The Meal Prep Co.

Negative experience: Horrible customer service.

Negative experience: Customer service is great, but the food in the fridge just wasn’t it.

Negative experience: Food was decent but pricy, but very turned off by their aggressive sales tactics

Negative experience: I wanted so desperately to support local so I’m sorry for the review but I has to be said. These are the worst meal prep meals I’ve ever had. I chose to buy a few because their website says you can pick up in person! Amazing, sign me up to walk in last-minute and just choose a few of what they’re offering. I bought 5 meals for $62 and change. First thing hit me was how empty most of the coolers were. There were 6 meal selections total. Not what I expected if they state online they offer meal preps as a “walk in” type service as I had used a similar service while living in Denver. These meals are the strangest combinations (asparagus with oatmeal anyone?) and the worst tasting/texture. Every chicken meal I had (3 out of 5) were unbearably dry, in the buffalo chicken meal even the rice was so dry it fell apart hitting the plastic container with the saddest of sounds. The chicken teriyaki was served with spring mix salad and walnuts, one tiny thing of teriyaki sauce so I hope you like dry salad cause the chicken soaked up every ounce it could get of moisture. I also had an oatmeal/egg white meal and the oatmeal was absolute glue, so sticky, and again served with some random veg on top. I pay for meal prep to have healthy/diverse meals, not the same 5 vegetables as sides with chicken all week. Super disappointed in the meal quality, lack of selection and lack of cohesion of ingredients.

Fantastic experience: I have been with them for over 6 months. The consistency in their food quality,l and customer service is exceptional!

Fantastic experience: Excellent so far. I tried another company first and this one was better quality, quantity and cheaper. They add little accents to the meals that make a difference. Oh!.. I am not sure if they make their own buffalo sauce or not but it’s awesome!.

Fantastic experience: THEY ARE GOOD JOBS OF FOOD THE MEAL PREP

Fantastic experience: Best meal prep in town ! Customized my meals , made understanding my macros & workouts easy as 1,2,3 . Not only did I feel comfortable speaking about my pros & cons to Mai & Jimmy about my journey , Signing up with Juana was even easier . I really appreciate the opportunity to have met this team & so excited for this new lifestyle change !

Fantastic experience: Great food very yummy. Well balanced portions! The agave salmon is my favorite and the teriyaki beef plate!

Fantastic experience: Their meals are not only delicious but also well-portioned and thoughtfully balanced. Each dish is fresh, with high-quality ingredients, and packed with flavor—something I often find lacking in meal preps. I love the variety of options each week. Plus, this is a local business and their customer service has been outstanding; they’re responsive, friendly, and go the extra mile to ensure satisfaction. Highly recommended for anyone looking to save time, eat healthy, and enjoy truly tasty meals in San Diego area! ;)

Fantastic experience: Best meal prep in SD! Tons of options and the meals are always tasty. Never the same thing each week, always different and fully customizable. Price is very fair for the quality you get! Mai and Jimmy are the best people too! True family owned business!

Fantastic experience: I have used the Meal Prep Co on and off for a few years and I love having nutritious meals for the week from them. My husband and I have very busy schedules and are terrible cooks and this service really helps us eat right. I feel so much better when I have the correct macros and Whole Foods. Not to mention every interaction from picking up my meals to changing my preferences is friendly and laid back. You can tell they care about the community and what they do.

Fantastic experience: Great meals. Helped me reach my weight goals along with the personalized consultation.

Fantastic experience: A lot to say about this place. The owner is totally friendly, very informative . we were just curious about the prep. And how things work. And? We learned a lot. This place is cool if you're into Prepping meals, if not, you can get into it. Everything seems customizable. They have a awesome menu and a cool staff.

Fantastic experience: Amazing company! Each week I get my meals and they taste so gooood!

Fantastic experience: todas comidas perfectamente porcionadas y todo muy fresco y super limpio y todo el personal muy amable en verdad mi xalificacion para este negocio es de 10 y 10 para todo el personal lo recomiendo sin duda alguna

Fantastic experience: Delicious and convenience meals that are filling and yummy!

