Torchy's Taco | Austin, Texas

For breakfast on February 4th, Tammy, Jenny, and I went to Torchy’s Tacos. I’ve heard so much about this place from Sissy but never had a chance to go.

Torchy's Taco | Austin, Texas | Menu

Their menu is pretty straightforward. Everything’s written on a chalkboard. I love it!

Torchy's Taco | Austin, Texas | Jalapeno Sausage Egg and Cheese

Jalapeno Sausage Egg and Cheese on a Flour Tortilla | $2

Torchy's Taco | Austin, Texas | The Democrat

The Democrat [shredded beef barbacoa topped with fresh avocado, queso fresco, cilantro, onions, & a wedge of lime] | $3.75

They stuff these babies so it’s definitely worth the money. I got my Democrat taco on a corn tortilla which we found out they’ll give you two of. If you order flour, you’ll only get one. Because of this, I was able to make two tacos.

I really want to go here again and again. Thank goodness they have so many locations!

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas

On February 3rd, Jenny and I went to Austin since I couldn’t go home for Chinese New Year due to the weather. We stayed at Tammy’s place and went to dinner at Austin BBgo. There was no one there when we walked in and only saw one other couple the time we were there. We soon found out why …

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Side Dishes

Korean Side Dishes

Korean restaurants usually come and ask if we wanted to refill our side dishes, but this place didn’t do that and we were too shy to ask. That gets an “x” in my book.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Galbi

Galbi | ~$16

The amount they gave me is not worth what I paid. It was good but not as good as back in Houston so to me, not worth it at all.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Bibimbap

Bibimbap

Tammy said her Bibimbap was pretty good.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Bulgogi

Bulgogi |~$12

Jenny’s was a different story. The meat was tough and it had no taste. Not sure what happened there. We all tried it and all agreed it was the worst thing ever.

Although we were all able to get seconds out of all these dishes, Jenny’s was the worst. When she ate her leftovers, I can hear her sobbing internally.

I’m a big fan of Korean food but I’ll never come here again. It was not worth my money.

Yogurt Zone | San Antonio, Texas

Eric and I weren’t done catching up after 46th St. Pizzeria so we headed next door for dessert Yogurt Zone.

Yogurt Zone | San Antonio, Texas

The price was by weight, so the heavier it is, the more it costs. You can put as much as you want.

Yogurt Zone | San Antonio, Texas | Cake Batter & Strawberry Sensation

Cake Batter & Strawberry Sensation [with Rainbow Mochi, Strawberries, Blueberries, M&Ms, Mini Peanut Butter Cups, and Dark Chocolate Chips]

I believe mine came out to be about two to three dollars. I don’t go crazy for the froyo. I’m more of a topping person. Ever since then I’ve come back here once and I must say, much better than Orange Cup.

46th St. Pizzeria | San Antonio, Texas

On January 28th Eric and I went to 46th Street Pizzeria to catch up.

Spaghetti with Meatballs [Dinner plate] | $7.25

We both ordered the same thing. The picture doesn’t show just how much we were given since the dish sinks down.

46th St. Pizzeria| San Antonio, Texas | Bread

Bread | free

I dipped my bread into my spaghetti sauce since there is also way more sauce than it looks. The bread was a little on the hard side but I think that’s how it’s supposed to be.

I would go here again since the price is pretty good for college students. They also have cannolis which are on my list of things to try – next time.

Happy Chinese New Year!

by Leave a Comment

I was going to go home and visit my family but the roads might be icy and snow might fall. Since we live in a hot zone, I’m told not to drive on the road. Therefore, I have to stay put where I am all alone. It’s the first year not being home for Chinese New Year.

So if we think about it, I didn’t break my new year resolution? Maybe? Just kidding.
