While I usually enjoy a nice variety of veggies on my dish, I am not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination.  So when my vegetarian sister came to visit, I had to do a little research to find a good place to take her out to eat.

A couple Google searches later, I found a spot called green, a vegetarian restaurant near downtown (1017 N. Flores, 78212).  Anyone been there before?  I was pleasantly surprised to find pretty normal food offered on the menu.  I ended up ordering The Reuben ($8): grilled vegetarian ham, American cheese, sauerkraut and chipotle mayo served on Ezekiel bread.  My sister had The green Burger ($8): a homemade veggie patty with avocado, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo.  We both loved it!

Another cool thing about green is a statement they have on their website…

“green will be a part of San Antonio’s transition from one of the fattest cities to one of the fittest cities.”

I’m assuming they were talking about a recent article that named San Antonio as the third fattest city in America.  Nothing cool about that!  I know I can stand to use the Vista Ridge fitness center a little more too so I’m trying to to my part.

All kidding aside, green is great and I totally plan to go back.  Hope you get a chance to check it out too!
