I really had to think long and hard on this one. It is always good to see a separate menu space for “Mom’s traditional chili”. Was it traditional? I think not…. Yes it looked the part but the taste was really different, almost like they ran out of normal chili powder and substituted something similar. I honestly couldn’t tell what the flavor was. I was thinking heavy cumin or some other type of chili. God and the chef only know. There was a good amount of meat and same for other veg and beans. I said yes to the cheese and onions… Would I try again? I guess I would to see if it is the same or different…and ask what this mysterious flavor is.
Overall Flavor – 6/10
Spice level – 9/10 (not great though)
Heat level – 8/10
IT factor – 9/10 (surely strange)
Value – 2/10 (small cup for $6 – should have just got the bowl for $7)
