back on track (disclaimer: I moved about 3 years back, so who knows if these places are still there)
near el cajon blvd: if you want to rock a good trifecta, do the vietnamese non-veganism at Dao Son, sing with Shirley and swig the gimlets across the street at the Red Fox room, and then stumble down the block to go hang with the shamu rockers and drink their many many beers (now prob. all converted to PBR) at Livewire. The last is part owned by Petey X from RFTC and maybe another band member (it's been awhile), so its like a shamu rock motherlode.
The Che is on campus at UCSD--used to serve all-you-can-eats on Weds; UCSD also has Porter's--your typical run of the mill pubby pub, but good beers. Also, Pizza Port has pretty good suds and pizza, again, non-vegan.
Some of the mexican places sport vegan stuff if you hunt for it--as long as you can ignore the ubiquitous lard in the beans (hate to break that to you, principled non-meat eating folks)--potato rolled tacos at Lalo's are awesome; and the nopales, papas, y frijoles steamed tacos are frickin great at this little place in banker's hill.
I must agree: DC sucks for food (except for skin-on half-smokes)
