I'm here for vacation and I'm staying directly in between the Native Foods Costa Mesa location and the Aliso Viejo location. I went to the Costa Mesa location first and fell in love. The food was so good. Definitely the best food I've had from a counter service restaurant. The next day came around and I was dying to go back so I decided to try the Aliso Viejo location instead since I hadn't seen that area yet. The Aliso Viejo location is great. The shopping center it's located in is beautiful. I went here at night and everything was so pretty. It's right next to a huge movie theatre too so it's a great place to do a movie and dinner night. The actual restaurant is definitely smaller than the Costa Mesa location. We came here at 9pm and there was only one open table left so I would imagine that during the day it can be hard to find seating. I believe there was outdoor seating but at 9pm at night in cold December, there was no way I was sitting outside. I was nervous to try the food because sometimes you go to a chain restaurant and the food is amazing, and then you go to a different location of the same chain, and the food just isn't the same. This is not the case here. The food was just as great. I ordered the Baja Tacos and they taste like heaven. I actually don't usually like tempeh but the way they cook it in these tacos is simply fantastic. The sauce that goes in it is great as well. I have yet to try any desserts because I'm always too full from my amazing meals, but they do look really good.
