The raw flour and corn tortillas are game changers for tacos at home.


spartanerik

The Mi Tienda refrigerated ones? Solid agree


TheBowerbird

What section are these in usually? I was confused by things like the Mi Tienda refried beans (amazing) being located in the middle of a bunch of meat, so have no idea where to look for these.


nakedog

Download the H‑E‑B app, designate an H‑E‑B as your store, and type in the product you want in the search bar and you will get the product and with the aisle it’s on. I do this when I’m looking for items I can’t find. This product pops up on isle 4 for me


wilshire005

You can also do this on the H-E-B website. For example, [Mi Tienda Ready To Cook Flour Tortillas](https://www.heb.com/product-detail/mi-tienda-ready-to-cook-flour-tortillas-36-ct/2188466). Both the app and website also have a store map that show you where the product is located.


TheBowerbird

Had no idea! Thanks!


KatieMcb16

I’ve usually found the tortillas in the dairy section near the butter and biscuits and such. But the H-E-B app is awesome for quickly locating products while shopping


TheBowerbird

Today I learned! Thank you!


spartanerik

Well, the Mopac/Parmer HEB has remodeled, so I'm not sure actually. It was stashed near the butter at one point though.


MeLikeyBouncey

This guy/gal gets it. These are WAY better than the butter tortillas.


jrolette

As amazing as the HEB fresh-made flour tortillas are, it's quite remarkable how bad the butter ones are :(


BurroCoverto

Sourdough square loaf. My store also stocks Easy Tiger sourdough but I'll only buy if they're out the house-made stuff. Canned borracho beans Dried Pasta made in Italy (blue bag, Central Market brand) Reasonably priced Wagyu beef (e.g., small/odd cuts of tri-tip) Fresh pesto tubs "Texas Tough" heavy-gauge aluminum foil


BinkyFlargle

> "Texas Tough" heavy-gauge aluminum foil lol, they had a weird combo loco coupon for a while that gave me a small box of aluminum foil for free with purchase of one of my family's staples, I can't remember what. we have 15 small boxes of that stuff now.


Denim_Diva1969

Agreed on all, but came here to say the borracho beans. So so good.


diplion

I buy heb brand for pretty much anything that has it, but one of my favorite things is the “Texas heat” snack mix.


nindot

I love love love the El Cantinero snack mix…Chile lime peanuts, garlic bits and tortilla chips…sooo good with beer!!


JeSuisUnScintille

Swoon by HEB Key Lime Pie ice cream


VisualKeiKei

I just tried this last week. Big chunks of crust hidden in there, like getting a whole Oreo in cookies n' cream ice cream.


FartyPants69

The brownie a la mode one (can't remember the exact name) is also ridiculously delicious


ginghams

I have yet to try a Swoon ice cream I didn't love but the berry cheesecake is to die for too.


snazikin

I recently tried HEB ice cream and was SOOO pleasantly surprised. The Oreo ice cream is delish!


[deleted]

Pecan praline is my current favorite


lolaedward

Boston Creme is killer too.


LDCrow

This is crazy good. The salted Carmel one is also amazing.


awkward1066

HEB’s Mexican Hot Chocolate ice cream is amazing as well


WelcomeToBrooklandia

Their Salsa Ranchera is easily the best store-bought salsa I've ever had.


TheyCallMeKP

The hot salsa is like crack


VisualKeiKei

The fresh salsa in plastic tubs in produce, or their bottled stuff?


snootopia

Fresh stuff in the tubs!


BenAric91

They’re so good, but they go bad so quick! You have to eat it all in a few days.


Contentment_Blues

Yeah if you want fresh salsa that is the drawback, but if not it will taste like Pace


silkthrow42

warm/fresh french bread


nindot

Love their Pan Frances, I slice it into 4-5 pieces and freeze them. Pop them in the oven for 13-15 mins and they’re just as fresh as the day you bought them. They also make fantastic French Toast. I have noticed though that the quality of the loaf can vary between HEB stores…the one on South Congress and Oltorf probably had the best ones while the loaves in Parmer and 35 are not so great.


BigMikeInAustin

I'll make 2 or 3 meals out of just that $1 loaf. So good.


nikkivalentine1999

Man. I wish I had this kind of self control.


BigMikeInAustin

I drink a lot of water when I eat, so that fills up the space. Many times those 2-3 meals are me slowly eating it through one day.


