20 Vegan Burgers To Try in San Diego - Eater San Diego

"With three locations in San Diego, it’s easy to find Native Foods’ protein-packed, house-made seitan burgers. Guest favorites include the Poppin’ Jalapeno Burger—double patties smothered in vegan American cheese, pimento spread, green goddess dressing, crispy onions, and pickled jalapeños. The menu also includes classic compositions like the BBQ Brisket Burger topped with slices of brisket-style seitan over vegan smoked gouda, ranch slaw, and BBQ sauce all soaked up by a crown of onion rings." - Kelly Bone

First time coming to this place and was not disappointed!! Always love trying out new places. I paid a little over $30 for all my food (forgot to take pics of my drink + the chocolate chip cookie) I got the taco salad and it was delicious, had everything it needed to felt full. I guess the fries could’ve been a little better and I ate my sandwich a few hours later and it was still pretty good. Definitely check it out if your in town.

Although I appreciate what vegan restaurants are trying to do, i am typically not a big of the food as they tend to be boring and fall flat. This place in unlike any other, loved it! Tried the brisket bbq in a pretzel bun with fried onions, I wished for a second one. Portions are good and well spiced. The place is well maintained, super clean and the staff were welcoming. The nachos were good, a mix between the sweet cashew cheese and spices, large portion. Will definitely be going back.

I came in so hungry I didn't know what to get it all sounds so amazing! Luckily the manager was super fluent in his menu and had great things to suggest!! I got the Jalapeño popper burger with tomato basil soup and it's absolutely amazing. I'm so in love with this place. Best flavors in Vegan foods I've had! Thank you!!

My first time here and everything sounds so delicious. The gentleman in the front had great recommendations and was super knowledgeable. I went with the seasonal bbq pulled pork sandwich. It was so good and even tasted better than one made with real pork. It was juicy, not dry and savory it even had the slightest spice. The French fries had some seasoning which made them even tastier. I had the watermelon Fresca, typically these taste wayyy to sweet and sugary but this one was refreshing and paired perfectly with my meal. This is a place I will definitely have to keep coming to and try something new every time. Inside is very spacious so many places to sit even out doors. In the time I spent eating every table used was cleaned in a very timely fashion. It made for such a clean environment.

We have eaten at another location before, this one was a take out. Online ordering was easy. The menu seems to be different from last time, not sure it is seasonal or depending on the location. Double cheeseburger and shawarma chickpeas bowl were our favorite. Shawarma dressing was heavy but it is on the side so no issues there. BBQ chicken bowl was OK - not enough BBQ chicken and a bit sour, still not bad. We split dishes in half to eat 2 days, added our own greens. Native Foods is one of our favorite fast casuals for plant based dishes.

Excellent vegan food! I will definitely be coming back ! I had the bbq pork bowl which was delicious! And had the key lime and shared an oatmeal creme cookie sandwich with my kids! Sooo delicious ! We aren’t vegan but enjoy vegan food, so for those unsure of vegan food this is a great place to try as it is just really good food overall!

Good place for Vegan eaters! Wish we had something like this in my city. Their Nashville sandwiches is good with a perfectly fried patty, the sauce could have been on the spicier side. Their fries was the highlight for me, thin crisp, and some seasoning with chipotle sauce.

Is this a healthy alternative to eating meat? There's a strong effort to make the dishes flavorful, but the result is a very saucy (and occasionally fried) set of dishes. The food isn't boring, but I can't tell whether this is a truly healthy result. Well priced, clean, and polite.
