Mesa Verde - Santa Ana

This place was absolutely delicious! A flavorful and presentable vegetarian restaurant that shows you what vegetarian can be without tofu! The staff was so welcoming and the patio seating was perfect for a late lunch. I'm not a vegetarian and I will definitely go back. At first glance, the menu seems a bit pricy, but the portions are huge! You really get what you pay for here, and I'm going to try to direct as many people toward this hidden gem as I can.

Tasty and colorful cuisine. I loved the lime infused falafel sandwich. My husband had the Raja Tacos. Polenta fries very tasty. A little taste of baklava heaven to finish the meal. We will be back. There is a difference between vegan food and vegan cuisine. This is cuisine at its finest!

The (cashew grilled cheese sandwich (omg! , falafel bowl, baklava with the best vanilla bean ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake were delicious! Was happy to see Modern Times Black House beer on the menu! The outdoor seating was perfect on a beautiful Santa Barbara afternoon for Sunday brunch.

One of the best food and drinks we’ve had since turning vegan over a year ago! Interesting ingredients, creative choices, perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious! Service was extremely attentive and kind, super welcoming and warm, we loved it! We’ll honestly be back tomorrow to enjoy the whole experience once again before leaving Santa Barbara!

Fabulous vegan desserts! The food was tasty, and superb. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. If you are into vegan dining, or wanting to try for the first time, this place is the 'golden ticket '. Truffle fries are a must try. Kenneth, our server was amazing, charming, and sincere. All in all, it was a wonderful, first time experience in vegan dining. It 's expensive, and worth it. Located on Cliff Drive, on the Mesa, in Santa Barbara.
