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 vote for the nut butter recipe. I am glad you got your enchilades and they were great. They look and sound yummy.
Oh my gosh! You tried them! SO JEALOUS! 😀 They look every bit as amazing as I’ve heard they are! Ok, if there was ANY doubt in my mind that I’m eating these next time I come to Dallas (end of February!), it’s gone now. These.will.be.MINE!
We should go together… and get two orders. Although I still think the lasagna is my favorite :).
Those enchiladas look great! I vote for the nut butter recipe for tomorrow’s post. 🙂
Those look awesome! I’m always too scared/lazy to recreate raw vegan food as complicated as this, at home, but that might just tempt me.
New nut butter recipe!!
was that gluten free? it looks amazing i want a raw cafe near me! 🙁
I just googled it, and it IS!! 🙂
i wannaaaa vegan restaurant. why do i live in a huge city full of meat eaters?
Love that bamboo utensil kit! I’ve got two on order for me and a pal!
Aw, you’re such a sweet friend :).
ohmigosh that looks delicious! I wish I had those pro styling skills! 🙂
The food looks awesome! WOW!!
Normally restaurant food does not excite me. It actually is fine but I never get “excited” but those kale wraps, the zuke noodles (even tho you said they were just ‘fine’) but they look awesome, the raw lasagna…num!!! I would love to go!
I can’t help you with the pink hair, but I have plenty of tattoos and a half sleeve, so I’d fit right in 🙂
As I told Kelsey, I think that people who go against the norm are what makes the world great! Imagine if we all looked the same and wore black and white… :(. Life would be SO boring!
One of the coolest guys I know has a mohawk hehe. Sometimes he dyes it rainbow!
Nut Butter 🙂
And I wish I knew how to make coconut tortillas!! No you are def. not wierd for bringing your own utensils, I bring my own salad dressing if I know its a place that doesn’t have high quality dressing.
