I love Dream Dinners!…read more I have saved myself so much time, and I am able to feed my family delicious, healthy meals on my busiest nights. I love that I order online, pull up in a parking spot a text to them, and my food is brought out to me I'm loaded in the trunk of my car. I can't honestly say enough good things about a dream dinners, specifically this location. The staff is friendly, and they are great at what they do.

I arrived with a drawer with my name that had an apron and the meal/recipes I selected already, which you would do online (or in person at the store). I made an appointment to assemble my meals. Only one other customer was packing meals so I had no wait time at all at the various stations. I was shown how to pocket zip lock bags, fill them with pre-measured instruments of sauces, condiments, etc., following the instructions at each station, based on meals you selected on line. It was easy and kind of fun. It probably took me 45 minutes as a newbie. After I finished a zip lock bag meal, I put it in the refrigerator which also has your name for your reserved space while you are preparing the meals. They put them in my cooler and brought them to my car along with instructions. I froze 4 meals and placed 2 in my refrigerator to defrost for the week. I just baked and follow minimal instructions and the food ranges from delicious to good. My favorite was the mango glazed salmon and the pork chops w/potatoes. Then I thought the turkey meat loaves w/green beans followed by the sirloin tortellini were the next good ones. The pollo con arroz and the chicken tamale was the least favorite. Everything was fine. Some meals have "sides" while others just have the main dish. I can see this being a convenient way to cook dinner 3x/week (subscription is 12 meals a month, whose price varies based on the menu selected). I haven't decided yet whether I will continue because I actually like to shop and spend time cooking. You can cater to your own taste (i.e. put more of a spice or less) and great for those who just had a baby or want to save time. My only issue is that I'm still hungry--3 servings for me and my husband. I guess I just have a big appetite! The protein is portion size, i.e., palm of your hand for salmon or chicken breast. Regardless, I think that every meal should come with a "side dish" so you don't have to supplement. I definitely think the "intro" deal is worth it, and my friends, who each got a free meal and the option to buy 3 more meals at a discount, had a great time.

Measure pre-made ingredients and entrees, assemble it together in a zipped storage bag and go! The owners are hospitable and informative. I tried my first Dream Dinners meal back in 2009 and have been hooked ever since. What are my favorite meals from here? Firehouse Three Cheese Pasta with Meatballs would be my #1! Such a heavenly baked pasta/cheese/meatball combo, and you control the spiciness of this recipe (mild-three alarm!). Though I'm a scaredy-cat, so I stick to mild. Pub style chicken #2. Chicken breasts with bacon and melted cheese and to top it off, it's accompanied by a little ranch drizzle. Easy and quick to bake, I love it. And last but not least, #3, the Outlaw Chicken Sliders. Not only are they cute to plate, but soOoO remarkably tasty to eat. The bun resembles a mini ciabatta roll with white chicken breast patties, melted Swiss cheese and crispy French onions. Again, another dish that doesn't take long to make, about 20 minutes. Comes with a dynamite smokey chipotle sauce that I wish I had a whole jar or bottle of! A yummy menu for sure:) You can register for sessions to make meals by yourself, with family or friends. High five to this Dream Dinners to hosting a fun time for all!

I got the Orecchiette Con Salsiccia ($24) with ear shape pasta finished with sautéed garlic, olive oil, Italian sausage, pesto , chopped tomatoes, parmesan and mozzarella cheese in white wine cream sauce. It was very savory, creamy, and cheesy. It's one of the heavier pastas I've had but it's probably because I removed the rapini because I don't like the bitter taste. I thought the sausage quality was just okay and not the best. I loved the Al dente pasta. I would probably opt for a tomato base sauce here because I think they do the flavors so much better. My family got the Taglierini Neri Ai Frutti Di Mare ($27). Plenty amounts of seafood with really well cooked pasta. The portions here are massive! All of us had to take our dishes to go so I highly recommend coming here if you want to bring home seconds. Service was also attentive and I appreciated that the kitchen plated the panna cotta to celebrate Mother's Day. I never get panna cotta but this one was creamy and not too sweet with the blueberry sauce. Highly recommend.

