About

Plant Power Fast Food on Santa Fe Drive in Encinitas operates the chain's first drive-through location and second overall outpost, converting a formerly abandoned gas station into a 100-percent plant-based fast-food restaurant when it opened in 2017. The menu builds every burger, wrap, and taco from plant-derived proteins free of GMOs and artificial ingredients, a scratch-vegan approach to the fast-food format that complements the cold-pressed juice builds at Choice Juicery nearby. Founded in Ocean Beach in 2016, the concept has since expanded to locations across Southern California and Sacramento, using eco-conscious bamboo packaging and 100-percent biodegradable marine-degradable straws at every outpost. The Encinitas location earned a 99-out-of-100 San Diego County health inspection score and serves an all-organic beverage menu alongside a build-your-own taco bar, broadening the plant-forward corridor near The Taco Stand on Encinitas Boulevard. The Holy Guacamole burger stacks a plant-based patty with vegan cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and chipotle sauce on a sesame bun.
