I went to this place this morning for the first time because I have been searching for a great breakfast burrit in my neck of the woods and I have found it!!! No more driving up to California burritos to get my fix. Lol so glad I found this gem! It's a small but cozy place. They also have other food I must try. The service was good, the cashier was nice and they even have the card to get stamps on if you frequent the place. Will definitely keep coming back!

Service (above par!): 5 Carne asada torta (huge!): 5 Fries (thin & crispy!): 5 Smoothies (so fresh!): 5 So happy Vega has survived through the years. They're such a friendly staff with a large variety of menu options to satisfy all palates, including my two picky offspring. Ask for the stamp card so you can eventually get freebies. Support them, support local so we can keep great small businesses like Vega IN BUSINESS!!

So good! Didn't take a pic because I ate my taco immediately but very good! The strawberry banana smoothie was also great! I will come back to get Carne asada fries.

Place is tucked away in the plaza. Not very aesthetic, but entrees look delicious. Great place to get a grab and go meal, but I ended up dining in. It didn't take long to get what I ordered and the cook is very happy to be there. He makes it know and his happiness is very contagious and I like it. I would definitely revisit this place again.

My go to lunch spot when I'm looking for a fruit salad, bagels, or tortilla soup. They have such a wide and varied menu but don't be scared by it! Salads are amazing, as well as their tortas. My go to's here would be carne asada torta. Always warm with that crunchy bread. Bagels, soft, toasty, and plenty of cream cheese. Tortilla soup to accompany them &/or a fruit salad! I've been going here for years since I was a child and the staff remember my order every time. It's nice knowing they care about their customers. Tables and bathrooms are always clean when I come in. I love coming here for some comfort food.

This spot needs more attention than it's getting because it is insanely good. I found Vega Caffe on Google and almost didn't go because I thought it was a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Don't let the name fool yall, there is something for everyone here! The cubana torta was absolutely life changing. I honestly didn't know what to expect but what I got, incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more

We stopped by this new restaurant after an event at Petco Park, and they had their Grand Opening recently. They offer a variety of menu items: Mexican, including birria tacos and the quesabirria (cheese with beef). My husband had the roast beef sandwich - the owner and chef said - "Adding the cucumber adds an element of crunch to it." He likes it - bread was good and it was satisfying. Had two birria street tacos-they were accompanied by cilantro and onions, so delicious! Loved the texture and flavor. Also had the $10 small fruit salad. Bigger than small-had a cottage cheese and coconut topping over cantaloupe, papaya, strawberries, and banana. They also offered açaí bowls - so think açaí bowl without açaí. It was a good complement to the tacos. My mom-in-law had fish tacos and sister-in-law had the flair as and a cup of tortilla soup. Yum! Overall, pretty pleased. For drinks, besides Coca-Cola products they have smoothies. If you are short/petite, the booths are tallish, we were like little kids with our feet off the floor.
