Choice is on the menu of inexpensive, quick eats at The Purple Cactus, where customers build their own West Coast-inspired wraps and burritos. It starts with the tortilla selection: white, whole-wheat, spinach or red chile (or opt for a topping-filled bowl minus the carbs). Next come the fillings of grilled chicken or steak, pork, poached shrimp, grilled vegetables, tofu, jasmine rice, brown rice, black beans and so on. House-made guacamole, chipotle chile, salsa fresca and low-fat yogurt follow. Other options include chicken pozole soup and a gargantuan nacho plate. Pair your meal with a limeade-style Cabo Cooler or the refreshing cranberry-mint Santa Fe Sling. Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies crafted with peaches, bananas, pineapple juice and mango add California sunshine, especially when given an added boost of ginko biloba or soy protein powder. Take a fudgy walnut brownie, slice of cinnamon coffee cake or chocolate chip cookie to go.
