Love True Food! We visit usually every 3 weeks & different locations. The FV and UTC locations are the best. Espresso martinis and Ancient Grain bowls are our favorites. We also love the street tacos and charred califlowwr for appetizers.

Food and service was terrible. Dry dry dry air fryer chicken sandwich. Bland salad. The OG refresher that was recommended was so bitter and took forever to get. Took forever to get anything!
True Food Kitchen - San Diego FVResponded on December 16, 2024
We're really sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the chicken sandwich, salad, and OG refresher. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll work on improving both our food and service.
