50 Best Salad Restaurants near Rancho Santa Margarita

“customer service definitely recommend it“

“A wonderful evening at Todos Santos with my wife. We were greeted by Daniel the owner and chef extraordinare who took us to a very nice table in the outside patio. We started off with drinks which were made by one of our favorite bartenders Jaime! The other bartender of choice is Francisco who had the day off. Kenya was our waiter and was superb, very personable and professional. We each ordered the appetizer salad which were so good. We spoke with Daniel about the fresh fish and decided on the Sea Bass for my wife and I ordered the Salmon and lobster plate. These two dishes were amazing upon presentation and even tastier than they looked lol. I must say since we began dining at Todos Santos from when Daniel took over this place has blossomed this restaurant into the best Mexican cuisine in Orange County. With multiple awards to his credit Daniel has new menu items that he creates regularly and now opens after hours on Tuesdays and Fridays with a DJ and dance floor. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant serves breakfast from 10 am to 2 pm and the dishes are delicious. Make a reservation and ask for Daniel. Let him know George sent you. Great place, great food and amazing people! Highly recommended“

“Always our choice for Thai food!“

“We love this Panera Bread location and my husband and I eat here about once a week. It is always clean and you are always greeted upon entering. There are plenty of tables inside and outside, we like having the options. Our food is always so good and we feel that you get very good size portions. One of my favorite things is how easy it is too order through the app and the customizations you can do. We appreciate you all and see you soon! =)“

“My fiancé and I eat here all the time. There is a lot of variety, and the dishes are flavorful! I really love their chicken club sandwich and cheeseburger, but you really can’t go wrong with anything you choose. Staff is super friendly and helpful as well - shoutout to Lali and Nathan for providing amazing service!“

“The best vegan pho I’ve ever had.“

“This place blew me away with their quality of food and the taste was amazing. Highly recommend! The rosemary focaccia bread was fresh, soft and tasty. The dressings said no seed oils. I LOVE this place and can’t wait to try the location in Laguna Niguel.“

“DELICIOUSNESS! healthy, tasty and great prices“

“Healthy food that is actually very tasty! It is clean and the service friendly and professional.“

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing“

“they go out there way to deliver a beautiful curry, Rice nan, onion bahgee everything beautiful as always..10 out of 10 for everything...Col Carno“

“Food here is amazing! Had amazing service. We're from canada and come down to California for two weeks every November. We have now decided that this will be added to our yearly traditions! Wonderful family owned business which is lovely to see. Everyone here cares about your experience and the quality of food. Cannot wait to come back!“

“Absolutely amazing we like the Marguerite, Cheese and the PMS pepperoni mushroom and sausage Gluten-free the fabulous antipasto salad all so worth it. Just eat my leftovers 😍“

“I love coming to this location. My go to meal is the chicken and koobideh plate. Every time I order it it taste so good and fresh. Their service is great, they have a good attitude and the food is always ready pretty fast.“

“One of my all time favorite places. The people and management make It like “friends” but with a really unreal grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Get the soup with the sandwich. Add bacon. That is all.“

“Restaurant is clean and open. Their sashimi bento box lunch special [includes miso soup, cucumber salad, tempura, half CA roll, and seven slices of quality sashimi served with real wasabi!] is the best and it was only $20. Thank you to sushi chef Obi for his recommendation. Now if they only served Kuronama or any other Japanese dark beer, they'd be perfect.“

“It was our first choice for our anniversary dinner! Good decision!!“

“Nice place, clean and open, nice service. The sandwiches were pretty good and fresh but could be better if the bread was not refrigerated (?), felt cold to the touch, and not soft due to the refrigeration (?). But I would definitely come back for another try.“

“Hands down the BEST pizza I’ve ever had! Curry Pizza House in Lake Forest takes pizza to a whole new level. I ordered the Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tandoori pizzas, and both were absolutely incredible. The flavors were rich, bold, and perfectly balanced — every bite was packed with authentic spices, tender chicken, and gooey cheese.

The crust was baked to perfection, crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. You can really taste the quality and freshness in every ingredient. If you’re a fan of Indian flavors or just want to try something unique and delicious, this place is a must-visit.

Highly recommend Curry Pizza House to anyone looking for pizza with a flavorful twist. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“Buen servicio de Alex 👍🏼 y la comida muy rica“

“My husband and I stopped in on a Friday evening. We were the only patrons which made me a little concerned at first but there was consistent takeout pickup the whole time we were there. Our apps were fresh and prepared to order. I had the green curry and my husband had the KUA-KRING SIAM, both had incredible flavors and just straight up delicious!“

“Rei is very nice and polite, and so sweet to recommend the exquisite sandwich chicken pesto caprese and it was so delicious! From a bakers point of view the focaccia was dry so maybe look into that. Great job with your customer service Rei!!“

“unique cocktails, blts, chicken sandwiches“

“I Loved The Chicken Very Tasty & Yummy I Wish They Had More Locations Here In California“

“This place is gold. If you haven’t tried Olive Garden yet, you’re missing out! GO right now. Seriously!

Our waiter Josh was the best I’ve ever met in this industry. Not only was he positive and brought a friendly atmosphere, but he was also prompt and incredibly helpful while being respectful and polite. It made my day and my whole dining experience so pleasant.

I can’t stop smiling because this level of service is RARE! Like I said, gold!!!!

The food? ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I recommend the Lasagna, the Zupatoscana soup, and a sweet iced tea. There are so many tasty options, all for a very fair price.

The food will be better than what you’ll get at a 5-star luxury million dollar restaurant. It’s that good.

