busy busy FAT bee

yea lotsa fooding lately...working all the time and not getting enough sleep doesn't help...

anywayz...now that the last 5-6 crazy days are over, i have tons to share


hmm so being from the valley (RGV that is, NOT the california valley from clueless -_-) those taco cravings hit me pretty hard sometimes...mexican food just isn't the same in austin unfortunately. BUT, fortunately, my former roommate Ha and I stumbled upon El Tacolote on North Lamar one night our freshman year. To this day i still find that when i get the craving for authentic mex food, i make the drive there despite the distance from campus. it's located just north of Rundberg and Lamar, across from a HEB. chances are if you've been to chinatown center, you've passed by it. besides delicious plates, esp one called "El Tacolote," the chicken enchiladas, burritos, flan, and salsa are fantabulous.

oh yea and they're open LATE at night....on a weekday to about 2 or 3am and on weekends til 4am...the cantina attached to it definitely adds a more authentic air to it as well as livens up the experience.



**so The Best Wurst experience didn't go so well unfortunately -_- we didn't realize it was a sunday and apparently most food stands aren't open....buttttt a taco bell run was in order instead...and i ate those el tacolote enchiladas as the guys were wolfing soft tacos and fire sauces down.

Here's my food album for yall to browse, there's some stuff i've been bakin, places i've eaten at, things i've eaten etc...