Anthony and The Lean Machine team are the real deal. I just…read moretried The Lean Machine for the first time and I'm already hooked. Anthony went above and beyond -- even on a Sunday, he took time out of his day to personally meet up with me and make sure I got my meals. That kind of customer service is rare and it says everything about how much he cares about his customers. I ordered the Steak Chimichurri Fajita, Salmon with Kale Salad and Quinoa, Grilled Chicken Breast with Kale Salad and Sweet Potato, and the Ground Turkey Breast with Cauliflower and Sweet Potato -- and I've already eaten three of them. Every single one has been delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and nothing like the bland "diet food" I expected. I'm already planning to sign up for regular weekly deliveries and will absolutely be recommending The Lean Machine to friends and family. If you're on the fence, don't wait -- just try it. You won't be disappointed.

You can customize your meals to make them less expensive, less food, more protein, what have you. You can customize the portions too. You can mix and match. Or you can order a meal as is. That is one reason why I like them so much! If I don't eat the sauce or the type of veggie, I can switch them out and cancel the sauce and it adjusts the price of the food so I never pay for what I don't want! The meals are affordable, delivered right to you, and healthy! They offer a good variety of proteins, carbs, veggies, etc that it never feels like you are eating the same thing. I highly recommend them as a meal prep service! Ten out of ten recommend!

The woman at the register was very nice and the cook seemed to carry a great attitude as well. I noticed many customer coming were returning customers which is something I always like to see. California burrito was packed with meat and cooked to absolute perfection. I could actually taste the carne asada over everything which is honesty rare for me. The guacamole was not oozing out nor was it overpowering the taste of the whole burrito. The size of this thing was as about the size of my forearm! Filled me up for sure!! 6 rolled tacos with guacamole, sour cream and cheese was also perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of crunch on the ends and not too soft in the middles. Plenty of meat in the rolled tacos as well, which you could also taste well through all the toppings! We'll definitely be seeing you again soon Chuy's!!!

I ordered a California burrito and asked to swap in adobado pork. No hesitation, no side‑eye, just a nod and a "you got it." That alone puts them ahead of half the shops in the county. The burrito itself delivered. The adobado came through with that deep red glow and smoky tang, the kind of flavor that feels like it's been tended to, not rushed. Fold that into fries, cheese, and a tortilla doing quiet, reliable work, and you get a bite that hits all the right notes. Rich, bright, salty, satisfying. It's a simple thing done well, which is exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco shop. Chuy's isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making a damn good burrito and treating you right while they do it.

The vibe is effortlessly cool--think red leather booths, vintage neon, and a mood that feels like Frank Sinatra might walk in at any moment. The highlight of the experience is the unique "Grill-Your-Own" steak concept. There is something incredibly social and fun about seasoning your own hand-cut steak and hanging out around the communal grill with friends or neighbors. If you're not in the mood to grill, their kitchen menu is equally impressive; the Turquoise Tots, Brisket Corn Dogs, and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp are legendary. Don't skip the Turquoise Room for drinks. The craft cocktails are expertly made (the "Art Snob" is a personal favorite), and they have a fantastic selection of local beers. With live music playing most nights, it's the perfect spot for a date night or a lively evening out with a group. Between the top-notch service and the one-of-a-kind atmosphere, the Riviera is easily one of the best spots in San Diego's East County. Highly recommended!

We began with the deviled eggs--a classic reimagined with such precision they served as the perfect structural opening to the meal. The true showstopper, however, was the Filet Mignon. Topped with a vibrant, hand-cut chimichurri, the steak didn't just meet the knife; it surrendered. The sauce provided a brilliant counterpoint: fresh, crisp, and possessing a light, tingly spice that dances on the palate rather than overwhelming it. Even the greens were a celebration; the "weed salad" arrived as a kaleidoscopic "rainbow of happiness," proving that even the most virtuous courses can be indulgent. Pair this with a cocktail program defined by their house-made syrups, and you have a destination that understands the assignment: total sensory restoration. Salud.
