I've been a connoisseur of ice cream for the last 70 years. And sampled my way across the U.S. many…read moretimes. There are only a few things I look for in a good ice cream. One is flavor that shines through the cold and creamy dessert. Second is how sweet it is. Not too much so to where that's all that comes through. The last being, creamy consistency. So all in all, it's fairly simple. With this being said. Fielder's choice has been #1 for me, followed by Dairy corner in the # 2 slot. The only reason why, is that in my opinion, it's a bid too sweet for me. Otherwise it's pretty damn good over all. Today I happened to be driving by The Maine Scoop and decided to give it a shot. It's always nice to ad options when you are out and about. My wife went to the window to order for us. I wanted a coffee Oreo milkshake. She was going for the vanilla custard soft serve. A single cones worth. As soon as I had my treat in my hands. I gave a big long pull on the fat straw sticking out of the top. The first thing I noticed was a watery slurry followed by chunks of soggy Oreo. Then an extremely overpowering sickening sweet gush that took over all my senses that made my eyes snap shut in horror. My brain whirled in a panic trying to understand what just invaded my mouth. My God! I thought I was experiencing some sort of sugar coma onset. I quickly placed the cup in my holder and sat there bewildered for a few minutes. Until the wife looked at me asking, are you OK? I didn't want to sway her opinion so I just smiled and handed her the cup of disaster and said, give this a try. She enthusiastically took the cup and managed to get about a half of swig before she choked and shoved the cup away from her. Holding it at arms length she proclaimed, what in the world did they make you! We laughed for a moment until I realized I just paid $9 for this sugar slurry mess. I asked the wife to try her cone, I wanted or should say hoped that somehow my shake was some sort of mistake. It wasn't, sad to say. Her ice cream was also extremely sweet, but manageable. So, be warned, if you are anywhere near a possible diabetic. Avoid this place like a modern plague.

It was alright, but I probably wouldn't get it again. I do appreciate that they have simple syrup and honey syrup out so you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Food: Plenty of vegan options, and they even have vegan eggs available for a small upcharge. I got the habanero ham biscuit sandwich. The biscuit was flaky, with ham and cheese, and the habanero ham had a pretty good kick that really hit by the end! Good portion size and tasty. They also have donuts, smoothies, and plenty of other options, so there's something for everyone. Highly recommend!

For my portion I ordered the Combo #5 and side of Mexican rice. The combo #5 came with a chile rellano, burrito and enchilada. The flavor profile of all three items were very similar especially between the burrito and enchilada. Food itself was pretty bland except for the heavy cheese and enchilada sauce on everything. The Mexican rice was good but I wish it came with a side of some sour cream, pico or something as it was pretty one note and got a bit redundant. All in all, not the most exciting meal in the area.

I've eaten gas station sushi with more confidence than I had ordering at Tacos y Tequila…read more Set the scene, New Year's Eve, made a reservation a week in advance. Arrived and they genuinely seemed confused about what a reservation was. Took 5 mins to be sat in an EMPTY restaurant. Then took 10 mins for the waitress to bring water and ask for drinks. In an EMPTY restaurant. We started strong by ordering three items. A blood orange margarita, a skinny margarita and table side guac. They were out of two. One of them was the guacamole. Let me repeat that slowly: A Mexican restaurant. Out. Of. Guacamole. That's like a steakhouse being out of beef or Starbucks being out of coffee. Now I know what you're thinking, must have been at the end of the night right? 5pm. They literally just opened. Undeterred (mistake), we continued with ordering the margaritas. What arrived can only be described as a lime-adjacent science experiment. They were so bad that we didn't even bother ordering food -- we asked for the check and left. When margaritas make you reconsider sobriety, it's time to go. To make it even better, the poor teenage waitress was apparently left alone to figure out how to make margaritas on the fly, as if this was her final exam on "Intro to Bartending: Trial by Fire." None of this was her fault -- she was doing her best while the restaurant actively sabotaged her. In summary: * No guacamole * No menu items * No drinkable margaritas * Yes to chaos I came for tacos and tequila and left with a story, a bill, and the strong urge to apologize to Mexico. Would not return unless the goal is irony or performance art.