Fantastic experience: We are here from Texas. We stopped in to get some meals as an alternative to eating quadruple our calories all week. We are/ were pleased with the quality and taste of these meals.We were anticipating coming back by today to purchase more, but they said they won’t have anymore until Sunday. That does not make any sense, if you’re trying to make money or expand your business. I’m not complaining, I’m just explaining but definitely give this place a try. We were very pleased!

Fantastic experience: This is a great local company that I highly recommend. I started with the Meal Prep Company in the end of March and cannot say enough good things about this place - the meals are tasty, reasonably priced, and I have lost weight and gained muscle following Mairene and Jimmy's program.

Fantastic experience: They exhibit remarkable responsiveness in accommodating changes, and their food is not only delicious but also prepared with a focus on quality and hygiene.

Fantastic experience: Been with The Meal Prep Co for 2 years Meals never late always ready to pick up. Great quality of food which is rare when it comes to other meal prep companies. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using the Meal Prep Co. for months and I would highly recommend them. They are incredibly responsive when changes are needed and the food is tasty and clean.

Fantastic experience: Just trolling sounds. Good great idea

Fantastic experience: The best meal prep company hands down. I’ve tried many but these guys are consistent, fresh and always on time with the delivery on Sundays.

Fantastic experience: Great service, tasty meals ♥️

Fantastic experience: Amazing!! Their food is really fantastic! For those of you who have meal prepped, you know the struggle of a repetitive diet. Day four of the same chicken you cooked on Sunday! The Meal Prep Company provides me with quality meals, and a constant variety. All at a reasonable price. Very satisfied!

Fantastic experience: Muy bueno y limpio

Fantastic experience: Professional, caring, rotating menu. The food is delicious and unique. Highly recommend this for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Meal Prep Co. is a fantastic company to work with. All of the meals are delicious and delivered to my house making it extremely easy. They also do a great job of preparing a customized meal plan to your goals. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great company to work with. Delicious food and always on time deliveries. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love The Meal Prep Co! They make delicious, healthy meals that are easy to prepare and ready to go when you need them. Their website is super helpful and easy to use, and their customer service is top notch. I can't believe how much money they save me each month by having a meal plan in place. I never have to worry about what to eat for lunch or dinner again!

Fantastic experience: Great consultation and customer service! All the meals were very yummy and made following my macros easy!

Negative experience: Had a negative experience with the owner. He is a very self righteous d-bag who thinks hes better than everybody else. Will not do business with him or his company ever.

Fantastic experience: Love this service! I've used them multiple times. The service is smoothly run. They are communicative and streamlined. Easy Peasy! The food is filling and satisfying!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal service! My wife and I use The Meal Prep Company anytime we are looking to complement our fitness results with proper eating or busy life requires some help cooking. Their service is perfect, you always know exactly what you are going to get, totally reliable and the food is great. Sometimes we use them because we are busy professionals and don't want to worry about making meals ourselves, sometimes we use them when we are just wanting results. We continue to go back to them and will continue to do so due to the service, meals and flexibility.

Fantastic experience: Was a great service meals were good, and had solid portions. There was variety so it didn't get boring.

Fantastic experience: I've been using this meal prep service for a while now...Couldn't be happier!!! Great food, wide variety and amazing staff. Would and have highly recommended to ALL of my friends and family. Jimmy and Mai are amazing as well. They genuinely care and strive to make you better! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Their Customer Service is outstanding. The meals are well prepared and tasty. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for great meals! And for being very flexible with me.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a really good meal prep company in San Diego then this is definitely the place! I’ve been ordering though The Meal Prep Company for quite some time and the food is never disappointing. Most healthy meals can be tasteless and not much to them, but the meals at this place have so much flavor which I really appreciate. The one thing I really love about this place is that they have such a variety of different kinds of meals to choose from so you never get bored of the food. They also have a vegan option which you don’t really find at a lot of other meal prep companies. The seafood ones are a must try!! Preferably the agave salmon which is my favorite. I can go on about the food forever, but the staff is the best. They are so friendly and very knowledgeable about what they do. I’ve ordered from other places and this place blows them away!

