El Cholo - Chile Colorado

Went here after a job interview, Tacographics looked ~ suave as shit ~ all dressed up and professional.


First the chips and salsa:


Standard fare.  The salsa was thin but had a classic mild flavor.  If they just added some chopped tomatoes it would be solid. 

This place is a step above Acapulco in price/quality.  I didn't want to spend $15 on a meal so I got the chile colorado for $11.  It was also pretty standard fare.  The beans were tasteless, rice was fine, and the guac was fresh but meh. 

The entree - chunks of shredded beef in an extremely mild chile/tomato broth, I liked the portion of the relatively lean stew meat. Any die-hard Tacographics fan should know I really enjoy the texture of shredded cuts (of meat) in general.  

Depending on your perspective, you can say El Cholo is less salty than some places... or just plain bland.  If you like mild food, this is your place.  Fans of spice: look elsewhere
