Burger and salad
Kristina N.

This service is a life saver. Their food tastes healthy and fresh. My favorite things to order are their burgers and bowls. It is one of the main ways I get my vegetables in. With their point system I like to earn enough to get their protein donuts available in the fridge. Their whole shop has a good variety if protein needs.

First time trying Black market and it's the happening place to be! I'm surprised how one little shop can make sooo many varieties of meals. I actually feel like I'm super late to the party on this one. At first it was a little overwhelming with all the options and walking in, but I got a super solid run through. The hot meal I tried was just as good as any restaurant meal in addition that you just feel better knowing it's been carefully planned out for your overall nutritional needs. The salmon and steak both tasted like it came off a flame grill, you'd never expect it to be from a meal prep place. Mid-week eating what I picked up on Monday and I'm still happy eating my custom lunch. Highly recommend. Let the staff and the establishment do the work for you once in a while! We deserve it right?

Turkey Ke Koa. So good!
Michael P.

Just tried Black Market Meal prep. Got the turkey Ke Koa and it's super delicious. The folks here are very nice and helpful and it's got a cool trendy vibe. It seems more geared towards grab and go but they do have a few spots to sit. To be clear the meal I got was hot but they do have refrigerators there as well and you can get a bunch of healthy protein snacks there too.

This place is a gold mine ALL ORGANIC produce. My favorite meal prep restaurant. You can order hot or cold meals and it doesn't need to be meal preps. They have burgers, bowls salads you name it! I love how many variations you can make with all of the ingredients they have. Love how vegan friendly they are. Perfect for tracking macros and reaching your body goals. The sauces are delicious. Rewards program is really cool too. It's like a candy shop for people who want to eat a healthy and balanced diet. Only thing I'm sad about is the extensive plastic use/waste. I asked if I can bring my own Tupperware's they said no because of food inspection which I understand. Hey I tried lol. I really don't like using and discarding all this plastic. Not a deal breaker--but something to improve for the environment.

One of the grab and go..50 percent off
David W.

Decided to try Black Market meal prep on Wednesday this past week after I had mt doctors appointment. Was looking for a good meal prep with fresh made food or grab and go. Was impressed with the inside and the variety of fresh meat and veggies to create your own..first I bought two grab and go on Wednesday.. to see how good the food was before I delve into the made to order food..the two grab and go were chicken thigh with veggies and rice. Comes in a ready to microwave container..expired date was the 15th and bought on the 14th..fresh ..full of flavors and is enough for a single guy watching his diet. No preservatives..fresh as stated on the label. So come Saturday..decided to go back and create my own..both 5oz as are the grab and go. Got teriyaki chicken with green beans and sweet potatoes on one and lime tri tip with carrots and red potatoes..as well as three grab and go. All were 50 percent off due to expired date today the 17th. Such a deal and stay fresh a day after. The create your own is 4 day..I will be going here often to get my meal prep..fresh and no hassle to cook. Clean up or ruin a meal..

Black Market is fantastic! A little pricey but they offer up some great quality food so you know you're getting quality service as well! Walking in, it kind of feels like a gym bro's heaven, but don't let that intimidate you as their food is meant for anyone and everyone. As someone who is becoming more and more food conscious and as someone who works in the EMS field, I need something fast, solid, and simple--Black Market is always there for me!

Bison Burger
Debbie F.

A meal prep company with a storefront location and delicious food that lasts!!! Easy ordering both in store or order ahead. On my first visit they said "make sure to consume within 5 days." I was so skeptical of it lasting that long because no freshly prepared food I've ever ordered from any other meal prep company lasts more than a few days. Of course I left some meals til 5 days out and they tasted just as fresh as the day I bought them. Wow!!! Prices are affordable for fresh, quality, healthy food. Pre-portioned out helps keep me on track. They have a great variety of flavors for the various protein options which helps to mix things up and not feel board. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the bison burger!!! Seriously the best I've had. Moist, flavorful, perfect portion...I literally crave it weekly since discovering this spot. The bison burger is only served during limited hours mid-day during the week, when they offer the hot menu. Stop in for lunch, it won't disappoint. They also have some packaged and pre-made refrigerator items available. Everything I have tried so far is a win.

I love that I can go in and pick out my meal prep. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious and satisfying. Everyone inside was helpful and friendly.

