“I went there for the first time today, and it was delicious! The server was extremely patient since I felt at a loss, but in the end, I was able to create a flavorful and delicious combo with her help. Also, the blended straberry limonade was amazing, very refreshing! * Everything tasted fresh! I would definitely recommend this place and come back again. The ambiance was very clean with good music.“
“From the moment I stepped into Pom Olive in Costa Mesa, I knew I was in for a treat. This gem of a restaurant offers a culinary journey that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves you craving for more.Let’s talk about the falafel first - crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, perfectly spiced, and served with just the right amount of tahini sauce. It’s evident that Pom Olive puts a lot of love and expertise into their falafel, making it a must-try for anyone visiting.The lentil soup is another masterpiece. Rich, comforting, and seasoned to perfection, it’s like a warm hug in a bowl. Whether you’re here on a chilly evening or just looking for a hearty start to your meal, this soup is an excellent choice.The roasted cauliflower deserves its own accolade. It’s roasted to a delightful crispiness while retaining a tender interior, and the spices used are spot on, enhancing the natural flavors of the cauliflower without overwhelming them.And then there’s the baklava - oh, the baklava! It’s simply the best I’ve had. Sweet, nutty, and layered with the most perfectly flaky pastry, it’s a sublime end to an already fantastic meal. Pom Olive truly excels in delivering this classic dessert with a balance of flavors that is hard to find elsewhere.I cannot conclude this review without mentioning Luke, our server for the evening. His recommendations were spot-on, and his attentive, friendly service greatly enhanced our dining experience. Luke’s passion for the restaurant’s offerings and his eagerness to share it with patrons make a visit to Pom Olive all the more special.In summary, Pom Olive in Costa Mesa is a culinary treasure. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is friendly and attentive, and every dish I tried was a testament to the skill and passion behind the kitchen. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to give Pin Olive a visit. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.Adding a personal touch about the staff, like mentioning Luke, can really round out a review and give others a sense of the service quality.“
“My experience here was great, powered by GREAT service. Candice A answered a bunch of first timer questions and was just pleasant in a world of unhappy humans.Grabbed a Left Coast Pastrami with secret sauce and it was what I would expect. Good bread, descent ratio of pastrami, warmed up and delicious.Sat at the bar and enjoyed great conversations and service from Ricky. 12 beers/seltzer on tap. 10 other canned beer/wine. 3 TVs across the restaurant. They try to always have games going worth watching. Sure they would throw your favorite on if you ask.Will definitely return.Maybe you should ask if they have a secret menu.Parking: This is in a busy shopping center. Lots of parking, but can get busy at the right times.Wheelchair accessibility: It's accessible“
“This place has amazing vegan food!! My girlfriend and I always stop by whenever we are in the area. The nachos and tacos are our personal favorites! The location is also perfect because right after you finish eating you can explore the little shops around and digest a bit. The staff is also very nice and who doesn’t love that? Highly recommend!“
“It's crazy how you can go to a "fine dining" restaurant like Mastros or SET for the white table linen and white glove service but the food could be mediocre at best! This restaurant has the best of both worlds; although we sacrificed white linens and big fancy wine glasses, you get in return some of the best flavored and textured food on the market. The pasta that I serve at the fine dining steakhouse I work at is soooooooooo gross compared to what you can get here for literally half the cost. I think a Mac n cheese or Rigatoni pasta at SET can run you $35, but here you can get an appetizer and entree for that price. Wow the flavors and quality do not disappoint! It was my second sip of wine where the ambiance finally got me; gives me Godfather vibes. There's low ceiling lights that are broken up by the arms of a the rotating fans. It gives such a mysterious and old school vibe. Id rather eat here, get great service and pay half the cost and go home with a fully belly and a huge smile on my face. I literally cannot wait to go back next Sunday for dinner!“
“It's literally the best bowl I've ever had!I had 2 scoops of protein for $13. good size plate, fresh fish, well cooked rice and friendly service ? sorry for my empty plate photo, it was too good to wait for the pics ?* Docked a star only because of the ventilation. Nothing bad, just smells like the kitchen right upon entering.“
