    Another Saturday, and the quest for delicious tacos and breakfast is again joined! Today, Marjan and I visited El Guacamole on Huebner, west of the Medical Center. The restaurant is found on a strip center, with parking fronting the establishment, with drive thru left of the entry as one might prefer. This is the third location for El Guacamole, this location open for some 6 months and counting. Entering, the restaurant is newly finished, neat, clean, featuring their grade of "A"/94 award, just left of the checkout counter. There are perhaps 12 tables centrally, with 6 bright orange booths along the right wall. We were warmly greeted, and we chose seating at booth. First order: coffee! Marjan was covetous of the unique cups brimming with pretty delicious coffee, a brand we had not known of: DeCoty, based in San Angelo, roasting their own beans and with distribution in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. We are not fond of weak, watery coffee, so this cup of java hit the spot (as one previous reviewer also noted.) Marjan chose their iteration of Huevos Rancheros, this with over easy eggs, sliced potatoes and refried beans. The potatoes were well spiced, well cooked. The eggs were, well eggs, but in Marjan's opinion, the dish is hit or miss considering the ranchero sauce. This eaterie's sauce is more of a gentle puree, well seasoned...she considered this dish a hit! I chose tacos: chicken fajita and carne guisada, both on flour tortillas, both generously filled with the desired protein. The chicken was juicy and moist, well seasoned. We considered this one of the top three we had found in our quest for the best taco. But friends, the next taco, the carne guisada truly was the best we had found so far. Tender beef, but the sauce, the sauce was really to die for: well seasoned, with just a bit of spicy heat, the flavors just working to make this taco quite the winner. We sampled both flour and corn tortillas, finding their iterations of the staple enjoyable. I am fond of another dish: menudo. This restaurant offers menudo throughout the week, unlike most others offering only on weekends. I definitely plan a return for a bowl of this favored dish! We definitely recommend El Guacamole, with Marjan rating 5 origami boots. Enjoy yelpers, and please continue supporting local businesses!!

    I was hungry, the food was better than I expected. They failed to add the chips and salsa that I ordered in my Togo bag.

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake!

We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift.

We waited by the Pullman Market porch area for our tasting and they came out with mini frozen hibiscus drinks. I expected sweet, but only had tart flavors that stimulated my palette. Finally, me and my friends were taken in to a private dark room with the seats surrounding the kitchen where the magic was about to happen. The 8 course comes with 4 different flavor profiles and 1 alcoholic drink per flavor type. The most memorable profile was umami with the jerk chicken and bitter with the banana and chocolate. These two topped off as my favorites. The chocolate with my banana was the best I had ever yet. The bowl had to be picked clean. The chefs walked us through each of the dishes and explaining the story behind as well as any questions we had. We all had a blast with the tasting and would come back again. Don't forget, you get a fortune cookie to take home!

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!
