Soup:

Corn Chowder! $8

This is always a hit, so we bring it back often - with onions, garlic, bell peppers, corn, cumin, jalapenos (but it's not too spicy!) potatoes, butter, cream and some cilantro! Amazing - it is bursting with love, and is one of Jenn's favourites.

(Vegetarian. Contains dairy. Gluten free!)

Appetizer:

Return of Bean & Cheese Empanada! $13

A flaky, buttery homemade dough stuffed with a filling of cheddr and spiced mashed pinto beans (onions, garlic, cumin, lime, ancho & chipotle powder, oregano, etc.) and baked until brown. It's huge, very filling and can easily be split between two or even three people!

(Vegetarian. Contains gluten and dairy).

Drinks:

Chai $4.00

Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)

Coffee! $3.50

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!

Cold Drinks:

Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3

Fuze Iced Tea $3

Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50

Main:

Southwest Beef (or Sweet Potato) Navajo-Style “Tacos!” $24 (Veg: $21)

A lot of intricate steps go into making this fabulous dish! Ground beef (cooked with onions, corn, green peppers, kidney beans, garlic, ancho & chipotle powder, allspice, oregano, paprika, cumin, etc.) served over a huge homemade fry bread like our doubles bread (a puffy, crunchy bread with a soft interior). It is topped with lettuce, green onions, fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and homemade guacamole (avocadoes, lime juice, cumin, cilantro). For the vegetarian version, we are doing seasoned roasted sweet potatoes with kidney beans and corn instead of beef. Very filling, and full of flavour! It is huge - you can attempt to eat it as a big taco, but it’s best with a knife and fork!

(Vegetarian with the sweet potato version. Contains gluten and corn. Dairy-free without the cheese).

Desserts:

1 of 2: Orange Pistachio & Almond Cake! $10

The cake base is made with crushed pistachios and almonds, cardamom and freshly squeezed oranges. It has a butter cream icing made with fresh orange zest! So fresh! Big enough for 2.

(Contains almonds, gluten, dairy and eggs).

2 of 2: Lemon Poppyseed Cake! $10

A classic but with extra thought put into it! Four lovely layers of the homemade cake with real lemon zest, butter and poppy seeds. With a homemade butter cream-lemon curd icing! Big enough for 2.

(Contains gluten, dairy and eggs).
