San Diego ranks sixth on a list of vegan-friendly cities released Tuesday by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
It's the first time San Diego has appeared in PETA's top 10 ranking.
"Whether you're looking for lasagne romagnola made with seitan or a soy chorizo quesadilla packed with melty dairy-free cheese, San Diego has the restaurant for you," said PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.
"San Diego is making a triumphant debut on PETA's list thanks to vibrant and delicious cuisine that's kind to animals, the environment and diners' health alike," Reiman said.
PETA noted that San Diego is consistently named as one of the healthiest cities in the country and is the home of numerous triathletes.
Portland, Oregon, topped the annual rankings, followed by Los Angeles, New York, Detroit and Nashville.
