I ordered a smoothie, empanada, burger, and quesadilla.

More details below.

I was happy Mi Vida was open, the other restaurant that I went by was closed.

I wanted to order a papaya smoothie, but they didn't have any papaya. So I instead ordered mango. It was delicious, and had tiny chunks of ice in it.

I am growing very fond of empanadas. I really had never eaten them before until this week. This one was filled with quinoa and vegetables. I covered it with their house sauce. I was told it was a mixture of cilantro, mayonnaise, and a few other secret ingredients.

The quesadilla was my favorite. It was filled with a colorful variety of vegetables. I also added black beans, pico de gallo, and mofongo. The mofongo (fried plantains) made this quesadilla the best one I had ever had. It was sweet and full of flavor.

The veggie burger was phenomenal, it was a bean burger. The grilled onions and mushrooms made it even better than I had hoped. The potato "chips" looked like crunchy chips, but were soft like french fries.

I didn't get a picture, but they brought their condiments out in an empty six pack of beer. I thought that was very clever.

I sat on this couch for my meal.
This quote translates to :
"How long will you stay with me?
I prepare coffee or I prepare my life?"

I didn't order any coffee, but I will the next time I eat there. It sounds to me like the owner prides himself on having his coffee creations ahead of his own life.
Now that is dedication.
