I am not even a Vegan, not…read morethat there is anything wrong with that, but I just like to eat good food, which is certainly something you can find here when you visit. I visited several vendors for eat and to chat and learn about their trade. I certainly learned some and ate some good food like vegan adobada and a terrific vegan croissant. All the vendors were very nice happy to provide Vegan treats. Being held at a parking lot at Grossmont Mall, parking is plentiful and access is easy.

How can you show anything but 100% love for the First Friday Night Market AND Vegan In San Diego?!?…read more Here's the things people complain about: (1) it's tooooo faaaar from where I work, live, play, get my hair cut, shop for groceries, take my dog to the park, or whatever excuse they have. Whelp, I have a solution for that...plan your OWN Vegan Festival and it can be wherever you want it to be! Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines. So, there you have it: problems solved. Either drive to where it is or plan your own and if you don't, get there when it starts. I am gracious and thankful that people are VOLUNTEERING their time to put on this awesome vegan festival and coordinating with the mall and vendors. It's held the first Friday of each month. Follow @veganinsandiego for all the details. See you there!

Finally got to try this at the Vegan Oktoberfest at First Friday Night Market at Grossmont Center, my wife and I wanted to this it out when they had their weekly pop up at Sepentine Cider but that ended before we had a chance to get down there. Food was very tasty, they do a great job of creating a vegan alternative to Chinese food that looks legit and has the very similar flavors and textures, less the meat! We tried the Gua Bao Buns first, PERFECT! Not sure how they do it, but these look like almost like real pork belly, and flavors and textures were great! Definitely took the spotlight because this is a dish you wouldn't normally expect to look and taste this good. We also had the Sweet & Sour Pork, super tasty also, but it's a type of food that is more expected at a stand like this. So glad we finally got to try it, definitely worth it and will keep an eye out for their next pop up.

They have a few locations, and I recently visited the National City storefront... left just as satisfied. The tacos are definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. They press fresh corn tortillas right on the spot, the meat actually tastes like true asada, and the salsa/topping bar lets you customize your already amazing taco. Service is friendly, fast, and consistent. A go‑to spot when you want tacos that feel authentic.

My order consisted of 1 carne asada and 2 pork tacos with everything as well as a Limon drink. These tacos were packed with meat bursting with flavor from the fresh guacamole all the way to the fresh hand pressed tortillas being made right on the spot. My tacos paired well with my Limon drink and it was one of the best tacos I've had. Definitely a must try experience for any taco lovers and the quality and amount are well appointed.

We parked on one of the 2-hr spots on West St. between Broadway and Pacific Ave. The lumpia were fresh, hot and were a total hit at the party. In fact, they were all gone in like 30 minutes! I absolutely recommend All Dat Lumpia if you want yummy lumpia at your party. Also, make sure to order a ton because they will all be gone in a flash!

There were four sandwich offerings on the menu board. Classic Philly: steak, onions, & white American cheese The Works: steak, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms & white American cheese BBQ Chicken: chicken, onions, bell peppers, BBQ sauce & white American cheese Philly Bomb: steak, onions bell peppers, mushrooms, cherry peppers & white American cheese. All served on a quality Amoroso roll. I chose the Classic. It was a very good sandwich. The roll was excellent. The meat was tender, seasoned and grilled nicely. It was a little light on the onions and cheese, that'd be my only small complaint. Would I recommend? Absolutely.

Heck yeah! Why not? Since we didn't want to eat too much and wanted to try other things, we opted to share one Philly Cheesesteak. In it's simplified form, steak and cheese. It was so yummy! My husband even declared it the best he's had in San Diego. The guy asked if we were sharing and even split it on trays for us which was thoughtful and nice. The pickled veggies on the side was a nice touch and different. In fact, after we grabbed all our produce from the farmers market, we almost went back to purchase ANOTHER philly cheesesteak. Haha. But we had some other plans after so we didn't. Will definitely come back!

The cheese definitely gets cold if you don't scarf it down fast enough. Satisfied my guilty cravings though!

I tried the California burrito, it was mostly fries, and they were cold and hard. I guess I can't fault them for being cold as they were brought to us so its not like it was fresh when it arrived, but it was like 70% fries and just a little carne asada, and the meat was charred so hard it was almost like beef jerky. Maybe fresh they are good. My friend had the carnitas, he said the carnitas was good but it was mostly rice. And the rice was not Mexican rice, but more like Indian type of rice, so it was weird too. I did like the salsa, it was real, not out of a jar like some places. I'll say its a more healthy tasting burrito than your standard taco shop. So if you want a healthy alternative then this is your place. I guess they must be open, but only online or one of the replies by the owner say they are working out of the Azetc food hub.

It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

It just tasted like salmon coated in some kind of sesame oil. I still ate it with snacking seaweed but I would not buy again. -Hatch chile Caesar wrap, I liked that the wrap was soft and not soggy. Chicken was grilled and diced, lettuce was crunchy and hatch chile tasted grilled and notably cold, came with Caesar dressing on the side. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients but together it just made a very underwhelming wrap, I didn't really taste any flavor from the wrap even with the help of the dressing. I also would not buy again. Ambiance 5/5 -They had a lot of ready-to-eat food options, both hot and cold. Even though I didn't like what I got this time, I'm open to come back and try other things they have.
