I'm from Austin, so when we moved here 6 years ago, I was sad that there weren't any H-E-B's in the DFW area. So when I learned Plano and Frisco were opening, I was ecstatic! I was at both locations, first day grand openings, lol. That's how long I've been sitting on this review
You just can't beat their combo locos, ready-made simple meals, fresh, hot homemade tortillas and French bread They've added a lot of their own brand of high end ice cream, pizzas, meals, cheeses, etc... We didn't have half of these options, when we left Austin 6 years ago. I've tried both their fancy ice cream (Swoon) and their fancy pizzas (Midtown), the goat cheese, four cheese and cherry tomato pizzas are my favorites. They're very tasty, restaurant style pizzas. SO good!
I'm also happy about being able to eat Garcia's Barbacoa again! Barbacoa at a restaurant or taco cabana is either only available on Sunday's or it's not real barbacoa, it's generally brisket meat. Not to mention it's overpriced. But now that H-E-B opened, I can have genuine barbacoa whenever I want, and it's the real deal!
The entire simple meal department with options for every type of diet and every country you can think of, is so helpful. You can choose from meals that are, Italian, Mexican, Lo-Carb, Mediterranean, Sushi, etc... Then you just take it home and either pop it in the oven or microwave, depending on which meal you chose.
The produce department with so many fresh fruits and veggies, plus homemade dressings, salsas, chips and guacamole, cannot be beat! You can also find pretty much any fruit or vegetable, sliced and diced prepackaged for you too. The bakery and cheese departments are incredible as well.
All throughout the store everything is fresh and kept well stocked at all times! If you haven't converted to H‑E‑B yet, you still can. Allen and McKinney are opening soon!
