| - I went to Roseangel tonight based on promotion from Happy Dog and the Plain Dealer. Yes, I went here with my Wife, Morgan, who already did a review, but I feel pretty strongly about this and wanted to add my own thoughts.
It was a little busy, but not overwhelming for a Friday night. Despite empty tables, it still took a few minutes to get seated. We didn't catch our servers name, but we later learned that she was recently hurt on the job, resulting in stitches in her knee and a week off from work.
It took somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes for our first round of drinks to show up, our waitress did keep apologizing. After ordering it took another 10 or so minutes for our Chorizo Sausage Corn Dogs to show up.
The corn dog was okay, but something was off about it; the combination of the mustard, chorizo and batter just didn't meld well. The "hot" mustard was barely spicy, while the chorizo did have some heat.
Our drinks ran dry and our entrées were held up, leaving us sitting there starring out the window at Happy Dog across the street. There were several moments where I thought about walking over to get a beer. Our waitress did keep apologizing for the delay.
Between conversation and keeping track of the socialized media on our phones, we people watched the Happy Dog patrons. The girl in the grey jeans stepped outside 6 times to smoke before we got our tacos.
I ordered the braised pork, hanger steak and spicy chicken tacos. I think they mixed up my order with the flavorless cabbage slaw tacos. Each taco came on a separate plate, which consumed our two-top table very quickly.
The completely unseasoned Spicy Chicken taco wasn't spicy at all. My Mom, who thinks plan tomato salsa is hot, could have eaten the chicken. In place of the spice was char, to the point of being crunchy and a little dry. The Pico de Gallo was pretty good, at least it was seasoned. I can't comment on the green peppers or grilled onions because they weren't served on the taco. The crunchy shell was already falling apart when it got to the table.
The Hanger Steak, which was recommended to me by our waitress was utterly flavorless and again covered in charred. The cabbage was a prime player here, even overriding the onions and mayo. The soft shell seemed homemade and was pretty good, although it too broke quickly.
The Braised Pork was the best out of my three tacos, as well as having the most well composed plate. That said, I make better pork at home and the green chiles must have ran away with the green pepper and onion.
Nothing tasted like it had been seasoned before, during or after it was cooked, the plates were hastily and sloppily composed and the flavors just didn't work. Despite cautions about the hot plates, none of my food came to the table hot; striking due to our long wait.
I hate to just outright bash the place, but this was one of the most disappointing meals I've eaten since I visited One Walnut for lunch three years ago.
I completely agree with Morgan that we should have got to Momocho.
