| - Got some take out here yesterday since Happy Cow told me that it was the closest vegan place to where we were running errands at. It's in a little shopping center like most places in Vegas & it was pretty easy to find.
I'm a vegetarian who is about 80-90% vegan when it comes to cooking at home but I have never had raw foods at a restaurant. By definition I didn't really know what a raw foods lifestyle was, I only had a generalized idea. After coming here I did some research & realized that it's that & some more. Long story short raw foods is about eating unrefined whole foods in their natural state for better health as heating food takes away from the nutritional value of fruits/veggies. Anyway I learned that it's not as crazy as society makes it out to be it's just about creating meals like any other but getting the full benefit from the plants.
As a first timer here I was a little confused when I walked in. There was a lady sitting at one of the tables, I didn't put two & two together that she worked there at first since when we came in she didn't greet us or anything. I looked at the wall which had a juice menu but not food, turns out they have paper menus by the cashier which I took home for future reference. The lady noticed we seemed confused so she helped us with that. She was nice, just a bit reserved, she explained some of the dishes to us & I appreciated that.
There are a lot of options for juice & food. They also have a salad bar. No pictures on the menus which is usually how I like to decide because I'm very visual & I can tell immediately what I'm going to like by looking at it. Being offered so many options is nice but having to read through them frustrates me a little. It is a plus that I could take the menu home though, at least in the future I can read comfortably & know what I want for the next time.
The half size is good if you're a small gal like me & can't put away too much. It's a decent sized meal & I was super full at the end of it. We ordered a half size of enchiladas & a half size of vegi-cotti since they were sold out of lasagna. Both were very good & not over bearing on flavor, just right. The enchiladas were so satisfying & I loved the guac & dips on the side. The veg-cotti was really good too, the only downfall was that it stunk super bad of what I think was garlic. Our car ride home was a little tough lol but stinky-ness aside it was yummy. Price is a bit high which I can expect when eating out but overall I see myself coming back since the food was great, especially the enchiladas. I would like to try other items in the future & perhaps even visit the other location by the Lakes. It also inspired me to attempt more raw meals at home as well. Thumbs up & will def be back.
Oh forgot to mention! - They sell some raw snacks, tons of vegan supplements, & cookbooks too which is nice.
