I love this taco... but I like to ask for it without onions, as I'm not a raw onion fan. Anyway, the pork is super tender and flavorful... corn tortillas are the way to go for this one. more…   [11 reviews]

The reason this cupcake is so good is because of the delicious cream cheese frosting. Hey Cupcake does not skimp on frosting, and that's why they get their cupcakes right. The carrot cake itself was very more…   [1 review]

This crepe is big and stuffed full of ooey-gooey ham and cheese. Think French burrito. The crêpe itself is thick enough to hold in all of the stuffing but tender enough to melt in your mouth with each more…   [4 reviews]

I couldn't agree more with the other reviews. These crepes get a 10 in my book. Great care is taken with each crepe. For example, the chicken in these crepes has been slow smoked for 10 hours, making more…   [3 reviews]

Been meaning to try this place all year and it did not disappoint. There's a lot of food here, but it's too good to save for leftovers. I had the Chinese BBQ Pork - thick pieces of meat and fresh more…   [3 reviews]

Similar to my other review of the Vanilla Dream, but very very chocolate-y. I don't usually go for choco, but I might like this even more than the vanilla. more…   [2 reviews]

This is one of my MOST favorite dishes in town. The first time I tried it, I had it three days in a row! However, the combination of flavors is the bomb! Genius. Try it with their queso and diablo sauce more…   [2 reviews]

The cone is mightier than the sword on South Congress Ave, especially if that cone comes stuffed with hot and crunchy chicken and avocado. A signature Hudson's on the Bend approach (check out this review: more…   [1 review]

Finally...an al Pastor taco where the meat is the star ingredient. The pork was savory and full of flavor. It was tender, and it had just the right blend of spicies. Paired with the pork, were chunks more…   [4 reviews]

To quote the immortal Selena, "Como una flor, con tanto amor...," there was little love unfortunately for the al Pastor taco from La Flor. First and foremost, the pork was shredded, and this presentation more…   [3 reviews]

This unassuming taco trailer with the the boastful name might pass you by if you are not looking for it. Located in a corner of a convenience store parking lot, El Primo's version of the taco al pastor more…   [5 reviews]

This might just be my new favorite dessert in town (and I'm not even a cake fan). How can you go wrong with ice cream, milk, and cake balls blended together? You can't. It gives you a wonderfully grainy more…   [1 review]

Totally agree with tastytouring! It was a surprise and a delight to reach the middle of this muffin and find cream cheese! And unlike most "coffee cake," this was not sickly sweet. It had the perfect more…   [2 reviews]

TastyTouring is so right on...I'd return to Taste No Evil Muffins any day for this toothsome breakfast treat. And frankly, the muffin bus is so cute, I'd go back just to hang out. I mean, c'mon folks...it's more…   [2 reviews]

I like the idea of this cake ball, but like Natanya, I felt that its execution was less than perfect. I think the owners improved upon the taste of the red food coloring, but I found the cake itself relatively more…   [2 reviews]

Spinach, mushrooms, pine nuts and goat cheese beautifully coalesce in this crispy, golden empanada. But seriously, folks, what puts this Argentine pocket over the top? The tangy-garlic aioli that Kristen more…   [1 review]

I think Chris' Slaw Dog is my favorite thing from his truck! I'm a slaw girl - what can I say? And this slaw is homemade, so it's super fresh and not too mayonnaise-y. The Slaw Dog combines a 100% all-beef more…   [1 review]

This is basically the same as Lulu B's chicken or pork based sandwiches, but this one substitues the meat with big avocado slices. And what can I say: it's STILL a heavenly sandwich! I didn't think you more…   [1 review]

This is big, fat donut with cream cheese icing covered in Heath bits. It is heavenly! What I love about Gourdough's is that that donuts are made to order, so they're served warm. You simply cannot beat more…   [1 review]
