As promised we revisited the new vegetarian restaurant in our little town of Bucerias and had another outstanding meal. The maestro behind these works of culinary art is Andrew and I don't use the words "culinary arts" lightly. My wife and I lived in the San Francisco/Berkeley area of California for over 12 years and great restaurants were plentiful. Roots in my opinion is right up there with the very best of the SF Bay area.
Last night I had the Black bean cakes. They were phenomenal! I can't wait to go back. My wife had the Sweet Soy Ginger Bowl and said that it was incredible, so much so that she refused to share a bite with anyone. The sandwiches brought raves from the crowd. They were served on home made whole grain buns. I watched the portobello sandwich being inhaled accompanied by moans of delight. My son raved about his roasted vegetable sandwich.
The fresh fruit and vegetable juices are also outstanding. My favorite is the Red Beet mixture. My wife favors the watermelon creation. Both are excellent.
On the next page I have put the menu. Unfortunately it does not contain the juice menu but I'll add it when I get a copy.
In summary I have to say that this is a world class restaurant. When we were eating we were debating whether they should even say that they were a vegetarian restaurant, just because many people would not come because the word vegetarian puts them off. I think as the word gets around, this will change because this is really great food, so great that you'll wonder why you thought meat was so great anyway....
In December our neighboring town to the north held one of a series of surfing contests. Sayulita is a beautiful little town that has a reputation for attracting young people and it's probably mostly due to the fact that there is an excellent break that produces some fairly reliable surfing conditions. One of the purposes of the contests is to select the best surfers for the Mexican National team that will compete worldwide.
