There’s something magical about acai bowls. Maybe it’s the antioxidants, maybe it’s the fresh fruit and berries on top, or maybe it’s just because they’re sweet, but every time I eat one, it makes me feel like I have a tummy full of sunshine.
Rubicon Deli makes one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted (and I do mean ever) and their acai bowl ($6.25) is also no slouch. Made with a big scoop of frozen acai and topped with fresh, seasonal fruit, granola, and honey, it’s a great way to cool off your mouth after polishing off a sandwich on their homemade spicy jalapeno jack bread.
What makes Rubicon Deli’s acai bowls one of the best in San Diego is the consistency of the acai, which is a lot like a sorbet or gelato. It’s dense, intensely fruity, and just a bit creamy. Another difference is the flavor of the acai, which is less sweet than most, so you can really taste the chocolate and blueberry undertones.
For just over $6, you get a huge serving that’s the perfect size to share, especially if you split a sandwich — a combo that’s definitely one of my favorite options for a weekend lunch.