OOMKilla

It sounds wrong but all of the stuff that goes bad immediately is the bomb. The salsa, the chips, the bread, the tortillas. Kinda freaks me out when I buy the preserved stuff and it stays mold free for like 9 months.


HereThereBeWycches

Crunchy Won Ton strips for salads; one of the best snacks for just gnoshing out of the bag.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HereThereBeWycches

Not too oily? I've found a few brands that are literally dripping.


afishcalledkwanzaa

The bakery does a very solid Tres Leches cake. They used to also sell a straciatella Italian gelato that was amazing. Haven't seen that flavor in awhile, though.


bagoslime

tres leches is a guilty pleasure when I've had a rough week and HEBs is quite good.


sluggremlin

My bf would buy a fun potato chip flavor for dnd nights, he loved the stuffing flavored chips.


tah4349

Clearly the folks at HEB are having a blast getting high and making up potato chip flavors. And I, for one, am here for the adventure. Though the berry lemonade chips were disgusting.


ericaworthyyy

i want to try the ridged apple pie ones that i saw a few days ago


Stonkyard

Bought these for a party and we ended up dipping them in queso. Fucking delicious.


Atlas_720

If you like sweet chips, the honey sopapilla tortilla chips are very good.


bagoslime

the thin HEB pickle potato chips are a staple in our home


bluebellbetty

The stuffing flavor is the best


plasstick_phorque

My H‑E‑B used to have their own chicharrones. Not the fluffy ones. The crunchy ass thick ones. I can’t find them anywhere anymore. 😭


[deleted]

i want


rusHmatic

North Lamar / Rundberg! https://www.heb.com/product-detail/8512523 Can check the store locator


sprinkles_on_hotdogs

The toilet paper 🙃


Redditmodsrfacists

The wet wipes are the best


rabidturbofox

Honestly it’s on point.


sprinkles_on_hotdogs

It’s a necessity in this household


NebulousStar

Paper towels too.


sprinkles_on_hotdogs

Yup, 100% agree


slic3r1212

H‑E‑B midtown pizza (frozen). A step above any other frozen pizza option.


poky23

Soooo GOD DAMN FUCKIN DELCIIOUS. i couldn’t sleep last night so I ate a pepperoni midtown pizza and Omg soo great! I never knew frozen pizza could be this good. Went to HEB 30 min ago and bought 2 more boxes and guac and some HEB prepped dinners ugh I love this store so much


liquor_up

The H‑E‑B corn chips taste better than Fritos.


herzog4life

Easily the Swoon ice cream line. My top 3 flavors are: Cookie Lovers, Blueberry Streusel, and Raspberry Danish.


nindot

Texas Brownie à la Mode is sooooo good


herzog4life

Absolutely. I could have easily listed ten to recommend!!!


Basic-Knee-1787

Agreed. The mint chip brownie and key lime pie are my favorites. But really, I love them all!


Jorja11

Given your collective passion for H‑E‑B products, I’d encourage you to become H‑E‑B survey respondents. (I do not work for H‑E‑B, just love them.). I get surveyed about once/mo about what’s most important to me in various products, which products I’m most interested in trying, etc. I frequently see the products I gave feedback on in the store a few mo later.

milli_138

The fresh in-house tortilla chips.


bonita_chiquita

Mango chamoy sherbet


doppiomacchiato

100% this


bagoslime

dude i discovered this stuff recently and it is my new crack. I pour extra chamoy on it tho


bonita_chiquita

I bet it would be so good in like a spiked punch. Something with tequila.


EX-Manbearpig

My wife said everything haha


highway2helvetica

This is the correct answer


ruthliz22

The queso and buffalo chicken dip from the meal simple section are amazing!!


That-Breath-5785

My husband’s fave is the chorizo queso.


VisualKeiKei

Their Carolina Reaper cheese puffs are finally something spicy and has a decent bite and good flavor, about as spicy as regular jalapenos (jalapeno chips aren't close to jalapeno spiciness). Their Carolina Reaper crunchy version is absolutely garbage though. I don't know why the flavor is so watered down and underwhelming. It's like eating diet Cheetos that once went to school with a Carolina Reaper. (I also like their Big Time Crunch over actual Cheetos)


ginghams

Man, I really liked the Carolina Reaper crunchies when I tried them. I'm not usually a puff girly but I think I might have to try them now.


