We ordered the banh mi dac biet (variety of cold cuts) and banh mi thit nuong (grilled pork). Didn't get a photo of everything, but both were so good! The bread is warm and flaky, the meat is flavorful, and the pickled veggies pair perfectly with the jalapeños for that extra kick. We also got the avocado smoothie with boba to share. It's HUGE, freshly made, and delicious! Overall, my perfect grab-and-go lunch spot. Simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot!

Stopped into Avian as we were nearby, wanted some banh mi and saw that Avian was recommended. It's…read morea little shop that has water, banh mi, smoothies, boba, and sugar cane juice. The bread in the banh mi is really good; very fresh and just the right amount of chewiness. The banh mi is smaller than other places, but just as tasty. The pate on the banh mi was perfect and I thought the ratio with the meat and veggies was good. The sugar cane juice was also really good; not too sweet. We ordered when we arrived, but it didn't take too long to order. Though, initially we were given an order that wasn't ours and when my husband grabbed his cafe sua da, it spilled on him. But they were very apologetic and gave him another cup. I'd definitely recommend checking out Avian for their banh mi if you're in the area.

We had ordered some beef and brocolli, pad Thai and tofu veggie fried rice. The veggie fried rice was awesome and they were loaded with tofu compared to the other Asian restaurants we've been to. The brocolli beef was mediocre and the pad Thai was dry! It needed more sauce or might have been better if served right off the stove. Probably would come back for more of their fried rice.

They have a sign saying we have a right to not wear one but they also have a right to not serve you. Okay... so I'm not welcomed unless we follow your regulations. Cool. Second, the drink is over $7.50 but wait, let's not stop there. They also charge an additional $0.75 charge to use your card. Okay, sounds like we might have to pay an additional fee to use the blender. Third, when I told her I would be back with cash. She thru the change on the counter. I gave her cash in hand. It was a unpleasant experience. Smoothie. Not worth the hassle or price. Avoid if you can. Have a great day !

The end pieces for all of the sandwiches didn't have enough meat and was more bread. It used to be better portions, I wouldn't mind the price paid if it reflected in the quality of the sandwiches. They have kiosk ordering which is really convenient, unfortunately they didn't print out any receipt so we didn't get the order number. It had popped up when we paid and we thought we were gonna get a receipt so we didn't think to remember the number. Other customers also fell into this bc when the employees were calling out the numbers we were all looking at each other to see who got what. ---- Overall: good flavor but quality has dropped and prices increased, kiosk ordering needs to be fixed

I can tell by the red onion it had chopped and mixed into the tuna. That doesn't store long so I can tell the tuna has a fast turnover rate. Their sesame noodles are fantastic too! A must try.

I so wanted to try the coffees, licuados, tortas, and pastries. Posted hours for the coffee shop…read morethe day I went was 7am-6pm. It was 1:30pm when I arrived. I parked in the alley in front of the entrance. I noticed they had security patrols by the building. There is a recycling center in the alley across from the bakery, it was busy over there today! Sadly, the coffee/smoothie bar was closed, and I settled for regular brewed coffee, some pan dulce, and a pollo torta - two out of four things I wanted to try. The prices are very reasonable here. I almost ate one whole pan while waiting for my torta. It was sooo good. The girl at the counter was quick and friendly. My food came out within 10 minutes, behind customers that ordered two sandwiches as well. I didn't mind waiting for made to order at all. The torta was gigantic! Lots of pollo, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, frijoles, mayo, avocado, jalapenos. The taste was omg. Coffee was also good, just what I needed today.

3.5 stars Came to…read morethis bakery early morning to try one of their Breakfast Bolillos. They open at 5:30 which is nice to go before work or to grab something for the plane before your morning flight. I got the bacon bolillo; Bacon, mayo, cheese, beans and jalapeños on Bolillo bread. You can also order Reparados which is basically the same but on Telera bread. It was very reasonable at $5 given its large size and considering that McDonalds charges almost that much for a sausage McMuffin with egg these days. The bread was fresh and the egg freshly cooked to order, the jalapeño and mayo added a lot to the sandwich. The bacon however was chopped up and cooked into the egg, so it didn't stand out too much. I wish there were 2 whole slices on top. But for $5 its a great value. Knowing that the meat is chopped up and mixed with the egg, I think id go for another meat instead of bacon next time maybe ham or chorizo. They offer breakfast burritos for $8, breakfast sandwiches Bolillo or Reparados for $5, they also have regular meat (asada, pastor, pollo) tortas, tacos, burritos and quesadillas as well as bakery items as the name of the business states, the flan and cannolis look so good. Its located off of Linda Vista Road, they have their own parking lot which is nice. The entrance is not visible from the street, it faces the opposite direction of traffic, so it can be a little difficult to find. Theres also a coffee shop side to the shop with an espresso machine, which seemed to be closed at the time I visited. They also have fresh smoothies or juices I'll have to come back and try some of their other items.

The hummus and fresh pita were also standouts and the perfect way to start the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and were so happy to find a restaurant that everyone--especially my uncles--could enjoy. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in San Diego.
