After experiencing Nectarine Grove for the first time, I seriously contemplated relocating to Encinitas. The restaurant is located about 25 minutes away, but the healthy, fresh, but flavorful dishes, smoothies, coffees, and desserts are undoubtedly worth the drive. My personal favorite is the Crispy Chicken Salad; the chicken is breaded with plantains and fried in avocado oil, and the assortment of fresh vegetables coupled with the honey mustard dressing is so delicious I have never ordered another dish from Nectarine Grove. If you choose takeout, the famous Moonlight Beach is located down the street, and you are able to enjoy your meal while enjoying the great view!
