Reviews for CAVA in La Jolla, CA
My wife and I both got lamb dishes. Me, the spicy(?) Lamb pita and she got a lamb bowl. Flavors were ok, but my sandwich... wasn't spicy at all and we both thought the lamb was terribly underseasoned and rather "fluffy". I'm a Chef and I was expectingbolder, Mediterranean flavors and a more substantial chew to the lamb meatball. Overall, not a bad place and prices were veryreasonable. Read more

The food is good and it takes less than 5 minutes to order your food and have it. Their Mexican Coke is great! I like any plates... with chicken and I think their marinated chicken is way better than their beef. Their Falafel is also good! It is a fast foodbut way healthier option and many others! Read more
This place is amazing, excellent food and service. This being my first time I wasn?t sure wha to order. CJ and his team made... sure to make me feel comfortable and not rushed despite the fact that the line behind was about six people deep. Also, I wantedthe falafel and since the place was closing (and they are still packed) CJ made sure to make me a fresh batch of falafel for mysandwich. I?m definitely coming back here again. Read more
A Mediterranean version of Chipotle. A bit healthier. Tasty. Just need to wait in line to place your order. They get busy at... this location. Best to go online and place your order before heading over to pick up. It'll save you time. Read more
Wow, we love this eatery! Came by for dinner after a movie and wanted to eat something healthy after having popcorn. This was... perfect! Besides all the healthy options to eat and drink, Cava is super clean and organized. We appreciate the earth-friendlystraws, bowls and forks n spoons, etc. That's a plus. The food was really fresh. Didn't look nasty from sitting out. When Iasked for the roasted eggplant, the container was almost empty. But they easily grabbed another fresh container full of it readyto go. All the produce looked good, colorful,... Even the proteins. Although I would say the lamb meatball was just a bit dry,though it tasted good. The braised lamb was perfect. Yes, I think I overloaded my bowl as it was all new to me and everythinglooked good! You'll just have to see the pics. (You also have to bear in mind some of the ingredients cost extra so it can addup. The server was good to mention whenever I chose something that cost extra.) Some of my favorites were the lemon herb tahinidressing, the roasted corn, the kalamata olives, the avocados, roasted eggplant... and heck, just everything mixed together wasso yum! We both got fountain drinks. The cucumber mint juice was refreshing and paired well with my salad. I was going to alsotry the other juices but I was too full. Will have to come back. I just wish there was a Cava in the East County. I would eathere often! Read more
Love Cava but the brown rice I got from this location was so burnt it was barely edible and hurt my teeth to chew. I noticed... there were browner bits in the brown rice before ordering but ordered anyways because I thought maybe they added something newto it. Tried to show via this photo but yea, super disappointing! Read more
Ordered online to pick up same day, however the app showed pick up for 11am next day. Went there in a hurry less than 5min prior... to closing, hoping the issue could be solved. It was an easy fix & was provided excellent service by night staff Jordan & Erwineven though it was very near closing time, did not feel rushed to re-order. Double check your pick up times if you order online.Would return to this location & appreciate they are open til 10pm Read more
