Playa Bowls

I don't usually write reviews about the places I eat at. But as a regular burger and burrito eater who was hesitant to try something different, I figured my two cents might help others make an informed decision to try something they usually wouldn't.

The menu is pretty extensive so you will likely find several things you'd enjoy. I definitely recommend the Pura Vida acai bowl. The acai and fruit look to be of high quality. I'm particular about any fruit that I eat and theirs looked to be of high quality. The bowl is quite large and was more than I could eat (a rarity for me) but I finished it anyways cause it was so tasty. My tip would be to mix up the fruit with the acai so that the flavors are more balanced. That way you aren't just eating mostly fruit and then all acai at the end, like the person i was with.

Some people's negative reviews I read complained about it being pricey, but remember this IS fresh fruit and acai. These types of foods are not cheap. You probably don't want to eat "cheaper" fruits and like I said the portions are large. Have you ever bought fresh prepared fruit at a grocery store? Its just as, if not more, expensive and they use all the old, damaged, or past ripe stuff they cant sell whole anymore. Plus you cant really eat a decent meal for less than $10 these days and this is definitely more quality than the typical fast service places.

So for any eater who feels like this is out of their comfort zone of food, I think you will be very happy find a new quick and healthier dining option.
