Classic Comfort Food - Edit
A couple of good options for comfort food. The cabbage patty was the highlight, though the pastry was oily. The combo plate, while full of flavor, became one-note as many options were on the same plate. This was as advertised on the menu, but next time I would order a single item rather than a combo plate.

Quick options - Edit
Got the Jamaican veggie patties. Spinach and the jerk tofu, both were good, preferred the tofu a bit more. They were already super hot and prepared so nice quick lunch.

I’ve eaten here 3 times now and each time the food has been fresh and delicious, and the service is always super sweet and attentive.

There’s a huge parking lot across the street, and a few spots in front. There’s also indoor and outdoor seating.

Delicious (and a tiny bit messy!) - Edit
I had the soy chorizo burrito, my sister had the jerk burger. Both were tasty but a bit of a mess- don’t expect to eat while you walk the park.

Disappointing - Edit
I had the Jerk burger, and it was pretty disappointing. It was advertised as having a pretzel bun. Maybe they ran out, because I just had a regular bun you'd find at the grocery store. The patty was likely a reheated frozen veggie patty. The Jerk sauce treated an awfully lot like BBQ sauce. The sweet potato fries were OK, but not particularly good. All in all, it felt like a minimal effort.
Read moreMaybe I should have tried the peanut curry. I'll revisit to try that and update this review. Hopefully there is better food, and the Jerk burger was just not the right thing to order.
If you like kombucha, this is probably a good place for that, as they have several on tap.
Pros: Lots of kombucha on tap, Variety of food options
Cons: Burger did not have advertised bun, Food tasted like heated frozen items, not fresh

BEST VEGAN FOOD IN SD - Edit
This is by far the best food we have had in San Diego. We shared the combination plate and the Jamaican jerk tofu patty, and both blew me away. The favours were amazing- so much nuance and well-rounded flavours, not too spicy but just PERFECT. GO HERE! #Veganuary

Very tasty - all vegan! - Edit
Very delicious! There was a cute little outside eating area. The food was very delicious. I loved the plantains 🤤 it’s only open (I believe) Fri-Sun 12-4, so not a very broad window. The drinks are a bit overpriced tho, but over than that - worth it!
Read morePros: All vegan , Full of protein, Food is well priced imo
Cons: Drinks are like $10 for 12 oz
