Coconut Shrimp
The coconut shrimp is scrumptious and the plantains in the rice are a big yes with me. I appreciated the hint on package adding 1 tbl of water to the rice before reheating. I think 2 might be better,

Coconut Shrimp
Froze this in order to have a lunch on 8/6/2025. It handled the freezing and thawing process okay. Taste wasn't affected. I'm looking for meals that go from one delivery date to the next.

Pork Carnitas Tacos
One of the best meals I have had from here so far. The meat was very flavorful and everything tasted great, but the corn tortillas were dry and did not hold together. I used flour tortillas instead.