This is not a sponsored review. I just wanted to share my intensely brilliant and fantastic experience at this location!“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“Great authentic persian food! We have tried this place numerous time for dine in, take out and catering events. Koobideh and kale pache are my favorites here!
The owners are very nice and staff are attentive.
Their prices are acceptable for the portions and the type of cuisine.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“Food at this location is so dang good! I went in on Saturday the 9th of April around 3pm and I was amazed. I got the half chicken and half falafel pita and it was really good. My wife got a bowl with falafel as well and both of us were amazed at how fresh everything was. The cook made us fresh falafel and was very nice to us. The chicken was so good next time I am getting double chicken and falafel! My wife said the rice was very well made and that she enjoyed her bowl. Cava for the win!“

“Great customer service. Well oiled machine. Friendly staff. Great food. Attentive manager. 1/30/2021, 3pm“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“It was a distinct pleasure to finally experience this highly anticipated Thai establishment. The ambiance immediately transported me to Thailand, a feeling unequivocally reinforced by the exceptional cuisine. Each dish showcased an impressive authenticity of flavor. The Green Curry with chicken was a particular highlight, perfectly satisfying a long-held craving. Additionally, the shrimp fried rice was a masterclass in balance, offering a delightful texture and exquisite taste. Beyond the culinary delights, the staff's remarkable hospitality and the impeccable cleanliness of the premises further enhanced the overall experience. I eagerly anticipate a return visit to savor the green curry again and explore more of their enticing menu.“

“Mendocino Farms is my favorite sandwich shop. One of the coolest things about this place is that they make seasonal entrees and sandwiches (ie. Peach sandwich in the summer time).

It has a very casual setting, but the food is very refined.

I highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“Great food, great service, the whole place is immaculate. Great quality and value, hidden gem tucked away in Courtyard at La Paz .“

“great food and location \n\nBut even more importantly, on Thursday, Sept 25 , I'd like to give a shout out to a staff member (Heidi) who took her time while passing out ice cream samples to two special needs adults and their chaperone to really feel "seen".\n\nHeidi's warmth was on full display as she returned with an extra sample. Well done, Heidi. The entire table(s) area noticed your compassion by taking a little extra time to make them feel welcomed.“

“Great service!!! Keep up the good work“

“Delicious Chicago style and thin crust pizza. Their chicken wings were great too! They even had live entertainment outside. I will definitely come back again.“

“Excelente Servicio 100% Recomendados“

“Is it the best pizza ever? No. Does it taste good? Yes. Imagine this: it’s 2 am, you are out of luck, Taco Bell? No no I’ve had that 2 times this week. Del Taco? Haha nice, no. WELL WHAT ELSE IS THERE? I don’t really know but I love pizza! This is the place to be.“

“Very good food with my baby“

“The food I gave five stars because the food is delicious. I love the food from Chick-fil-A. It’s very good and even has vegan options so that’s very nice. Service is very nice. I gave a service of 5-Star because the servers were very nice and atmosphere atmosphere. I gave you a three stars. It was not the most clean atmosphere but very nice. I liked it overall. It was very good experience four stars. The only thing that was kind of difficult was the drive-through. It was very hard to get into it and get out from all the people crossing the road but other than that very good.

Parking: the drive through was difficult“

“The new Smoky Oaxacan Shrimp 🍤 Bowl 🍲 is one their best creations. How can you beat rice and beans, Shrimp, guacamole, tortilla strips, and chipotle sauce. Probably a lot of sodium so you may want to get it to go and save some for later.“

“Great Burgers! Staff told me it's the best in America (Google it). I got the double with BBQ sauce and Bacon. The onion rings were also some of the best I've ever had.
Ariel gave some of the best customer service I've ever had at a fast food restaurant. Will definitely be back!“

“Nick the owner is a great guy and the staff are super friendly and nice. Food portions were big and fresh. Thanks again for everything coming back everytime we go back to Cali! 👍👍“

“It was my 79th birthday, and we had gone out for breakfast. My husband offered to take me ANYWHERE for dinner. After thinking hard, ALL I wanted was a CPK Italian Chopped Salad because our Laguna Woods store was closed years ago, and I had craved it ever since then (not realizing that Door Dash delivered from nearby).

Everything was Perfection with our salads and a side Marguerita pizza. LAGUNA NIGUEL store obviously focuses on FRESH salads, (and I say this because sometimes our former Laguna Hills Mall store had rusty limp lettuce in their take-out Chopped Salads.)

Wonderfully crunchy with their tasty Mustard Vinaigrette dressing, we both agreed: now that we can use Doordash to deliver, the Laguna Niguel restaurant will be receiving regular and often Doordash orders from us. Healthy AND tasty is a Win-Win, especially for Seniors.

Thank you Laguna Niguel CPK (and Doordash) for my now favorite dinner, back and available to us!“

“I had never been to a Chick-fil-A. No I eat there once a week. The quality of the food & the size as well as the taste won me over. Customer service is comparable to the 1950's my family says. Imagine that was the norm, the line is long in the drive thru, however it takes 5-6 minutes.I highly recommend this establishment.“

“I have the broccoli cheese soup for the first time. It was delicious. 😋“

“very yummy and satisfying food. the staff are very friendly and helpful.“

“This location is usually well run. The younger staff seem a little distracted, I had to wait for my order longer than expected. I actually watched them bag my order because it wasn't busy at the time and when they were done they didn't call my name, it just sat there for a few minutes while they served someone else. But they got to it eventually so all is well that ends well.“
