good to go: simple. healthy. vegan.
11November 16th, 2009good to go, LA restaurantshey los angeles vegans, it’s time for another field report and this one is coming atcha from huntington beach. our field operative sent us some great info and pictures from an almost entirely vegan restaurant called good to go. the place focuses on simple, healthy, vegetable-filled living cuisine that won’t weigh you down and make you feel like shit.
he started with the red pepper hummus, served with lavash triangles for dipping. this thing got a rave review, and turns out it was made with italian squash rather than garbanzo beans.
next up was the vegan sushi, nori rolls filled up with “tuna” pate and various fruits and vegetables, served with a side of asian cucumber slaw. refreshing, healthy, and colorful, this stuff is a welcome change from the decadent mock meats and cheese-filled entrees that so many los angeles vegan restaurants offer.
for his entree, our operative ordered the (sir) “wraps a lot,” which gives you a choice of several different vegetables, wraps, spreads and garnishes.
he went with cucumber, avocado, red onion, and salsa wrapped in collard greens and garnished with spicy pumpkin seeds. sounds like a pretty good choice to me, although all the options look delicious.
i’ve taken a look at good to go’s menu, and i can’t wait to get down to huntington beach and check this place out. they’ve got stuff like nachos with cashew cheese, brazil nut burgers, and fake tuna pate. i don’t think i would be able choose between it all.
our quarrygirl operative couldn’t speak highly enough of good to go. he has raved about it on a couple occasions, and made a really good point that we don’t report enough on the sort raw, healthy food that this place has to offer. not everything we eat has to resemble the dead animals we used to devour…right?!
go check out good to go ASAP. and follow them on twitter!

There’s still hope for the OC I will have to try this place next time I’m out there.
Natasha the whole foods on lincoln and rose is actually in Venice, and there was a post about it a while ago but that was before they got diaya! Also if anyone wants to get their hands on Diaya from this whole foods one of the Pizza guys will hook you up with some although the don’t really sell it yet 😉 -
Hooray for inventive rolls filled with more than rice and cucumbers.

Ah! I’m so excited! I live in Huntington Beach and I am so happy because I’m always looking for awesome raw foods places, or vegan. Lately, it’s just been Secret Spot for me, but I will definitely check this place out as it just a 5 minute drive! Thank you!

I often drive down to Artesia (Los Angeles Little India) and it looks like this place is about 15 miles from there. Next time I make an Artesia trip, I’ll try and stop by this place.
