  No me parece que es la gran cosa y es demasiado picante no apto para niños. Una experiencia que no repito

  CAVA is hands-down one of my favorite fast-casual spots right now—think of it as the Mediterranean answer to Chipotle, but often fresher, more flavorful, and honestly just more exciting. You walk in and build your own bowl, pita, or salad, starting with a base like supergreens, saffron basmati rice, brown rice, or even crazy cauliflower. From there it's a flavor explosion: grilled chicken, braised lamb (which is melt-in-your-mouth tender), spicy lamb meatballs, falafel that's perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, harissa honey chicken, and more. The toppings and dips are what really set it apart—creamy hummus, crazy feta (spicy whipped feta that's addictive), tzatziki, red pepper hummus, pickled onions, Persian cucumbers, cabbage slaw, roasted veggies, and a whole lineup of bold sauces like garlic dressing, skhug (herby/spicy green sauce), harissa vinaigrette, and yogurt dill. Everything tastes bright, fresh, and well-seasoned. The ingredients feel high-quality, and the combinations are so good that even a simple veggie-heavy bowl feels satisfying and filling without being heavy. Portions are generous for the price (usually $12–$16 depending on extras), and it's genuinely healthy-ish while still feeling indulgent. Service is quick and friendly at most locations, the restaurants are clean and modern, and the energy is upbeat. I've seen people rave about it being "the best Mediterranean fast food" they've had, and I totally get it—it's become a go-to when I want something delicious that doesn't make me feel sluggish afterward. Sure, like any build-your-own place, portions can vary slightly by location or day, and the price is a little premium compared to some other chains. But overall? Highly recommend. If there's one near you, go try the braised lamb bowl with crazy feta, skhug, and all the veggies—it's elite. 9/10 — easily worth the hype. CAVA keeps getting it right.

  Food is delicious and fairly priced. Decent quantities. Service is really good. Jada and Christian did an excellent job pulling the bowl together and with their customer service. Highly recommend.

  Easily the WORST cava location! I have been to this location numerous times and they always seem to be out of everything….and the food is always sitting on top of the counter instead of in the counter so the food and protein is COLD! It was 8pm when I walked in and they close at 9 they were literally out of everything and the place looked dirty. I love cava in general but will not be back to this location! Go elsewhere.

  I like Cava’s food, but my customer service experience at this location was so off putting and one of the worst i’ve had! When I entered no one greeted me but instead said “what do you want.” when I walked up to order. When I did start my order the worker building my bowl turned around and made a comment to 2 girls who were working the station behind her, they then turned around and looked me up and down with a glare and rolled their eyes. Also, I asked for falafel as my main and she gave me 1 piece, they were clearly annoyed at something and I wasn’t going to try to fight with them so I just left it. They put my order into the pay kiosk while i was mid sentence and walked away, back to talking to the people who rolled their eyes at me previously, and I had to wait to add a drink to my order until she came back to the kiosk minutes later wondering why I hadn’t paid yet. The entire time I was very kind smiling and saying thank you. I’ve worked in the service industry before and I get how it can be sometimes but this was unnecessary! I was polite despite the attitude but am left frustrated. & after reading some other recent reviews it seems that this isn’t the first time this has happened. It was rude, and there was no need.
