’ Top 5 Healthy Restaurant Choices in Costa MesaTuesday, January 17th, 2012
Here is a list of what I consider to be the top 5 healthiest restaurant choices in the Newport Beach, Costa Mesa Area. Theses are places I frequent as often as possible because their food is not only delicious but prepared in a way that makes it a healthier option then most other sit down/ takeout restaurants.
1.) Seasons 52 –Every item on the menu is less than 475 calories and the food is fantastic. I don’t know how they make the food so good but it is superb and extremely healthy to eat.
2.) Avanti Café – exceptional organic menu with lots of variety and a great atmosphere. They have a great Arugula & Spinach Pesto Pizza that is one of my favorite dishes.
3.) Native Foods Café – If you are a vegetarian or vegan, this is a great place for you! They have a great menu filled with healthy, flavorful food along with exceptional service. Try the Chicken Run Ranch Burger – really tasty and very healthy!
4.) Chixy Natural – This is a quiet little place that would be hard to find unless you were a Costa Mesa local. But the food is excellent. I stumbled on this place when I was running errands one day and decided to go in there for lunch – I had the best chicken sandwich I have ever had and the way they prepared it was very healthy. I now have another place to go to for lunch in Costa Mesa and would recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy but tasty menu.
5.) Flame Broiler – This has become a daily habit for me. The menu is just grilled chicken or beef with brown or white rice and steamed vegetables. You can’t get any healthier than that and I have lunch there about 3 times a week, knowing that I am not expanding my waistline, despite the fact that the food is so good.

The following list is compiled of a few of my favorite Mexican joints in the Costa Mesa area. Being a trainer in the area, I often frequent these places for lunch and dinner. I recommend them not only for their amazing Mexican food, but also because of the healthy choices that they all offer. Eating out doesn’t have to be detrimental to your nutrition and diet. These places offer a variety of great tasting Mexican food that won’t impact the waistline too much. Remember, moderation is key to keeping off the lbs.
- Chipotle – Great Mexican food that is pretty healthy and not expensive at all. This place is habit forming and I get in a rut going here a lot because the food is so good – excellent burritos and tacos!
- Chronic Tacos – A great little Mexican joint with rustic atmosphere and awesome tacos. If tacos are your weakness, this is the place to go!
- Gabbi’s Mexican Kitchen – another great place with down to earth atmosphere, great authentic Mexican food at a great price. This is a great place to go for lunch or a casual dinner with friends.
- Taco Mesa – another great Mexican place with lots of choices on the menu and really tasty food. This is another place that can be habit forming if you are not careful.
- Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant – Good old fashion authentic Mexican food in a homey, down to earth setting. This is an old standby place to go for great Mexican food with a huge menu. They make fantastic fajitas!
