    First time going here. Price was a little up there for the amount of protein you get. But eating the food felt fresh and tasty. Service was great with the first person asking what we will be having Pita or Bowl, to DJ filling up the drink station. There is a lot of seating but during lunch rush, seating is no where to be found. Felt like it was more expensive than Chipotle, but the food felt to be a cleaner eat. I liked the choices of drinks.

    I finally got around to going to CAVA. I was looking forward to it because when we walked in the place was busy and almost all tables were taken. I ordered the chicken + rice bowl and the spicy Aleppo drink. I was disappointed with both. Mediterranean food is so flavorful, but my bowl was cold and bland. The chicken pieces were tiny, and rice and sauces had no flavor. The Aleppo drink was nothing special. I don't know if it's just me - they had a steady line the whole time we were there, but I don't see the hype around this place.

    My delicious Greek Salad!

    This was my first time here and invited a good friend here for lunch. It was bright and clean inside but rather small. Thankfully there is an outdoor patio with more tables. It was rather crowded but the line moved at a good pace. I ordered the Greek Salad. It was fresh & delicious! The portions were generous so I had to take half of it to go. My friend had been here before and is a fan. She had the rice bowl and couldn't finish hers either. I will definitely return to try their other offerings! Service was quick & friendly!

    Built my own salad with grilled chicken

    I have mixed feelings about this place. I had a Custom salad and it was decent, however, there were a few negatives that were difficult to overlook. First, it was very salty. Second, the overall portion size was not sizable enough to cost $14. And third, the amount of my selected protein was extremely lacking. Several of the protein types (basically all of them aside from chicken) , cost $3-5 dollars extra (in addition to the $14, I got grilled chicken as my protein). This is another eatery with potential that I wish improved on execution.

    I was more impressed with this place than I expected to be and just wish I had tried it sooner. Prices can seem high for fast casual, but their quality and fresh offerings are better than typical fast casual dining and the portions are huge. My husband and I split a bowl with hot harissa pita chips and a drink and we both were full. Sharing the bowl seems best too since the greens may wilt if you try to save for later. This is a new location in the area so all new employees but they were all so nice, patient, helpful, and seemed so knowledgeable already. I can't wait to go back and try different food options.

    This place is really really fresh good and Tasty !!! Nice and clean inside and the customer service was excellent !!!!! Thanks Quin & Monica ! You both made it easy and simple for my wife and I who haven't been here before and really didn't know what we wanted !! That's the kind of service that will make people come back

    I am super excited to have a healthy fast food option walking distance from where we live. The eat in space is on the smaller side with a walk thru ordering line where servers make your build to order bowl, and a fountain drink station. It's very nice. There is also some outdoor seating, which really needs some umbrellas to make it more appealing to eat outside, especially during hot days. I ordered online for take out and it was super easy and seamless. I ordered for a 6pm pick up and I walked out the door with my to go order exactly at 6pm! Our meals were two grilled chicken bowls with all the fixings. While it was an okay meal, it was just that--just okay. The chicken didn't have that nicely flavored grilled taste or seasoning, it just didn't wow me. I think I was comparing the meal to what I get at Red Pine Cafe, which is a few blocks away. If you have ever tried a bowl at Red Pine Cafe you will know what I mean. Anyway, Cava is still a good option for a quick, healthy meal. Just. It as good as Red Pine Cafe

    I have been a long-time fan of CAVA after trying it at La Jolla and Carmel Mountain locations, so I was excited to hear about the newest location opening up in Temecula. I got my usual bowl with 1/2 greens and rice, 3 choice sauces, grilled chicken protein with everything with toppings and my favorite date vinaigrette. Usually, they pack a lot more in a bowl where the lid has trouble closing but here, there was less food in a given bowl. The flavors were the same as always which was reassuring of their quality control. Don't know why the portion size is much smaller in Temecula, but otherwise it was the same great food that keeps me coming back for more.

    Fresh ingredients! I really liked the purple cabbage

    FIRST TIME here & I was wondering why there was so many 1 STAR REVIEWS? The 1 star reviews were given at least 2 weeks ago so PLEASE COME BACK because they have IMPROVED! SONG OF THE DAY to play along with this YELP REVIEW: YMCA by the Village People... Young man, yes I was greeted by a young man so there's no need to feel down. CAVA is new in this town! The 4 people in the front were AWESOME! I couldn't remember all their names but shout out to DONOVAN & HANNAH. I was LOST and confused to how to order and THEY were all FRIENDLY, PATIENT and took there time to help explain because I was READY to just ask for a little bit of everything as if I was at CHIPOTLE! My BOWL was filled up to the MAX! It was good enough for 2 meals!! I was only able to finish half!! FAVORITE ITEM: FALAFEL & PITA BREAD Everything was fresh and delicious!! PARKING: PLENTY SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ROCK ON CAVA!!!

    Skimped bowl

    Place is good, foods great but serving sizes are very inconsistent; especially when ordering online. For close to a $20 bowl I'd expect it to be more than half full. Pictured is my bowl after shaking it up to mix. Pretty disappointing. Don't waste your money, go to chipotle across the way

    The food was delicious. The service is great and the restaurant is clean. It's so nice to have a healthy quick option. Isaiah and Aiden were amazing. We came in late and they took care of us as if they had just opened. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend.

    See all

The staff member taking orders recommended to me the smoked turkey BLTA so I got that while my husband got the Cuban sandwich. I got garlic fries with mine and he got the potato salad.

There was so much meat and flavor in both our sandwiches and we were raving and glad we stopped here and can't wait to come back for more! The garlic fries and potato salad were amazing as well. Ate it all and enjoyed my red sangria too. Was also so wonderful that our dog was allowed to sit inside with us considering the busy and hot day it was.

No real service here since you walk up to the counter, order, get a number, and they bring out your food. We ordered cuban sandwich, carne asada fries, and the Blue burger. Everything here was pretty good. The garlic fries came with fresh garlic. The cuban sandwich had tons of flavors. The fried potato chips seemed like they just opened a bag of chips and tossed it on lol but still good. The burger was juicy and I loved the jam on it. It complimented the bleu cheese very well. I was so surprised the carne asada fries were actually good as well. It did need some more guac though. When I went to ask, they said it's not actual guac and just smashed avocados. They charged me $2.50 for a tiny container when they could've just gave it to me or either give me a bigger serving for $2.50!

The carne asada was juicy and perfectly cooked. We ordered the loaded fries, and wow they were truly loaded with meat! We also tried the taco enchilada plate as a sampler, and the enchilada sauce was to die for. I literally scooped up every last bit with my quesadilla. They offer several house made sauces with different spice levels, and all of them were delicious. Each of us had a different favorite, so definitely sample them all before choosing. The quesadilla was great too, but if you're deciding, I highly recommend the loaded fries and the taco enchilada plate both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Lastly, we got the horchata, and it was excellent perfectly flavored and not watered down at all. We pass through Temecula every time we visit California, and we can't wait to add this gem to our regular stop. There are so many other menu items we're excited to try next time!

I want to be fair and try other things but if their meat isn't even seasoned well the other dishes will probably disappoint as well. Its a cute restaurant and the people seem nice. The restaurant feels really laid back.
