Pittsburgh part 1 - Cuza Mil

So, just off the plane (Pittsburgh airport looks to be among the better for a pre-flight meal, by the way -- at least there's better than the reheated generic crap at Dulles, but that's another show), checked into the motel, and looking for a quick meal before setting up for the conference.

The bell captain (I couldn't find the concierge) said for a quick meal that their sports bar was a good bet (too smoky), or the McD's or Wendy's a block away.

I wasn't going to break my vow against generiburgers, but sandwiched between them, at 500 Liberty, is Cuza Mil, a mexican restaurant. There's a Jimmy Johns on that block too, but I've been warned off that.

I was initially hopeful, as the table salsa was fresh and loaded with garlic and cilantro, with hot chips, but the sopes ($7.95) were very disaapointing. One moderate-sized sope in each of three fillings: beef which tasted just like the Lawry's spice packet, chicken which tasted like pot pie, and reasonable chorizo. The sopes themselves were undercooked, with a flavor reminiscent of old hot-dog-stand tamales in paper wrappers. I wasn't hoping for much, but I was hoping for better than that.

The same address has two other restaurants on the 2nd and 3rd floors, one of them Mediterranean, sounding middle eastern. Perhaps?
