    We have Tijuana Flats all over Tampa Bay. I love their Jason's Mom sauce. I usually buy them by the bottle. That sauce is good on just more than tacos. It goes great on steak. My friend likes putting it on salmon when he cooks.
    Not true Mexican, but I do like them and their sauces are better than the sauces at Torchy's Tacos.

    Hi, first off my mother loves watching your videos and has even gotten me to watching them too. I wanted to ask if you would keep my family, in particularly my mom (Linda) in your prayers. My grandmother, my moms mother passed away suddenly Saturday June 22nd. I won't go into details, but there is a lot of stuff that is hurtful and upsetting with other family members involving her death and it has hit my family very hard. We are struggling with it all right now and prayer is definitely needed! Thank you

    • @SmokyMtFaithFoodFun
      @SmokyMtFaithFoodFun  Před 7 dny

      Christy here. First off, I am SO SORRY for the loss of your grandma. We will be praying God's peace and healing over you all. It's so hard. I've been there. I lost my Mom suddenly 2 years ago on July 8th. We also had some very very hurtful things said and done to us over her passing. Family can be amazing but sometimes they try to control situations or feel they have the right to do and say things they don't...in our case they way overstepped boundaries and said horrible untrue things. I've learned to forgive but I will no longer allow them into our life. It's sad...but I have to make sure that my own mental health comes first. Take care of yourselves. Thank you for watching our lil channel. God Bless you!
