50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near South Houston

“I read good reviews on FB so I decided to try this place when I was in the area. Ordered fried chicken steak as they said it’s their specialty. The portion is huge but the batter was not as crispy as i expected. It comes with 2 large sides. The atmosphere here was like a blue collar cafeteria with working people in and out constantly. I will try again if i was in the area.“

“Makes you feel like you’re home. Handmade tortillas and really good customer service. Like the señora calls me mijo and just brings back memories from mi pueblito. There is flavor not just in the food but also in the atmosphere. The chairs and decor is basic however what really matters is the food and atmosphere. Toilets were clean and the dining area was clean as well . Tables didn’t have any sticky residue. The menudo is very good just ask them to take a bit of the grease off and ask for extra limes and onion to complement it. Wash it down with a horchata and you’ll be a happy camper for the rest of the day.“

“Casual South Houston Nicaraguan spot known for authentic, home‑style dishes like parillada, quesillos and hearty nacatamales that many locals rave about for flavor and generous portions. Friendly owners and a warm, family vibe make it memorable, though quality and consistency can vary and the cozy space fills fast — great for adventurous, affordable Nica eats!“

“This has to have the best service. Love this location and have been going for decades. The food is always fresh, especially on weekends but best of all are the servers. I have to say im a bit forgetful and often misplace my phone but usually when I go back to where I lost it..I dont get it back. Just today I forgot my phone, and the staff and owner helped me out. I ended up finding it later and everyone was relieved.“

“Amazing mezcal dinner. Had the best time with the best food and drinks.“

“1/12/2025-This is a awesome vibe here. The ambiance is a nice bistro with some crazy art to keep you entertained but the music and lighting sets the mood. I would come back here again and again. I visited here without a reservation and was greeted when I first came in. The staff was nice friendly and attentive. Emma was awesome and recommended some dishes. The burger, half chicken, rice, and sesame butter cookie were awesome and the drinks. I had the voodoo drink. I highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.“

“Love it here! Vibes are great and the owners are so sweet!“

“My husband and I sneak away every chance we get just to come here! The food is amazing and we love all the smoothies, teas, and juices! It’s definitely a top favorite of ours! Thanks so much for being such a great option so late at night! I can’t forget to mention the friendly and welcoming staff! 🫶🏻“

“We enjoyed our first experience here, very nice ambience for a fine dining, delicious filet mignon steaks and our daughters love the classic Mac and cheese and the chocolate cake desserts. The price we pay is nothing compared to the very professional and wonderful service we received that I didn’t think twice giving additional tip. Did not regret celebrating my wife’s birthday here.“

“Un excelente servicio por parte de Eli, la comida deliciosa se los recomiendo y las micheladas“

“Always a good time. Lots of activities and a great view of the city!“

“my first time here and it was so good! cozy atmosphere, service was phenomenal and the food was amazing!“

“After seeing on television that the restaurant won a James Beard award, I put it on my list of places to go. The expectations were pretty high, and our party was not disappointed. The medium spice level was perfect...flavorful with a kick. Drunken Noodles, Krapow Beef, and the Meatball Appetizer were our favorites. This restaurant was an hour drive for us and did not disappoint. It was worth the trip, and we will be back. The only two criticisms would be that their front door is darkened, and from outside, does not look like an actual entrance. And the noise level was a little high, so our server had to repeat herself a few times, but she didn't seem to mind and checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying ourselves“

“the blending of toppings, sauce and light tasty crust are masterfully done! staff is friendly, atmosphere is great, drink selection both soft and alcoholic is vast, and I've yet to take someone who hadn't been impressed. great job team TGP 👏 I can't wait to see what you all bring in the future“

“Love their beer but the mushroom pizza I had today was so bland. The crust was crunchy and decent and the ingredients seem like they would be right up my alley. Pizza so bland a ton of Parmesan and red pepper couldn’t make it taste good. Waiter was nice and took good care of us and place is always lively and fun for people watching. But note to self next time get a burger. (They had run out of burgers)“

“Only one word can accurately describe this dining experience: WOW! OK, maybe a few other words: incredible, outstanding, fantastic, delicious, amazing, and unique! This was truly an experience! It all started with the wonderful service from Nate, the Maitre D. He was so kind, personable and professional! Then came Valentin, our server, who was so friendly, knowledgable, and again, professional! The food was insane! A feast for the eyes and the senses! I loved that the restaurant was quiet, even though it was busy. This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing...and they're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! I cannot wait to go back, and I'm telling everyone I know about our superb experience! Thank you for a great night!!“

“First time customer honest review:

The place is busy we waited outside to be seated wasn't a long wait ..place is clean and well decorated like a 1950s cafe....The food was sooooo good coffee was sooo good bacon amazing and that jalapeno polish sausage omg sooo good.......the grits soooo good... The French toast and Monte Cristo soooo good .......also they have fresh fruit not bruised or in a can soooo good .......food was amazing and fresh......

