"My dog bought me dinner..."

My dog brought me dinner....My best friend bought me dinner....

There is a publication on Kauai that comes out in the middle of the week, it's appropriately titled, "Midweek."

Midweek recently ran a restaurant review on a local Mexican restaurant called 'Verde'. Their food is new Mexican style  fused with a touch of Hawaiian and Asian cuisine.

I had never been to the restaurant but was inspired to go for two reasons, the review made the food sound mouth watering and ono plus the owners were offering a $20.00 credit to any order if you could show you recently adopted an animal from the local animal shelter by showing your receipt.

I went in and was greeted by a smiling server and asked if my receipt was good since it was almost two years since I had adopted my four legged companion, 'Obama." She went back and asked sou chef Jason if my receipt was valid, he smiled and said YES!

He recommended the Ahi tacos along with a side of Sopaipillas with honey on the side. Sopaipillas are a pastry normally made with lard, he changed the recipe to not include lard. I ordered both to go.

When I got home I was in for a surprise, This was the best Mexican food I have had in years.  I admit it being free had a lot to do with it.

The real test will be when I return and have to pay for my meal, if it tastes anything thing as good as the first I will be coming back time after time!
