Last time was during the winter time and we chose Ramen at District 1 and my partner chose pizza at one of the other for stands. The Ramen was perfectly prepared and steaming hot for the cold rainy day. My partner was satisfied with his pepperoni pizza slice and coffee drink. Darned, we devoured them so quickly that w forgot to take pictures. Recently (in fact it was just four days ago) we decided to return since we were nearby. This time, I had the "salad-jones" and decided on salmon over a bed of greens at La Vida, while my partner decided on sweets and coffee drinks. Totally for both our meals each time ranged from under $50. Ample parking with a bar also inside the mall.

The sandwiches were rich, flavorful and huge. The ingredients were fresh and savory. They were individually wrapped neatly. The service was fast. I will go back to try different sandwiches.

As a longtime Veggie Grill patron, this review is long overdue and very well deserved. I have been…read moregoing since the days when they had a location in UTC, and now that the only San Diego metro spot is in Carlsbad, I still make the drive at least once a month. That alone should tell you where this is going. Veggie Grill offers a wide variety of fully vegan options in a fast casual setting. I am especially fond of the burgers and the protein plates, particularly the Beyond steak meal with broccoli and brown rice. The Beyond steak is a great addition to the menu. It's well seasoned, cooked just right, and has a satisfying texture that really hits the right note. The steak protein plate is a highly recommended choice. Another easy recommendation is the strawberry lemonade. It strikes a great balance, not too sweet and not too tart. Because they use real strawberries, it can be a bit thick, so I sometimes add a splash of water to lighten it up. Bottom line, Veggie Grill is a great option for both vegans and non vegans who want a satisfying plant based meal. Portions are solid, flavors are on point, and the quality is consistent across the board. Parking during peak lunch and dinner hours can be a bit of a challenge since the lot is shared with high traffic spots like Costco and its gas station. It can get busy. I have found that arriving shortly after they open around 11 AM makes for a much smoother experience with lighter traffic and easier parking.

I ordered the Crispy Organic Tofu plate with chimichurri sauce, which comes with two sides. I chose the buttery jalapeño corn and the pickled cucumber salad. The tofu was cooked well and paired nicely with the chimichurri sauce. I also enjoyed the corn and it wasn't spicy to me at all. The cucumbers, however, didn't taste pickled. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, even as someone who isn't vegan.

Ordering took just a couple minutes. There is a sign stating they are short staffed and to be patient. After seeing that, I expected food to take a good amount of time to be ready. I found my friend and picked a seat on the other side of the food hall where daylight was still brightening up the place. As soon as I sat down, my buzzer vibrated and my meal was ready. It was much faster than expected. I was impressed with the food quality, portion size, price and service. I would definitely eat from this establishment again. Parking was also very easy, plentiful, and free.

We went on Friday around 5:30 pm and thought it would be super busy but it wasn't. It had a nice, chill vibe to it. The weather was perfect for dining al fresco. Walking in there's a counter to order for food & non-alcoholic drinks and if you want an alcoholic drink you order at the bar. There's also a salsa bar. Plenty of seating both indoor and out. The employees were friendly, helpful & efficient. Ivan at the bar was very nice and gave my husband a warm welcome knowing it was our first time. Every dish we ordered was off the hook! Delicious! We would expect this at a more higher end restaurant. And the salsas were also good! Very flavorful. It's cute that they served some of the food on blue and white Talavera dishes that were chipped on the edges, which made them look homey. The margaritas (they only make the standard lime flavor) were good but not a good value. Mostly all ice and not strong at all. Overall, good place to get delicious Mexican food. Was a good find!

The server took our order promptly also and my guest and I split the Toucan with Sweet Potato Fries. The fries stole the show; unfortunately the chicken wasn't done enough for my preference. I should have sent it back but we powered through to get on our way. Solid 3.5 dining experience. Recommendation: Sure. If you need a vibe pick me up and some great sweet potato fries.
