    Kids meal with no pita :(
    Tin-Trung P.

    They had no pita!!! I understand that it happens, but they didn't let me know until the very end when I was getting ready to pay. It might not be that big of a deal to people, but I think it would be a courtesy to tell the customer before they pay that they won't get anything as replacement. The food that was available was good, and the seating was plentiful both indoors and out. But I felt like the service could have been a bit better.

    Came in last night with a group of friends. Quick service and really helpful to my friends who were first timers. Food was great I think I'd just like the protein portion to be a bit more.

    The service was great, the food was great, and the outdoor seating area was pleasant. It was my first time trying Cava and I was pretty happy with it. I would get it again for sure.

    I've been to this location a handful of times and have usually had a good experience, but today was very disappointing. Is Cava becoming the new Chipotle? I ordered online for pickup, and both bowls were very bare. One order was the Grains Bowl with half lentils and half saffron rice. The lentils were undercooked and still hard. The store was busy, but service itself seemed normal. However, the food line area was messy, and the way the food was being scooped and served didn't inspire much confidence. Normally, my regular order is filling enough that I can't finish it in one sitting and usually save some for later. This time, we finished everything easily. The portions felt more like a kids' meal than a regular serving, which was very disappointing. Overall, the portion size and food quality did not match what I've come to expect from this location.

    While visiting friends who live in One Paseo, we stopped in Cava to pick up some dinner. I ordered a grains and greens bowl with white rice and the power greens, with crazy feta and tzatziki sauce. For my protein, I love the spicy lamb meatballs, but they had a fresh order of grilled veggies come out, so I added those. Everything tasted delicious, but I finally tried the pita chips and I'm obsessed!

    Really fresh ingredients at this location! I feel like the other locations add too much salt so I was pleasantly surprised that the flavors of the hummus and dressing didn't overpower the bowl. I ordered for pickup and service was on time on a Sunday afternoon. They have nice outdoor seating too.

    I introduced CAVA to my colleagues and they absolutely loved it! We each built our own bowls and ordered a drink. They have a variety of juices, all incredibly yummy! I got a mixed bowl with grains and salad, topped with chicken and pretty much all of the toppings available! It was a pretty bowl, and a very satisfying one too! The restaurant was clean and spacious, with plenty of tables for indoor dining. There were also tables with umbrellas in the courtyard.

    I love the concept of Cava. It's always appealing to be able to choose exactly everything you want. I love all of the veggies and options. I'm a fan of the Greens and Grains bowl. I get so many healthy veggies. It's filling and high nutritional value. The harissa adds a good kick!

    BYO Greens + Grains Bowl
    Alicia A.

    This was my first time trying cava after wanting to for awhile and it DELIVERED! The service was so great, the ladies that helped me were so kind to point out the different options for proteins and sides. The bowl is the perfect size, perfect proportions, and the flavors all just go so well together. I got a BYO greens & grains, with power greens, brown rice, 50/50 steak and chicken, added portion of falafel, corn, pickled onions, tomatoes, olives, and avo, tzatziki/red pepper hummus/crazy feta, and topped with yogurt dill and Greek vinaigrette. I opted for no drink today, but the juices/teas all looked so good too. This location was really clean, but not much parking right near the restaurant. I think there's a parking structure right there though. I took it to go, but the vibe was very chill and welcoming.

    i absolutely LOVE cava, but oh man this location wasn't good service. i don't know this workers name but he had curly hair and wore earbuds while taking our order and was just so rude. he was rushing us and looked super pissed off that it was my friends first time at cava, so she was trying to decide what to get. his attitude overall was super off-putting and just plain rude, even gave super small portions compared to literally every other time i've had cava. other than that the food is always incredible and i do recommend eating at cava if you haven't tried it yet. :)

    This place was busy when we went for lunch on a weekday. There was a line with about 20 people so it took awhile before it was our turn to order. I ordered the lamb meatball bowl and it was delicious. I added the harissa for an added kick. I wish there was more greens in it though. My lunch was almost $30 for the bowl and juice plus tip. It's a little pricey. I also wish they posted an additional menu for those standing in line. The one at the front was too small to see until we got closer.

    Casey C.

