My new favorite coffee place when I visit my brother! We were on the hunt for a local coffee shop,…read moreand using Yelp, we found this one in the downtown part of Collierville. Very small town coffee shop vibes with many tables inside and outside and tons of families and friends gathering together. I loved the area it was in, so it made perfect sense as to why this coffee shop was there. I went on a Saturday morning, and it was packed full of people. Only two people working, so it did take a minute to place my order and get my drink. But, there were places to sit and things to look at while I waited. They didn't take your name to write on the cup, so it was a bit confusing as they were calling out order, especially when someone else had your same drink. I always like to try a special when I am trying out a new place, so I decided to get the Honey tiramisu coffee. It was absolutely delicious! I drank it so fast. I loved it so much that I wanted to go back on Sunday. Without checking the hours, we drove there and they were closed. Oh well, but I will definitely be going back next time I'm in town!

The menu is stripped down, the gelato bar was off, no napkins, and 'dark'. We ordered two drinks - cappuccino and something strawberry. Cappuccino was more of a latte but taste was ok. Strawberry drink was less impressive. I'll check it out one more time hoping what I sensed was just the weather or something else.

You add in a muffin, a scone, and a cinnanin twist (all of which are tiny) and you're looking down at a bill of $37! That is crazy. Is it good? Yeah. Definitely. It's a very nice, cozy, local joint. We like it here. A lot. But we ain't coming more than once a year at these prices. I recommend you try the place as long as you understand what you're getting into from a price standpoint. But the drinks and pasties are good.

This review is for the fish taco only. I will try the tamales next time…read more So I know ... who goes to the "tamale" trolley and skips the tamales? Someone wanting to find a good fish taco in Memphis, that's who. Despite my efforts, I have never found that to die for fish taco in Memphis, and that's been disappointing for me. I'm sure it's out there, and I'll keep trying. But in the tamale trolley, I found a great addition to the spontaneous food scene in Memphis. The taco was a nice combination of flavors. Hot (as in out of the frying oil) tilapia filets. Cool and crisp cabbage and onion. Tangy lime wedges. Spicy chili sauce. Double tortillas. Mix these together, and it was a tasty treat. But why was it tasty? Really, the fact the fish was hot and the cabbage was cold and the sauce was spicy and the lime added the acidic touch ... that's why. Too many times I order a fish taco and the fish is cold (or lukewarm) or the cabbage is warm or there is some thick sauce that destroys the ability to enjoy the flavors of anything else. At $5.00 a taco, the price was right (this was a big taco - see the photo I uploaded), and it's always refreshing to support a completely LOCAL food vendor. I now follow the tamale trolley on twitter, @tamaletrolley ... I hope they will park downtown for lunch to allow me to eat two fish tacos mid day. I also keep a lookout for their brightly colored food truck as I drive around town. I recommend you do so as well. Four stars for the fish taco.

Recently had the chance to check out some of Memphis' new food trucks. A food truck rodeo was held…read morein the Broad Ave Arts district. Although many trucks were expected to attend, only a few actually showed up. Thus, lines were long, and the trucks present quickly ran out of food. I had the chance to try out the Tamale Trolley, by the time I was able to place my order they had run out of tamales. So I went with their next specialty on the menu, the fish taco (and steak taco). Now I can understand the rush, and not being prepared for such a large crowd. I must say I was disappointed with what I ended up with. I started with the steak taco, it had plenty of meat, but it just did not seem to be seasoned at all. The cilantro lime sour cream dressing, needed more cilantro and lime flavor. I ended up eating the taco with only one of the two tortillas provided, the meat to tortilla ratio with just one was plenty enough. I probably would have enjoyed it more if they had not used store bought tortillas, or so it seemed and tasted. I was happy that the fish taco that I had a little more love to it in its preparation. A nice piece of fish, fresh out of the fryer and hot. That made up for the mediocre steak taco, but again, ate it with one tortilla. Some suggestions that would make it better, some lime wedges to be served with the tacos, and a house made sauce to add a little heat. Drinks more exciting than water and coke. Only three stars mainly because of the fish taco. I'll try them out again to try their tamales, but not sure how excited I should be if they're served after being reheated in their microwave.

Probably number of toppings wise you're looking at a pretty even match I'm but it's the quality of the toppings where Menchie's really pulls away. The toppings are good quality and in good shape. What I mean by that is they are fresh and not stale. He'll, I watched one of the girls working there go get a tray of fresh strawberries from the back and come out front and start slicing them for toppings. No mass produced delivered in a #10 can packed in gross sugary syrup strawberries. No sir or ma'am these were fresh and sliced right before my eyes. Almost makes me wish I had gotten some instead of cookie dough balls. It was relatively quiet in here on a Saturday afternoon. Everything is kind of a variation on green and pink color scheme wise I felt like I was in Elphaba's and Glinda's (the "Ga" is silent) room at Hotwa---- errr I mean Shiz.

The staff was friendly, the store was clean, and the ice cream was just as good as I remembered. My go-to order is the Chocolate Devotion, and it never disappoints. The rich chocolate ice cream mixed with brownie pieces, chocolate chips, and fudge is hard to beat. Watching them mix everything together on the cold stone is always part of the experience.

The quality is consistently good, the portions are generous, and every bite is packed with flavor.
