| - The Stetson Chopped salad is something that has no equal.
If you're from the Phoenix area, or have visited a few times, you've probably run into a similar chopped salad at other restaurants, but Cowboy Ciao was actually the inventor of this yummy treat! So you should definitely try it here first if you want the true AZ Stetson experience.
I hate salmon. With a passion. In fact, I hate most seafood. But the smoked salmon in this salad is seriously delicious! It doesn;t even taste like salmon; it's sweet, slightly smoky, and the texture is similar to a ripe tomato. I know that sounds gross but I swear it's not.
I got my salad to-go before having a girls' night in with some friends, and I ordered it about 5 minutes before I headed out the door to grab it. To my shock and wonderment the salad was ready for me before I walked through the door, even though the hostess told me it would 15-20 minutes! Awesome. The guys behind the bar were efficient with getting me my food, eating utensils, and taking care of my bill. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
The salad isn't as good when you're eating it from a box, but it was still delectable. The dressing... to die for. It's a pretty pricey restaurant (I think my salad was around $20 total after taxes and a $2 tip) but I was craving it so what could I do? The only downside to the entire place is the lack of parking, which in my opinion is a big turn-off for this entire area of Old Town. But that obviously has nothing to do with Cowboy Ciao, more so it's just a complaint for me to take up with the local mayor.