Fantastic experience: This is definitely the best meal prep company in San Diego! Their menu changes weekly, you can have your meals tailored to your macros, or buy easy to go meals. I really love how customizable their services are. Also they have vegan options! These meal preps have been a life save for me while working full time and being in school. They’ve helped me maintain my weight during times I haven’t been able to work out much. Love them!!

Fantastic experience: Just got my first vegan meals and I am truly impressed. I was hesitant because it was new to me but I am absolutely ordering four of the five options I’ve tried already... I’m having the fifth one tomorrow. (I may be back to update this review when that one makes me just as happy as the others.) Not having to make something to eat when I’m already hungry and making bad decisions is one of the best side effects of meal prepping. If you’ve never given yourself the a chance to try a prep company, try this one. The food is flavorful, healthy, and full of all the things you need to make your brain make the right decisions.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great stuff about this meal prep company. They listen to your goals, set out a plan for you and guide you to a healthier lifestyle while achieving what YOU set out to do. All that is available to you because they offer personal consultations. They’re available when I feel like I need a push in my nutrition guidance and they are always willing to help. Totally recommend starting with the nutrition counseling and talking to them about a consistent plan to start. If you already know what you need you can skip that part but it’s always there. I decided to pick and choose what meals I want on their other plans. Sometimes I even order just proteins and make my own meals with their prep. They have a paleo line, breakfast and they even just started a vegan line. I’ve really enjoyed the new options!

Fantastic experience: The nutritionists at the Meal Prep Co of San Diego were very thorough in helping me with my meal plan. I can't thank them enough. In the past couple months, I have lost 10 lbs and I have been sedentary. They set me up with a macro plan which included my meals and they explained what else I needed to do on my own. The meals are well proportioned and I never felt hungry, plus they are delicious. I am trying to lose another 10 lbs within the next 2 months and I know they will get me there. I highly recommend The Meal Prep Co. of San Diego.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience with The Meal Prep Co. The meals have been delicious and it's different meals each week. I've been struggling with weight and depression after having my second child. With a combination of their meals and working out 5 days a week, I've already lost 15 pounds in a little over 4 weeks. Not having to prep my meals and just focus on my workout has helped kickstart my fitness journey. Also, great customer service. I called with a question after hours and they got back to me immediately. I highly recommend The Meal Prep co if you're looking for well priced quality meals.

Fantastic experience: They have amazing tasting food and their staff are super friendly

Fantastic experience: Meal Prep Co. was a great experience for me. Good wholesome food, satisfying portions, they took care of the need for me to shop and cook.

Fantastic experience: Started ordering from them about a month ago, they are amazing, quality food, very flavorful and they definitely take care of me everytime, thank you.

Fantastic experience: Look no further if you want a delicious and reliable meal prep service! I started ordering from them 3 years ago and never had one bad meal. They really care about each client, and do a consultation with you in the beginning so that they can help you meet your goals and create the perfect plan for you! Each meal is designed for your body and its needs. They create such a variety of meals so that you don’t get tired of eating the same thing over and over. Some of my favorites include their meatloaf, sweet chili salmon, teriyaki chicken and carnitas pork. By ordering from the Meal Prep Co you are also supporting a family business that cares about their community! During Covid-19 they made masks and sent meals out to hospital workers. They are such good people, that I know are passionate about what they do! If you stick to their program you are bound to see results and enjoy lots of tasty meals. I’m glad that they showed me that eating healthy can actually taste good. Thank you Meal Prep Co. for taking care of me over the years

Fantastic experience: Amazing Food! Very thorough intake in the beginning so my meals were customized to my individuals lifestyle needs and goals. Jimmy and his team clearly know how to advise on a wholistic approach with accountability tools and check-ins. Definitley recommend Meal Prep Co!

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed my meals from Meal Prep Company. I'm into my 3rd week and have yet to try a meal I didn't like. So far the menu had been different each week. The portions are filling. When I want even more I add veggies to the mix. I heat up most meals in a pan for best results. Great service and numerous delivery options. I'm very happy with the service!

Negative experience: Mairene and Reyna are terrible. Jimmy was great but he really needs to change how they take care of their customers. Mairene - no knowledge and unprofessional. You really need to learn how to speak to people. Jimmy was great but I wouldn't use your services for the fact that your wife is a complete a-hole.

