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

Aburi Sushi

(Gluten Free) All sushi falls into the category of gluten free (hooray!) and we recommend you go for the local favorite Buena Park roll when you dine at Aburi Sushi. It is the perfect bite of seared albacore, asparagus, avocado, and shrimp tempura.

SUP NOODLE BAR

(Vegan) Do yourself a favor and order up the lomo saltado at SUP where you'll get French fries topped with tomatoes, charred red onions, homemade aji verde aioli, and vegan tofu. Served with white rice, it's big enough to share.

Myungin Dumplings

(Vegetarian) Filled with a sweet red bean paste, the steamed dumplings are a vegetarian staple at this spot that's all about dumplings. Another favorite for vegetarians at Myungin Dumplings is the classic green onion pancakes.

Porto's Bakery & Cafe

(Vegetarian) There's nothing quite as satisfying as a warm bowl of soup and Porto's does it well with the lentil and vegetable soup. A hearty, vegetarian soup that's slow-cooked with lentil, onion, carrot, celery, turnip, butternut squash, and potato, it is finished with sautéed Tuscan kale, parmesan cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. Served with a toasted slice of Porto's sourdough baguette, this is a filling meal any time of day.

Myungrang Hot Dog

(Vegan) You'll love the chewy texture of the rice cake hot dog that is actually hot dog free and takes a traditional Korean rice cake and dips it in a crispy batter at Myungrang Hot Dog. A delicious treat on a stick!

La Huasteca

(Vegetarian) The traditional chile relleno is always a solid vegetarian choice at La Huasteca or you can go for something more unique and try the vegetales huastecos. Sauteed julienne vegetables are smothered with sour cream and served with white rice and mashed beet.

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!
