Chile Verde Street Tacos
Good but, I prefer other available tacos on the site.

Tofu Veggie Bowl
I wish the veggies had been roasted, with more cauliflower and less onions. Normally CU salads are hearty meals, but this feels like a cheap side salad bulked up with hunks of onion. :(

Tofu Veggie Bowl
Flavor of dressing is not that tasty. Just sour

Grilled Ribeye Steak
This was good except the meat came medium well and when you reheat it, it’s well done ☹️also it came sliced not whole like in the photo. Hopefully, that was a mistake?

Chile Verde Street Tacos
I grabbed this thinking it was vegetables. This is pork. I didn’t like the flavor either

Roasted Salmon and Sautéed Haricot Verts
Flavor was decent and portion size was generous. I tossed out the potatoes to eliminate unnecessary carbs.
