| - We went to Cowboy Ciao for the first time last evening and the food definitely did not impress. We started with two appetizers, the quesadilla of the day and the squash soup. The quesadilla was made with filet but there was so much cumin in the concoction that was all you could taste. It was also pretty spicy. Overall, not enjoyable.
As to the squash soup, it was also extra spicy and full of cumin. I guess there must have been a sale on cumin at the spice warehouse. Instead of a nice bright golden or yellowish color, as is typical for squash soup, this was a dark brown.
We then shared the mushroom specialty. It was just so-so. Yes, there are a lot of mushrooms. But, surprisingly, since our other dishes had been overly spiced, this one was pretty bland. We asked for some salt (which arrived immediately) and with a dash of salt, one was able to enjoy the flavors much better.
On the other hand, I should note that the service was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive.
