I've tried plenty of things but my ultimate favorite is the grass fed burger or Philly chicken melt. And always works. Side of sweet potato fries.

Green Tomato Grill -- Hits the Spot Every Time…read more Sometimes you just want food that actually makes you feel good after you eat it... Green Tomato Grill is that place. Fresh, clean, and reasonably priced; it's the kind of spot that earns a regular spot in your rotation without putting a dent in your wallet. If you're only going to take one piece of advice, let it be this: order the vegan breakfast burrito. It is filling in the best possible way, the kind of meal that carries you through the whole day and has you already thinking about the next visit before you've even finished it. It just hits the spot. The crispy cauliflower is worth every bite too... perfectly done and the kind of dish that makes you forget you're eating something good for you. And the house salad? Refreshing, simple, and a solid reminder that when ingredients are quality, you don't need to overthink it. For anyone navigating dietary needs, Green Tomato Grill quietly delivers. Excellent gluten free options, solid vegan choices, and a menu that doesn't make you feel like an afterthought for having them. Whether you're plant based, gluten free, or just looking for something lighter that doesn't sacrifice flavor, this place has you covered. Service isn't going to blow you away, nothing overly warm or memorable, but they take care of you quickly and efficiently and honestly sometimes that's exactly what you need. No fuss, no long waits, just get in, eat well, and get on with your day. And here's the thing that keeps me coming back... consistency. You always know what you're going to get here. No off days, no guessing, no crossing your fingers hoping it's as good as last time. It just is. Every time. That kind of reliability is honestly underrated and harder to find than it should be. Overall it's just good, honest food that refreshes rather than weighs you down. Highly recommend making this one a regular stop.

It's a small, quaint, unassuming place, but their kitchen cranks out rich flavors. We all got different things so we could try out what they have to offer. I was the only one brave enough to try the (bulgogi) mazemen, and it did not disappoint. I followed the instructions on the table & I liked it w/ the vinegar! Another person at our table got the donkatsu w/ rice; it was gobbled up pretty quick so I imagine it was delicious. The other 2 were in the mood for tonkatsu ramen - 1 got spicy, the other, plain. It looked like there was a lot of green onions for my taste, but they didn't complain. Another hit was the karagge chicken and gyoza - both came w/ tasty sauces! It's a great restaurant in an area filled with other great spots, so we'll be back!

I enjoyed the donkatsu rice bowl, which was flavorful and perfect portion size for 1 person. For some bites before our dinner, we ordered gyoza (a classic side) and their viral veggie croquette that we paired with the donkatsu sauce. Service was excellent and we especially loved how clean and well kept the restaurant was. We look forward to coming back for seconds!

Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

Ambiance is casual and clean. Would definitely come again. plentiful parking in an unassuming small plaza. don't forget to ask for the little scoop of rice at the end to soak up all the sauce!

The atmosphere is unassuming, modest, and quaint. There has always been plenty of seating whenever I've visited, but I have seen the tables fill very quickly, especially around dinner time. The one and only downside is the portions for the price, but I don't blame the business for that. This economy is not friendly for restaurants, let alone a vegan restaurant. I have eaten from this place a handful of times. I am not even vegetarian, but I will continue to support this business because I support Asian owned businesses. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for authentic vegan Chinese food, even if you are not vegan.

Their food is always fresh, meticulously prepared, and healthy - and the team is the warmest and friendliest staff that you actually look forward to seeing. After working all morning, my brain somehow can't handle the simple decision of where to eat for lunch - but the anticipation of interacting with Andre, his team (L'ree ), and nourishing my body with a fresh meal makes it simple. It's always clean, and the staff is so helpful and attentive! My favorite items: I'll really eat anything from here! But Chen's Crispy Rice Salad and the seasonal items take the cake. I love the BBQ Brioche Sandwich, and I'm already counting the days until the Heirloom Tomato BLT makes her hot girl summer debut this year. Chef's kisses all around! Thank you MF being such a great spot for the locals! I know we're annoying sometimes, but gosh, y'all are the best!

