Being a first year student I had high expectations for this place. Being a vegan I have tried a multitude of restaurants and products and unfortunately I’m not impressed. I don’t recommend getting anything on the menu with fries unless you like sweet potatoes. I do recommend the chicken sandwich if you are desperate however plant power isn’t too far of a walk from roots!
The items are hit-or-miss but the good dishes are fantastic. I personally recommend the ‘fish’ tacos, breakfast plate as well as their desserts.
I like to go with friends to this place with my highest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The meals are yummy and the stuff is efficient and cooperative. always when we eat in this place we have a pleasing evening. highly recommended.
Very spacious area which is a great atmosphere to study in. The food is always amazing and I love that they have a composting bin and reusable plates! I recommend trying the black beans and rice because it is an inexpensive and filling side dish that is very flavorful and a tad spicy.
Very good - changed my opinion about vegan places. The food here is excellent. I am a total carnivore but I love Roots because they serve tasty food that for the most part doesn't taste vegan. My favorite item is the "fish" tacos because I can't even tell they aren't fish and they taste really good. All of the food is fresh (you can see them making it in the morning) and the staff is super nice. Overall it is a great distraction from the bore that Pines can be sometimes. There is lots of available seating and it's a good place to study while you eat.
Best vegan food anywhere! Too bad it's on UCSD campus but at least Muir is somewhat normal.
All vegan menu!
