I had the opportunity of eating at Native Foods last night for free, thanks to my good friend who wanted to take me out for dinner. I've been wanting to try Native Foods for awhile now and when I saw a video that they opened a new location on VegSource, I knew I just had to rush over and see how good there food was.
Native Foods has seven different locations; Aliso Viejo, Costa Mesa, Culver City, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Tustin and Westwood.
I ate at the new Culver City location and found their restaurant to have a really warm and welcoming feel. Their prices are a little high, at about $12 a person but trust me they make up for their prices in the quality of food.
I went with four other carnivores and all of them questioned if it was really mock meat. This is definitely the place to take all your meat loving friends, to prove to them that vegan food is just as good, if not better than what they are used to eating.
Here is what we all ordered....
Chicken Run Ranch Burger with a side of salad
Oklahoma Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of fries
Portobello and Sausage Burger with a side of sweet potato fries
Scorpion Burger
Rockin' Moroccan
Just posting these pictures is making me so hungry! Amazing food..everyone in So Cal should definitely go try this place. They've been around for 15 years, I don't know why it took me so long to finally make it over. Oh and if it's your first time there, make sure you let them know and you'll get a free drink!
LOVE Native Foods!! Another one of my fave places and one of the locations is just minutes from my house.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite there cuz everything is so good, but their chili cheese fries are amazing and when I'm feeling the need for comfort food the Oklahoma burger (mmmm...fried pickles) is always my first choice.
Chef Tanya also does food demos every month (they are free and you get free food!!) at different locations so you should definitely sign up for their mailing list to get first dibs on seats. I've been to a few here in Orange County and they've always been really fun!
Sounds like a great place, wish there was one closer to me. I love the names of the dishes. That scorpion burger especially holds my interest.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to visit LA again!! This place is on my list to check out FOR SURE! And my omni husband will probably like it too, yay!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I want that chicken burger! All of it looks really good though. If I'm ever in SoCal, I'm going to see if my Jacklyn wants to have lunch at Native Foods;-)
ReplyDeleteThat food looks amazing! I'm going there for sure next time I make it back "home" to California :)
ReplyDeleteYour car might be stolen if you don't keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteImagine that your car was taken! When you approach the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN search"
A VIN decoder: What is it?
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent"( manufacturing plant). You can also find out:
1.Type of engine
2.Model of a vehicle
3.The DMV and the limitations it imposes
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
You will be able to locate the car, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be checked in the database online. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person sitting on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What happens if the VIN is harmed on purpose?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or being arrested by the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in prison. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