The Fullerton Rutas has been a staple for my sister and I for close to six years, we come in at…read moreleast twice a month and absolutely love it. The vibes are artsy, chill, and very laid back, and while we have our regular spots there are no bad seats. Staff are always friendly here, and even though it's seat yourself and menus are on the table for you to take your time with, they're always checking in and willing to answer questions. Elizabeth has been our server on multiple occasions and is always attentive and quick to help or communicate, and always says hi even if she isn't the one working with us directly. Dinner rush is usually a bit earlier in the evening as they do see a lot of older clientele, but it typically varies based on weekday vs weekend and if there's a local event happening in downtown Fullerton. The patio is large with plentiful seating, a warm fireplace, dogs are allowed, and if there's live music happening at the museum down the street you can usually hear it. Our favorites are the nachos, killer chili, Leeky soup, and any of their salads. Price is a good value, especially considering the portion size, we can usually get at least two meals out of an entree. We love trying the new dollar dip flavor every month. Cookies are made in-house and very good, an easy and affordable treat to grab on the way out. We've brought vegan and vegetarian friends here and they can always find something to eat. Highly recommend as a place to come to when you want to sit and hang out for a bit to relax and have a good meal, whether alone or with a group.

If you step through the doorway and your first thought is, gosh, there must be a college campus…read morearound here, you'd be right. Rutabegorz (pronounced like the vegetable: "ROO-tah-BAY-gorz") is a short protest march away from Cal-State Fullerton as well as Fullerton Community College here in Southern California, and is across the street from an Anglican church that looks like an old Sixties, social justice kind of house of worship. The place is actually kind of hard to find, since from the outside it looks like any other ivy-covered brick building that houses the bookstores and headshops that cling, lamprey-like, to institutions of higher learning. Inside, the décor is a funky hodge-podge, not in the calculated way that a place like TGI-Friday's is crafted, but the way you'd imagine post-hippie entrepreneurs would decorate their restaurant labor-of-love. That introduction should prepare you for the food, which is as anti-corporate as you'd imagine from the place's looks. The vegetarian dishes are numerous and hearty the way you'd expect vegetarian dishes wouldn't be, somehow filling and richly satisfying. The ratatouille is savory, the vegetarian burrito bean-y and substantial, the falafel wrap is a little dry but will sit in the pit of your stomach in a satisfying way. The hummus is a lumpy, almost cottage cheese-like interpretation of the dish which could use a little more flavor but isn't bad. The food tastes homemade, the vegetables as though they were actually, at one point in their existences, raw. The meals are as nourishing physically as a Marilynne Robinson novel is spiritually. For those who are worried, the restaurant isn't exclusively vegetarian, and although I haven't had a bunch of the meat dishes, what I have had has continued on the theme of minimally processed foods. The-Walnut-That-Kissed-The-Chicken is a nice take on the chicken salad sandwich, spread thick between two slabs of squaw bread that make it as much a mouthful to eat as it is to say, and the chicken tastes like it was actually boiled and then chopped by hand. We still live in a society driven by consumption, not even the peacenik greenie-types are unaffected, and you can tell by the size of the portions - you invariably have to take some home. Salads come in gigantic blue plastic basins that look as though the cook in the back thought about looking for a proper serving bowl and then just decided, aw to heck with it, I'll just serve the entire thing in the tub I tossed it in. Be sure to get a dessert anyway - the cheesecake is the sweet, tart, dense kind of thing that makes gaining talk-show kind of weight easy. The place also has a decent list of beers. I haven't tried the wines or the cocktails. I've been coming here on and off for a little over a quarter of a century now, I've seen all sorts of people sitting at the rickety wooden tables, from the Birkenstock crowd to sorority girls to Korean club-kids - wholesome food in giant portions appeals across sociopolitical lines.