    I've been to this CAVA location several times now, as it is a quick and convenient lunch spot. I place my order online for pickup, and I have not yet experienced a delayed or missing order. However, the last time I ordered, all of my dips and spreads were missing... I'm keeping my rating 4 stars since usually this doesn't happen, but I am disappointed with this last time. Overall though, I appreciate that CAVA is a quick and healthy option (albeit just a bit salty), that is also affordable. Another thing, usually during the lunch hour the regular line is long and there isn't much seating available. I suggest ordering online and taking it to-go to eat elsewhere in the One Paseo plaza.

    So good!

The building where this eatery can be found was in the middle of the complex and not visible from the roadside. That made it difficult for anyone not working in one of the adjacent offices to find this place. If you were not from on-site like me, then it's best to pull into the below ground parking structure at the 11220 El Camino Real address and then exit on the surface level to follow the sidewalk signs to reach The Kitchen. The operating hours were limited between 10 am to 3 pm on weekdays. I would have thought they would be open early to serve breakfast hours and maybe that is in the future plans. There were large tables outside for al fresco dining while the inside seating was modern and spacious. It resembled what you would find in the lobby of an upscale, boutique hotel. I read the seating capacity was up to 200 diners. Four menu boards hung above one of the service stations where the cashier was situated. Salads, bowls, and sandwiches were the main categories. A make-your-own bowl or wrap bar was also available for custom made creations. From the Chef's Choice Bowls, my selection was the Soba Salmon Noodles. Three small pieces of soy sesame glazed salmon were accompanied by buckwheat soba, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, edamame, and green onion. If you look at the photo of my order, then you will notice the meager serving as the amount of food did not even fill half of the bowl. That was disappointing for a price of $15. The taste of the mix was fine as the soy flavor was prominent. Between the portion size and the challenging location, I limited my rating of The Kitchen at Torrey View to three stars.

At $14, though, I was a little disappointed. It just tasted like a pretty average strawberry banana smoothie. I couldn't really taste any of the other ingredients listed, which made the price feel a little hard to justify. This is not for the average basic consumer but if you're trying to live your best wannabe-bougie-influencer life, then this is the place. The inside is super cute and very heavily committed to the blue-and-green beachy aesthetic. Location is also a plus as it's in the One Paseo plaza with ample parking and lots of other shops and food options nearby, so it's easy to make a whole outing out of it. Overall, cute spot and fun to try for the experience, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the smoothie again.

    Worth Every Penny! Our Guests Are Still Talking About Criscito Pizza!…read more We hired Criscito Pizza to cater our daughter's baby sprinkle. They were hands down one of the highlights of the entire celebration. Our package included all eight signature pizzas and every single one was outstanding. The Honey Basil Garlic was definitely a crowd favorite, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Guests also raved about the Lasagna Pizza (my own favorite!), Sweet Heat, Calabrian, Mushroom Truffle (this was devoured immediately), Margherita, the little kiddies favorites...Pepperoni and NYC Cheese. There was truly something for everyone and not a single pizza disappointed. The crust deserves its own review! It is organic! Several of our guests commented that it tasted like fresh artisan bread...light, airy and perfectly chewy with just the right amount of char. Friends and family who drove down from Los Angeles said the pizza alone was worth the trip to San Diego (and of course, spending time with us! :). Others called the flavors "extraordinary" because they were unlike typical pizza. You can tell Criscito uses high-quality ingredients and takes pride in EVERY pizza they make. The fresh spinach salad with feta, dried cranberries, walnuts, olive oil and balsamic glaze was also delicious and paired perfectly with the pizzas. But what truly made the experience exceptional were Desiree and Matthew. They worked tirelessly throughout the event, constantly baking fresh pizzas, replenishing the buffet, and serving our guests with genuine smiles. I started calling them the "Pizza Fairies" because they seemed to sprinkle a little magic on every pizza they made. They made everything look effortless while providing first-class service. Another thing I appreciated was how self-sufficient they were. They brought their own electricity, potable water, plates, napkins, and utensils, so I never had to worry about a thing. They handled everything professionally from start to finish. Criscito Pizza isn't the cheapest caterer you'll find, but this is one of those times when you truly get what you pay for. The quality of the ingredients, the artisan craftsmanship, the incredible flavors, and the outstanding service made every dollar worthwhile. If you want your guests talking about the food long after your event is over, book Criscito Pizza. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Desiree and Matthew again. They helped make our daughter's baby sprinkle unforgettable and I can't recommend them highly enough!
