Horrible service...amazing raw food. I have only been to the location in Hillcrest. Though the food is spectacular, if indeed it is available, I would give them a negative 10 for service. Each of the 5 times I've eaten there, they have been out of something, and they never let the customers know ahead of time, they wait until your mouth is watered and ready, to come back to tell you there is no lasagna. They tell you the restaurant is closed if you come and sit down before 9pm. We have been left to clear our own tables and though it seems silly to have come back at all, there is no food like it in San Diego. They seem to know this and take advantage of it. I will not go back until there is either new management or a completely new staff.

Vegan cafe in South Bay and Carlsbad adds zest to the raw food movement.. In Short
The stacked cheeseburgers and wholesome enchiladas might fool you, but Cilantro Live only dishes raw food with impressive ingredients. Orange colors and dangling foliage welcome you into Cilantro's expansive diner, giving you a full view of the kitchen. Cilantro Live regulars are often engaged and committed to a vegan lifestyle--expect to hear about the seminars, talks and events the restaurant hosts constantly. Popular menu items include coconut oil chocolate or tomato bisque.