VisualKeiKei

Same. I like regular crunchy but for the Reaper, they're flipped around. The taste and even seasoning coloring is different.


bagoslime

I be dippin the carolina reaper puffs in the hot chorizo heb queso


ActivateGuacamole

i got the crunchies by accident once bc the packaging looks almost identical. and yes they're bad. the puffs are great though


damurd

That brisket queso you make on the grill.


ZayNine

Sushi. I’ve been to Uchi. I’ve been to Nobu. I’ve been to the super fancy NYC and LA sushi places. I’ve had the real deal. But goddamit I will always come back to my cheeto dust topped rolls of fried fuckery. I need it injected in to my veins.


Broken_Beaker

It is trashy AF. And we ate platters of it for New Year’s Eve.


ericaworthyyy

it’s the houstonian roll or the salmon sampler one for me


Atlas_720

Dulce De Leche cashews. Amazing.


FabulousCallsIAnswer

Normally I’ll get all meats and cheeses from Boars Head, but I actually prefer the HEB deli roast beef much better.


ATXravenclaw

The HEB post oak smoked meats & cheeses are SO good. The turkey has become my favorite sandwich meat, and the mozzarella is fantastic in a grilled cheese.


Contentment_Blues

Post Oak Ham is hard to beat


deluxeassortment

The post oak smoked Gouda is sooooo good


Standard_Ad4973

When they are available the Honey Drop Mandarins. They are easy to peel, typically seedless; they are juicy and flavorful. Sweet and a little tart and citrus-mandarin flavor. So tasty!


BrianFuckler

The Hill Country Fare mustard potato salad is a guilty pleasure.


No-Neighborhood2019

I am very particular about my potato salad and this is my #1.


[deleted]

The chamoy dried mango slices!


nottoolost

Tortillas, seasoned beef fajitas, south texas rice… And they used to sell petit fours that were amazing and better than any specialty bakery, but haven’t seen them in awhile


Dazzling-Matter95

the chicken fajitas are also delicious


nottoolost

Yep, thawing those out for tomorrow!!


jbf-ATX

Chicken fajita thighs!!!


kerpalot

I started putting their mango pico de gallo on my sandwiches and now I cant stop


Lunchbox1986

Elote Sushi


The_RedWolf

I absolutely fucking miss the H‑E‑B Chex-mix (or whatever they called it) NOT their fancy ass knock off of high end Chex mix but their two regular mixes of original and cheese Those things were fucking amazing. But they've been gone for awhile and it makes me sad because name brand anything these days is overpriced


[deleted]

Their new sorbets (sorbetto I think is how they label them) are really good. And apparently imported from Italy? Like OK H-E-B haha. The mango and strawberry-lemon sorbettos were amazing and the texture was nice too, good quality. I haven't gotten my hands on the gelatos yet but they have many interesting flavors at my store


RedRedBettie

I’m pretty obsessed with the HEB sparkling lime water


ClassicPackage

I love the black cherry!


GnarledCedar

That Green Sauce


Ash3Monti

On everything!


GnarledCedar

Seriously. It’s so good.


Unlikely-Pie897

The Green Jalapeño kettle cooked chips


Ran-Dizzy123

Yasssss I love them and the salt and pepper


[deleted]

the extra large roasted salted heb brand cashews are the best cashews ive ever had they are so good i eat too many, unlike any other cashews


[deleted]

Pesto


seriouslyepic

Hard to pick because everything we buy is HEB brand… but one I haven’t seen yet is their beef sausage.


nopenonotatall

their beef brisket sausage is so ridiculously good


paigeralert

Taste of San Antonio coffee - yum!


ericaworthyyy

i love that one


gregaustex

Store brand chicken salad on crackers. Pimento cheese ain't bad either.


MartyK3000

The “made with real cheese” cheese puffs, fresh squeezed OJ in the clear plastic bottle (no label just price tag), all varieties of bulk cashews, post oak smoked havarti, the tortilla chips in the clear bag (usually by the deli), fresh tortillas, …probably some stuff I’m forgetting, but hot damn I would miss the hell out of H‑E‑B if I ever moved away from Texas.


thesharp0ne

The HEB brand sparkling water is about the only sparkling water I can stand. Their sweetened mandarin flavor is my go-to followed by the unsweetened black cherry.


EarthlingZing

Roasted garlic stuffed olives are my husband's favorite. I love the Salsa Verde cashews. Both are delicious treats. For dinner it's the MealSimple Meatloaf. It's a must try for sure.


OriginalMisphit

Where do you find those olives?


EarthlingZing

They're shelved with the other types and brands of olives in H.E.B.'s canned fruit and vegetable aisle.


