soggy bottom boys

check it, one of my favourite spots in indy, El Rodeo.
i like the one on High School Rd, just north of Crawfordsville.
there are a ton of these places i guess, all over the nation.
maybe it is a chain, maybe it is not a very original or unique name for a Mexican Eatery.
...whatever...there are at least 10 in Indy,
but i like the West Side one, so i doubt i will seek out the "others" that may be out there in the vast reaches of the greater Indianapolis area.

i don't menu gaze at places, unless it is the first time i go.
once i find a dish i like, i usually stick with it.
if i wanna try something else, i'll just go to another place.
sure, on subsequent visits to a place, i will sit there and make it look like i am going through the menu for some hidden gem, but what i am really waiting on is for my wife to pick something to fit her pallette, while i try not to gorge on chips and salsa.

well, Nachos el Carbon, at the afformentioned El Rodeo RULES!
grilled chicken, steak and shrimp hanging out in a melty white cheese lake
with some lettuce (i prefer salsa and the green sauce on the tables to the pico they default with it)
all neslted with a hefty portion of tortilla chips.
the bonus of additional chips already on the table to use as a utensil just adds to the already awesomeness.
one of the best parts, i call, "Soggy Bottom Boys."
these are found all the way at the bottom of this plate-of-delight.
the bottom-most chips, that have been saturated witht he melty cheese.
you almost feel sorry for them, they have lost all rigidness and crisp that once proud, almighy tortilla chips posses and have traded it in for a soft, flexible, tasty little cheese spoon to help scoop up that last bit of grilled meat you left on purpose.
mmm...good ol' soggy bottom boy.

10 out of 10 stars everytime.
i would go every day if i could.

and yes, you just read a review for a plate of nachos.
basically the easiest plate of food to pull off.
i mean, really, how can you fuck this up?!?!

there would be a pic posted of said dish, but we haven't made enough money off this blog yet to afford a really nice picture taking machine.
and any picture i google of this sort of food just doesn't do it justice and makes me so hungry i want to punch things.
