Well folks, this is it, your last chance to dine at Cafe de Flores for good. thank you to all who have come and supported me this summer and over the years, it has been fun and exciting!

This week I hope to see everyone for a last time as I am your waiter, bartender and chef - cooking in my little kitchen, angling the fans just so that everyone can have a tiny relief from the summer heat, and mixing up some mean margaritas! I will be off working on my new venture, MAGNOLIA'S due to open in a few weeks (mid October) and would appreciate the send off as it will be sad and exciting these last few days...

Menu subject to change as I will be cleaning out the fridge (haha) but here are some things that have been successful over the years and that you might or might not see at the new place:

Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Thai Beef Salad - sweet & spicy dressing, tender beef, veggies
Mom's Green Chicken Enchiladas
Shepherd's Pie - ground beef in a mushroom sauce, veggie, creamy mashed potatoes
Thai Seafood Red Curry with coconut rice
Mom's Chocolate Pecan Pie (at least her recipe since she is not here to make it!)
Autumn Apple Cake
Mango Chile Margaritas

Thanks again, this is bittersweet for sure!!
