Fuzzy’s taco shop in Arlington Texas. The original beef nachos consisted of Fresh tortilla chips topped with special shredded beef, shredded cheese, queso, pico de gallo, feta and garlic sauce. These nachos were great. It was a large potion and tasted great. I like the flavor of the shredded beef and the feta cheese (which at first I thought was odd but I liked) The pico de gallo was fresh and paired well with the garlic sauce. I would recommend these nachos to anyone. Rated 4 outta 5-D
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop in Arlington, Texas is one of my favorite places to go to eat. Delicious food at great prices! Their beef nachos are an awesome, flavor explosion to get things started. As D above stated all the ingredients, and the feta cheese on it was perfection. The meat had great flavor (as usual) and everything combined just seemed to melt in your mouth! Definitely a new favorite. 4.5 outta 5 -A

Lone Star Amber Bock. This Texas based beer company is called the National Beer of Texas. The Bock was very smooth and refreshing. It had a nice medium amber color to it and it tasted good. It did taste lighter in flavor than many other bock style beers. It has sweet malt smell and it had a sweet taste, kind of like a slight sweet maple syrup and pecan taste. When poured it has a smaller head One good point is the price, It was a lot cheaper than other Texas bocks. Rated 4 out of 5.-D

Lone Star Bock Beer. This seasonal beer is only around for the short winter months. I really didn’t understand all the harsh reviews on it from others, the price was a bit high for Lone Star itself, a good deal compared to other Texas bocks, but I thought it had an interesting taste to it. It was light and smooth in taste and it also had a delightful sweet caramel/pecan type aftertaste. Sweet aroma. I may just be biased because I love Lone Star, but let us know what you think?! It seems to be about 50/50, either you love it or hate it. Rated 4.1 outta 5. -A

D.L. Jardines Mesquite BBQ Sauce. This sauce was delicious, especially with chicken! Had such a nice flavor profile with the pepper and the mesquite flavoring. This is the first of the Jardines BBQ sauce that I have tried; all of their other products such as, salsas, and Texas Champagne hot sauce and they are delicious! This sauce didn’t disappoint. Had a distinct smoke flavor that is sure to impress. Give it a try sometime if you haven’t and tell us what you think! Rated 4.7 outta 5. -A

Blue Bell Ice Cream Banana Pudding. I loved this ice cream. It tasted like the best banana pudding I have had; only it was ice cream. It had a great banana flavor. It was creamy and smooth. You can taste the whipped cream mixed in with the banana flavored ice cream and big chunks of vanilla wafers. It instantly became one of my favorite flavors from Blue Bell. I still have not found a flavor I didn’t like and Im sure I won’t. No wonder Blue Bell is Texas’ favorite ice cream. Rated 5 outta 5-D

HEB Pecan Pie. This Texas based store’s name brand Pecan Pie was excellent. One of the best pecan pies I have had in a long time. Tasty roasted pecan covered the great sweet filling .The filling had a slight vanilla and a creamy brown sugar taste. It was sweet but not too overpowering. It didn’t have a preservative after taste. It had a nice crust and is sure to be a family favorite. If you find yourself in a HEB give this pecan pie a try. Rated 4.9 outta 5-D
HEB Pecan Pie. We decided to take a little shortcut this holiday and try an HEB Pecan Pie that they had on display while shopping for a ham. Why not? HEB always has great stuff. Their Pecan Pie tasted awesome and it really had a homemade taste. It was actually one of the best Pecan Pies I have ever had homemade and store bought. Super creamy/sweet filling and the roasted pecans on top were nice and sugary. Definitely going to be a go to pie! Give it a try, its great! Rated 4.8 outta 5 -A

Leo’s Original Italian Salad Dressing out of Beaumont, TX. This GO Texan product is 100% certified organic and the Italian dressing was some of the best dressing that has ever graced my taste buds! I literally could drink this stuff out of the bottle it’s so good (Okay, I admit, I DID drink a few sips straight out of the bottle). All the spices meshed very well together and the Romano and Parmesan cheese were detectable in every mouthful. This dressing went fast in our household making salads and I can’t wait to try it with pasta salad or a marinade for chicken. Leo’s Original Italian Dressing is hands down the best Italian dressing I have ever had. Rich in texture and taste, bold with a pinch of tartness. I can’t wait to get my hands on their other dressings! Rated 5 out of 5 folks! –A
They started making salad dressings for over 20 years out of their restaurant the Quality CafĂ©( est. 1930). This review is on the Italian dressing. First off this is the best Italian dressing I Have ever had. You can taste each individual spice and they all come together for a great taste. I really like the Romano cheese and Parmesan taste. The salad uses all organic ingredients. This dressing was great on a salad but I would use it with pasta and on sandwiches. It is also good enough to be used by Jason’s deli. Can’t wait to try their other salad dressings. Rated 5 out of 5.-D
