Veg Out: Buena Park's Top Spots for Vegan, Vegetarian & Gluten Free Dining

With so many fabulous restaurants in Buena Park, there are ample opportunities to find a meal that suits your dietary restrictions whether you are vegan, vegetarian or avoiding gluten. From a plant-forward meal of Greek salads to a Beyond Meat burger, these filling and flavorful meals will have you returning again and again.

Tacos la Calle

(Vegetarian) The mushroom tacos at Tacos la Calle are an excellent choice any day of the week as they come loaded with grilled mushrooms, onions, tomato, cheese, pico de gallo, and beans. They're served on two corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and salsa for a plant-forward taco with a kick.

Rock and Brews

(Vegetarian) Satisfy those burger cravings, vegetarian style with the Beyond Meat California Dreamin’ Burger at Rock and Brews. A Beyond Meat patty is sandwiched in between a brioche bun with double melted cheddar, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, and Thousand Island dressing. You won't miss the meat, that's for sure.

Kitakata Ramen

Blaze Pizza

(Vegan & Gluten Free) The Vegetarian Pizza is where it's at when you order at Blaze Pizza. It all starts with a gluten-free cauliflower crust (trust us, it's delicious!), red sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, artichokes, kalamata olives, red onions, and spinach. Swap out the cheese for vegan cheese if you wish.

Protein Lab

(Vegan) Who would think that a spot called the Protein Lab would be where it's at for vegans and vegetarians? All their shakes, smoothies, and superfood bowls can be made vegan upon request. Add on plant protein if you so desire. We recommend the Fruity Kettlebells protein smoothie for vegetarians that comes with almond milk, vanilla whey, organic agave, Fruity Pebbles, strawberries, and non-fat yogurt.

Portillo's

(Vegetarian) Portillo's knows how to make their sandwiches the star and the grilled portobello sandwich is no exception. It's a flavor bomb with grilled marinated portobello mushrooms, red onions, tomato, and mozzarella cheese, served on toasted tomato focaccia that's smeared with basil pesto. Yum and yum.

Sunrise Cafe

Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner

(Vegan & Gluten Free) The taro root "scallops" are the popular choice when you are looking for a vegan option at Mrs. Knott's. Flavorful and filling, these come pan seared and served over vegan herb rice pilaf with steamed asparagus and a balsamic glaze.

Miss Shabu

(Gluten Free) However you like your hot pot served up, Miss Shabu has you covered with flavorful broths, high-quality proteins, and plentiful veggies. Opt for the gluten free rice noodles if you are a gluten free diner and don't skip the rice porridge at the end!

Uncle Fung Borneo Eatery

Kaju Tofu

(Vegetarian) The vegetable tofu soup at Kaju Tofu is loaded with veggies including carrots, corn, peas, green beans, and enoki mushrooms. Get it as spicy as you like it from mild to triple spicy, if you dare!
