The Mad Beet

The Mad Beet commits fully to its late 90s and early 2000s hip hop era, and honestly, it pulls it off. Retro vibes, free arcade games, and an atmosphere that feels more like a hangout than a restaurant, in a good way. Extra credit for actually letting you play the games instead of just using them as decor. I was not very hungry, so I went with the Arctik Monkey smoothie with peanut butter and chocolate. Straight up delicious and absolutely something I would order again without hesitation. My wife ordered the Feta y Verdes veggie wrap, and even she was surprised by how good it was, which says a lot because she knows her veggies. Fresh, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. Veggie lovers, consider this your official heads up. The arcade lineup is solid too. Pac Man, Mortal Kombat II, The Simpsons, a classic Star Wars Atari cabinet, plus others. Waiting for food did not feel like waiting. It felt like killing time in the best possible way. One quick warning. The hip hop playlist is not radio edited. Totally fine for adults, but if you are bringing kids, just know you might be explaining some lyrics on the drive home. Overall, fun spot, good food, strong throwback energy. I would definitely come back.

Great smoothies and acai bowls! But unfortunately like most places in recent years, quality has gone down a bit while prices have skyrocketed. They recently trimmed way back on their menu, which is fine. But they also added protein to all their smoothies for some reason, I guess to justify the price increase? My go-to smoothie is now $14.19 out the door. Prob won't be going back any time soon for that reason.

YUM!!! I want their recipe to the outstanding green juice we ordered. The green latifah I think it was. Just a perfect blend! The balance of flavors made me keep coming back for more. The only sad thing is we didn’t have time to return once (or twice) a day as we had intended while vacationing. It was so good it’s inspired me to get back to juicing for myself and my daughter again. Thanks Mad Beet! Love the creativity, concoctions, and retro video games available for no cost.

I had never been to the Mad Beet before but I’ve driven by plenty of times. I’m very biased on where I get my açaí bowls and really didn’t know what to expect. The Mad Beet is solid! Good energy when you walk in, everyone is really nice and the items have fun names. I ordered an açaí bowl and really enjoyed it, the Beyoncai bowl! Easily on of my top 3 favorite açaí bowls in town. They also have a bunch of free video arcade games to play while you wait. I’m excited to come back and try out more menu items!

If you're in San Diego and looking for a healthy drink or snack, this is the spot. They offer a variety of options, including juices, acai bowls, and smoothies. We sampled the Beets by Dre juice, and it was fantastic—perfectly balanced with a delightful sweetness and a refreshing kick of ginger. We're excited to return and explore more of their menu! P.S the names on their menu are super interesting
