Opiniones de Café Ventanas Del Mar
Best breakfast dining hall on campus. Hands down. If you’re a regular, you will get noticed. Best to come right when it opens or before 9:00 am (rush hour). Also fine for lunch too. Lots of options and they account for holidays as well. Was closed for renovations last spring quarter but should look a lot nicer now. Definitely give it a shot if you haven’t already!
Ordering is usually scuffed but looks nice. Dining hall food is dining hall food

The food is awesome! The staff are helpful and friendly.
Love it and good price and service!
Great food and service!
all of the employees are hot 😳
A great selection of food, and wonderful service, from my experience (apart from an occasional long wait - mostly for in-high-demand stir fry this quarter). My personal favorite place to eat on campus. :)
The crispy chicken sandwich is like the Spotify premium of your highschool chicken sandwich. I be scarfin down that godsend 24/7. Global got some cool dishes that will give you that feeling of a white mom that just discovered the spice drawer. Impinger's pasta bowls never miss as well. The seating area is pretty cool, with a raised middle section in case you want to lord over your peers as you slave away at MMW. Overall, I know it ain't the best dining hall at UCSD, but I rep cafe V 4ever 😎👍
The food is satisfactory. The place's environment is very nice. Surrounded with windows as it's name suggests. Would recommend if one is stuck with ucsd's dining plan.
It took me a bit to figure out how this works. Mostly students call ahead and pick up orders to go back to their rooms. They do allow outsiders to drop in but only take credit or debit cards.
Surprisingly tasty food
Nothing but positive vibes here. Friendly staff, fairly tasty food, and did I mention friendly staff? The workers there are the best!

Grilled cheese and fries a good combo, 9/10 times is perfect, sometimes the cheese is not very melted.

It's a pretty dining hall. The food is UCSD food, so don't expect much, but it's one of the better options in my opinion.
サービスはよかったのと、土曜の遅くまでやってるのがよかったです。味は普通……
Decent food compared to what people say, nice atmosohere.
Tasty and varied options and would be 5 stars if not for the location and price.
Very good service, very friendly. Good food aswell
Not bad for the price, but great place to chat with cohorts and do homework
Food is good. Environment is great with amazing view.
Expansive but one of the best dining halls oncampus.
Decent enough food for a college dining hall
As a dining hall, I have no opinion (I've only gotten water here). But as a meeting place, this is a great facility! Shoutout to JSA for their Japanese Conversation Hours, which used to take place here :)
The food is good but very repetitive, however, there is a great atmosphere.

On Campus Cafeteria. Extremely salty.
Pizza no good...
Long waiting time
This place is hard to find.
Sigh. Education.
Not much to say. Some days it's good, some days there's more to be desired. The view is always beautiful.
Yummy food great way to spend dining dollars. Lots of windows
The stuff here is edible, sometimes...
The staff was friendly and the service speed was pretty good. The food quality, on the other hand, left much to be desired. In addition, they only offer ice cream in chocolate, strawberry and coffee. In what universe is coffee a flavor preference over vanilla, generically speaking?
I'm a freshman starting at UCSD in ERC. The overall food quality and environment of the restaurant are good, but every time I try to order something off of the triton to go app, my order is either not received or late. (Not a restaurant. I’d recommend going to if you're in a hurry)

tastes bad, environment desirable
Bruh
It is common knowledge the worst dining hall on campus, crazy prices
Not much of a selection, basic stuff, overcooked buffet food
Cereal could've been better
Got a stomachache from having a burger here
Ever since the new menu, food quality and taste has decreased. And no music :(
My first impression of the exterior and interior of the dining hall was, "wow that's very nice". The food however, is mediocre, overpriced, overcooked and sometimes undercooked. The pizzas are not fresh daily, you can tell by the taste that they have been reused from the day before. The dining hall from what I heard from a friend that works there, barely passed the health inspection. The dining hall allegedly suffered from cross contamination in the meats, so vegans and vegetarians beware. Furthermore, the burgers are incredibly bland. I either receive a bland overcooked burger or a bland undercooked burger that when I bite into it tastes like oily mush. The fries that accompany it are decent, the ones that come with the asada fries are better. I don't know why chefs or students don't season their meats like they would the fries. Breakfast is boring, the sausage in the breakfast burritos are incredibly salty. To top it off the chopped up sausage is old leftover sausage from the morning before. The fruit is decent, also bland at times. I don't know how people would feel about knowing that allot of their fruits and vegetables are washed with antifungals. Nonetheless, it's convenient.
Food is often not very good and very inconsistent. Sometimes I do feel a little sick throughout the day after eating there. Service is pretty robotic besides a few nice longtimers. As a student, I typically avoid it if I can.

Overpriced. You easly spend 15$+ just for lunch here. Preying on students...
Very low efficiency, waiting for hot dog for more than 30mins, lazy staff……
The only place that you can pay two dollars for half a potato or five for a whole
The best meal of my life.
Often cold food at high campus prices
Bad food and unreasonably high prices
It's 7:18pm and they close at 9pm. They love either hanging up the phone or have it off the hook so calls don't come in. Called there multiple times.
Horrible dining hall food. Very bland. On the plus side, their chicken tenders aren’t bad :) and the staff is amazing!
Inconsistent serving sizes of terrible, bland, overcooked/dry food for high prices. Some of the student staff (Javier) are extremely unfriendly and rude.
You have to watch out for the Cook's they never changed gloves, eating out the food on the line to serve for the customers. They never changed gloves or aprons
