Good spot for a quick lunch that's also healthy. The food is not incredible, but it's definitely not bad. For a spot that serves healthy food it's really not bad. The restaurant itself is pretty cool and the food comes out pretty quickly. read more

Their food is AMAZING . Definitely a 10/10!! I tried the Californian Mac with mexican broth ! & a different time i had the Thai Ramen & a side of mac and cheese .. The service was also wonderful. Nice staff, respectful, patient, etc. read more

If I was asked where to get a healthy but still tasty meal, I'd 100% vote this restaurant. They grow their own produce which makes the meal so much better. My favorite meal is the Vietnamese quinoa bowl. Im unsure what they marinate their mushrooms with but they are amazing! The service is decently fast and there's always the option to order online. They don't really have indoor seating (just a waiting area inside) but they do have outdoor seating with cute little fire pits. read more

The Wife and I finally made it to Goatacado. If you're a health nut, hippy, vegan, Gen Y, whatever you're going to love the shit out of this place. GREAT FOOD. Packed with flavors and textures. The Mexican Ramen is pretty rad. This Mexican would personally love just a little hominy in it, but then it might veer too Mexican instead of riding the line of Mexican/Japanese fusion. Everything has avocado in it. You know, the good fat. I really enjoyed the food here and my wife was equally pleased. This place is NOT for fussy eaters or uncultured baby boomers. For those with a palate and a touch of class I think you'll like it. I know I did. Business owner. I'm sorry for our dramatic friend. Enjoy the 5 stars. read more

Amazing ramen and go for extra serving of meat. Mexican ramen is a must try. The service was great

Great concept. You order at the kiosk and they have a bunch of options. We had the Thai ramens with tofu and chicken. Broth was excellent. You can choose the size of protein; if you are hungry, you may want 2x. Highly recommended... read more

Fresh ingredients, large portions and flavorful. Got the Mediterranean bowl with tofu. Had to take some home with me because it was so much food. read more

You'll probably like this place more than me if you are vegan or vegetarian. They do have options to add chicken to their bowls. I stopped in today for a quick lunch since I had business in the area. I had the Japanese bowl w/chicken and xtra avocado. It was all quite good, I'm digging for the chicken when I realized the guy who took my order forgot the chicken. It was easily fixed once I asked him. I guess who mistook me for a vegetarian. Easy to order, and pay and there are several tables inside a some outside as well. Street parking only so use caution. read more

Solid solid healthy southern breakfast bowl. Loved everything -- the eggs, vegetables, avocado, cheesy grits, potatoes. Loved that they didn't skimp on the more expensive ingredients / overloaded on the cheaper carbs. My friend had the breakfast burrito and Peruvian coffee -- she also really liked what she ordered. No indoor seating. Complementary water, disposable utensils. Cute outdoor seating just outside the indoor entrance. Definitely want to come back for breakfast and also later in the day for lunch items. read more

Goatocado - Breakfast Bowl - New American Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Solid 3.5 stars! I got a Japanese tofu quinoa and greens bowl and Billy chili. The bowl had cashews, edamame, red bell peppers, shredded carrots, cucumbers, topped with some dried seaweed and half of avocado. Dressing was average Asian ginger but added sweet flavor to the bowl that lacked flavor. Quinoa was a little overdone and avocado was tiny. Tofu had no flavor and a bit chewy (should be soft in the inside) But overall, the bowl had a good mix of veggies and filled me up. I felt health in my mouth. The Billy chili. It was amazing. Warmed even the bottomest of my stomach and my heart. I didn't know it was sweet potato kale chili until I read the description. For $3, I tasted heaven. Get this for yourself. Service was fast and they use environmental friendly paper boxes. Theres inside and outside seatings. They also sell beer, if you think your food was too healthy. read more

This is just for the side of mac and cheese. It's a mix of melted cheese topped with shredded cheese, so it's got some texture to it. The shells are cooked perfectly. It's also got a slight kick to it - I think it's tiny bits of jalepeño's? I don't normally do spicy, but I liked it here. The people behind the counter were really nice, although all the ordering is done on screens. There's no indoor seating. It's all outside with cute little fireplaces on the tables. read more

I love this place the food is amazing. I've never been disappointed the flavors hit your tongue and literally I'm in heaven.

