Sweet CeCe's will make you say, "Oh, how sweet it is!"

I am not normally one to go out for frozen yogurt (one does not cultivate the moniker of "Fat Girl" eating fat free ice cream substitutes!), but when the 2nd branch of the local chain Sweet CeCe's opened up right around the corner, my Partner in Dine & I decided to pay them a visit.
We were not disappointed!
I normally don't go in for non-fat, but these frozen treats are as creamy & delightful as any ice cream and the selection of serve yourself toppings has no match.  Fresh fruit, crushed cookies, chunks of real cheesecake, cereals, chocolate covered espresso beans, the list goes on & on.  And while a lot of these toppings may be in direct conflict with eating a fat-free dessert, a couple of chocolate chips here and there never killed anyone.  And if you're like me you may end up with more toppings in your cup than actual yogurt!  Now be aware that they charge by the ounce, so going the "let's try a little bit of everything" route can get a bit pricey, but it's very easy to get an affordable lo-fat treat if you don't go berzerk. (says one who speaks from experience!)  It's a great place to take the kids because they get to pour their own yogurt (if they're tall enough to reach the handles) and load up their own toppings, there's nothing kids like better than getting to be a big girl or boy and do it themselves.
Always neat and clean no matter how many people are jostling for frozen delights, the staff is always friendly and they always have the cutest seasonal displays.  They even have a rewards card where you can work your way to free frozen yogurt with enough punches.

Don't call it a comeback!

As of St. Patrick's Day, Mas Tacos is back in business for the season and today was the first day that I could catch up to them for lunch.  Over the winter Theresa has made some obvious improvements to the "Tacobego" and the food is even better than I remembered!

Is that even possible?!!?!

The menu is more or less the same, with old favorites and variations on them.  She was offering cantaloupe agua fresca (as opposed to the old standard, watermelon, which is delightful & refreshing) today but ran out 2 people ahead of me, I'll have to get there sooner next time! (and let that be a lesson to the rest of ya'!)  I don't know whether a long winter of taco longing made everything taste that much better or if she spent the cold season in her taco labs refining and creating even more delicious taco treats, but if you didn't get around to trying Mas Tacos last year, don't let another day slip by without stopping by!
Gracias, indeed!
