Cowboy Monkey Unveils New Menu

00353_spring_2008_impromptu_page_1.jpg

During winter, while the music scene pondered the decision by Nieto Enterprises to stop scale back live music at Cowboy Monkey in favor of a more "restaurant-oriented" focus, a lot of people all asked the same question: What is going to be on this new menu?

Well, look no further than Smile Politely, as per usual.

How does it stack up? You be the judge...

Ah, the chipoltification of our cuisine continues.

I'm disappointed. While I like spicy food on occasion, not everyone I like to eat with does.

Hey, seriously, that's my menu! Maybe, I should charge $8.75 for guacomole? Thanks for bringing taco flavored kisses to downtown Champaign!

The $8.75 guacamole caught my eye too. That's a lot o' cash for some guacamole. It's like the most expensive thing on the menu!

Really? That's unfortunate. I sort of liked the old menu. I guess I never go to CM so it won't affect me.

Just what this town needs, more tacos. Maybe they should change the menu at Seven Saints and make it Chinese, cause lord knows we need more general tao chicken in this town too!

Isn't everything going to basically taste the same? I think that there is chipotle is almost every entree!

Well, I just had the pork tacos. I thought the flavors were great: nice heat, tons of cilantro, good addition of cabbage. The more authentic double-shelled taco is always a good thing to me. I'd say that the price might be a bit high. You get nothing with the three tacos apart from your little cup of cabbage. A few chips, maybe? Something? At $2.50 a taco, throw people a bone. And the guacamole portion is big, but THAT big? No. I think that price will scare away most people. Maybe having a small and large portion would have been a good call.