Fantastic experience: I love the Meal Prep Company. I used this for quite sometime and recently had to cancel it due to moving. They are the best! I definitely recommend to anyone looking to eat healthier and the easiest way possible.

Fantastic experience: The staff is extremely friendly and are so so accommodating! I was traveling a bunch, which caused me to shorten my orders and switched my pick up locations. They never skipped a beat. Food was good and when you weren’t feeling something you simply emailed them and they removed from your menu. I’ve never had such a personal experience as I’ve had with The Meal Prep Co. Highly recommend!! Stopped only due to traveling for the remainder of the year. Will think about joining again after the new year!

Fantastic experience: The food is delicious, I appreciate how flexible the staff are with my schedule needs and I recommend MPC to all my friends in San Diego, Ca.

Fantastic experience: Love the food - very easy and convenient. Great Customer Service too! The food is fresh and delicious and very filling.

Fantastic experience: Wooooooo! Yummm Saved the party!

Negative experience: I had a terrible experience here. Short version: We picked up our food on Sunday, our food was rotten by Tuesday. The Meal Prep Co did not stand behind their product and tried to lock us in our 4 week contract regardless. Mediocre food, the worst customer service I've ever seen. Long version: Colleen and I shared the same terrible experience, but since the owner of this business is airing dirty laundry about me on a public forum (is that even allowed?!), here is my side of the story. I had a pleasant experience with Jimmy. I met him during a presentation he did while I was working out at Fitness Quest 10, and he was very knowledgeable during our consultation. My experiences with both Reyna and Mairene are the reasons why you should stay away from this company. Reyna contacted me on Friday after we voiced our concerns regarding our rotten meals. She was apologetic on the phone but informed me even though our meals were rotten, we were still "locked" in for four weeks regardless. When I insisted that we will not be continuing due to obvious reasons, Reyna threatened to take me to collections. Mairene called me 30 mins after my conversation with Reyna, and wanted to meet in person. She went to say, and I quote "I f@&$en hate this part of the business" (customer service?) and due to the high startup costs, they would not make any money if we quit after a week. (Not our problem?) Mairene insisted we were "locked" in for four weeks and she ended our conversation with, I quote, "see you in court". Mairene is more concerned with maintaining a positive relationship with Fitness Quest 10 (I will talk to Todd) and getting positive reviews on social media (this was so bad that both Colleen and myself needed to write reviews), than with a paying customer who received rotten food. Mairene's brash and aggressive attempt to solve this issue ignored the simple fact that paying customers were unsatisfied. This seems to be a trend in other negative Yelp reviews. Mairene personally defamed me on a public forum, this was very unprofessional. My tone was stern and matter of fact. As a paying customer, it is my right to hold companies and services to the standards in which they were advertised. Mairene, this is directly to you. You did not tell Reyna to "call it quits with you guys". Both you and Reyna insisted we were "locked" in for four weeks even though our food was rotten. At no point in our conversations did you tell me we were out of our contract. Although it was not "my idea" to just pay for the consultation fees (which you advertised as "free" FYI); it will satisfy us. And like I told you on the phone, should there be any further issues with my credit card companies or collection agencies, legal actions will be taken on my part.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, food, delivery/pick-up options and cost! I did this plan for 4 months and loved it! There is flexibility each week in how many meals are delivered, which is great for folks who travel for work, like me! If you truly stick to their plan, the pounds will come off. I'd suggest starting with at least 2 meals per day for 5 days per week. Hope this helps! : )

Fantastic experience: This company rocks. They really take the time to get to know you and your goals, then tailor a meal plan that fits your lifestyle. The food was always awesome, and super easy to prepare. I would definitely recommend The Meal Prep Co for anyone wanting an easy way to eat healthy and delicious!!

Fantastic experience: Learned a lot from them during the consultation they provided at the beggening, food was tasty not what I expected from meal preps definitely recommend to anyone looking for meal prep service

Fantastic experience: NEW LOCATION..same delicious food, same awesome customer service!! Good job Jimmy and Mai!
