| - FIrst visit to Pura Vida today, 3/28/12, after reading some Yelp reviews. What a wonderful little gem in the heart of downtown las vegas. Definitely not someplace a tourist might wander into, but definitely something all tourists and locals should take note of. I'm a proud meat eating carnivore, but the vegan fare at Pura Vida is absolutely delicious. The food is wonderful and the presentation beautiful. I had the lentil soup and salad, my date the bagel with onions and we both shared an amazingly delicious red velvet cupcake. Everything was gorgeous, delicious, and you really could taste the heart and soul that the chef/owner puts into the food. The service was excellent, this is not a fast food place, but our dishes were out in no time at all. the dessert was absolutely fabulous, negating all the healthy food we ate prior. Well worth a visit. Not the best neighborhood, but the quaint atmosphere made you feel like you were in an argentinian bistro or somewhere far from downtown LV. A must see, a very enjoyable experience.
