I’ve been reading about this place ever since I moved to Las Vegas. And periodically would make a mental note to visit. It got good reviews and is the only raw foods restaurant probably in the entire state. But, never did go—-.
Then a Groupon coupon appeared in my email for Go Raw Cafe and I bought it. This was the impetus I needed and Friday night we drove over and pulled up in front of the restaurant.
Outside Dining at Go Raw
It’s located in the Lakes and one of them is right outside the restaurant so it’s a pretty location. Plus I saw some tables which would be great for outdoor dining when it gets a little cooler here.
60's Vibe
Walking into Go Raw is like taking a trip back in time to the 60′s. Peace, Love and Kum ba Yah. But it’s for real here. They mean it and you do feel peaceful, happy and relaxed after spending some time inside.
It’s a pretty large menu and it’s all live, vegan and organic. Starters, Salads, Soups, Entrees Sushi, Wraps, Pizza and Smoothies, Shots and Desserts. No flour, no sugar, no salt, no fryer…..everything advertised as living and healthy for you.
I really wasn’t sure how this could be that tasty. No cocktails? No wine or beer?
Part of the Large House Salad
Our waitress urged us to order the Go Raw House Salad because she said everyone loves it. And she said the full order would be too much, that we should split a half order. ($7.88). She was right. Everybody loves it for a reason—it was delicious. And big. We tried but we couldn’t finish it. Just a super fresh mix of greens, cucumbers, shredded carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, sprouts, avocados, onion, nuts & seeds. With the house dressing. This was so good.
Enchiladas, Half Portion
Vic wanted the ‘Enchiladas’— again, a half portion ($8.88), which were enchiladas filled with a ‘cheese’, salsa and guacamole and served with ‘sour dream’, yam rice, ‘beans’ and flax crackers for crunch. He said it was really great.
Mexi-Wrap
I had the Mexi Wrap (half portion $6.88) which was a mixture of nuts, seeds, herbs and spices filling collard green wraps. Topped with salsa and guacamole and served with flax chips. Unusual, different and very good.
Blueberry Cheesecake??
We were both full but I had to see what desserts would be like so I ordered a blueberry cheesecake ($6.48). How could this, with no dairy or sugar, possibly taste good. When the waitress brought it, I was surprised. It looked like something I’d buy at the 7-11 in the frozen dessert case. Well, maybe at the vegan 7-11.
Cheesecake Side View
Then we ate some….wow…delicious. Creamy, sweet, berry flavors with a crust of coconut, seeds and nuts that was also so tasty. We quickly finished it up.
So not only is this food excellent—but you leave feeling virtuous and healthy. Kind of ‘at one’ with the Cosmos.
