I was in Vista for work last week and I came here for lunch every single day! I never do that.
Admittedly, if I hadn't started a new diet, I probably wouldn't have found this place. It was lunchtime and I was looking nearby for something healthy, or at least a place with good vegetarian items. Everytable was both closest and looked the best of the nearby options, so I checked it out.
When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was that there were free samples. Lots of them! That day there were samples of a drink, a salad, a sandwich, a dessert, and some chips available to try. That was the same for the following two days, and every item was different each day (except one item). I love free samples! And I love when all the food is delicious.
I saw a lot of options I would typically go for that looked pretty tasty, but I would have felt guilty if I grabbed anything other than an item with mostly vegetables. The food is freshly prepared daily according to their signs, and you can choose to eat your food in the restaurant or take it to go. Some of the items are good whether hot or cold. Luckily they have a microwave and are happy to heat up your food for you.
The first day, I got the cauliflower romesco, the second day, I got the ginger orange tofu Buddha bowl, and the third day, I got the Thai red curry with veggies. Texturally, the romesco was my favorite. It had couscous, chickpeas, tofu, and other yummy ingredients. The item that tasted the best to me, however, was the Thai red curry, although it wasn't authentic Thai curry. I didn't try any of these items cold, but they were delicious warmed!
One of the employees was there all three days I was, and she was friendly and recognized me on the second and third days. They have a royalty program of some sort here that I signed up for on the first day. I ate my food in the restaurant all three days and this woman was very pleasant to everyone, offering samples and helpful explanations of the different items and what the business is about.
As far as the ambiance goes, the space is clean and the food fridges are visually appealing, but there's not much else to look at in the room and it's not that big. It's really bare bones and meant to just be a place to sit and have a convenient meal over a lunch hour, then for you to go on your merry way.
If I find myself in Vista for work again while I'm still on my diet, this is most likely the place I'm coming for lunch. Generally, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a convenient and quick meal that is a healthier alternative to classic fried fast food.
