We recently discovered a great “fast-food” restaurant in Brea that offers a truly clean, All American food and caters to the entire family. Green 2 Go helps families make healthy and convenient food choices; supporting many dietary needs including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, soy-free, heart-smart delicious food.
We were invited to a sample tasting of some of Green 2 Go’s most popular dishes by Anita Allison, one of the managing partners. She introduced us to the Tuna Poke Martini – which was absolutely my favorite item. Deliciously fresh Ahi Tuna diced into chunks and served with a light poke dressing, home made guacamole and some fresh herbs. It was absolutely fantastic! Seriously, I plan on ordering that or the Tuna Poke Rice bowl on my next visit.
While I was lost in my Tuna Poke Martini, my husband was sampling a flight of beer. Green 2 Go also offers spirits from local breweries and vineyards.
The ambiance of the restaurant/bar was so warm and welcoming that families could wind up staying for hours, eating dinner, finishing up homework and just mingling and relaxing. My children were quite excited to grab a book from the library wall and take in a few chapters while waiting for their entrees.
My daughter decided to select Mac & Cheese. Green 2 Go’s version of mac and cheese is home made, gluten free, with organic cream and a blend of jack and cheddar cheese. It was very tasty and seemed more dense than typical Mac N Cheeses we’ve tasted.
My son on the other hand opted for the kids meal sliders. Grass fed beef formed into small patties served on a Hawaiian roll and made to order. I was very excited he chose sliced apples with his meal. I guess he was getting the hang of healthier food options.
My husband selected the Tri Tip Tacos. Deliciously juicy cuts of grass fed marinated tri tip served with guacamole, cilantro and home made pico de gallo on a gluten free tortilla. This taco was just heavenly and LOADED with huge chunks of meat. It was certainly big portion – one taco would have been more than enough for me.
I sampled the made to order grass fed Bison burger on a squaw bun loaded with grilled onions, mushrooms, lettuce and guacamole. When building your own burger, you’re invited to the counter to select from their fresh ingredients for your perfect burger. I did notice a slight difference between the bison patty versus the beef patty – it was a little more rich/gamier, however, just as tasty.
Healthy choices is the way to go, and Anita and Joulia at Green 2 Go certainly hit it home with their All-American clean eating concept. We’re sold! The family truly enjoyed our experience at Green 2 Go and we’ll certainly be back. Check it out for yourself! And when Anita or Joulia greet you when you walk in, tell them I sent you!
