WaBa Grill: new healthy food restaurant opens in Chula Vista

WaBa Grill opened its newest franchise June 6 in Chula Vista. The California grilled fusion-style food franchise offers a choice of low fat food options. The new Chula Vista franchise store is located at 1170 Broadway.

The restaurant, which serves boneless, skinless, fat-trimmed chicken, and quality meat, seeks to satisfy the desire for healthy food while being tasty.

WaBa salads are hand-tossed and prepared shortly before serving; vegetables are lightly steamed to perfection and all meats are charbroiled. All food served at WaBa Grill has to meet six standards: cooked fresh to order, low calories, low carb options, high protein, fresh vegetables and deliciousness.

The chicken and steak specialty plate — the WaBa plate — includes a combination of grilled all natural chicken brushed with the signature WaBa sauce and marinated rib-eye steak served on a bed of rice (white or brown) with a side of kale and seasonal fruit.

WaBa Grill offers many options. With a wide variety of selections, the restaurant offers chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon and tofu. White rice, brown rice, vegetables, kale salad, fruit and avocado are also available to make the perfect combination. All WaBa Grill bowls are less than 700 calories. Nothing is fried and no oil is used in the cooking process. There are more than 27 entrees priced under $12.

With more than 130 locations, the franchise, which was founded in 2006, has experienced rapid growth and opportunity to share a health-driven quality lifestyle fueled by healthy food made with fresh ingredients.
