    Guacamole and Chips, California Quesidallas, Brunch Flight
    Jorge A.

    I haven't been here since the remodel but they have always had good food. They did not disappoint this time around. The atmosphere is different from before but the brunch was a good time. Definitely suggest the quesidallas and masa pancakes.

    Chicken Crisp

    I got a chicken crisp, and it was really good and filling. They offer a lot of options for what can go on the crisp also. A crisp is basically a thick chip that they put all the toppings on. Kind of eaten like a pizza. We sat outside and it was really cute and lively. The lights in the area added a nice ambiance (it was night). Great vibe. The service was kind of slow though. I'd recommend!

    They're open for brunch and they have the cutest little outdoor seating in little Greenhouse Igloo type things. I love that they have amora coffee now. Good vegetarian options and the candy jalapenos are great. Our waiter Elijah was super nice and attentive!

    One of the cutest restaurants with outdoor seating in the C/U area! My roommates and I came to celebrate the end of the school year. The atmosphere outside so was fun - especially with beautiful weather on the weekends when it's hustling and bustling! We ordered the Cowboy Nachos, the fish tacos, and the Tangy Avocado Salad. The food itself was mediocre - nothing special. The nachos were pretty good but by the time we received the dish, half the cheese had already solidified. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of eating just regular cheese - especially on my nachos. Points docked on that for sure. The fish tacos were kinda bland. My salad was pretty good - the veggies were all very fresh! The service was also just okay. To be fair, it was really packed when we went so I can totally understand. Overall, I would recommend only for a celebratory dinner if you're hoping to dine outside.

    Cod tacos, perfect combo of tender and crisp!

    This is a review of their dinner service on a busy Saturday evening. We came here wanting a small bite at an affordable price. After looking at the menu, we decided to give it a try, after all, their outdoor seating is probably the most scenic out of the downtown area. You are between restaurants in an allay and not looking at a busy road. I got the cod tacos, they were great! Perfectly tender and crispy outside with a delicious creamy sauce. The price tag was also quite attractive! Next time, I will try the shrimp tacos as those also looked amazing. The service was okay, not the most attentive, but friendly.

    Nachos and quesadilla

    I went to Cowboy Monkey on Sunday for trivia night. I had heard that seating is crowded, so my friends and I got there at 6. It wasn't that crowded that night, so we had to linger around until trivia started at 7:30. Trivia "starts" at 7 and begins at 7:30 when Big Dave explains the instructions and hands out the answer sheets. My suggestion would be getting there around 6:30 or 6:45 because Trivia lasts until 10 and 3 hours is a long time to sit at one restaurant. The rounds are weighted from very easy to impossible. Some of the general knowledge trivia is so random. There is no way you can really study for trivia. The prizes are a $10 gift card for each round won, and finally a $60 for winning the whole thing. The special on Sundays is $5 nachos. The combination of guac, salsa, and cheese was pleasing to the taste buds. However, the chips tasted a little old and the cheese outweighed the other ingredients, masking the other flavors. The nachos are originally $10, which in my opinion, is way too much. I also had the quesadilla, which was a tri-cheese quesadilla. It tasted like a quesadilla you could make at home, nothing special. We also had the sopapilla which was fried dough topped with honey, chocolate, ice cream, and brown sugar. I would recommend sharing it with friends because it was pricey and it was a big portion. The service was good that night because the waitress kept coming back to fill our waters and ask us how we were doing. Cowboy Monkey is very good about accommodating larger groups; they pull small tables together to make a large one.

    Went in, sat down and waited 25 minutes with no one acknowledging our presence. We left and went somewhere that appreciates our business.

    The bartender, Elijah, makes the best Bloody Mary I have ever had and that is by a longshot.
