As soon as I walked in, I saw so many goodies I knew I was taking home. They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area! Thank you so much for great service and products!

This review is about the Black Forrest Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears - I love gummy bears but I've…read morenever ever ever had a better gummy bear, these definitely are a different variety than what you might think of when you think of traditional gummy bears. These are the most tender flavorful gummy bears I've ever had bar none, they are so addicting, if you buy these or the gummy worms buy lots of them or regret it as soon as you pop the last one in your mouth. I recently attended an event where there were boxes of these sample size packages - everyone was hoarding them. I grabbed a few packages to enjoy later and then decided to open a pack to enjoy at the event. I didn't really think about them again until I got to my office and started unloading my pockets and began filling my desk drawer - I pulled up the news feed on my computer and grabbed a few package to snack on while watching - after about 15 minutes I decided to wrap things up and noticed quite a few empty packages on my desk, okay maybe a few more than quite a few, they are that good, like none other - I don't know exactly where I can buy these or order them online but I'll definitely figure it out...

Everything from menudo, to home made tamales, to tacos can be ordered in the back. If you enjoy real home cooked Mexican food this is the place for you. I started off with a simple but delicious bean taco. It sounds easy but there's an art to it and when I tried to ask how they made the beans the answer was simple "secret recipe." Then I moved to the main dish, menudo. What a joy that was, simmering and quite delicious and then I finished the meal with homemade tamales. Guys if you're looking for authentic Mexican food this is the spot for you. Ask for Lola when you walk in. Like I said think of this spot as a speak easy of food, hidden gem is in the back. You can also ask Lola about catering.
