Soup:
Mexican Pumpkin Puree! $8
Delicious! Pumpkin, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, cumin, cinnamon, etc., in this lovely pureed soup suitable for the season! Topped with toasted pepitas for a little crunch!
(Vegan. Gluten and dairy free!)
Appetizer:
Mexican Black Bean & Cheddar Bites! $14
These are so delicious!!! Four little fritters made with mashed up black beans, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, ancho, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese! Held together with bread crumbs, they are fried up until crunchy and served with a homemade chipotle-lime mayo to dip! Good for 2-4 to share.
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, eggs and gluten).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!

Main:
Mexican Green Sauce Chicken (Pipian Verde) $26 (Veg: $24)
SOOOO GOOD - Dev spent a long time making it! The sauce has pureed cubanelle peppers, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), jalapenos, long yellow peppers, onions, tomatillos, peanuts, sesame seeds, spinach, cilantro, cumin, oregano, allspice, cinnamon, garlic, veg stock, etc. It is amazing! You choose chicken breast or veggies (butternut squash & chayote, the latter being a delicious gourd that tastes a bit like zucchini, with a hint of apple) to get cooked in the sauce. Served with steamed rice and a fresh slaw (made with green cabbage, carrots, red onions, jalapenos and a lime-mayo dressing). Divine!
(Contains peanuts, eggs and sesame. Gluten and dairy free! Vegetarian with the squash and chayote version).
Dessert:
Mexican Chocolate Brownie! $10
A chocolately explosion with a hint of cayenne and cinnamon, it is topped with a whipped meringue-like icing and chocolate chunks! Big enough for 2 to share!
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
