If you haven't been in El Teddy's, you've probably
walked by it and wondered what the hell was going on inside. The exterior
features "Teddy's" spelled out in funky mosaic tiles, some sort of
warped, arty canopy/awning overhanging the entrance and the Statue
of Liberty's crown sticking out of the roof. The shabby chic people
must love this crap. The interior is even more bizarre, decorated
like a Hop-A-Long Cassidy lunchbox, or Roy Rogers' fantasy of the
perfect children's room. Despite the bizarro 50's cowboy lounge kitsch,
the main room of the restaurant is comfortable and conducive to large
and small parties alike. El Teddy's is supposedly famous for their
margaritas. When the drinks are all people mention when talking about
a restaurant, it doesn't bode well for the food. Unfortunately, that
is the case with this joint's attempt at Tex Mex cuisine. Soggy. Dry.
Bland. Not adjectives you want associated with your food. Nor are
they things you want to be putting in your mouth. The saddest part
is that the portions are so small (compared with your typical Mexican
meal) that you don't even leave full of the soggy, dry, bland stuff.
We still stand by our credo that "Mexican food is supposed to be cheap,
good and filling." Plus, how hard is it, really, to make a good margarita?
