Taste The Love at Alcenia's

On a warm July afternoon what is better than Tasting the Love??? Nothing.. Alcenia's is tucked into the north end in a small little building. My Mom thought she had a Groupon for them but she got it wrong so there we were at lunch time. I have to say I was skeptical- I mean the place looked festive with all kinds of colors and chairs but it was a bit empty and I felt almost like I was in someones home. 

We ordered the food and it really took awhile to come out of the kitchen but when it did- Wow was it good. Everything was served on picnicware but the portions were pretty generous and after the first bite I was not complaining. The fried chicken was fresh fried for me and tender. It has some nice spices, The yams were sliced fresh and cooked with some karo syrup cinnamon in and butter. The black eyed peas, one of my favorites were spicy, fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked. They had some little something in them I have not had before perhaps hominy or ... I just don't know. 

The chicken wings had

a karo syrup hot sauce with some nice herbs and hot peppers mixed in. They were not too hot or too vinegar. The lovely lady there said she hoped I tasted the Love and I did! So if you need a bit of love in your day go fill the place up.

It's all in the atmosphere and having a good time.

I like their pickles and the kids meals come with free ice cream, you just can't beat that!

I usually get the cheese burger, but I really just want pickles. I like them.

My Dad gets the Senor Huey burger, I never tried it so I cant say if it is good. My Dad really does like it.

My Mom gets the cheese burger just like me.

The food is not too special. However the Burgers usually win the Best Burger of Memphis. I think it is because we just all like to go there.

To wrap it up the food is so so, but the vibe is cool.

(I love the PICKLES!)

Love the cabbage leaf,

Logan
