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.
The veggie steak on the sandwich was delicious! I love the Mexican spices marinate. Actually it didn't taste Mexican to me at all, but it was just good. The fake steak had a tofu skin texture to it. It was quite juicy. I liked this sandwich.
But just like my last visit, I noticed their food is really oily. Looked all that oil on my plate! I think people want to go to Veggie Grill for healthy vegetarian meal. Making food that oily is not exactly healthy, right?
I liked how the sandwich tasted, but didn't like the oily heavy feeling afterward. Eating a vegetarian meal should leave you feeling healthy and light. I hope they would stop using so much oil in their food.
