I finally did it! Finally got to try these:
Coconut Kale Enchiladas from Bliss Raw Cafe.
Menu description:

and cashew sour creme wrapped in coconut tortillas
It’s the coconut tortillas that really got me. Somehow, they were soft and crispy at the same time. And their sweetness made a perfect foil for the acerbic kale.
This was actually my first time ever trying enchiladas– raw or cooked, vegan or non. Somehow, even though I’ve lived in Texas for years, I’d never had them before. If other enchiladas are as good as these, I’ve been missing out! But then again, other enchiladas don’t have coconut and kale… so they couldn’t possibly be as good as these!
Other things I’ve ordered at Bliss:
Loved loved loved this! The basil pesto was especially yumlicious.
Not so big on this one. But really, you can’t expect to love every item on a restaurant’s menu.
On this trip, I brought along the Bamboo Utensil Set I received as a Christmas present. My friend asked, “Aren’t you ever worried people will think you’re weird for bringing your own utensils to a restaurant?”
Well, first of all: No, I don’t care. If people want to think I’m weird, that’s their loss. My grandma always said, “If they’re laughing at me, at least they’re laughing!”
Second of all: It was a raw restaurant, for goodness sake! The guy serving us had about ten tattoos on his arms, and a lady across from me had hot-pink hair. Not exactly the kinds of people who judge you for going against mainstream society.
I’ll say product reviews, just to be different 😉
I love raw/vegan restaurants! Glad you enjoyed your meal… those tortillas are certainly intriguing 🙂
And I’ll go with product reviews.
Wow! That looks great! Wish I could find a raw restaurant out here. 🙁
Oh well…I love to cook!
mmmmmmm oh how i wish i wasn’t so scared of raw foods and their high fat content 🙁
Hmm, I say a product review. I find them entertaining.
Another nut butter recipe would be fantastic!!!!!!!!
Wow! Those enchiladas look delicious! I’m for new nut butter!
Those are the prettiest enchiladas I’ve ever seen! I would love to try a raw meal like that 🙂
New nut butterrrrrrrrrrr! Maybe I should get a job at a raw restaurant here. I fit the bill with the tattoos at least 😉
Oh you should! Maybe I should too… it’d save me a lot of $, since raw food is so expensive 🙁
I´d prefer a review!
And omg, that looks delicious!!
I really need to check that vegan restaurant in my town out…
Uh if you were worried about people caring, you wouldn’t bring your own utensils. That’s how I feel about bringing my water bottle in my purse to restaurants. A girl needs what she needs!
The saucy stuff on top of the enchiladas looks so tasty. I haven’t been to a raw food restaurant in a while because last time I went to one I became ill. I guess it was heavier than my stomach expected!
AND…nut butter!
O.M.G. Katie, I want some of those enchiladas! WOW they look good!!! Lucky you 🙂

Megan Fox brings her own utensils to restaurants, too:
=================================
Fox has an intense fear of germs. She’s extremely wary of restaurant silverware. ”Putting my mouth where a million other mouths have been, just knowing all the bacteria that you carry in your mouth? Uccch,” she says, with a shudder. Public restrooms are to avoided whenever possible, especially when the toilets don’t have lid: ”I’m never doing that again. Every time someone uses a bathroom and they flush, all the bacteria is shot into the air.”

=================================
Hehe I’m in good company :).
YUM!!!! i want to go to that cafe and order that!!! I wish it was closer to me….I don’t think one meal justifies driving 1,000 miles….
I vote for the nutbutter recipe!!
Oh but of course it’s worth driving the 1,000 miles. Then again, I’m biased; I want to meet you ;).
Haha! I want to meet you, too, Katie!!! Maybe someday….
