My preexisting impression of the bar/restaurant Saloon was that it is a great place for nightlife and comical karaoke on Wednesday nights. But recently I got to know their food selections very well in a matter of one day.
I first tried their “saloon tacos” one night and was very pleased by the sophisticated plate that came my way. They are white and in the shape of squares or rectangles, reminding what gourmet cuisines are prepared on for Iron Chef. Though I was excited for the presentation, I soon realized that their tacos were very spicy. I love spicy food, but it was almost overwhelming for a taco. On the other hand, I was impressed by the amount of salsa and queso that is served in one order; they are served in regular sized bowls.
The next day I found myself eating out in their patio. I figured that I just had their southwestern take of tacos, so I wanted to try something different. They serve mostly southwestern food with certain “chef specialties,” which are priced from $9 and up. So I decided to stay at a reasonable price and had a hamburger. Though the burger was atypical for a southwestern restaurant, the bun had a tasty, buttered seasoning on the flip side and the burger was extremely tasty and done just right. They accompany it with waffle fries, which are already salted to perfection. Though I was pleased, my dinner companion had the Tortilla soup and was disappointed that it was prepared unusually and the soup itself was nothing to brag about. They should have read the menu closer to know all of the ingredients, but they were not impressed by the unique additions of sour cream and avocado to the soup.
All in all, Saloon is great for its unique take on food.
