| - Fresh chips and excellent salsa kicked off the meal, which moved on to a pitcher of margaritas -- a bit sweet to my taste, but the addition of orange slices was an interesting touch.
For dinner I had a dish I can't remember the name of -- it was essentially a hash of steak, chorizo, onions, and cilantro. The name may not be memorable, but the dish was: a fantastic combination of flavors, not too spicy, served in a sizzling rock bowl.
I was a bit disappointed, though, to see such an Americanized menu from a place that appeared at first glance to be perhaps a bit more authentic than most. I think Cleveland is ready for real Mexican food; Chi-Chi's is long gone, Momocho is hip, and the time is right for a blue-collar Mexican joint that transcends the traditional combination-plate Amerimex fare.
Don't get me wrong, El Rodeo does a fine job. I'm just ready for more!