This is a lovely place to get a drink & a bite with a friend on the weekend or after work! They have a lovely outdoor seating area where your pets can join you! I tried a few different items: pomegranate Gingerade, Billy Mac, & Naan bites.. out of those items my favorite was by far the Billy Mac! It was delicious, and a good value!! It was a wonderful combination of quality cheese & meat, what else could you ask for?! The pomegranate gingerade was alright, but definitely could go without.. especially considering they don't do refills on it even though it's almost as much as the Billy Mac haha. The naan bites were fine, I feel like it's pretty hard to mess them up, but the house made dipping sauce was an awesome touch! read more

One star for making us sit in the only tiny dining space offered right next to a smoker.

The food was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this to everyone. We ordered the Vietnamese quinoa bowl and the Mexican ramen and both were amazing and filling enough for 3 people to share. We also had the pomegranate gingerade, which was also very good but definitely more ginger than pomegranate. The only critique I have is for the kale to be massaged so that it is less chewy for the bowls- other than that it was perfect! read more

One of my go-to takeout spots. Love their Thai ramen, it is always SO delicious. Not only that, but their food tastes so fresh. It's hard to explain but you can tell that they're using high-quality ingredients. read more

Love this place! I usually get the Californian Quinoa with grilled chicken and the mac and cheese. Looking to branch out and try another option, but my old faithful meal is so good! I have tried the Billy Mac before, but I wasn't a fan. You can order online or at one of their kiosks and they'll text you once your order is ready. They have a covered patio for outside seating which is pretty nice on a spring or nice summer day. Try this place out - you won't be disappointed. read more

Our favorite meal in Richmond. So healthy and delicious, and the craft beers were reasonably priced, too. We'll be back.

I love this place! I'm a vegetarian, so I love all the veggie friendly options. The bowls are so good, and the portion size is really generous. It's really filling but also healthy! read more

I frequented Goatocado's stand when it was regularly on campus during lunch time. I decided to pop in to their brick and mortar place to see what it was like and I was not disappointed! Lovely little establishment on Main st which as much outdoor seating as indoor seating. The menu was unsurprisingly a lot more expansive here than at the stand (ramen, pita pockets? Lots of other cool things). I ordered the California toppings on a bed of Mac and cheese. The service was awesome and our food was out in literally 3 minutes tops. It was about $9 but absolutely worth every penny. Lots of food! Everything was fresh and very apparent that they use high quality ingredients in their food. The great quality of the stand remains in their brick and mortar establishment. One of best lunches I've ever eaten! read more

Goatcado is a healthy, locally sourced food establishment that I was quite surprised by. Walking in, there are two kiosks you can order off of, and several produce items you can purchase. The food is a bit expensive ($13-$17 for an entree) but was well worth it. There was minimal contact with the employees here as you order, pay, and then just wait for your number to be called, but the person who gave us our food was very friendly. I got the California mac and cheese. It was Smokey, fruity, creamy and so delicious! Something I wasn't expected was the Mac and cheese to not be warm. It kind of threw me off because I felt like I was eating a pasta salad instead of a hot bowl of Mac and cheese. I'm deducting a star because it was a bit expensive for something I think I could make at home. read more

First and foremost, let me know say, MEXICAN RAMEN, please and thank you. It's everything I ever wanted and basically the elevated version of my pathetic attempt to make hodgepodge ramen at home with my leftover veggies and adding salsa and anything to make it mexican. My main complaint? We don't have one in Los Angeles! Highly recommend :) Bonus, they serve beer! read more

I ordered on the phone and ordered to make a Vietnamese bowl WITHOUT PEANUT PRODUCTS. When I got to the store I asked to confirm that it did not have peanut products in it, and they said that it did not. I took it home and I opened it, and the first thing I saw was peanut sauce drizzled everywhere on it. Maybe they should consider actually checking before confirming that there might be a deadly allergy in their food. read more

My friend and I were having a really hard time choosing a vegan-friendly dinner place in Richmond and finally decided on Goatocado despite it being on my Yelp Bookmarks list for the longest time. It was a delicious decision #alliteration. My boyfriend and I split the Mexican ramen with added jalapenos +0.00 and Thai ramen with added mushrooms +1.00. Ramen is not what you'd expect to be served here, but it is why I can't wait to go back. Honestly the best restaurant vegan ramen I've had because they're not trying to replicate a traditional ramen which is better served with a meat-based broth-they make it unique here, adding non-traditional ingredients and bases that really blend well to create a flavorful and delicious vegetable broth. For example, they took all the flavors of a traditional vegetarian-friendly green curry and turned it into a ramen, so I highly recommend the Thai ramen if you like green curry. You can also order beer on tap here, which makes this place even more unique. I don't usually see beer served at bowl places. read more

