The Curra's avocado frozen margaritas slam hard in the paint.  I usually like a very minimalist rocks marg with fresh lime juice and little else.  But @dcbc, get you an avocado frozen.  

Same M.O. if I'm drinking a margarita, but I will give that a try for sure.

probably in the minority but i don't like the avocado marg at all, and i like both avocados and margs. 

I don't like the avocado marg either, and I'll never order it again.   It was definitely green,  but there was zero avocado flavor.

Question... have not eaten at El Arroyo in 20 years.  Does it suck at everything they do?  Even breakfast, tacos or breakfast items? Like how bad is it??

The last time I ate there was 2022 on the way back from ACL. We were drunk and starving and it was convenient. It was also awful.

El Arroyo used to be along my commute so occasionally I'd grab breakfast tacos from their little truck/stand out front.  Only good for sustenance. 

I know we all look fondly upon the places we ate in college and overrate them to an extent, because of both nostalgia and naivety, but El Arroyo has sucked for decades now.  I could swear it was awesome in the early 90's, but have very little confidence in myself to be right on that.

I don't think I've ever had anything good there.  We used to go to the outlet up off Far West every once in a while because we could feed the 6 of us for about $30 on 2-for-1 enchilada night, but their food was mediocre at their best.

Curra's was solid and the avocado frozen margs were really good.  But I definitely got a strange look from the group when I recommended them.  But no one was disappointed, and we polished off a pitcher of them.

Been working out at Crunch on William Cannon which is right next to Flores.  What's that place like?

Pretty solid Tex-Mex.  The family has been doing for a long time.  Several stores now.

Yeah, I've been there at least once, although we may have just gone to the bar for a drink and some apps.  It seemed pretty okie-dokie.

It's like a better version of Taco Cabana basically. It's not going to win any awards but I'm a fan. I like the drive thru.

We used to go to that one a ton when my kids were playground age. My wife used to like their mexi marts but according to her they went downhill and we haven’t been back since.
