El Rodeo ad Stacked Carvery



3/1/13
El Rodeo: Lunch
You know, I know that El Rodeo and the many similar Mexican places scattered through the East Coast with similar names are not, in fact, authentic Mexican cuisine. But El Rodeo has some amazing guacamole and they’re always very nice about whatever weirdo requests we may have. And who doesn’t like a place that lets you order a side dish of cilantro? And they have a bit over the other Mexican or Mexican-ish places around here in that they serve alcohol. Sorry, it just doesn’t really feel Mexican without a margarita and a BYOB margarita wine is just not the same. I’ll sacrifice a little authenticity when the food is still tasty, the staff polite, and the liquor plentiful.

Stacked carvery: Lunch
Bryan and I hit up this place for lunch. The staff was amazingly nice and hospitable, and the sandwiches decent, and the location works really well if you happen to be downtown (say, at Central Market) and want a quick sandwich. A couple of vegetarian-friendly options, including a meditarrean-style sandwich. BYOB. However, there are lots of places to get decent sandwiches downtown, including Isaacs and a bazillion cafés, so I’m not exactly sure I’d make Stacked Carvery a regular stop.
