The Mexican bowl had some grit in it either due to spinach leaves or cilantro. Otherwise, the salad was very fresh, satisfying and tasty. I managed about half of it as I was at a work lunch but couldn't deal with the sand. So after my lunch guest left, I went back to the counter to explain the situation. They were more than happy to give me a credit to a free bowl of salad.
So I went back the same week and claimed my free bowl. They were so cool to offer me any choice of salad bowl and recommended the most expensive salads, the QAISER SALAD ($18.99), even though I only had the humble Mexican bowl ($12.99). I've had the QAISER SALAD another time after that on my own dime because it's about as hearty as vegetarian salads can get! I love the savory mock Shish Taouk chicken.
For that reason and that the salads are legit tasty, I'm a fan :)
