Wow - Edit
I literally had to ask if the food was vegan when my plate came out. I ordered the chickn avocado wrap. So good! My brother came with me who is not vegan, he is now considering making the change because of the philly steak he had! We are visiting from Phoenix, we will come back every time we are in town!

Had lunch here today with my brother.

After getting several excellent suggestions, we followed her advise.
I had the chikin avocado wrap , fries, root beer, and carrot cake.

The food exceeded all our expectations.

Went here because I had heard a lot of good things about their food, was not at all disappointed. The food was good and it didn’t break the bank.

great menu options - Edit
Been wanting to try this place since my last couple trips to San Diego. Finally got my chance. The menu is great, such variety. Love the market, also. Too bad I could only try three things.
Read moreI agree with Vegan25’s review on the Philly cheesesteak. Couldn’t salt and pepper it enough to make it good.
Pros: market, desserts, easy parking

Great for ex-meat lovers - Edit
I’m obsessed with this place. Loved their pop-up and was thrilled when I found out they were opening a restaurant. I’ve gone several times since it’s opened and love it every time, and I typically always try something new. Also their desserts are DELICIOUS!

Amazing, huge portions! - Edit
We got the chicken avocado wrap, which was really good and mosty! We ordered one each, but could only finish half of it. So now we have one with us to share later on 👍😁 You get good value for money! The noise level in the back was really high unfortunately. We got to sit by the window in the opposite end of the restaurant, which was really nice 😊
Read morePros: Huge portions, good value for money, Friendly staff, Tasty

Excellent Vegan fast food - Edit
Everything I’ve tried is cracking. Caution⚠️ The Reaper fries creep up in heat; after about two hours. Eat while fresh.

everything was great! - Edit
I brought my grandparents (scared of vegan food, never had anything vegan before) and my best friend to Anthem for a birthday celebration. We had the insanity spuds as an appetizer to share and everyone loved them! I had the soy-cal burrito (AMAZING), my best friend had the pulled porque sandwich, my grandma had the cucumber salad (because she was scared of “fake meat”), and my grandpa had the north porker. Everyone loved everything! We all tried all the different meals and even my grandparents loved it all! Amazing waitress and service 🤗

Love the Restaurant on El Cajon Blvd. - Edit
Great food and nice atmosphere. I took my 82 non Vegan Mother and her 80 year old non Vegan friend here and they loved it. My Mom had the French dip, Her friend had the peanut butter burger and I had the smokehouse burger. All came with delicious fries.

Pros: Friendly, quick service, Great atmosphere, Great food

Sandwiches, tacos, burritos - oh my! - Edit
Anthem offers flavorful sandwiches, tacos and burritos with amazing mock meats and gluten free options. We love their burritos, the Karne Asada Sandwich and anything with the poyo (mock chicken). The owner is a stand-up guy and they care about their customers. Catch them on the weekends for special breakfast items. Ask for the secret burrito to have your socks knocked off. Pro-tip, all burritos taste really amazing after being in the fridge over night, so go ahead and order yourself an extra for tomorrow's breakfast.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, incredible mock meats, Super friendly staff, Big portions, tacos come with two tortillas

Frequent Customer - Edit
I love stopping by Anthem Vegan whenever I get the chance. I usually get one of two items: the avocado chicken wrap or the soycal burrito. The food is delicious, but sometimes I wish the portions were bigger. The staff is really cool and the service is quick. I love bringing my friends to their locations because they are a great example of delicious cruelty-free food.

Best Vegan Food at any Farmer's Market! - Edit
Hands down my favorite menu item is the Chicken Avocado Wrap. I crave it!
Read moreI also appreciate how well Anthem keeps its fans up to date on social media so we know where they'll be and the best way to find them but it would be nice if I could enjoy their food more often as it's hard for me to make it to their events.
Pros: Excellent food , Good Value , Friendly Staff

Love Anthem! - Edit
I take a walk down to the Hillcrest Farmer's market sometimes on a Sunday, just to get food from Anthem. Everything I've had was very delicious. The steak n bleu, the biscuits and gravy and the spicy chicken wrap are favorites. The staff is very friendly and I like that they make your food to order.
Read morePros: Tasty, They now deliver
Cons: They are not located next door to me!

Great food - Edit
Found this place in a Hillcrest Farmers Market a few months ago. Owner was very nice and food had huge portions. Great for those vegetarians who don't want to eat like birds. Had a burrito with veggie steak, potatoes and a ton of veggies. Couldn't finish it all. Perfect food for Adventist vegetarians. Check it out!!
