This used to be my favorite place to go. I would go several times a week. It has a great table outside, in the shade that was a perfect place to work or read. And, very importantly, you could get unlimited refills on tea. Problem was that everything on the menu was pretty much high calorie. Even when I did extensive research on the nutrition site ( while I was waiting in line to order), nothing that I liked was low calorie. Plus, it was always hard to resist the chips and salsa.
Almost 2 months ago I went to a sports nutritionists and she changed what I eat. She teaches athletes (or wanna be athletes) how to fuel their bodies, (or not gain weight while training for a marathon)
I found a healthy satisfying meal I could get here.
And recently, I went here.
I can get anything in a bowl, all the veggies I like, guacamole, and salsa. No rice or beans. Note about the guac - it costs $2, so it may not be worth it. Also, share the chips with someone. They are slightly lime flavored and if you can limit yourself to 5 or 6 it is good. The whole bag is over 500 calories, so be careful and count out a few and give the rest away.
You already know about what I get here.
Now, none of these places have a great outside table in the shade, but they do have free refills.
I miss you Rosa. I may have to go by and just get your unlimited refill tea.

I can attest to this! Rosa's was almost a staple of our childhood after church on Sundays.
ReplyDeleteI recommend grabbing some Chipotle and getting an iced tea at Rosa's!