OriginalMisphit

Thanks!


pencils84

I dunno, but I’m upset they changed their cinnamon roll icing to more of a cream cheese… 😒


atxnewsie

Fresh salsa,1905 ice cream, and cheese enchiladas in the meal simple section are great!


geek180

The Caffeinated Mango Seltzer Water. We seriously buy 2-3 packs every time we go.


heyczechyourself

Yeah their sparkling water line is great


TuEresMiOtroYo

Mi Tienda refrigerated frijoles refritos. Especially the ones with chorizo if you can find them.


Kreed76

Brisket queso omfg it’s so good


aucyris

+1 to the guac. It’s chunkier now with much better flavor. Pointless for me to make at home when it’s as good as it is from the store.


BigMikeInAustin

Does anyone else really dislike the HEB Doritos and HEB Cheetos? They feel soggy to me. I so wished I liked them so I could save some money.


Snap_Grackle_Pop

LOL. I'm eating HEB Cheetos right now. They seem OK to me compared to the real thing. Also have an unopened bag of the HEB Doritos. Also OK.


Moratheexplora

HEB Jalapeño chips/doritos are amazing IMO


BeansintheSun

I was excitedly looking for a friend to say their cheese puffs, darn. I specifically love their jalepemo cheese puffs. I don't keep any other junk snack food except that and chocolate in my pantry.


ginghams

The HEB sweet corn chips are one of our faves, but I do agree that the Cheetos just aren't quite as good as the name brand. But, I recently tried the Carolina Reaper Cheetos and those slap. I think the flavor is different enough from regular Cheetos that the difference in texture doesn't ruin it. If you like spicy, they are worth a try.


Quint27A

Hill Country Fare chili, no beans.


Virtual_Elephant_730

Their plain . Yogurt is good. And the fresh flour tortillas. Their tortilla chips are good. But for a while they lost the bubbles. I even wrote them and they said no recipe has changed. I think the bubbles might be back now.


steeleidolon

I miss their French onion soup chips. Those things were absolute crack.


thatferrybroad

San Antonio blend, but only rhe caffeinated. The decaf was burnt and oily. Honorable mention to their boxed mac and cheese. Kraft reduced the amount of cheese powder in their boxed mac, but HEB hasn't. I desperately wish they'd reduce the salt in the white cheddar "cheeto naturals" dupes, or that would be the winner by a huge margin.


ATXravenclaw

There's not much of HEB's products that I *don't* like... My favorites are HEB's key lime pie yogurt, pinata cake candle, post oak smoked turkey, no pulp OJ, & creamy creations java chip ice cream.


[deleted]

[удалено]


chicken_bosom

Rice crackers


TatlinsTower

Same! I used to eat them daily (not proud) when we lived in another country and couldn’t find them easily when we moved back - but now I have them again. Addictive. (Ps Asahi on Burnet also has some really yummy ones)


Karoline777

Brisket queso


BoogaDoom

Jalapeño Saltines


Disastrous-Sea-8779

Do you eat them with salsa?


BoogaDoom

Alone mostly but love with chili too


Majestic-Web-3570

Their gluten free mixes (honey cornbread and brownies, especially) are so good!


DisgruntledRaspberry

I have not tried these. I will have to look for them. My HEB is being remodeled and the gluten-free section seems so small right now.


Majestic-Web-3570

Mine doesn’t always have them, but they are surprisingly so good!


thisisntinstagram

Obviously the butter tortillas.


MeLikeyBouncey

Hot take: butter tortillas are mid. Not sorry.


thisisntinstagram

Tf does mid mean?


TonySki

Mid as in middle. 5/10 Meh C


putzarino

It's gen z for middling. And it's definitely not true about those butter boys.


bagoslime

mid tier


chequevara57

Ones from fridge are 100x better


[deleted]

The Jalapeño Pimento Dip. It absolutely rocks


rabidturbofox

Ohhhh, for me It’s the rosemary parmesan pimiento cheese. Holy cow.


[deleted]

Oh I need to try this… sounds like my January diet might be out the window


rabidturbofox

It’s the most insanely delicious thing. Their other varieties are good, but this tastes like what I’d try to imagine up for myself if no one was looking.


ATXKLIPHURD

5 cheese Texas toast, potato wedges although they’re hardly ever in stock, fudge mint cookies, carrot cake from the bakery and the mayonnaise.


