Comments on: CILANTRO’S: Tac-o the Town http://thegazz.com/gblogs/bloginmysoup/2007/08/28/cilantros-tac-o-the-town/ Just another Thegazz.com weblog Thu, 8 Jan 2009 18:33:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.0 by: Mike Dillion http://thegazz.com/gblogs/bloginmysoup/2007/08/28/cilantros-tac-o-the-town/#comment-1909 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:09:23 +0000 http://thegazz.com/gblogs/bloginmysoup/2007/08/28/cilantros-tac-o-the-town/#comment-1909 I tried Cilantro's for the first time on Thursday--and for the second time on Friday! Excellent fare, but I can see how one can get in a rut. If you get something you like, why take a chance on other options that may not be as much to your liking? So far it's been strictly beef, but in order to avoid that rut, next time I'm vowing to try something different. Come to think of it, I've been in worse ruts, though.

I believe that all of their salsas have cilantro, so if you're on the same side as my Miss S, steer clear and just order extra sauce (most of which are herb-free). In response to the commentary that a Cilantro's meal is a messy one (and it certainly is), at least it's not as messy as a meal at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/9WV1VHIehZQ" rel="nofollow">Taco Town</a>.

Glad to know we have a site all to ourselves (thanks Red). I've always felt I was in the minority, as most folks we know simply love the stuff and even order extra. Fortuntately, as my Sweetie pointed out, the restaurant Cilantro's gives us the option of a completely cilantro-free meal. Yeah! Also, their prices are great. Tuesday night is buy-one get-one half price, so it's a terrific cheap date, leaving couples plenty o' cash to catch a $5.00 movie at Park Place.

I thought you were talking about the restaurant at first, Red. Too funny. I'll be sure my wife visits the site (thanks for the link). I have found that most people either love cilantro, or hate it. I'm one of the minority in-betweeners. It certainly doesn't bother me if it makes an appearance in a dish, but some chefs go a little nuts with it, like they're piling cheese on a Skyline Chili 5-Way.

Personally, I absolutely love the stuff. I'm very happy that the inexplicable month-long cilantro shortage at Kroger has finally ended. How the heck can you make salsa without cilantro? I cook Tex-Mex a lot at home and it just isn't the same without cilantro. Cilantro haters, there’s a web site for you (if you haven’t heard of it already): www.ihatecilantro.com.

You either want a cerveza or you don't. But the things that you get in return for limited choices are so worthwhile! Some nights I yearn for the shredded pork with raspberry sauce and mango salsa...or fish with the creamy sauce...yumm!

Love the Red Stripe idea (currently they only offer Dos Equis and Corona). The Boylan brand of sodas, what with their natural cane sugar sweetener, would make for a nice choice, too. Their ginger ale is especially refreshing and crisp, and the ginger would help with digestive functions. More drink options would be a very good thing.

I have to tell the help not to overstuff because it it's like eating a Chihuahua. With taco sauce. Plus, it'd be nice to have some more drink options like a Jones cream soda. Or a Red Stripe. But all-in-all, a good hole in the wall. I do like the build-your-own burritos at Cilantro’s, but what a mess. I have to tell the help not to overstuff because it it’s like eating a Chihuahua.
