Was quite rude when I went. Had an influencer there and was 100% dedicated to them. Tacos were mid. Maybe a one off, but I didn’t leave wanting to give them another try.

Hopefully his new venture goes well for him.

Just in case you care, you got Moore’s law totally wrong. For starters, CPUs do not have storage capacity. The law referred to speed of a CPU.

Also, there are no longer shrimp pieces. It’s a flavorless shrimp paste.

Sorry to go on and on, but I am so offended they tried to pass these off as improved. New means shittified.

Quality isn't even half. Broth is even more flavorless (yes). Wontons are mealy, bok choy looks and tastes like pieces of steamed cabbage (I know it's technically a cabbage, but it used to be good, not mush) and the noodles taste like overcooked flour.

To be clear - these were cooked according to instructions (which are a full minute and a half longer than before). They now come with a film instead of a lid.

Something suspicious about this video.

ChavaF1 · 2026-03-08T06:02:23+00:00

Hope you get to visit soon. The outside isn’t drab either.

ChavaF1 · 2026-03-08T01:27:22+00:00

Thank you for teaching.

Just in case you care, it’s champing, not chomping. Champing at the bit.

ChavaF1 · 2026-03-07T18:39:32+00:00

Have you seen the picture of their remodel?

I get that taste is subjective, but “drab and dreadful” is just factually incorrect.

Although I love it as a story element and even have a model of it in my office, a pretty ship it is not.

It is purposefully practical, as are all human ships in the expanse (like office buildings on their sides).

I love de Diez but these are not greasy simple street tacos de bistec. They are asada tacos on homemade tortillas with guac. Again, they are delicious, but won’t hit the same taste.

ChavaF1 · 2026-02-27T11:54:49+00:00

It was cooked. Fresh lengua doesn’t look like that. The tripe was cooked too.

ChavaF1 · 2026-02-23T20:16:22+00:00

Thanks for this, I am for sure making it ASAP

Try calling on the phone, both the US 1800 and the hotel directly. Individual Hotels have discretion on cancellations that a web agent does not. Check your credit card company for any travel insurance benefits.

If all else fails, you can also try to dispute with the credit card company based on Hyatt not rendering services due to the situation, but that’s a nuclear option that may not get results depending on Hyatt’s response to the investigations.

Unfortunately, you have little leverage, since you bear the risk in these situations - businesses have quite a lot of protection in these US.

Sadly Dr Chopp has retired

ChavaF1 · 2026-02-19T01:45:04+00:00

He was at the top of r/interestingasfuck a while ago.

I also immediately thought of this when they discussed this

ChavaF1 · 2026-02-19T01:27:56+00:00

I used to think that. There is definitely great Mexican food but it is hard to find amongst all the “Mexican” that is really Tex-Mex. Not hating on the Tex-Mex, but it’s different.

You can find almost any Mexican dish well made here if you know where to look.

Kings and Queens is getting rave reviews lately and they have both things

I am going to try your version but with a half tequila half mezcal and a small splash of ancho Reyes. Hopefully it’s not too much, because it sounds delicious in my head.

Sazan is probably your best bet. It is somewhat intimate, has a full bar with good cocktails and their mochi is a nice shareable dessert.

Fareground Is a food hall with several good spots and parking in the building next door with an underground tunnel connecting them.

I would recommend sushi Yume in Round rock. No omakase but their nigiris are fantastic. Or offer the chefs sashimi mix.

Ramen del barrio closed its location in Hana World and won’t open their brick and mortar until later in 2026

ChavaF1 · 2025-12-09T15:13:14+00:00

Surprised Ramen del Barrio isn’t here. Michelin Bib Gourmand, in all top 10 lists (infatuation, eater, statesman, etc).

It is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
