    Dozen regular size pork tamales

    Someone had mentioned this place to me since I've been looking for some good tamales. I happened to travel to this area and decided to stop by and get a dozen. They have the regular size tamales and the large size tamales. I decided to try the regular size tamales. I asked the gentleman at the counter if the masa was flavorful and if there is a decent amount of pork in them and he said yes. I bought a dozen, got back home, and was very anxious to try one right away. I opened the foil and I noticed they didn't seem to be that moist. Then I picked one up to look at the filling and they were flat and skinny with very little filling. Are you kidding me? I couldn't believe it. What a major disappointment! I HATE wasting money and I HATE that this business puts out tamales that barely have any filling. They also lack flavor.

    Avoided due to anticipated problems with parking…read more Pearl is so filled with affected and editorial instagram locals in some sort of daily cosplay of care free affluence when in fact many are broke as hell. There are others mainly business class or tourists but they stay at Hotel Emma and definitely have money, or their employer's corporate card. Then there are the real carb eating customers who are there to actually consume goods. I finally had a free weekday to go to Pullnam now two years after they opened and loved my experience. Parking in the Pullman market was easy. It really is $0 with validation and for up to 2 hours. I was looking for ground flax, they only had whole. Looking for cinnamon infused honey, they did not have. Just weird shit like lavender infused. I enjoyed the elevated feel of the place, very transporting and nicely curated with so many spaces in and out doors to sit and people watch or just hang out with friends. Ate at Fife and Faro for a simple pizza and pomodoro pasta.

    I was so hyped to find out about this market and grocery store, and especially about all the food…read moreoptions. The store itself is very cute with different sections, seating areas, food vendors to select from, and connects to actual restaurants. The mediocre review is for the "Burgers by the Butcher" place towards the end of the store. The Wagyu burger sounded really good and had good reviews, but it was really dry and not very flavorful. Usually Wagyu is known to be juicy and moist, but this tasted nothing like that caliber. It was disappointing but at least not very pricy. Fries were okay but pretty chopped up and not the style I prefer. Some of the other places looked promising like the ice cream and cafe. The poke/ceviche also sounded good on paper but when we walked by (maybe around 1.5-2 hours before closing), the quality of the raw fish didn't look too great and was a little discolored so we passed. The store itself was very cute and had lots of nice and unique products.

Half of the market was closed off, but something new that popped up near the front of the store was a coffee/smoothie bar. We stopped in for a quick to go order of a coffee, pastry, and smoothie. I loved the fact that there is an option to make your own. I was able to choose my base, 2 fruit options, and a veggie. I chose - blueberry, strawberry, (comes with a banana), spinach, and almond milk. Perfect! Healthy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. There's also a gelato bar. Curious to see what's new when renovations are done!

Foods in the freezer has were half thawed, and the produce was full of mold and flies. Either close this mess to finish the construction, or wait out the day when HEB is inevitably sued for selling spoiled food that got someone sick. After 20 plus years of shopping here, I have had enough. I don't want to weigh my moldy strawberries. I don't want to struggle through a user hostile, miserably hot store where I am afraid to buy mílk because the refrigeration isn't working. Billionaire Butts? This is the worst CM in Texas and it is supposed to be your flagship store. Either RUN THE STORE OR CLOSE IT DOWN.