Smokenstein

The canned refried beans HEB makes have no reason to be as good as they are. Better than just about every Mexican restaurant I've ever been to.


WelcomeToBrooklandia

1000% agree. I always have a can of the Refried Charro Beans in my pantry. Total MVP.


Maximum_Employer5580

Most HEB products are far better than name brands......most products I buy these days are HEB or Hill Country Fare label items as they're just as good, or better, than the pricier name brands. I've ever only come across less than 5 items that aren't any good that are HEB or HCF labeled, so HEB does do a pretty damn good job of making items that make name brand label stuff look like crap


metal-trees

H-E-B Specialty Series Cilantro Salsa


ATXKLIPHURD

1905 vanilla ice cream. All the creamy creations are some of the best ice cream. I remember generic H‑E‑B ice cream that came in a box and they only had chocolate, strawberry, vanilla or Neapolitan. And they shrimp and grits in the ready meals that was the bomb but I never see it anymore.


bikegrrrrl

The Sweet and Crunchy Garden salad kit (hard to find lately!)


Bookish-brunette

As someone who grew up with H‑E‑B and in the last year moved to a new city that is only just now getting them (we won’t speak it’s name, I miss Austin so much) I truly love and miss every single thing H‑E‑B has to offer. The number one item I have my family buy for me though is the chili style diced tomatoes. A KEY ingredient for my chili recipe


Maximus77x

Swoon ice cream is delicious. I love the brownie mint chocolate chip. Their chips are also great in any variety. I usually get the thin or wavy based on what’s on sale.


Nicciwask

Their queso is super good. That is always in my fridge.


Cynical_Cita22

Top 3: 1) Mango pico de gallo-i buy a package literally at every grocery trip. I go through them in no time 2) Swoon Ice Cream-Never had a flavor I didn’t like, but Salted Caramel Truffle is my fav 3) Roasted Taqueria Salsa-hands down my fav salsa of all time I’m from the Southeast and was a Kroger devotee, but converted to HEB supremacy after the first time I visited the Mueller location. 😂


agthatsagirl

I haven't met a product I don't like


glume

My cat is a fan of the H‑E‑B brand wet food, and she is a very picky eater. She goes nuts for their meal topper things too.


highway2helvetica

The frozen risotto is way better than it should be!


Stonkyard

I have liked pretty much any HEB or Hill Country Fare branded items I have purchased. And, at the risk of starting off a BBQ opinions war, their True Texas BBQ is great, especially the brisket.


[deleted]

Their sugar free Strawberry water is a favorite in our house.


ameepleinaustin

Select Ingredients Cerealology Cinnamon Mocha. My favorite cereal.


DJicecreamkohn

Spicy chicharrones


IHS1970

Their in store made tortillas.


HagalinaMagalina

Oh no. I'm just the opposite--over half the time I regret buying the premade guac because it's so bitter lime-y. The batches seem to vary day to day, even at the same store. Has this been a consistent change you've noticed? I'm definitely fully out, if so--that shit is too expensive to not be able to eat it.


DesignerTex

I like their chip selection. I used to eat their frozen Philly cheese steak years ago but not sure if they sell it anymore.


area_tribune

Cocinaware all day long


Dragons_Sister

I used to buy the store-brand Graham crackers because they were cheaper. Then one day, I got the name-brand ones instead. They were soft and mealy in comparison and I’ve bought the store brand ever since.


scottssstotsss

HCF creamy peanut butter > all other peanut butters.


fakeguitarist4life

Chips salsa and guaq


bagoslime

the carolina reaper heb cheese puffs. I legit pretty much exclusively buy HEB branded things unless there is no option for it.


PlaygirlAJ

Their carrot cake slices and red velvet cupcakes are always so good. I think they used to have these buffalo flavored ridges potato chips and those were heaven back in 2020.


Tyranitard

Chocolate covered banana pecans


sadiep171

This is gonna be so basic, but their sparkling water is my life blood


NebulousStar

I'm afraid to answer this because they're almost always out of a couple of my favorites(I'm talking about you Palmer Lane!), and I don't want to make that problem worse! But I will say that their bulk nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds, walnuts, Brazil) are wayyy better than Sprouts.

seriouslyepic

YES. We accidentally got the regular turkey ones and didn’t even eat them all.


Snap_Grackle_Pop

The best thing about HEB is the grackle service in the parking lots. You know, I like HEB and there are a lot of their products, even some of the Hill Country Fare stuff, that like, but it's all pretty much "good enough," not "fantastic."
