Established in 2009, Evolution is San Diego’s original vegan fast food outlet and the vegetarian’s answer to the universal fast food burger joint, including the drive-thru window.
Following the successful formula of meat-centric burger joints, the restaurant has a menu of burgers, tacos, and wraps, including the gluten-free Evo Burger with either a black bean or house-made tempeh patty stacked with fresh lettuce, pickles, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, tomato, and a creamy Thousand Island dressing.
Pair burgers with a side of chili cheese fries and organic shakes or smoothies. While the hut-like restaurant caters to mostly take-out fans, it also has some modest patio seating for diners wanting to eat in.
