Score 90/100 · Order: Mushroom carnitas tacos, whiskey cocktail · $16–26
Kindred was vegan before it was a selling point in San Diego, and the kitchen still cooks with more ambition than any comparable restaurant. The mushroom preparations have real depth, the cocktails are serious, and the gold-and-black room feels like nothing else in the county.
Local tip: Come for a late dinner — the heavy-metal-meets-rococo bar scene is part of the experience.
Score 89/100 · Order: Vegan bar food and a mezcal drink · $$
Kindred is a maximalist gothic bar with an all-vegan menu, which sounds like a contradiction and works completely. The drinks are solid, the room is unforgettable, and the crowd is the most fun in South Park.
Local tip: The kitchen is fully vegan and genuinely good; don't skip the food.