We had food poisoning at this location a few weeks back. The owners were extremely rude to us and accused us of lying. This morning another customer of theirs reached out to me via DM that he ALSO got food poisoning from this location. See below the screenshots. I'm willing to go out of my way and report this because the way the business owner treat customers who fell ill from their food is simply unacceptable. ----------------- Update 2: I think the real issue here is you never cared about us getting food poisoning from your food, nor do you choose to believe it. This is what differentiate you from 99% other legit businesses and is what's truly irritating. You mentioned that if we had reached out to you first you would have given us a refund, it's extremely confusing bc: 1. Margarita specifically told us "no refund" whatsoever, so what would have been the point of asking you for help? 2. Say you truly wanted to acknowledge responsibility and give us a refund like you claimed, isn't that what is happening right now?? You customers are getting what you were gonna offer anyways: We are getting our refund and it is because your food made us sick... Really confused at this point what you are arguing about... is it that you are blaming us why not asking for your help when you weren't gonna help, or is it that we did get a refund which is what you claimed you would have done anyways? What did we do wrong other than making a mistake in giving you guys a try? And like I said, I specifically wanted to spare you a bad review online, which is why I chose to file a chargeback privately through my bank. As a customer, that's the easiest way to protect ourselves The fact that you are all pissy about the outcome tells me that had we reached out to you in the first place, we would have been called a lier and denied a refund anyways... and your whole "if you reached out first we'll glad refund you" would never have happened. Let's be real. As to these public reviews now, it's all thanks to interacting with you both. We are paying customers who got sick from your food, and we received absolute no empathy, no professionalism, instead we were called fraudulent, and you were somehow "exposing" us. Smh, seriously? Wow. ------------------------------ Update - based on the hostility in the response, need I say more?This whole time they never checked in with us one time how we are doing from food poisoning from their food, and never asked us what our experience was like. Went straight into defense mode. Bryan, I spoke with her bc I was the one that filed the charge spoke. I specifically wanted to spare you of a public terrible review. Oh well, you are unprofessional and we all can see. I have no words... PS: please read my updated google review. All the details are included in there. Crazy how a terrible business can drag into such drama. This is a first... ------------- Found out about this business over google, entrusted them and ordered over $100 of meal prep at the first go. Food is NOT fresh and what's worse, both my wife and I got food poisoning. Filed a chargeback with our bank due to this, and was subsequently harassed by the owner (Margarita or whatever her name is), saying we were fraudulent and they want us to resolve it in a "civil" manner. Calling your customer fraudulent bc they had food poisoning from your food sure doesn't sound civil or professional. The whole time they were on the defensive end, never wanted to even listen, and started arguing with me like it's Instagram politics. I could give this place -5 star if I could. Margarita, please stop harassing us. If you think we are fraudulent please go talk to our bank. Regardless, im very disappointed by this interaction and will definitely not recommend it to anyone. this is not a good look on you and how you run a business. I simply can't believe the service can be worse than the food.

$12-15 EACH for a bland Weight Watchers type meal AND you have to order ONE BUSINESS DAY AHEAD. What!? You gotta be kidding me. I get you are a busy, health conscious, planner type of person if you are eating here but you are much better off meal prepping at home in terms of cost and flavor. Bumped them up a star because the special (citrus jerk) shrimp is good.

Gladiator Bowl w/ sweet potato's

This place is 20/10!!! The quality and taste always 110%! Quick service (even during lunch time) and quality food! My go to is the Gladiator Bowl. Service always friendly. I recommend to friends and colleagues! (Couldn't wait to take a picture before having a bite)

The meals were always very fresh, perfectly cooked, good combinations, healthy portions and very flavorful without too much sodium or fat. Delicious balanced meals with reasonable calories. They ensure their meals heat well in the microwave so foods are not overcooked (a common problem with other services). Their salmon & shrimp dishes always heated perfectly, their breakfasts are amazing as are the low carb cookies. My husband, who hates veggies as a rule, and often complained that there were too many veggies (there were not), is now complaining we are not getting nearly enough fresh veggies in the services we have tried. Converting my husband to a veggie eater is quite an accomplishment. We are not finding anything here in SD that comes close. So many meal prep services with enormous hype and marketing, and terrible food. Huge menus, but only a few dishes with reasonable calories. 1100 calorie breakfasts? Really?

Chef Alex consistently delivers fresh, delicious meals that fit perfectly with my goals and my physique. Since starting with them, I've lost weight, I feel great, and I have way more energy throughout the week. One of the biggest benefits is the time I save--no cooking, no cleaning, no washing dishes. That alone is a game changer, especially as a busy parent. Instead of spending my evenings in the kitchen, I get to spend that time with my kids. Another huge plus: they offer kids meals, which makes life even easier and keeps my son and daughter happy with healthy options. If you want great food, more free time, and a healthier lifestyle, Healthy Fresh Meal Prep is the way to go. Highly recommended!

