I ordered one of everything on their challenge menu. Since ordering is done at the counter, rather than through a server, this meant that all of my food arrived at the same time.
The first course was the Spicy Fruit Salad, consisting of mixed lettuce, jicama, orange, cucumber, mango, and pineapple, topped with chia seeds and spicy apricot chipotle dressing. The dressing had a kick to it, but it worked well with the refreshing fruit selection.
The main course was Revoltijo--The Mix. It was a bed of wild rice served with a mixture of garbanzo, fava, and green beans, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, butternut squash, and Swiss chard, then topped with pine nuts. This was a delicious and satisfying fall dish, combining a nice variety of tastes, colors, and textures.
After such a filling entrée, I was glad the dessert was fairly light. The Alegria--Joy was an amaranth pudding made with almond milk and agave, and topped with pecans, which added a nice crunch to the sweet grainy pudding.
