Comments: One of my favorite places for a nice healthy and light meal that leaves you feeling full but not stuffed and definitely refreshed. For years I subsisted off their Tex Mex Wrap whenever we went here (it is a wonderful, perfectly-wrapped delicacy of rice, grilled chicken, beans, and veggies served with a yogurt-cilantro sauce and their signature pico de gallo on the side) but have recently expanded into trying other options. My favorite so far is the Chinese Chicken Salad. Yes, it is served with authentic mandarin oranges and crispy wonton strips. It is, indeed, the salad of your people! (Margaret Cho anyone?) The Chicken Panini is fantastic too though - the chicken is fresh and not dripping in mayo, served over a lightly toasted whole-grain roll. Fresh salad with yogurt-based dressing on the side. Yum! But the real reason I´ll duck in here most of the time are their fresh juices. They have about 20 different varieties that are made on order. My favorites include the Mummy (Oranges, Tangerines, Raspberries), the Baja (Limes, Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries), and J-Bay (Limes, Passion Fruit, Raspberries). Feeling like having something a little more substantial? Smoothies are a great option too, with the Berry Blast being the best choice.
