| The arepa? YES. The churros? YES. That elote had me fighting for my life a little bit
So I was craving an arepa, and I came across OLLIN--O-L-L-I-N--and they happened to be running a cute little buy-one-get-one deal on DoorDash.
And y'all know I love me an arepa.
I'm simple with mine too. Give me a good cheese arepa and leave me alone.
I believe they have an al pastor one too, but I went with the cheese.
Oh. My. God.
DELICIOUS.
It was made perfectly. The cheese was melty and cheesy, the arepa had that little sweetness to it, and then you get the actual pieces of corn throughout it.
I loved every bit of that.
EVERY. BIT.
And because they were doing buy one, get one...
Baby, even better.
Then I tried their elote because I love me some elote.
Now...
This is where OLLIN caught me off guard.
That elote was SPICY.
And I'm cool with some spice. I don't mind a little kick. But I don't want something so spicy that I can't enjoy everything else I'm eating.
And this was almost there.
I ate some and then tried to move on to something else, and my mouth was still like, Girl, hold on. We're still processing what just happened.
I couldn't even fully taste my next bite because the spice was STILL SPICING.
So personally, I would have liked a little less heat on the elote. But flavor-wise? It was still good.
NOW.
Let's talk about these churros.
Because one thing about me...
I LOVE ME A CHURRO.
But I need my sauces.
Condensed milk. Dulce de leche. Chocolate. GIVE ME SOMETHING.
I cannot just have a dry churro.
That's not what we're gonna do.
The churros were also buy one, get one free, so of course I got them. And even though they forgot my condensed milk sauce...
I'm gonna let them live.
Because the churros themselves were DELICIOUS.
Warm.
Crunchy.
And that cinnamon-to-sugar ratio?
EVERYTHING.
They were so good that I still enjoyed them without my sauce--and y'all know that's saying something coming from me.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed OLLIN.
Would I get that cheese arepa again?
ABSOLUTELY.
Would I get those churros again?
YES--and hopefully y'all remember my condensed milk next time.
Would I get the elote again?
Maybe, but I need somebody to take it down a notch for me because baby... I would like to taste the rest of my food afterward.
But overall, I recommend them. The arepa alone is enough to have me coming back. read more
