Salud Vegetables & Protein

This place is perfect for someone that’s trying to lose weight or have healthy food. One portion of their food can easily amount to three individual servings.
Staff are super friendly and accommodating. They aren’t like Chipotle, if you want more of something, they will happily give it to you!
Vegetables are perfectly cooked and perfectly sized. Plus, they have an option of protein — chicken or salmon — and their salmon is on point!
They’re open M-​F 10am — 3pm.
Swing by and try them out. If you like healthy food, I’m sure you’ll love this place!
They give you an option of quinoa, pasta, or rice.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, their prices are so reasonable. I got a full quinoa bowl with all the vegetables and no protein for $ 7.30!

UPDATE
I posted this review to the wrong restaurant. The restaurant is in the same location as Salud, but with a new name and new owners — Ooops! The new restaurant is called Veggilish! That’s the place you gotta go.

This place is now called Veggilish Fresh & Healthy, because their is another place with a similar name in Logan Heights. You can buy a huge chicken and vegetable bowl for $ 7.97 ($ 8.61 including tax). It includes quinoa and your choice of a big variety of steamed veggies. Fresh and tasty. The good quality and portion makes it one of the best restaurant deals downtown for lunch.

Tasty food and very healthy. Awesome spot if you are looking for a healthy and affordable spot to have lunch in downtowns business district. The salad dressing is bomb too.

Just found this place today while looking for lunch in downtown SD. If you blink, you’ll miss it. Quaint spot, but a goldmine. I like to eat clean, and I lean toward a vegan diet. But you’ll love it if you’re a carnivore. They offer chicken and fish for their entrees. Oh, and they have affordable prices.
I ordered the veggie bowl with all the veggies, a scoop of quinoa, a sprinkle of nuts, and balsamic dressing. The veggies are not overcooked and the dressing is perfect. Wish I could give them six stars!

The house dressing is the best. The veggies are on point each time. It’s simplicity at its best. You want a fresh veggie lunch? Come here.

This is my new favorite lunch spot. Stellar friendly (& fast) service, fresh selection of delicious food, and large portions. This is the best deal in town, so check it out!

Great! Incredibly fresh. Large salad with choice of chicken, salmon or tofu. Nice outdoor seating area. Great value. Came because of Unilocal reviews. Glad I did.

I absolutely love this place. Management and staff are awesome and really know how to deliver excellent customer service every single time. I suggest this place to all of my friends and would recommend it to anyone. Such a great concept. Try the Hibiscus tea — it’s amazing! And I absolutely love the Salmon Bowl. Thanks for always taking care of me guys!

Walk in to this new place and I felt in love from the beginning. Very attentive service from all staff. I really encourage people to come over and try it.
I guess it’s called «Salud» because they only serve vegetables and smoothies to make a healthy and balance lunch meal.
This is now for sure my new place to go every time I want a healthy meal.

I love that there is another healthy option for lunch besides just salad. Salud was really tasty and healthy! I will definitely be back.

Just finished eating something new. Vegetables and protein in a bowl… who ever would have that they could have made such a great marriage without the salad. Salud is a new take on healthy clean eating. Loved the food and the staff was very inviting and friendly. If you want an excellent experience in fast food dining without the guilt… I highly recommend you try Salud!

Salud Vegetable & Protein opened their doors for business this week. The concept is somewhat similar to Chipotle — you order a bowl and they load it up with a bunch of different steamed vegetables, add a protein and a dressing.
The proteins choices are salmon, chicken, a boiled egg and tofu. The veggies are carrot, broccoli, red potato, cauliflower, beets (gross!), corn and zucchini. They also add in some fusili pasta. I had a ranch dressing on mine.
So the low down: The food is sort of beige and doesn’t have a lot of flavor. But it’s super, super healthy. Like you’re-trying-to-make-up-for-all-that-stuff-you-ate-and-drank-over-the-holidays kind of healthy. And the portion is a very good size. And the price is fair. I think my chicken bowl was like $ 8.50 and it was very filling. I’d like it more if they added a salsa or maybe something citrusy for a dressing to brighten it up.
The staff were very friendly and the owners have been making a real effort to offer samples on the street and pass out flyers. I expect that passion will translate into Salud making the changes to go from good to great.
