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:
Mexican Black Bean & Cheddar Bites! $13
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 to share.
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy, eggs and gluten).
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!

Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Mains:
1 of 2: Return of the Chimichanga! $26 (Veg: $24)
A glorious monstrosity of a burrito stuffed with seasoned rice (tomatoes, bell peppers, kidney beans, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano, garlic, cilantro, onions, etc.) and your choice of shredded chicken or roasted sweet potatoes. It is then deep-fried until crunchy (but not saturated) and drenched with a homemade luscious smoky sour-cream cheese sauce that is out of this world (it has chipotle powder, ancho chili powder, garlic, cheddar cheese, etc.)! Served over chopped lettuce and topped with cilantro and tomatoes! Amazing! It is BIG. Very big.
(Contains gluten and dairy. Vegetarian with the veg version).
2 of 2: General Tso’s Chicken (or Tofu)! $25/$22
In case you missed it last week, we have it for another night! Dev’s version of this classic is delicious! Chicken breast pieces or tofu that are marinated in ginger-garlic paste & soy sauce are then coated lightly in cornstarch and a bit of flour and deep-fried until crispy! Tossed in a tasty homemade sauce (with hoisin, rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, etc.), with broccoli and bell peppers. It is topped with sesame seeds & green onions, and served with steamed rice. A very generous portion and everything is homemade! If you like sweet and salty Chinese food, look no further!
(Contains gluten, egg, sesame, cornstarch and soy. Dairy-free. Vegan/egg-free with the tofu version).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Mango-Pineapple Sponge Cake! $10
Trifle-style, this is a lovely homemade sponge cake layered with crushed pineapple and mango chunks and homemade whipped cream and some condensed milk! It has a graham bottom! Simple, but tropical and delicious!
(Contains gluten, eggs and dairy).
2 of 2: Allergy-Friendly Tropical Coconut Rice Pudding $8 per portion (A Soup Bowl’s Worth)
A gluten- and dairy-free treat, it is sweetened with coconut sugar and honey (instead of cane sugar). The rice is cooked in the sweetened coconut milk with star anise and banana extract, and topped with mangoes and pineapple. You choose whether you’d like it warm or cold!
(Dairy, gluten, nut and cane sugar-free).
