Delicious

Obsessed with their meatball sandwich. This place is honestly really good. I think some of their recipes could be better but overall amazing! #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan options, Delicious

Cons: A little overpriced, Need to hone their skills on some recipes

Backyard BBQ Bowl

It’s located in The Camp that’s a beautiful outdoor mall with a lot of different places and vegan offers. Native Foods surprised me this time. The bowl was excellent, full of flavor, textures and colors. Definitely I will come back!

Pros: Variety of combinations and flavors., Beautiful terrace. Pet friendly , Eco friendly utensils

Omg so good

We ordered a bunch of different kinds of burgers and everything was amazing. They have unique fountain drinks all of which were delicious. The real star of the show here is the oatmeal cream pie. I don't think I've ever tried a better desert in my life.

Pros: Breaded cauliflower is amazing! , The oatmeal cream pie cookies was to die for!

Used to be great!

We enjoyed eating here for years so very much! After the change of ownership the food is less tasty, fewer options, the servers stressed and the good vibes gone. The new owners are not vegan.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Lacking taste

Food is hit or miss

My date said the twister wrap was amazing, she gave me half which I inhaled! The fries and drinks were great. The gastro pub burger was way to nasty cheesy, could not taste anything else, nor scrape it off, could not eat it. The parfait was too runny, had odd flavor, could not eat it either.

Pros: inexpensive, some good items

Cons: some items did not work for us

New owners ruined it

Native Foods was my favorite place to eat and the Costa Mesa location was my favorite location. I ate at all the closed locations in Southern California except perhaps one. I ate near Portland and in the new headquarters of Chicago. I know Native Foods. Been there twice this year and realize it's completely over. It's popping though. Extremely popular shopping center now and extremely popular Native Foods location. Used to be easy to park. Now impossible. The food is uninspiring. I miss founder Tanya's touch so much. Before, everything on the menu called you and it was hard to decide on just one. These days, everything on the menu is not calling you and it's hard to decide on what to eat. There used to be special events that made you feel special. Now you're just a number. At least I still have the original cookbook. RIP.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Food is hit or miss, Parking nightmare

Never been disappointed

This is California vegan food at its best! Not too junky but definitely indulgent. Their burgers are awesome, and their sweet potato fries are amazing.

A great go-to

While the originality of the menu offerings might not knock your socks off, Native Foods always puts out a consistently good product. It’s the perfect go-to for a quick bite and definitely satisfies any meat-eaters that are in your party.

Pros: Good grub, Cool vibe

Awesome food & service!

We loved everything we ordered! I wish I lived here so I could eat here all the time. Please come to Dallas! My only small complaint is the options for kids is pretty limited. They were kind enough to accommodate my picky kiddo and made a grilled cheese sandwich for him. Highly recommend!

Pros: All vegan menu, Decent prices, Neat atmosphere

Cons: Needs more kids options

New favorite place

Delicious !!!! The kids chicken fingers are amazing, the avocado kale beets salad was to die for. The dressing it came with was lemon-y and hit the spot. Super affordable and will definitely go back. 4 stars because I was given a cup that had lipstick on it.

Pros: price, lots of options, parking

Cons: dirty cups, limited seating when its busy
