Veggie Grill Opens in Mountain View

Veggie Grill has opened its second Northern California location.

The first one debuted in San Jose’s Santana Row. The newest one opened its doors this week at 565 San Antonio Road in the San Antonio Shopping Center in Mountain View.

The fast-casual eatery offers up tasty vegetarian and vegan fare that features wheat gluten-products that stand in for real-deal chicken, beef and fish. Choose from salads ($8.45 and up), sandwiches ($8.95 on up),  and soups ($2.95 for a cup, $4.50 for a bowl).

This marks the 24th location for this Southern California company.
