Had some folks over last week for brunch and had the El Gallo red sauce (not the habanero) and the Yellow Bird habanero sauce for breakfast tacos.   Using the two together with the eggs, potatoes, sausage, and bacon on hot flour/corn tortillas was absolute dynamite.  as always.

We got a batch of TD Doña this week and it was oily and a dark green color. Trashed it immediately.

not HEB related but this is the only thread showing active doña talk…

has anyone gotten the doña from whole foods lately?  they changed the recipe and it is a huge step down.  is anyone else dealing with the fallout from this?

Why the hell do you think I added potatoes!?!? (other than the fact that breakfast tacos without potatoes suck ass) 

Ive settled on eggs, potatoes, chorizo, cheese....add pico/cheese/hot sauce + avacado if I have one laying around.  But the diced potatoes are mandatory. 

Hot sauce is usually this stuff, which is about 40% cheaper at HEB than it is on the O brothers website.....good shit.

Yeah, its shit, but as previous posted noted, it seems to be a 3rd party issue with whomever is mass producing it. Every batch is different it seems.

up until a few months ago the shit at whole foods was identical to restaurant doña; I literally could not tell the difference, at all.  then the packaging changed and the recipe changed and everything has gone to shit.  I’m not in texas so whole foods is my only doña dealer.  I want to email tacodeli corporate and complain.

When the HEB bakery tortillas first came I thought they were great. Could not get enough. It seems that lately they just do not seem to have any flavor or taste. Anyone notice this?

Yeah. I’ve reverted to the refrigerated ready to cook tortillas. Just as good, cheaper and better shelf life. You have to cook the bakery tortillas anyway.

Haven’t seem the Keto at all anymore. The regular have been honestly bad recently. Tried the butter flavored and they were better, but something has changed.

Slight mystery at HEB this morning. Just saw this new sign over near where they sell pre-made salads and soups.

Looked around a bit and didn't actually see any of these sandwiches anywhere. Checked HEB website and not finding anything that matches. There's an HEB across the street from my office so this would certainly be a welcome development for weekday lunches.

They definitely aren't very good anymore. 2nd that I like getting the ones you cook yourself.

It’s dewberry season already? Well get to picking then but lookout for rattlers.

And fire ants.  And barbed wire.

Very interesting, googling HEB and "craft sandwiches" yields zero results.

 

But $10 for a grocery store sammy?

And the thorns on dewberry plants are nasty as hell.

 

Also we are still weeks away from dewberry season. Hell mine are just now coming out of dormancy.

I'm going to try to get some established along my back fence this spring.  They come up down by the creek where I usually mow over them.

Have I been doing this wrong all my life?  How cooked are we talking?  I always put my tortillas (any brand) in the toaster, but only for about 8-10 seconds

They grow like weeds around here. I'm constantly fighting to keep them from taking over everything.

 

Not a bad problem for a fruit bearing plant.

All depends on the size/quality IMO. Their regular ol' sliced bread sandwiches are typically $5-7 and nothing to write home about. If they can make a legit Italian sub or Cuban sandwich on good bread for $9.50, I'll buy occasionally.

Right, where are you going for a quick sandwich that is quality for less than $10 these days? And I said quality, so don’t @ me with Subway 

Plus you’re already in the pre-made section, so you can grab a better side than just a bag of chips. Such as their kale salads or potato salad or whatever

Premade yes, from the restaurant- No

I didn't realize it was a small chain.  Apparently they sold (sell?) them at Antone's Night Club, too.

I was drunk and starving when I bought one from the grab-and-go places under the stands at DKR a couple years ago.  Ragrats.

Saw a display with model sandwiches in it on Sunday evening, didn't investigate further. 

When HEB had a prepared deli case (before the meal simple takeover) the Bunker Hill one sold jamon serrano sandwiches for $4. Rip.
