Tamale, Tomato on Toast, Pound Cake
I bought tamale at a street vendor who was stationed at the corner of little plaza in front of Church of San Francisco. I just caught them before they packed up and go. Salsa verde was my choice. I bought it on another day to take it home to turn it into a light lunch.

Summer Rolls
Rolo=mango and chocolate sauce in flaky pastry with walnut vanilla ice cream
A friend of us who know the town told us that Venus has an excellent desert and a flamenco style guitarist on Friday nights. So, we went. Yes, I ate all of above. Rolo was the best. The music was enjoyable and the musician came to talk to us after he played. Oh, and he lives in Canada and he is a Russian.
Cheesy burrito
I was like, “really really you had to put this much cheese in a burrito?” It was tasty, but this much cheese every day is really exhausting.

We went to this tiny lovely cafe inside a spa. They had only 1 kind of salad and 1 kind of sandwich for a day, but they were fresh and very good. I love jicama in a salad.
The Sandwich (cheese, lettuce, tomato)
The Salad (avocado, jicama, tomato, lettuce, cheese)
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta, sauteed Swiss chards and tomatoes
My stomach was tired. We just had the second Nutri Verde food for lunch. I needed something quiet, so I found a jar of sun dried tomatoes at Bonanza Market and whipped up a meal. 🙂
We loved food at Nutri Verde so much, we went back for more. This time, Patti cooked fungus soup and mushroom pie just for us. Today’s special included Pineapple mint water, fungus soup, mushroom pie, zucchini pie, and tomato risotto.

Via Organica is the organic cafe/grocery in town. They are also a hub for organic education. They also brew their own beer, which is tasty. Using fresh organic produces and simply prepared dishes are wonderful. We went back there many times in this 2 week stay in San Miguel de Allende. My favorite Mexican dish, Chili Relleno and a big glass of lemonade, I’m happy.

Cori found this lovely off-the-beaten-path lunch spot in town. It is run by Patti, just one woman who loves to cook for people. She cooks organic lunches in her converted garage every day. And a young lady (maybe her daughter?) serves. We all ordered Today’s Special, which included green drink, pumpkin soup, breaded cauliflower in tomato sauce, lentil patties, lentil patties in tortilla, brown rice risotto with zucchini, and green salad.

French Pastries! How many can you eat in a day?
This is what happens in San Miguel de Allende on our first day. We found a wonderful French bakery, Cumpanio, in the center of the town. It is hard to be a vegan here.

Second Breakfast
We went to the organic farm right outside of the town for a lunch. Everything was good, but very very creamy and my tammy hurt later…
