    Our Green Affair is a counter-service salad shop in Solana Beach where the menu is a pun-off and the bowls are the punchline. You'll find the Hot Chick, the Thai Me Up, and a Caesar called the Seize Her, which is a lot of wordplay to absorb before noon. Order at the counter, add toppings if the mood strikes, and join a lunch crowd in athleisure. Eater has named it among San Diego's best salads.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Hot Chick

      “Fan favorites include the Hot Chick — a bold mix of goat cheese, roasted corn, crispy tortilla chips, avocado, and spicy hot chicken, all tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing.”

      Eater
    • Thai me up

      “The Thai Me Up layers tofu over a bed of fresh greens, paired with crisp chayote, mango, and crunchy Japanese peanuts finished with a zingy spicy cashew dressing.”

      Eater
    • Seize her

      “The café’s spin on the Caesar salad, questionably named the Seize Her, comes with kale, romaine, alfalfa sprouts, and shaved Parmesan.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
