The Grill At Vine Ripe - La Mesa

Friendly helpful staff, fast service, delicious food!! We’ll definitely be back!!

My friend and I stopped by for a quick bite around 2pm. We were the only two customers at the time. I ordered a bowl of the chicken lemon rice soup and she ordered the lentil soup. It took over 10 minutes just to get our soups! Both soups looked and tasted like hospital soups. They were just warm not hot and very very bland. The chicken soup have maybe 3 small pieces of chicken and tiny carrots. The lentil soup was just a flavorless purée. They were served with dry cold pita bread. Having a fresh bakery, you would think the pita bread would at least be warm and fresh. Very disappointing.

I used to live down the street from here and loved it. Maybe today was just a bad day but my beef shawarma was beyond dry. Luckily my salad, rice, hummus was amazing. We were told it would take 20 minutes for pick up and I'm assuming it was for the rice because the meat was way overcooked. I would order in person to make sure you can taste the food before you leave.

Very good! First time here and I was hesitant to try something I've never tried before. Glad I did! So delicious!

Very good Mediterranean food. The real treat for me is wandering through the Vine Ripe market. Wonderful selection of Med food and products. Wish I lived closer.
