious food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I haven’t had sushi this fresh in years, and it tastes absolutely delicious! The flavors are incredibly vibrant, and every bite just melts in my mouth. Sometimes, sushi can be overpriced, but here, everything is just right—the quality, the service, and the price all come together perfectly. It’s definitely a place worth coming back to!“

“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!“

“The food is truly delicious well worth going to ! The atmosphere is very nice great for a date, or family night out. Definitely will be coming back quite a bit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access and plenty of room for a wheelchair at the table“

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

“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“

“Best Indian food and friendly service!“

“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!“

“First time here. I’ve heard how great it was. Service was great. Food came in timely manor. And they sell homemade pies. Mmm“

“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“

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

“This is such a beautiful restaurant. The water scenery is beautiful. Food is delicious, the atmosphere was so cozy and chill. It was worth it to go there. Whenever I am back in California I am going back again.“

“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!“

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

“Wow! I love this place! The staff was so friendly and kind. They gave me recommendations and my coffee was made before I even left the register! I got an iced specialty drink and it was ✨sublime✨. It was the perfect blend of sweet and coffee where a lot of other places it’s either one or the other. I got the HOB sandwich on a croissant, and it was AMAZING! The sandwich was so warm, so tasty, and the perfect amount of food. It even came out on a beautiful wooden tray! The atmosphere is 10/10 and I would definitely come again. Thanks for such a great café experience! 💖

Parking: Close by to the coffee shop.

Kid-friendliness: There are games and cushioned seating! I had a stroller and baby and I didn’t feel in the way! It was awesome!“

“I’m thrilled to share just how amazing Mili was for our wedding! From start to finish, working with her was a delightful experience, and the desserts she created for our big day absolutely exceeded our expectations.

We opted for an Oreo-flavored wedding cake, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of spectacular. The cake was moist, rich, and bursting with that irresistible Oreo flavor.

In addition to the cake, Mili provided an array of other desserts that were equally incredible. Each treat was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious the desserts were. It’s clear that she puts a lot of love and care into her creations, and it truly showed on our special day.

Thank you so much, Mili for making our wedding so sweet and memorable. Your desserts were a huge hit, and we’re still hearing compliments from our guests! If you’re looking for a talented baker who delivers on both taste and presentation, look no further.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing experience! It’s so disappointing eating at places that just don’t get it right! Felix’s got it right! The portions are good and the taste was superb! We highly recommend and will be 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“

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

“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.“

“🙂👍 Tony is awesome!“

“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.“

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

“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 😉“

“First time here. Great food! Really tasty marinade on the meat, really delicious bread, and yummy veggies. The older man working at the counter was really sweet and kind. 😊 The sandwiches could use a bit more meat in them, as it was a little thin- but other than that, everything was great! Highly recommended. 🙌🏻“

“Clean Clean Clean Clean Clean“

“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!“

“los menús muy deliciosos“

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

“everything was delicious and excellent service“

“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“

“I’m a sushi lover, and I’ve eaten at a lot of spots, but this place is truly one of the best!! The fish is incredibly fresh and everything is just so flavorful. I had the spicy garlic edamame, Aloha Roll and the Tiger Roll & both were DELICIOUS.

On top of the food, our waitress, Rhea, was fantastic. She was super friendly, gave us great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her energy and amazing service really added to the experience.

I’ll definitely be back. If you're a sushi fan, you can't miss this“

“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.“

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

“Maya’s Cookies in San Diego and San Marcos, CA, is a true delight for anyone who loves vegan treats! My friend Carlette recently surprised me with a box of their cookies, and I was blown away by the quality and flavor.

Highlight: The Lemon Chiffon Cookie ?

The Lemon Chiffon Cookie is hands down my favorite! It’s light, airy, and bursting with a refreshing lemon flavor. The texture is perfect—soft and chewy with a slight crisp on the edges. The lemon zest adds a wonderful tang that makes each bite a little piece of heaven. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tart, making it an absolute must-try!

Maya’s Cookies offers a fantastic variety of other flavors as well, each one crafted with care and attention to detail. The staff is friendly and welcoming, always ready to help you find your new favorite cookie. Plus, knowing that everything is vegan makes the experience even better!

If you’re in the San Diego or San Marcos area, do yourself a favor and visit Maya’s Cookies. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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. :)“

“We’ve been getting Station Pizza for many years through all of the different owners. Always been loyal to the local group and pizza has been consistent and good. Last night, y’all knocked it out of the park. Not sure if you are doing anything different but I’ve haven’t enjoyed it as much as I did last night. Nice work, keep it up. #Modenapizza“
