50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“We got the 6 empanada special and all were delicious - both chickens, breakfast, beef, spinach. The spicy chicken was an 8 out of 10 on the spice scale for us. They are large and one can definitely fill you up of you're a kid. We cut them into halves so we can try multiple amongst our family of 4. We'll be back again later in the week!“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“Excellent breakfast and service!! We ate here every morning on our vacation!! Every single staff member was on point the entire time! From the time we walked in, until we were done, everyone was very attentive and friendly. We talked about the service every day. The food was absolutely wonderful and if we’re ever back in the area we will most definitely be back at Ernie’s again!!“

“Cheer's Atmosphere in South Lake Tahoe Tahoe!!!“

“Yummy food, great beer, good service 😋🇩🇪“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“Every time we’re in Lake Tahoe we don’t leave without enjoying their Sushi 🍣“

“Best Burgers 🍔 in Lake Tahoe🔥“

“The 5-star reviews set high expectations. You can view this place two ways: lean into the nostalgic charm of a unique, seemingly authentic, cash-only hole-in-the-wall and call it 5 stars, or take a more objective view, which lands closer to 4.

The overgrown trailer counter service setting feels genuinely authentic, and the menu is extensive. Service is quick if it’s empty, but expect a wait when it’s busy. I ordered the marinated beef burrito: decent portion, overall good, but fairly bland with pretty dry meat. I ended up relying on multiple rounds of tomatillo hot sauce (also not vary flavorful) to boost the flavor. Orange oil eventually starts dripping out of the tortilla, which I couldn’t decide was a positive badge of authenticity or unneeded lubricant for a later trip to the toilet.

At around $10 in South Tahoe, it’s satisfying and a decent value, and I’d come back (likely try other menu items.) But it’s not a 5-star spot unless you’re heavily weighting the family-run, trailer-based charm over the food itself. If “authentic” to you means mild flavor and oil dripping, it fits. Otherwise, go in with tempered tastebud expectations and you'll definitely enjoy it. Solid 4 stars.“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“Good food ain't fast food, so if you come in/call in during a really busy time, please note there could be a little more of a wait than normal. (They also get a lot of phone orders). Sometimes there might be also circumstances out of their control. And we are all human after all...
Enjoy one of the few Chinese places left in this town before it's all gone! After older generation is gone, probably there'll be no more real Chinese food, probably i think within the next decade or two. Appreciate what you have now.
They also get a lot of folks from other towns who say they wish they had a restaurant like this in their city, and this is customers' own words. And when you actually get a chance to taste what their food really tastes like, then you'll know why they're one of the best, and recommended by maybe hotels in the area, also other customers own words as well. Prices/quantity are better than what you get in Stateline/Casino side, where most things are usually more expensive/smaller. This restaurant is one of the few family run restaurants left in town...“

“This a great place for hearty breakfast. We went two times during our weeks stay in the Tahoe area. The service wad friendly and efficient. It is conveniently located, with plenty of parking. We were in and out within an hour and ready for a day of adventures.“

“Totally amazing meal. Just the best in service and food.“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Amazeballs food and fabulous waiter.“

“Omg, cutest place! Would have never known from the outside. Gluten free muffins. My whole family loved everything!!! Super cute fourth of July things for sale.“

“Wonderful food, great service! Creative menu options and nice comfortable ambiance“

“Maggie’s is hands down one of our favorite places to eat in South Lake Tahoe. Every time we’re in town, it’s a must-visit! The food is consistently amazing, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service always makes us feel right at home.

A special shoutout to our server, Yedi, who was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely personable, Yedi made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Service like that makes an already great dining experience even better.

If you’re visiting Tahoe or you’re a local looking for a great meal, I highly recommend Maggie’s. We can’t wait to come back on our next trip!“

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“

“We stopped by here on our scooters… great food!! Highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“Omg! Recommended by a friend… pastor tacos on point! Hamburger with fixings delicious… but obviously tacos had me WINNER… pastor with pineapple 100% bomb… carne asada flavor… Carnitas had me at HELLLLOOOOO“

“Delicious food with healthy vegan and gluten-free options that satisfy the picky eaters in my family! Lots of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Conveniently located in Meyers.“

“We ordered a 3 item combo to go and it is a solid Chinese food restaurant. Great chow mein, fried rice and orange chicken and salt and pepper beef. It was lots of food for the price. It could easily be 2 dinners. Would definitely recommend to others. Friendly service!“

“This is a staple for our summertime South Lake Tahoe trips. The subs are fresh and delicious, the price point is spot on for what you get and the variety of sides & drinks is great for different tastes. Whether you're headed to the beach or hiking up one of the peaks, grab a sandwich from Yellow Submarine on the way!“

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“Went there my first time and it was a very good meal. I’ve tried the other place in SLT but this place is the best hands down!“

“We used Los Mexicanos for our recent family reunion and they were phenomenal. Their team had fantastic communication throughout the planning process (shout out to Andreas), showing up right on time to handle the entire setup. The food presentation was beautiful, and the dishes tasted absolutely incredible. They serve massive portions, so all of our guests left completely full and happy. To top it all off, they handled the entire cleanup and left the space perfectly clean. If you want amazing Mexican food and stress-free service for your next event, hire them!“

“We stopped at Super Tacos for a quick bite before heading to the Gondola. We each got 2 carne asada tacos and they were really good. I liked that they use 2 tortillas and cook the outer one a little more so the taco doesn’t fall apart—smart move.

I added guac to mine which was tasty, but the real winner was the green chili salsa… wow, so good and full of flavor. Service was fine, nothing amazing, but it’s an outdoor-only spot so it’s all about the food anyway.

I’d definitely come back and try a burrito next time.“

“Great service, cute atmosphere, and extensive menu. We enjoyed our breakfast there.“

“Superb,delectable authentic Thai food! My family’s new go-to- restaurant when in Lake Tahoe!“

“They play one heck of a game of backgammon!“

“Have dined here a number of times, every entree has been delicious! Will be back again.“

“Lovely breakfast near the lake off the beaten track.“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“Good value in the food, beer not so much“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“Love the Red Hut waffle restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff! Great waffles! Will become a regular breakfast spot, when in South Lake Tahoe.“

“Food is exceptionally good - no complaints. Just a little overpriced which is to be expected in this tourist town. Plus, I ran into issues with their online ordering system which required me to call and place my order instead... all in all, I think k this place is great.. and I will return again and again..“

“A true South Lake Tahoe gem! Incredible selection of both Chinese and Thai food. The staff is super friendly, especially Pom, who helped us customize the perfect order. The food was absolutely spot on. A fantastic go-to spot for anyone visiting the area!“

“Best chicken I have ever had! Amaze balls delicious! Ribs are to die for!“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“
