| - Let's get it out there: I'm a huge fan and frequent patron of Chipotle, and to be frank, OCB is in no danger of changing that. However, when I moved downtown, I was stricken with a conundrum: the nearest 'potle is in Steelyards.
Frickin' Steelyards, people! I'm not driving 20 minutes WITHOUT traffic to get my veggie bowl.
All that said, OCB did not disappoint me. I spend a lot of time in Ohio City and I stop in there for lunch every once in a while. All of the salsas are pretty good and the overall taste of my taco salad was solid. I wasn't instantly impressed, but It was a pleasant eating experience overall.
A major turn-off for me is the pre-shredded cheese they use. It's covered in that fine dust (is it corn starch?) to keep it from sticking to itself and it doesn't get melty at all and it makes me sad.
Overall, I could see myself going back there, but I have been told that Orale, which is just down the street, is excellent, so I'll try that next to see what's what.
To be frank again, I didn't like it as much as Chipotle, so take that as you will. I was highly impressed, however, with the drink selection. If you've never had Jarritos before, try one! Tamarind is really good!
