“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“We bought 3 small sandwiches and we were full. They fill those sandwiches perfectly, and they are so flavorful.

Not to mention the beach bites are perfect for an appetizer, or a meal which our son did and he loved the sauce. ( We got it hot, but you can order it cold)

Has a bar area with Tv screens perfect for game days!
Super family friendly, if I lived closer this would definitely be a once a week spot or more.

Vegetarian options: There is a few sandwiches that are vegetarian, but you could definitely substitute things in other sandwiches to be vegetarian friendly and Delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options

Parking: It's in a plaza so but there is parking close by.

Kid-friendliness: Kida menu, the area is spacious. There were other families there at the time.“

Everytable Wraps • $

“Wow, what a find! I stopped by this place for the first time today!! Here on a work trip from Portland, OR and I was craving a chicken salad. I must say I was very impressed. I’d never heard of Everytable before. First, the gentleman behind the counter was quick and thorough with explaining how things work and I appreciated that. I initially had no idea it was more of a meal prep establishment. I really like that concept. I had the Hot Honey Chicken Crunch salad and it was the best packaged salad I’ve ever had. I was blown away. Didn’t taste cheap or like some “airport” food as I’ve seen others comment. If you care about your health and are trying to find/eat good quality prepped food then check this place out. The options, the price point, the quality and quantity, etc. Don’t see many better options out there! Will be sure to return before the trip is over!“

A shout out to Heather Freshour, for taking care of our small but amazingly awesome catering order for lunch. From setting up the order to delivery, to presentation, everything was spectacular!

“I went to Palenque by Mezcal twice last week — once on Thursday with my fiancé, then again on Saturday with friends. Safe to say: we were hooked.

Thursday night: My fiancé had the Torta Cubana (he LOVED it) and a beer. I went with the shrimp tacos and a Paloma cocktail. The tacos were tasty but spicier than expected — I had asked for no spice, so that was a small miss. However, the real surprise was dessert: the tres leches with lemon and blueberries — absolutely delicious! Not too sweet, refreshing, and such a nice twist on the classic.

Saturday: We came back with a group and ordered a variety to try — carne asada tacos, birria tacos, and grilled octopus. Everything was solid, but the octopus? Next level. Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. It stole the show.

Prices are on the higher end, especially for Riverside, but honestly… YOLO. The vibes are great, the food is elevated, and it feels like a special night out without leaving town.“
