Dinner at Cafe Rio and a Movie

July 8, 20122 Comments

Well, I’m startin’ to feel the Sunday night blues. 🙁

I love the productivity of Mondays, I just don’t like Sunday nights.  Sigh.

Anyway, we had a fun weekend.  Kev and I went out on a much needed date Friday night.  We’ve been so busy lately, that date nights have been pretty sparse.

We went to Cafe Rio for dinner.  I love that place!  It’s a fun (always busy!) Mexican restaurant with awesome food.  I ordered the Pork Barbacoa Salad (my fav!) and it’s just so so so good.  When I’m trying to be ultra healthy, I order the grilled chicken salad, but because the pork salad is freaking awesome….I decided I needed it. 😉

This is how I ordered it….

Whole wheat tortilla (instead of white), no rice, black beans, double lettuce, pico de gallo, guac, cilantro and no tortilla strips.  I did drizzle just a bit of their amazingly awesome dressing on the top.  I don’t think it needs too much though because there are so many flavorful things already in there.

This salad is the bomb.  I usually only eat 1/4 of the tortilla but it tasted especially awesome so I had about 1/2 of it.  These salads are also so huge I usually eat half and take half home.  Love it.

I gotta say, the only thing that bugs me about Cafe Rio is they don’t post their nutritional information.  I hate it when restaurants do that!  I even emailed them once to request it….no response.  Lame.

I still love them though.

Oh, Kev ordered the chicken tacos.  They looked yummy and he loved them.

Ya know, at times I feel a little dorky taking pictures of our food in public places.  Lol.  People probably think we’re a little strange….or that we’re a little too enthusiastic about our food!

After dinner, we went to see Snow White and the Huntsman.

I was excited to see it because I love Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth…especially Chris Hemsworth.

Day-ang! I just love him.  I love his accent and I just love him.  I loved him as Thor too.  Note: I just googled him and he is only 28!  Who knew?!  I thought he was older.

I’m officially a pedophile.

Overall, it was a pretty decent show.  I didn’t love it, but it was entertaining.  Charlize Theron was amazingly awesome.  She is an incredible actor and looked absolutely stunning.  I did think it was a little dark and seemed to drag a bit, but it was still worth watching.  The end was rather lame though.

We had a fun night.  I love going to dinner and a movie with my favorite person!  I hope you all had a fun weekend as well.

xoxo.

    Love Cafe Rio salads too! I always order the tostada, but ask for a soft tortilla (can do wheat) instead of the crunchy shell. What I get is a small salad. Awesome, and the portions are not out of control.

      Oh my gosh Tamra, that sounds awesome! What a good idea. I’m definitely going to try that next time. Thanks for the tip. Love it.
