The concept here is similar to Chipotle, but with Mediterranean cuisine, and the portions are a bit smaller. I enjoyed the beef meatballs, but I found the harissa chicken to be quite dry—it was almost crunchy. The staff member who recommended it said it was a popular choice, but I shouldn't have taken a chance on grilled chicken at a fast-casual place. *Facepalm.* On the positive side, the lemon vinaigrette was excellent, the greens were fresh, and the saffron rice was flavorful. The crazy feta and hummus were tasty, and the yogurt sauce along with the other toppings were decent. There are limits on how many toppings you can choose, which are clearly indicated on a sticker on the glass. I...
Wow, ok... so the food was average, but with an extremely small portion size. The service, however, was incompetent and honestly had me questioning my sanity. I ordered directly from the menu above the counter, and no one working knew what I was talking about – after telling them ‘and pointing’ to the menu, a third employee had to intervene. I was then charged 25% higher than the advertised price. When I pointed it out, the cashier quickly threw away my receipt (that she was handing to me) and looked at me with a blank face saying nothing. So I left, feeling like I just had a run-in with the Cheshire Cat.
I'm a huge fan of CAVA, and this location did not disappoint. The service was incredibly quick, yet everything is prepared fresh in a real kitchen, similar to Chipotle. Most of the options are healthy, featuring fresh super greens and an abundance of vegetable toppings. It's alarming that there are so few fast-casual, healthy dining options in the country. I really hope CAVA opens a location in Oceanside!
yum. all i need to say. and the lemon bowl was very bright and strong. still good but they have other bowls that i love even more! love the drinks too