“This is where you want to go for a casual meal that's healthy but still delicious. They have online ordering which makes dining here easy and convenient. To be honest, the photos on their site looked a little too healthy to me and not very appealing. But I'm glad I decided to give them a try anyway. Their focus is on rotisserie chicken and you can see them cooking in the front window. The place is small and cozy with a few tables for dining in but it seems like a lot of people order take out. I got the Combo #1 ($12.50) that comes with a 1/4 rotisserie chicken, two sides and cornbread or tortilla. The cashier warned me it would be a small piece of chicken (which it was) but it's enough for one person if you're not too hungry. The chicken was cooked perfectly and pairs well with their lemon garlic sauce, which is more lemony than garlic. I chose coleslaw and mashed potatoes as sides and they tasted like they were homemade. I really enjoyed the unique flavor of the coleslaw. I think it had pineapple in it. The food here is simple but flavorful and fresh. You don't have to feel guilty about eating out when you come here.“
“I ordered the Righteous Reuben and the Beach Bites. I must say that the Righteous Ruben was absolutely delicious. The Beach Bites was also a good pick I really enjoyed my food and I definitely recommend this place if you are craving some tasty pastrami.“
“Very nice atmosphere, great menu with original items and large selection, friendly service, amazing sushi, and super fresh veggies for the tempura - great prices too, will repeat! ?Vegetarian options: Veggie tempura was super fresh, enjoyed very much, will order again.“
“I noticed immediately about 80% of capacity at 10:45am (good sign). Lots of regulars. The home made chips and salsa (red) ♥️. I had 3 chicken enchiladas rice and beans $15. The beans are amazing w/melted cheese on top. Service is great. This is a traditional Mexican restaurant family operated. People are drinking beer. Lively music on Monday morning. Lot's of cute kids at tables. Kid friendly ??. I would like more red sauce on the enchiladas. I know these independently owned restaurants are having challenging times w/inflation. Support please!Kid-friendliness: Almost every table had kids enjoying food“
“It’s my first time trying EveryTable, and I am still undecided on whether I should keep buying more of their products. The quality is great, but the portions seem a bit too small. The meals are on average between 350 and 500 calories for lunch meals, so I would theoretically need 4-5 of those meals per day for someone who is physically active.Besides my experience with food, I was lucky enough on my first time picking my food that the person working there handed me my order after the store was closed. Indeed, as of January 11, 2024 their store hours show that this location is closing at 8PM every day while they actually close at 6PM… PLEASE UPDATE YOUR STORE HOURS.Thanks again to the worker who handed me my order even though the store was closed. Otherwise, I would have definitely had a negative experience.“
“Hands-down the best Indian/Nepalese food I've been able to find in OC! I often get take-out from here. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic. Amar and the staff there are so friendly and kind. Always a joy to interact with them!The Kashmiri cherry almond Naan is heaven...I've never had anything like it before!I will be back for the rest of my life.Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and there are so many fantastic options! I've still yet to try all of them!“
“We stumbled upon this little gem by accident, and we are so happy we did. Beto and Maribel were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Excellent service, quality food, we'll definitely be back to check out the fire pit! P.S. We had the pesto sun-dried tomato and pepperoni arugula flatbreads and we really enjoyed them. My mom LOVED the Espresso Martini!“
“Have you ever visited a spot and the first item you ordered was so tasty you never try another item on the menu? The grilled chicken wrap with their green sauce @ The Kebab Shop had that affect with me. I've stopped in four or five times now and that is my go to item (add rice please). Each time the chicken wrap lands at my table I'm amazed it how big it is, I tell myself to be responsible and save half for later...that never happens. I always finish in one seating, so tasty. Yes, the price point is a little spendy. I feel the quality, freshness and serving size more than offset that.“
“Holy guacamole, these oysters are the bomb. Love the location and can feel the fresh ocean vibes reflected in the oyster being served here. Was amazed by the love and care received from staff here in taking care of my food needs. Can't wait to be back!!“
“I've been coming to this Mendocino Farms for years and there are many reasons why I come back. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is delicious and makes me feel good, and the service. The employees here are SO nice. My favorite thing to get is the avocado quinoa salad with chicken. I was here with my mom having a rough day while we waited for news about our dog at the vet, and all 3 employees I interacted with made my day. You never know what someone is going through, and I really appreciated them being so thoughtful and KIND. Normally, I'm in high spirits when I come in, and I want to say thank you for being so kind to us when we were feeling down.“
“Smoothies are basic. Not as much flavor as other places. Too much ice IMO. I do like that they have hemp protein as an option compared to most places that only have pea protein as a vegan option. Staff members are very kind and always available to answer questions. Lots of parking. Down side is there's not really any good space for dining in and the few tables that are inside always seem to be dirty, as well as the booth benches. There's an outdoor area, but its not very cozy. I suggest to just grab and go.“
