Picasso Naturals - San Diego

My friends and I came here once searching for a vegan-friendly restaurant. I ordered the vegan burger(7.50) and mango smoothie, one of my friends ordered the falafal(7.50) pita, and my other friend ordered the meatball sandwich(7.35). I really liked the burger, although it was expensive for a store-bought patty. The veggies were fresh, but the service was a bit slow. The mango smoothie was good as well. I tasted the falafal, and it was hot and tasty, but it was not served on a pita, it was served on a tortilla. False advertising. The portions are moderately generous, but the prices are really high. Picasso's also sells groceries, which are also exorbantly priced. However, some items sold here are hard to find, and it's in a convenient location. All in all, if you're looking for tasty vegan food, come here. But expect to pay a lot for it. Updated from previous review on Saturday March 10, 2012

The veggie sun sandwich is so good! I love the sun dried tomatoes

The owners are so kind. I have visited in the past, but recently I have gone almost every morning. I get the hummus sandwich on a multigrain bagel and it is absolutely delicious. I also get the almond date smoothie sometimes which is really good as well. Since going there regularly, I have also been able to try various supplements and vitamins and other vegan products that they have in their store. Give it a try. I is a hidden gem in SD for natural healthy eats!

This place is not fully vegan. They have a few vegan options.

This place is just fantastic! Might be one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had. I got the jalapeño veggie burger) which also made me feel awesome. In addition, customer service is top notch and they have a variety of supplements and a fresh food bar.
