Sister came to visit on Memorial Day. We decided to have a food tour day around my house. We ate so much in one day that by the end of the day, we looked like two preggies. But it sure was fun! haha.... Our first stop was Native Foods.


Very Voluptuous Veggie Pizza ($7.95)
Creamy pesto, grilled veggies and kale, roasted pumpkin seeds with a balsamic drizzle. Back by popular demand!

Very Voluptous Veggie Pizza was topped with delicious sauteed kale. I love the balsamic on the pizza. Their pesto was really delicious. Pizza bread was airy and soft.

Another Groupon daily deal I bought, Dinner for 2 for $20 at 118 Degrees ($58 value). For this deal, we can pick 2 entrees plus 2 glasses of wine or 2 desserts. This was such a good buy. Sister and I love the healthy and delicious food at this raw vegan restaurant!


Trio of Enchiladas ($20.00)
Tres Enchiladas with 3 distinct flavors, served with Tomatillo Salsa, Macadamia Sour Cream, and Chef salad.

For my entree, I picked Trio of Enchiladas. I didn't know raw veggies could taste that good! All three enchiladas had different flavor. Their sauces tasted great! I wanted to pick a favorite one, but I couldn't because I really liked all three.

I got a birthday free meal postcard from The Veggie Grill.


Chicken Tortilla Soup ($2.95)

There was no chicken in their chicken tortilla soup, but it tasted just like chicken tortilla soup. Very magical!

Whenever we crave for vegetable and healthy food, our first choice is always Native Foods.



We came for an early dinner on a Friday, and found out they have happy hour every Friday between 3pm to 6pm. All appetizers are half off. I think beer and wine are also half off. The weather was nice. We found a table on the patio.

Dr. P had to go near Irvine Spectrum to take care of something. I wanted to go to the Apple Store to take a look at MacBook Pro. (Yup, that was the day I got my new laptop! :-D) So he dropped me off at Irvine Spectrum first. Since I had a free birthday meal coupon from The Veggie Grill, I grabbed a free lunch there. My birthday is in February, but they sent me the happy "belated" birthday coupon in April? It even said "happy belated birthday" on the postcard.


Carne Asada ($8 .95) / Sweetheart Fries ($2.25)
Grilled veggie-steak, marinated in Mexican spices, with southwestern spiced vegan mayo, red onion, lettuce, tomato on a wheat roll.

The birthday coupon was for a free entree order. Since I added Sweetheart Fries and a drink to my order, It would be about $5 extra. I took out my money to pay, but the nice cashier girl said "It's ok. You don't need to pay. Happy birthday!" How nice of her! I wanted to try something new, and picked Carne Asada since I've never had it before.

Dr. P's brother and his girlfriend Lucine came to visit.  Lucine is vegetarian.  We thought she would love Native Foods and took her there for dinner.  Yup, she loved it!


Verdi's Roasted Veggie Pizza ($7.95)
Creamy homemade Native Ricotta and pesto, roasted fennel, pear tomatoes, red and yellow peppers, sweet red onions, and garlic cloves drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Lucine ordered Verdi's Roasted Veggie Pizza.  We sat outside on the patio.  It was dark so the picture didn't turn out that well.  My photo doesn't do justice of how delicious this pizza was.  The crust was soft and bread-like, and spread with creamy pesto and vegan cheese.  The roasted veggies were so flavorful.  I had a bite, and decided I want to order this pizza next time I go to Native Foods.
