I actually live in California but wanted to deliver some sweet goodies to my friend in Issaquah…read more So I googled Issaquah bakeries and found Taste of Amazing. I read that she uses fresh, wholesome ingredients.. something I appreciate. So I contacted Gail for a custom order of 1/2 dozen assorted cookies and 1/2 dozen cupcakes. I just asked for just an assortment of what she had fresh that day. I believe the cupcake flavors were chocolate with cake batter frosting, chocolate peanut butter, coconut and possibly lemon or red velvet. As for the cookies, my friend got chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and peanut butter. Gail was so easy to work with through emails. And when she delivered the goodies, my friend wasn't home, but Gail called me for instructions and I gave her the okay to set it on the porch. She even took a picture for me to show that it was delivered. Couldn't really try the cupcakes and cookies, but my friend loved them! She said they really delicious, fresh and moist. I definitely recommend Taste of Amazing!

The ordering process was easy. I emailed her, told her I was thinking pork tenderloin, gave her my "dealbreakers" and she went to work. The pie and cupcakes were impulse buys, but I am glad that I did! She delivered the food items on Wednesday, and we ate the cupcakes on Friday. They were still moist and delicious. Not too much frosting, so that you could get a good bite with all of the flavors. The pie was essentially for my dad. He loves apple desserts. This pie was crumbly, and the apples still had bite. Plenty of cinnamon (he was concerned) and the sauce was sweet. I totally loved that Gail put the directions right on the package. There was no way I could mess this up! She was a total lifesaver, and I am so pleased that I decided to give her a try. I gave my parents a gift certificate for Christmas, so hopefully they get a chance to try out some more of her entrees. I'll be keeping her on speed dial when I need a little "assistance" in the kitchen!

Chef Michael then organize the menu with my son and his fiancé. Chef Michael showed up and started his prep, he was very professional and approachable. His organization in the kitchen was amazing. We had 10 adults and three grandchildren at the tables. Chef Michael treated the kids with respect and described each dish as it came out. We had five appetizers, a couple salads, and the main with two sides. Everything was exceptional, we are still talking about it. We will remember this meal forever. Chef Michael packed up leftovers, and clean the kitchen immaculately. We couldn't be any happier with the service and the food that we received. The grandkids favorite course was the grilled octopus, amazing! We would definitely recommend and would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Laura and Chef Michael

Chef Laura catered our small, family-style wedding brunch at a private residence…read more From start to finish the process was easy and efficient. The menu selection/communication beforehand was great and I made last minute changes to plans that were easily accommodated.

I'd recommend Honest to Goodness and Chef Laura to anyone.

Food-wise, it was mostly unsatisfying: Garlic naan (6/10): Pretty average and very oily. Paneer tikka masala (0/10): Definitely would not recommend. Very oily, watery, and barely any paneer in the dish. Aloo tikki chaat (5/10): Mediocre. Greasy and mostly just potato, not much else. Dal chicken makhani (7/10): The highlight of the meal. Good flavor and the only dish I actually enjoyed. It was overpriced for the quality which didn't simply justify it. It tasted more like reheated grocery store Indian food than something freshly made. Definitely would not recommend.

There is also Costco, Uniqlo, and target nearby if you need to run errands. Family run and the tacos are 5+ each but come with two tortillas because of the amount of filling. I would still give it a 5/5 even though some of the meat options are a bit on the drier side for my pet fence because the poblano one is so good. The zucchini corn one had nice smokiness. This is coming from someone who prefers meat usually. The steak was good. The chicharron is good but if you are expecting crunchy this is not. It's cooked in a nice sauce that is spicy but not too much though my spice tolerance is not low. 3 is good for one person. 4 if super hungry. Great option after any of the local hikes.

My friend and I went to Xochi for the first time for lunch today on one of the last sunny Seattle…read moreafternoons. We came at around noon when they opened and they already had several people waiting on benches outside the truck for their orders. Xochi is a food truck in Gilman Village (Old Issaquah), located near the Brown Bear car wash. It's been on my bucket list for a while as it was listed as in the top Yelp 100 taco places nationally in 2022 and 2023 and also featured in the Seattle Times a few years back. Xochi offers five different meat taco options: - Encebollados (steak & sauteed onions) - Tinga (chicken in a chipotle sauce) - Cochinita Pibil (pork in an achiote sauce) - Chorizo (pork sausage & potatoes) - Chicharron (pork rinds in a spicy tomato sauce) They also serve five different veggie taco options: - Calabazas (zucchini, corn & tomato) - Papas (potatoes) - Broccoli (broccoli & garlic) - Bruselas (brussel sprouts, carrots, & garlic) - Rajas (poblano peppers in a sour cream sauce) My coworker and I tried the ENCEBOLLADOS, TINGA, & COCHINITA PIBIL. She also ordered a CHICHARRON, but I'm not a big fan of pork rinds or fried food and so I passed on that one. Each taco (regardless of meat or veggie) is $5.48 and comes in a double corn 5 inch tortilla. Note that you can only buy single tacos here; they no longer do taco plates as previous photos of the menu have shown. They also charge $0.50 for extra salsa; we ordered one EXTRA SPICY SALSA on the side to share and just to try. The total for 7 tacos and salsa came to around $50 with tax plus tip. The ENCEBOLLADOS were our favorite. The steak was perfectly cooked and the verde-like sauce they put it on it was amazing! It was zesty, a little spicy, and gave the taco lots of flavor and oomph. 10/10 would recommend and get this again. THE TINGA had a nice smoky flavor and the chicken was also nice and moist. It came with a cotija and sour cream topping and went great with the EXTRA SPICY SALSA that we had on the side (which was definitely spicy but not overwhelming spicy). The COCHINITA PIBIIL (which is normally my favorite and go-to order at El Camion) was our least favorite of the bunch as the pork was slightly dry and my friend found it slightly overly salty. It came with pickled onion on the top and was slightly vinegary and mostly savory. Lastly, the CHICHARRON (which I didn't try, but my friend did) was tasty and had strong tomato flavors, but she regrets not eating that one first as the fried pork rind quickly get soggy in the tomato sauce. As far as seating, they have three outdoor tables and a few benches. No seat covering or outdoor heaters though and so you will have to take your tacos to go in the fall and winter. They have a good health rating which is also always reassuring when eating out. Service was quick and we got our food within 10 minutes after ordering. Note that you bus your own table, but they keep the tables pretty clean. Watch out for the yellow jackets in the summer though! So where does Xochi stack in comparison to other taco places I've tried? I would say it's within the top three picks for sure as they are generous with the taco meat and the tacos are very well seasoned and flavored. I think my favorite taco is still the Cochinita Pibil taco from El Camion, but these tacos beat out Pacos Tacos and La Chingona in my opinion, so maybe second on the list for best taco in the Seattle area? With that said, it's definitely the best taco I've had in Issaquah and the Eastside and I can't wait to be back for more Encebollados! Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere.

I decided to have them for lunch right away and I think it is definitely worth checking them out. I got their golden butter chicken plate and a canned drink. It didn't take too long for my food to be done which was perfect as I was a vendor and only had 30 minutes for my lunch. The food was packed well too, so I didn't have to worry about spills or anything. I was a bit confused by the bread given to me, I was expecting naan or pita bread but it was good. The food was delicious but it wasn't the butter chicken taste that I was expecting. They could have definitely given more sauce as I felt that was lacking and the food was a bit dry, especially for a dish called butter chicken. The portions are generous and easily could have fed two people for sure though. I would definitely try them out again if I came across their truck though as they do have flavors, portions and good service.
