What Students Are Saying

I am a picky eater, so the food is not as high quality as most cafeteria food. Most of their food is delicious and people still gain those Freshman 15, so healthy eating is always a necessity.
Andrea from Mission Viejo, CA
The Caf is good, some of the salad looks funky some times but other than that, the grill is always open and the soups are amazing!
Kaitlyn from Castaic, CA
the food is great sometime not all the time, but it is healthy.
cafeteria food is really not bad at all and most of the time what they serve is healthy such as, salads, vegan burgers, and other foods that are from foreign countries which is probably good to try out other food from different countries.
Cristina De La Cerda from Lancaster, CA
The Caf.

Some people love it, some people eat it cause they don't have any money to go off campus.
Caitlyn :) from Temecula Ca
i live off the salad bar, usually the hot food disappoints. breakfast is the best meal of the day by far. on the weekends, they serve leftovers and its really sad. they just built a new cofffeeshop on campus which is like starbucks but better and cheaper.
ashley from madera, ca
Food is amazing! You can never go wrong with a buffet.
