Need better allergy tracking

After telling them that I am allergic to sesame, I got a smoothie that had tahini (sesame paste) in it which led to me having an allergic reaction.

Truly delicious

I’ve been here twice now. And it’s great. I first got the South of the Border Burger, with a black bean patty, and added loaded fries. So freaking good, and really satisfies the craving for a burger. On my way out I got a brownie from their grab and go section, which was also really great.
Just ordered a California Burrito, which was great. I will say that it’s smaller than most Cali burritos I’ve had (non vegan), but it was very filling, and had a lot more flavors than most places.

Pros: All vegan , Very affordable , Delicious

Cons: The website menu is different from the actual , Not all grab and go is available everyday

The food is incredible. Loved the chili cheese fries, the “chicken” nuggets, the burgers!!! I would love to live closer to San Diego just to be close to this place!

Charging tax on to-go orders

When specifically confronted about this issue, the employee got a manager for us to speak with. The manager stated he had no idea and wasn’t sure why they charge tax on to-go orders. I have to wonder how much money they have gotten from the community in this sneaky way. It’s an illegal move against CA law. I would strongly not recommend visiting this establishment.

Pros: Vegan food

Cons: Charging tax on to-go orders against CA law

Chilli cheese fries!

Stopped by for a late afternoon bite and got the chilli cheese fries. Really delicious bean chilli with a beef substitute. Vegan cheddar was mixed in under the chilli and mozzarella on top. Was really great quality. Only wish I had got the giant brownie as well as it looked incredible!

Pros: Fresh, Patio seating, Good range of options

Cons: So many choices it was hard to decide!

This has to be my favorite vegan joint I have tried. I always order the chicken buffalo extra crispy. It's the best sandwich I have tried.

Wow. Super good.

Super tasty but probably not super healthy. Try the carne asada street tacos. The menu looks like they serve meat, so bring your friends who still dine on flesh and let them order up beef burgers, carne asada, fish tacos and then just giggle as they talk about how good it is.

DANG! Good!

I took my non-veg cousin here and I am glad I did.
Friendly staff and reasonable prices and most of all great food. I had the burrito and he had a burger. Two spacious outdoor seating patios. My cousin can't stop raving about the food several days later.

Pros: Good Food, Fast with a drive-thru, Good price

Amazing food

This place is literally my go to whenever I am craving a burrito or really anything for that matter! I tend to always get my usual, which is a California burrito to which I request an add on of lettuce and a side of their chipotle sauce. So good! Although to me the “carne asada” doesn’t taste like it, from my prior experience before going vegan it tastes more like a combination of adobada and al pastor. Either way extremely flavorful and would recommend this place to anyone who is interested in trying vegan food or just looking for a good recommendation.

Pros: Delicious options, Has a drive thru

Cons: Drive thru is a bit slow when busy , Limited parking

Evolution

It was nice to go to a fast food restaurant that was completely vegan. The bacon cheeseburger was excellent, and south of the border are for those who like a little bit of a kick. There is an outside patio to sit which is cozy.

Updated from previous review on 2012-03-28

Cons: Difficult to substitute for other items, Don't expect fast food prices, Somewhat friendly staff

Take Out

Great Location, we had burgers fries and raw tacos. I’m crazy for the tacos, the burger was good. The seating area was shabby so next time I’ll be taking it for a picnic

Pros: Close to the park, Good food, perfect for a picnic

Cons: Seating Area is sad

Solid value fast food

We both had a southwest variation of a blackbean burger along with sweet potato chips.
The food was tasty.
The patio where we ate needs a facelift. It was depressing and felt like eating under a carport awning in a seedier part of town.

Pros: Sweet potato chips, Price

Cons: Parking is scarce. Parking on street is metered., Dining area is rundown and tables needed cleaning.

mouthwatering perfection

This place is dreamy treat for vegans and fans of vegan cuisine. Kombucha on tap, some fabulous raw items (tacos and burger served in cabbage-leaf bun-wrap and all the comfort foods. Chili is a zesty, robust, hearty. Customizable for additional dietary restrictions. Innovative, bursting with delicious flavor and superfood goodness. Lovely, roomy and relaxing patio. Highly recommended.

ehhh

The back patio was relaxing
Food took quite awhile considering no one else was here
The buffalo wings were tasty but a bit soggy, have had better.
The bacon cheeseburger was a greasy mess I didn’t even finish.
Cool that there is a drive thru but won’t be coming back in the car or on foot

convenient

We frequent and it's been hit or miss for us. Generally good food, convenient, casual atmosphere, nice staff...awkward parking lot, decent food. South of the border tempeh burger however, is consistently good.

Pros: nice variety of food options

Cons: inconsistent; sometimes amazing, other times meh..
