Delicious - Edit
My fussy non veg family loved everything! Friendly and competent service. I seriously want to try the entire menu. Wet tostadas were a big hit. I loved the chimichanga. All 3 rolls we tried were great.

Beautiful whole foods! - Edit
I love that The Village has a huge outdoor patio, it’s super cute and has a cozy vibe with all the little plant walls. Service was great, everyone was so welcoming, sweet and super kind.
Read moreWe ordered: the Chimichanga, the Village roll, Ceviche life roll.
My husband had the chimichanga and said it was yummy. Loved that it was filled with huge sauced chunks of jackfruit.
The ceviche life roll is 100% raw. And it’s super refreshing. The tiny slice of lime was a surprise and I really loved that, gave it a big burst of flavor.

Home away from Home - Edit
Vegan Sushi and Vegan Mexican food all in one place?!? It’s a dream come true and the food is always so fresh and delicious. The Village has become my home away from home in 2020. I always feel like I’m going to see my family to nourish my soul and my body with the best organic made from scratch food. Love the potato tacos! Love the Sunset Roll and Bell Roll! Everything is delicious!

You won’t be disappointed. - Edit
Tempura Crab Roll has an outer crunch, and mock crab meat inside that is better than actual crab. Loko Roll is a hit too. I tried the Fire Me Up Burrito, which had a nice spicy kick to it. The Chimichanga will win anyone over. Be sure to start with the delicious house quac. Not sure if it's on the menu or if I was just a special the day I went, but they have a hard kombucha that all humans deserve to experience before leaving earth.
Read morePros: Mexican and Japanese fusion.

Excellent food! - Edit
Tried 4 things on the menu and all were delicious if not perfect.
Read moreEnchiladas verdes,
Tuna Roll,
Calamari,
Some Banana flavored desert.
Complimentary chips with amazing fresh salsa.
It makes me hopeful about veganism.
The waiters were also very sweet - maybe even too much for some people, but I enjoyed the whole experience very much. It ended up a fantastic date.
Pros: Lots of items., Spacious. , Great food quality for the price.
Cons: Some tables are too low for eating.

Evolved Mexican Cuisine - Edit
Really sweet spot, with amazing atmosphere, and great lighting! We ordered the fajitas and the veggie burrito, both of which were phenomenal. We also ordered the blueberry cheesecake which is light and airy but so flavorful and rich. Delightful place, we will be back!

Delicious vegan sushi and “Calamari”! - Edit
The Village Roll, and the calamari, which is made with coconut meat, are both out of this world! I want to come back and try all the rolls, and definitely try the calamari if you like the real thing!

Winner!! - Edit
The long renovation has produced a clean, bright, open, modern look. The service was excellent and the prices were more than reasonable, especially since every item that could be was organic as well as attractively plated. My veggie burrito was delicious and more than filling (I could have taken half home for later but didn't), and the cheesecake dessert was refreshingly sublime.

Excellent execution! - Edit
I'm so glad this is the spot that took over Anthem. It's definitely an upgrade, even better I live across the street!
Read moreI unfortunately forgot my phone but the presentation of the food is amazing.
I had the chimichanga and at 15 bucks might seem expensive but sooo worth it. Best chimichanga I've ever had in many ways. It was unassumingly filling and the flavors were so well balanced. The fact that this wasn't overly fried, oily, and chewy was a huge win and I think goes against what you expect from a chimichanga. It was light and crispy and just exceeded my expectations.
My wife had the sushi and I forgot the names but one roll had what was akin to orange chicken on top and was superb. Again this probably goes against sushi protocol to put orange chicken flavor in a sushi roll but who cares. All I can say for sure is the sushi experience was better than any other in San Diego, including the new Yasai, which is overhyped IMO.
Go and support this new spot!
Pros: Expansive Mexican and sushi/ramen menu
Cons: I live too close haha

Mexican Asian Fusion! - Edit
Great new all vegan restaurant that just opened! Creative sushi rolls with fresh ingredients only. I loved the village roll the best. The miso soup is unique and definitely a must try. The enchiladas verdes were also great. I’m looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu
