Went there with my wife. I thought the grande bowl wasn't going to be enough but they sure dick pack a lot of food in it. I don't remember what I got, but my wife got everything that I didn't so collectively we can confirm that everything is delicious. This place will definitely be somewhere that we regularly visit.

Plant based Mexican style bowls have beans, rice, plantains, quinoa, mushrooms, pickled mushrooms and lots of different sauces, located in the Grossmont Center of La Mesa.

The food was very good. I got a grande bowl with everything so I could sample it all. I think my favorite grain was the brown rice and quinoa, and my favorite guisado was the mushrooms. If I ordered it again I would still get everything because it was all tasty and it was nice having a variety of flavors. I may get the small next time though because the large is a lot of food. They were very friendly and did a great job explaining their concept and describing their food. I also don't care for it being in the food court but for me the food makes up for it.

Excellent!!! New owners are stoked and the food is bomb. You can really tell when someone puts their heart into their food. I got basically the kitchen sink, I had to try everything and everything was legit. That habanero beet sauce, I could put that on everything. Im never excited to go to the mall, but I'd definitely go back just for this bowl!

I'm stunned. The food at Oleri Cultura is absolutely delicious, crafted to be every bit as savory and filling as typical animal-centric foods only more complex and wholesome. I love how they offer a variety of things so you can build your bowl with as many flavors and textures as you like. The staff is super nice about answering questions and letting you taste things first too! I got the lunch deal - $10 for the smaller bowl size, chips, and agua fresca. My bowl was stunningly delicious and still heaped up with food even though I had to avoid the selections with whole grains. It was awesome scooping it up with the chips. The agua fresca had four different kinds of citrus in it with chia seeds too and it was fabulous! Just $10 for all that is really affordable, especially for such extraordinary quality. They even had vegan treats like donuts and pan dulce (concha) when I was there. I never get to eat things like that due to dairy sensitivities. I wish I didn't live 800+ miles away so I could eat here all the time... Please, PLEASE still be here next time I'm in the San Diego area!

Got a chico bowl with basically everything in it. It was tasty and hearty. Ate half of it as a bowl and ate other half as nachos using the bowl as a topping on my chips. Good both ways. Sooo stuffed. I didnt plan to finish everything, but dood said the beans were from Carlsbad and super healthy. So didnt let anything go to waste. Got the fresca. No idea what it was but it was refreshing. Had the cinnamon donut and the pineapple pastry all really good. Glad to have a vegan option in grossmont!! no food allergy issues, super happy!
I've recently (Jan) started a plant based diet and have been finding it difficult to find good authentic Mexican food to match my diet. I saw this place being advertised on Instagram and made my husband take me for their soft launch. It was amazing. I've gone there one other time after and their habanero beet sauce is my favorite! The sautéed mushrooms are delectable. I'll definitely be back.

Delicious, healthy food. You build your own bowl starting with beans, a choice of grains and other toppings, all very flavorful. I am not usually a fan of food court food but this place is the exception.

Delicious! Set up like chipotle where you go down the line and pick what you want in your bowl. Very generous portions and very filling food. It was delicious and we will definitely go back soon. The sweets we tried were delicious too!

My kid and I are there. Both full and happy with our meal. All the meals and drinks are plant based (vegan). I would definitely eat there again. Your order comes with chips. They are good about informing u as how u benefit from eating their products. Good info, good food.. If u in the area check it out, show support for this new businesswoman. Much love. @XTRNL619
