Cafe Red Onion

Mmmm. I had the most amazing meal last night at Cafe Red Onion. I ordered something off the menu, the special of the night, as recommended by a most courteous waiter. Usually, the specials at a restaurant are not vegetarian-friendly so I typically ignore them. But last night the special was avacado enchiladas served with a mango salad, rice, and a few black beans. Did I mention that avacado and mango are two of my favorite things in the whole wide world? The meal was excellent, and Cafe Red Onion has once again shown why it deserves a spot in my top ten restaurants in Houston. Unfortunately, I am not sure my friends enjoyed their food as much as I did. Oh well, their loss!

Here is a picture of the meal I had at Cafe Red Onion the first time I went there. It was taken on a friend's cell phone way back when cell phone cameras were new and cool. I remember that night well as our group had just seen Peter Jennings and Jim Lehrer speak at school. Oh, those were good times.
