For veg folks, El Cantaro is an excellent fully vegan taqueria near the aquarium and I like going there often even though I’m not vegan. There’s a vegan taco truck closer to moss landing (I think it’s called Freddie’s). Again, Great Wall downtown has a large veg menu and you can also ask them to recommend fully vegan items or veganize stuff. They speak English.
Bunch of basic Indian spots around but if you’re used to Indian in South Bay Area, you’ll be shocked at the difference in quality hehe. I had a samosa that looked more like a giant dumpling and I was so mad.