“I recently visited Cancun Juice in Costa Mesa and let me tell you, their tortas are out of this world! Move over Northgate's torta, there's a new sheriff in town. The staff at Cancun Juice is incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the cleanliness of the place is on point. It's been 8 years since I first went there, and they haven't lost their amazing customer service skills. Oh, and don't even get me started on their aguas frescas and juices. The mango flavor is my absolute favorite. Trust me, this place is a hidden gem that'll satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more. Five stars all the way!“
“YUMMM♡Japanese Approved☆☆☆They are YUMMY! and GlutenFree!?!The cashier lady was so Nice that she suggested me to get 1kg, instead of buying 8pieces Reg Karaage and 8pieces Sweet+Sour, getting 1kg Karaage with side Sweet+Sour sauce which got us 6pieces Extra, just A dollar more♡Thank You and will be back!!!Reheated them with airFryer, they tasted Perfect!!! Yay!“
“This is one of my favorite places to go for some authentic mexican in Costa Mesa. My favorite thing is their tacos al vapor (which I feel like is usually super hard to come by) with their tamarindo and end it with fresas con crema. Service is solid and their salsa bar even more so. Love this place!Vegetarian options: They have nopales, papas and tofu options on some plates.Parking: Parking lot with multiple spots shared with other local companies“
“Really healthy and delicious food options. We had the Cobb salad and opted for the vegan ranch which had dill in it. Tasty. We also had a pesto turkey panini also good. My daughter got the bacon and egg burrito and also liked it. My daughter loves the stubborn pineapple cream soda they have on tap.Clean restaurant and helpful and friendly staff.“
“I am loving the healthy vegetarian options! I'm not a vegan, but I love eating vegetarian options as much as possible and typically during the week. It's delicious fresh and taste great. I love the mushrooms Carnitas, the squash salad, and all the wraps.“
“Food was great. Our server was great. The drinks kept taking a long time. We probably could have ordered more drinks but decided not to because they took forever to come out. The music was outrageously loud. Like super duper loud. One more thing about the food. I got the zarandeado which on the photo has 2 filets, my order came with one. It was delicious however“
“Great little healthy kitchen eatery. The food is delicious and the service is great. If you are lucky, you will have the pleasure of being served and helped by Jennifer, Greenleaf's true gem! It's the people just as much as the food that keep bringing you back.“
“Manager is so good that when he sees you walk through the door he knows exactly what to tell the cook to start making. Now that's a manager!!!If something is not to your liking he takes care of it.Parking: Depending on the time of day is whether it is extremely easy or a little difficult to park.“
“Really cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, tasty food and drinks; friendly service. (I appreciate that they take reservations!) Parking is not too bad... there's some spots right in front but there is a structure that validates for 2hrs. We got the Red Rock and Pork Belly burger/sandwich - both really rich in flavor; pork belly had a nice kick. The peach mojito and mimosa flight were also great choices. I will say food and drinks took a little bit of time to arrive though.“
“CAVA offers a refreshing take on fast-casual dining, serving as a healthier alternative to Chipotle. One of the standout features of CAVA is their commitment to transparency, evident in their practice of listing calories on each menu item. This makes it incredibly easy for guests to make informed decisions about their meal choices, empowering them to control their calorie intake according to their preferences.But just because CAVA emphasizes health doesn't mean they compromise on taste. On the contrary, the food at CAVA is not only nutritious but also bursting with delicious flavors. It's a testament to their dedication to providing wholesome and satisfying meals without sacrificing taste.An added bonus of dining at CAVA is the complimentary thin bread given with each food purchase.

Whether you're looking for a nutritious meal or simply craving delicious food, CAVA is an excellent choice.“
“Best sourdough bread around. So fresh and delicious! Usually there's a line but I came early today around 11am and I went straight to order at the counter. This restaurant also has a mobile app for mobile orders and a kiosk to place orders if you don't want to wait in line. I got the oatmeal raisin cookie and it's crunchy yet chewy. So good!“
“This is my absolute favorite place to eat in Southern California! The flavors and quality of the food & smoothies are the absolute best. Everything I have ever tried is so delicious and healthy! Your body is fueled with such nutritious food that is full of flavor, you won’t be disappointed. I moved to another State and always eat at Vibe whenever I visit. So so good! The Jack fruit tacos are my favorite.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the Jack fruit tacos & the berry waffles!“
