Blink and you'll miss this west midtown eatery, located in a nondiscript building on Howell Mill Road. My bud Becky and I headed there for lunch recently. The lunch menu was limited which for some might not be an issue. There are several interesting sandwich and salad selections that should appease every taste. Becky decided to go with the roasted cauliflower, chinese & thai eggplant, cilantro, spicy mayo sandwich and I decided on the roasted poblano & pimento cheese, bacon, fried green tomato sandwich with a spicy sauce and a small cup of the tomato bisque. The tomato bisque was strangely familiar (JCT Kitchen, anyone?). As for my sandwich, the pimento cheese was chunky and lumpy, not smoothly melted. The bacon had a strong smoked taste but the green tomato had a nice breading and the spicy sauce and poblano peppers added a much needed kick. Becky kept trying to identify a 'mystery' taste in her sandwich which I attributed to the abundant cilantro. For dessert we opted for the chocolate pudding, which we found out is baked into a mini mason jar. It's topped with tart whipped cream and layered between bannans. We had peanut cookie crisps on the side. I never have anything bad to say about chocolate and must say this was the highlight of our meal. Close in proximity and cusine to JCT Kitchen, Bocado needs to really seek to differentiate itself. For now its a ho, hum option for those seeking a new lunch spot.
