I would be remiss to go on much longer without mentioning Go Go since it’s where I eat lunch almost every day in South Beach. When it comes to lunch, I look for two things, healthy and affordable. There’s no telling what kind of damage I’ll do to my credit card or calorie count come dinnertime, so at lunch, I try to curb my enthusiasm. Go Go is the perfect place to do this as they serve up a variety of fresh salads, homemade soups, and baked empanadas with all natural ingredients. I tend to go through the menu and mix and match a mini salad (which is actually pretty big) with an empanada for the perfect portion. Some of my favorites include the Shrimp Mini with mixed greens, green peas, hearts of palm, and homemade lime cilantro dressing. The new Vitamin K Mini is a delicious mix of kale, bok choy, brown rice, tomatoes, onions, walnuts, cucumbers, and red peppers with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. The empanadas range from classics, like the Argentine with ground beef and green olives, to more inventive creations, like chicken pot pie, Philly cheesesteak, and eggplant parmigiano. These combinations come in at around $10 and ordering at the counter makes for a quick, healthy lunch on the go!
