July 28, 20241 yr I am. But $7 for a fucking quart of ice cream at the grocery store, not Amy’s, is ridiculous. My kids buy the $10 pints from Lick.

The Mi Tienda version used to be equivalent, but was way too salty the last two times I bought it. And by too salty, I mean inedible.
July 29, 20241 yr The Garcia's brand is the same price and a bit better. The Mi Tienda version used to be equivalent, but was way too salty the last two times I bought it. And by too salty, I mean inedible.The only gripe for those chips are that there are so many crumbs. Seems to be a lot of waste in the bottom of the bag. You’ve really got to be a regular in the “hey steel shank” cooking thread to be able to adequately utilize the entire bag.

July 29, 20241 yr They have replaced Julio's for me. Perfect thickness, not to salty and allow the flavor of whatever salsa you are using to shine.
July 29, 20241 yr They’ve had a buy El Patio salsa and get a bag of chips for free deal going for a few weeks. Might end tomorrow.

I did not think it was very hot. Less Spice than the Mi Tienda Arbol. It's got a decent consistency, and a decent flavor, IMO, but I won't be rebuying. The Arbol is crack in comparison.
July 30, 20241 yr I like the el patio salsa but wife can’t handle the medium. I’d grade it better than ok but I likely won’t rebuy unless in sale. The chips though are killer. For those out of range Tom Thumb now has the el patio chips but they’re on an endcap not in the chips aisle. Go buy some so they add them to the assortment. They are close to the chips at el Fenix with the little bubbles in them.
August 3, 20241 yr I can’t find el patio chips at the Leander HEB but I found this instead. I’ve become addicted to it.

August 6, 20241 yr @BurntOrange&White got his wittle fee fees hurt. I mean seriously, who sends neg reps for saying Julio’s chips and salsa suck. Because it does, and the msg is right there on the label. Have fun with your fake preservatives.

August 8, 20241 yr I mentioned this in the gardening thread but it’s worth re-posting. Many HEB stores, at least in Houston, offer fresh frozen peas and beans from a farm called Sides in Canton, Tx. Depending on what’s in season, their offerings might include green, butter or lima beans, purple hulls, black eyes, crowders and my absolute favorite, lady cream peas. These are found in a stand alone freezer in the produce section. Do yourself self a favor and pick some of these up. Edited August 8, 20241 yr by TonyTexas

August 14, 20241 yr There are many things that I don't miss about living in Texas since moving to another state, but H.E.B. will never be on that list. No other grocery chain comes even remotely close.
August 14, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, Native Horn said: SEVEN in a package? WTAF Agreed. But they's tasty and it doesn't stop me from buying them.

August 15, 20241 yr I just noticed they now have 9 inch store-made flour tortillas for burritos in the bakery.
