‘Twas sort of a cold day here in Cville — I am currently wearing a fleece!
So guess where we went? Nobody guessed right — it was Costco! Mr. Mazen loves the samples and the huge carts : )
We worked on our manners as he politely asked for a sample and said thank you upon receiving one. (He is very good with manners, but we are always practicing!) Surprisingly, he said “No thank you” to the grapefruit…
…but loved this chicken dumpling!
I picked up just a few essentials ; ) You know I put both toilet paper and kettle chips in the essentials category! I only go to Costco maybe every other month, so when I go, I usually fill my trunk. I spy some Quaker oats!!
Back at home, I wanted to curl up in a dog bed and take a nap, but we had things to do and games to play!
And eventually, tacos to eat. We were invited by the new Fuzzy’s Taco Shop to come in on the house to enjoy a meal, so Thomas joined us after work and we headed to Fifth Street Station (one of Cville’s newest shopping centers) for dinner. Fuzzy’s is a franchise, and we met franchisee Pranav at the door, who was nice as can be.
The menu is full of Tex-Mex favorites like chips and dips, nachos, tacos, burrito bowls, and platters. There is also a full bar!
The decor is brightly colored, and I loved all of the rich wood. We ordered at the counter, and when your buzzer goes off you pick your meal up at this window:
So what did we get? Chips and jalapeno-cilantro queso and guacamole to start. I loved the seasoning on the chips, and the queso was great!
I had two tacos, one was tempura fish and the other grilled shrimp. The tempura fish was my favorite — I just loved the crunchy outside and buttery fish inside. My dinner came with sides, so I chose refried beans and cilantro rice.
Thomas ordered three tacos — chicken, beef, and fish. The beef was his favorite, but he reports that they were all delicious. Mazey had a cheese quesadilla, which he gave a thumbs up. I also loved that they had sour cream — mi favorita!
Thanks to the Fuzzy’s Taco team for hosting us! It is such a great little casual dinner spot.

Totally craving tacos now!! I need mine loaded up with sour cream … so much sour cream! They give pretty large portion sizes of the sides; I think I’d have enough for dinner and a doggy bag to take for lunch.

The tempura fish taco sounds really good! I think I’ll have tacos for lunch today, or a burrito… hm. Life’s biggest decisions.

I often use “sour cream” and “greek yogurt” interchangeably if I’m using the yogurt as sour cream at home. In a restaurant I’m not too worried about it – it’s all part of the Squiggly Line Effect : )

We love Costco! My almost 4-year old goes with me on Fridays while brother bear in in school. The samples are her favorite, and she will pretty much eat anything they offer if it’s called a “sample.” I started going weekly, as I can run in over my lunch break and stock up. I’m trying to use this more as a grocery store, and am slowly starting to increase what I buy there and decrease what I buy at the grocery store. Their prices are great, and they have a really good selection of organic produce.

I love Fuzzy’s Tacos – they are all over in my city – even one right next to where I work
