100% Natural - Leave your preconceived notions about healthy food at the door and discover how delicious nutritious food is at 100% Natural. This fresh franchise from Mexico, headed by Jose Solis-Camara, Diego Aleman and Mauro Leder, features a unique and diverse menu that will completely change the way you think about eating right.

Sure, you'll find items normally associated with health foods, including wheat grass shots and fruit smoothies. Try the delightfully refreshing Cancun, a ripe blend of papaya, strawberry and banana or the Oasis with juicy pineapple, strawberry and fresh-squeezed orange juice. The exciting twist here is that you can also enjoy a bloody mary, margarita or mojito, all perfect pairings to the preservative and additive-free items like whole-wheat pancakes, massive sandwiches and salads, and authentic Mexican entrees. The steak tacos are heavenly, served with guacamole, refried beans and an array of fresh-made salsas. Other popular Mexican dishes include fajitas and the molcajete, an appetizer with tortillas, fondue-style cheese and shrimp.

If it doesn't sound like your ordinary healthy restaurant, that's because it isn't. There's nothing ordinary about 100% Natural. That's part of its point - to get its customers to eat well affordably and make smart choices without sacrificing taste. Even breads and homemade desserts, like the highly recommended corn pie, are made from wholesome ingredients.

Come Thursday nights for Mexican night where only the Mexican menu is featured along with 2x1 cocktails or visit for brunch Saturdays and Sundays, 8am to 2pm. With available outside patio seating enhancing the natural experience amidst the naturally beautiful setting of Key Biscayne, there's no doubt why the fresh perspective of 100% Natural keeps customers coming back for the 100% perfection it serves.

Allied Mortgage Group's Senior Care Partner program was created as an educational resource tool for social workers, caregivers, medical facilities, hospitals, foundations like the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and organizations such as Hospice. In these challenging economic times, it is imperative that people become even more aware of a reverse mortgage as a much-needed and often overlooked financial option to care for themselves and their loved ones. As part of the SCP outreach, Pamela Kirkpatrick (of Allied Mortgage Group) was invited to write an article on reverse mortgages. The article was published in the Fall 2009 edition of MS Focus magazine. You can contact Pamela Kirkpatrick of Allied Mortgage at (954) 342-2500.
