Great food, atmosphere, and customer service! There's a nice variety of meals that are both healthy and delicious. The staff is very friendly and polite. Special mention to Zac, Luis, and Nathan. Thank you for the excellent attention and customer service. The team is welcoming and bilingual (English and Spanish), which is a big plus. I will definitely be back. And the cookies are absolutely amazing! Thank you!

Best lunch I’ve had in a very long time. Pictured is the Teriyaki grilled chicken plate with marble potatoes and garlic parm mushrooms. Incredible flavor on all 3. Luis was a fantastic server and Ally a great host. Will be returning on my next trip to OC.

It was my first time trying Urban Plates and it did not disappoint! The service was quick, the food was delicious, and we were well taken care of throughout our lunch. Shoutout to Luis for taking care of us, bringing us utensils, and always checking in. 😊

The Mediterranean bowl was delicious, and we loved the brussel sprouts! They had water in a cute jug set out for customers with napkins and cups. Everything was nice and clean! The staff was friendly and answered all of our many, many questions! We had a hard time choosing what to order because there are so many options!

From Alabama visiting our son who lives in San Juan Capistrano. We are here at least 2x a year and have eaten at lot of restaurants. Urban Plates, by far, is our new favorite place to eat. I had the blackened salmon and my husband had steak. Both meals were perfection! Service was excellent, thanks to Ashley and Luis. We’ll definitely be back!

This Urban Plate # restaurant is our go to place, regularly about once a week or twice a month. We love the salads that they have here, especially the wild ahi Niçoise salad, always fresh and always tasty. We especially appreciate the two fellows named Ryan and Zach, always pleasant and friendly…with a smile. The bush persons are also very attentive as well, cleaning up the table quickly after the guest have left. The place has both inside and outside sitting and has a very friendly family atmosphere. We are lucky that this place is only a few miles from where we live, which is a go to place for us when we don’t feel like cooking. By the way, they have this incredible deal which you pay as a membership for $10 a month but you get 20% off from your dining in, or To Go every time you order. Love it, every time 🙂🙂🙂

First time here and love the protein + carb +veggie style for a quick sit down place. So many options and the sides all look so good. Ordered: grilled chicken w/ potatoes and broccoli 🥦 They have 2 hot sauces at the condiment bar that you can add to flavor the chicken since I didn’t pick a sauce so that was nice. They add sourdough bread to the plates, salads, and I believe the sandwiches. cute outdoor patio with a high top table and cushioned seats or regular tables. Perfect lunch and portioned well. Bonus* giant cookies and baked sweets :)

Urban Plates in Aliso Viejo is a total gem! The chicken tenders with Nashville hot sauce were perfectly crispy and packed with bold, delicious flavor. I also tried the pita and hummus, and it was incredibly fresh and satisfying—great texture and seasoning. Their vegetarian options are just as impressive, offering great variety without compromising on taste - Wifey recommended. What really stood out was the quality of ingredients and the balance of spice and flavor. You can tell everything is made fresh, and it really elevates the entire experience. Don’t miss signing up for their Plates Pass—you get 20% off, and it’s well worth it if you plan to visit again (and you will!). Highly recommend this place for a flavorful, wholesome meal. A must-go spot in Aliso Viejo! Thank you.

Foods great, drinks awesome. Its a beautiful place but I will say the music is really bad and kindof ruins the vibe. I suggest you play something that isnt Jcpennys elevator music.

First visit, I really liked this restaurant. I would give it a 4.5 rating, if I could. 2 downgrades, hot items were served only “warmish” and they add a 3% surcharge for CA mandates. I had the Grilled Steak Plate ($20.25). > Steak - good flavor and prep, but it was a little chewy > Chili Lime Street Corn on the Cob - very good, great flavor and a surprising 2 pieces served > Beet Salad - very good, nice sized serving with goat cheese pieces > Rustic Bread - good Service was friendly, they have both inside/patio dining areas. Restroom was clean. Recommended.

Fast casual eatery with healthy food options is a win for us even before we get our food. The menu clearly lists calorie counts, which is helpful in choosing. Ashley was friendly and efficient taking our order. The atmosphere is nice with a variety of seating options inside and out. They do a brisk takeout business, which may have delayed our order just a bit. Our food is fresh and right-sized. I had the Parmesan shrimp, Brussels sprouts and beet salad. My husband had salmon, basmati rice and Caesar salad. Both are properly cooked and moist. The crisp-tender cooked Brussels sprouts have a nice not overly sweet glaze, but the beets are a little too sweet for my taste. To top it off we shared a cowgirl cookie with a crisp-chewy texture and studded with dried cranberries and coconut. A good first impression. We will return.

When the Chipotle line was too long, I decided to treat myself to what I thought would be an upgraded lunch at Urban Plates — but unfortunately, it didn’t feel like an upgrade. I was disappointed when they said they wouldn’t make the rustic bread dairy-free (other Urban Plates locations are happy to). Then, after holding the door for an employee with his hands full, his only response was, “Okay.” Not exactly a warm welcome. My food arrived quickly, which I appreciated, but it wasn’t cooked to my preference, didn’t taste great, and again, came without the rustic bread that the website states is dairy-free.

We have ordered from Urban Plates a few times, every time at least one item was missing, or the order was delivered after a ery long time. Even though the store promised refund for items not delivered, we never received the refund. Last night wanted to give them one last try, and again they missed to deliver one of the sides. Also the food quality was so bad it was inedible. The chicken tenders looked weird and seemed to be a week old at least (see the photo), and hard as a rock. Last time I order from them, such a waste of time and money....