Only problem the cashier tried to dupe us in front of my face with my 3 kids. The have fresh pastries right there so I'm like give me two of those kubarikia's (idk how it's spelled).like chocolate and white cream it's says it $2.50 on the little card in front of it....and she tried to charge me $4.99 per cake.im glad I was paying attention and caught her .....that's my only problem....she changed it no problem ...I didn't get a receipt either but no biggie

Idk who my server was cuz she didn't introduce herself but she was fast and made sure we had everything....before leaving she never came back to check on us and we were in her section but it was very busy so I know how that is used to be a waitress I didn't hold it against her...that's just how u get big tips lol I used to go home with $800 on a Wednesday just saying.....I left her a $20 tip on top of a $45 meal....

we would come again ..... definitely worth the drive.....“

“This place is amazing. We went for the first time and already plan on coming back. So far, this is our favorite burger spot in Houston. The staff was incredibly kind, the food is made fresh, the drink options are great, and the vibe inside is welcoming and relaxed. I would recommend this to any local. We will definitely be back. So happy to have found a close, family run burger spot.“

“Ohhhh Wrap and Roll is my new favorite place! The loxation by Green Tee has 20 claw machines!!! Not only is the food so filling and delicious, but the staff is awesome and friendly, and my son just LOVES coming here for the food plus claw machines! We have a blast every time we go :)!“

“Food is amazing. Are there for the first time and will be back again. The Birria Tacos are the best I’ve ever had! Staff is super friendly. Highly recommend“

“Coincidentally, I ran into someone wearing a Sinfull Bakery shirt. I asked about the vegan reference. I did not realize I was talking to THE Chef Dylan of the bakery. I decided to take a Saturday drive and check it out. Wonderful surprises were waiting for me! Had the Monkey Bread Muffin and purchased the cheesecake with apple topping for later. I will definitely return. Check it out.“

“Great burgers with a creative twist! Fantastic cocktails! Inexpensive!“

“Service was amazing & food was delicious! I've celebrated many birthdays here and it never disappoints! We were showered with great service and happy birthday messages from the manager, Drew (what an excited party guy!) and waitstaff. We will be back next year. My cousin works for Brinker & says a new menu is coming in November! Can't wait to see it! I also let him know about the great service. Great job Maggiano's!“

“Our experience at Ninfas is always stellar. We love their fajitas, chips and dip and margaritas. Our server last time we were there, Ernesto Islas, was awesome and anticipated our every need. Thanks Ninfa’s for being our go-to Mexican food spot!“

“When I tell you everything here was on point I mean EVERYTHING. Not only was the food amazing and cooked to perfection but every server should take a class from our server. He was amazing. knew exactly what to recommend. Went above and beyond, extremely attentive and kind. This is my go to spot for life.“

“Fantastic food , from the seafood to the burgers . The fresh oysters, crab cakes , red fish and steaks . Every single thing was excellent. Our server tonight was perfection. She said she was from Alabama. She could read out minds. Perfect dinner .“

“Live the skillet potatoes, filet and key lime pie!“

“Outstanding food, service and selection. Enjoyed our meal and the ambience.“

“The potato/quinoa taco, drip coffee (need to remember to ask for my almond milk on the side otherwise coffee will be cold) and I can’t believe the cinnamon roll was vegan. Thanks for everything.“

“The food was delicious and the experience was creative and fun. Our server was Chris. He was a great server. We were overwhelmed with the menu at first and he talked us through the entire experience. The place was clean and the vibe was great. It did appear to be a local hot spot in opinion of an outsider from GA.“

“I eat here more than anywhere else since I been in Texas. I have tried multiple bbq places and still Ryan’s is so far my favorite smokehouse. Friendly staff with lots of laughs and the owners are great people and down to earth best BBQ in Huston so far.“