I don't like eating out much anymore because of all of the crap that's in food anymore. My friend convinced me to have lunch with her here, I was only going to go for the kombucha.. however, after looking over the menu I was so impressed that there was food I could actually eat here. All veggies, no over salting, dressing on the side (I don't do dressings because the oils make me sick.) it was like having a meal from home. Long story short, great, fresh, real healthy (not just advertised as) real food. I will be back anytime I go down main st. Crew was super friendly. Drinks were great. I even ordered a second plate before leaving ten stars. read more

I went to folk fest in Salisbury yesterday and came across GOATOCADO! The Mediterranean bowl was bright, colorful , and packed with so much flavor . I added the organic chicken. Rather expensive but was so worth it. I could eat this food everyday. Chick peas, red cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, avocado with a dill tahini dressing. So much protein. I got a mint iced tea that was over the top good. I think I'm going back to the folk fest today and get another bowl! read more

I really wanted to love Goatocado, but I just did not feel that the cost was at all commensurate with the value. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh, but the flavors did not work for me. It felt like they just threw a bunch of random things together. My soup, for instance, had ingredients that had been seared before being thrown in. There was no distinctive flavor or theme that I could pick up on. It reminded me of when I was broke in undergrad and would just throw whatever leftovers I had in my fridge into broth and call it a day. For the price, I expected more. read more

Stopped by for Happy hour beer, very relaxing. Could sit out on the patio with my pup which is very nice

I dig this vegetarian, fast-casual eatery. When we visited on a Saturday afternoon, there was a small vendor selling fruit right outside the eatery! The menu offers an eclectic array of flavors - from Japanese to Vietnamese to Mediterranean bowls. Both the hubby and I got the Vietnamese bowls with organic quinoa and baby greens and he got chicken as an add-on. Although the kitchen messed up my order and gave me the Mediterranean instead of the Vietnamese, my wonderful hubby gave me his so I still got my Vietnamese fix. My bowl was fresh and had an abundance of fresh herbs, carrots, daikon radish and onion. The pickling of these veggies definitely tasted Vietnamese, but the flavors could have been developed a few more notches - I definitely would have preferred stronger flavors from the basil aioli, peanut sauce and sesame as I couldn't really taste those flavors. We ordered a side of Mac & Cheese and arepa bites, which were yummy. Definitely dip the arepas in the pineapple-chipotle and peanut sauces, as those were a party full of flavor! read more

I have been blown away. I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this place. It's healthy, the staff is great, and it's damn delicious! I ordered the Mediterranean on quinoa and greens with organic chicken. It was like having a religious experience. I didn't want it to end, but when it did, I was very satisfied and full. The price point is a little high for fast casual, but the ingredients are worth it. My friend had the Californian on naan and honestly I wish I ordered that because it looked INSANE. Absolutely will be back, probably a million more times! read more

I finally went to the brick and mortar Goatocado restaurant across from the Visual Arts Center in The Fan and, wow, it was good! It's a small location with seating for maybe fifteen inside as well as a patio with additional seating and a fire pit outside. It might be a bit of a tight squeeze, but it is wheelchair and stroller accessible. It's street parking only, but we were able to get free spots right in front of the restaurant. As a fast casual restaurant you order at the counter and wait for your name to be called when your food is ready. I really liked the simple decor at the fact that the food prep area and kitchen are completely open, so you can see all the fresh, whole foods that go into your meal. The menu consists of ramen, bowls, wraps, and sandwiches that are around $10 each, give or take a few dollars if you add proteins like chicken or tofu. They also serve fresh juices and have very reasonably priced beers on tap. Service was fast and friendly on a Friday night. I got the Californian bowl on the quinoa and greens base and added tofu. The tofu was the perfect texture, and the sweetness of the apples and corn with the smoked gouda and black beans was the perfect balance of flavors. It was surprisingly filling and I was stuffed when I left. My friends ordered the Thai ramen which they said was spicy, delicious, and better than another ramen specialty restaurant a few blocks away. They also got arepa bites, but said they prefer the naan version. I will definitely be back here again and will be on the lookout for their food truck. read more
