Chain eatery full of south-of-the-border flavor - The Columbus Dispatch, By Jon Christensen, 31 March 2005; In the nine years since it hit the Columbus market, Cozymel’s has undergone many changes. One of its sister operations and neighbors — Grady’s — has closed, and Cozymel’s and nearby Romano’s no longer share the same corporate parent. The Tuttle-area Cozymel’s is one of only 14 nationwide, now that the company is an independent entity. Although the menu shows a lot of continuity, some of the new dishes have upped the ante for corporate Mexican. There’s no mystery about the freshness of the newly reconfigured guacamole ($7.99): It’s made at your table, starting with not one but two whole avocados, which are scooped into a plastic replica of a mortar. Then seasonings — onion, salt, cilantro, orange and lime — are added and cut into the avocados. There’s no arguing with the result, which can be enlivened further with a dollop of the fresh and well-seasoned house salsa. What if you took pork loin and braised it overnight in lemon juice, pepper and other seasonings? The result would be like Cozymel’s new pork rostitado ($11.99), a huge serving of fork-tender meat. If it’s not spicy enough, there’s a side of boldly pungent, tomatillo-based green salsa. And, as with most entrees, it’s on a bed of saffron-colored rice layered with sauteed, herbed vegetables — principally zucchini and onion. If you prefer shorter cooking times on pork, try the 10-ounce chop, grilled and decorated with the green salsa (chuleta de puerco, $13.99). Also on the plate: a good pork tamale, full of corn flavor. - suggest change