So I was having a Emmy's party with about 15 friends and decided on getting some Mexican food…read morecatered. Saw this new biz on Yelp, and decided to give it a try. First the delivery - they got our order right YaY! the food was delivered in a very timely fashion, and the delivery guy was very nice. But the important thing - the food was hot when it arrived, so we were happy about that. Pork Red Chile Tamales - The tamales passed my "fork test". I sliced the tamales in half, and it just slid right through the tamales. It was so nice. The tamales were nice n' soft, yet just a little firm. The pork was so tender, and the moment I cut into the tamales, the tender pulled pork meat was just steaming...I am getting hungry now just thinking about it now! (see photo). I took 1 bite, and first thing that comes to my mind - "home-cooked". These tamales are definitely home-cooked, and it tasted like an old family recipe. Cooked by "mama". That's my gut-feeling, and my gut is usually always right. ;) My 1 word review for this dish: BOMB. Mmm...Mmm...Yummy (Tamales)! Chicken Mole - OMG I love the Chicken Mole! Everything was so fresh that it tasted just like it was cooked right off of our own stove! :) The chicken was still hot n' steamy, and OMG I am just melting right now thinking about how tender and juicy that chicken was. It was so tender that I almost thought it was pulled chicken. It wasn't. And top that off with authentic home-made mole sauce. I could rave about the mole sauce. It was amazing! It's definitely an original "home-made" recipe with a slight chocolate taste, probably passed down from generations...because it screams of authenticity. They definitely used good ingredients because it felt healthy, not heavy like the Mexican food I'm used to. Everything was light and fresh. Now that's an oxymoron when it comes to describing Mexican food. The rice was light n' fluffy too, and I drizzled some mole sauce on top of the rice to give it a nice flavorful kick. Yum. (see photo). My 1 word review for the Chicken Mole... - "Mmmmm......." Ok, that's not a technically word, but on Yelp it counts. ;) The food has really won me over in this review plus delivery comparable to Speedy Gonzalez. I'm sold! I'd definitely like to try their other tamales as well next time - chicken green chile, traditional beef, and poblano chiles & queso fresco. I'm drooling just thinking about it. They should rename their catering to Mmm...*drool* Tamales. :D

This is my final review, after receiving this bribe, which was just a dumb threat from Mr…read more Oliveros, that he assumed made him sound like a business man; ========================= "Since you say the food was good, then here is my proposition to you. I will cater to your entire company free of charge every other Friday until the end of 2015. Catering will include tamales, rice, beans, Mexican glass bottled soda, and dessert. Now here is the simple part. All you have to do is post a picture of the dated email that includes the Paypal invoice or the signed Square receipt that I send to my customers every time an order is delivered. Upon arrival at a location, customers will sign their name on my phone and I immediately send them a copy via email. So just have your "co-worker" forward you the email, and then we can start the free catering as soon as this Friday. In the meantime, the Tamales will be slowly steaming waiting for your response." ========================= I'm not falling for your scam, I've gone through my legal advisers and have discovered that you still live with your parents off Susan St. in Santa Ana. There is no way you can afford this. Please just stop, it's not even funny, and since you've called me a liar openly you have been reported. Stop harassing me, bye.

My boyfriend and I went in thinking to ourselves, "we'll just try it for a few weeks", and we we've had our meals weekly from here for the past few months! We love it! We used to order from Freshly before and there really is no comparison. These meals taste home-cooked, while Freshly truly tasted like freezer meals. I also love the way I feel when I eat the food. The food feels fresh and wholesome in my body! I will say that the meals vary in size. We opted for the low carbohydrate 4 oz meal plan option so naturally, the meals are rather light. Some meals are a bit on the smaller side and I get hungry again in 90 minutes or so while some meals are larger and I am unable to eat it in one sitting. I do think some of the meals are lacking in salt/seasoning, but I just shake a little bit of "Everything but the Bagel Seasoning" from Trader Joe's and it does the job! The meals I enjoy most are the meals that include a sauce or meals with flavors that I know I enjoy. I do find that the meals that are simply a protein (ex: chicken) and a side of vegetables with no sauce are almost always dry. Overall, I highly recommend this service! There is such a variety in the foods week to week and day to day. The food is well cooked and tastes of quality. It feels good in my body and most importantly, I feel good knowing that I am eating good food!

I am very happy with the service, and I love supporting as local as possible! I would definitely recommend to try if you are interested in a meal prep service and are local in their service area. I think if I could offer any feedback it would be great if there were some vegetarian options or swaps available someday?
