I'm no food critic - but I know what I like and what tastes good! Mike and I eat out enough to justify commenting on local (Colorado Springs) establishments, as well as other restaurants we may stumble across in the course of our adventures. We do have some favorites - but we love visiting new restaurants! For my reviews ... read on!

Uchenna's (in Old Colorado City)
Last Saturday, we ate at Uchenna's, which bills itself as Ethiopian and Mediterranean cuisine. We had the lamb stew - which was more like simple ground lamb in a spiced sauce. This was okay - but nothing I'd go back for. It was served with no utensils – you were to eat it with Ethiopian bread – which is a flat, non-leavened bread, grey and spongy. Not very tasty at all – in fact, kind of yech. You basically use the bread to pinch up a bit of the stew. Another person in our party had another traditional Ethiopian dish that was more like a gyro or pita sandwich. They said it was okay – but again, nothing special enough to draw us back for a return visit. Service was very slow – even just to get water or tea – but very friendly. All in all – I would not recommend Uchenna’s – unless you just want to experience Ethiopian cuisine!
