I had heard the rumors, but found out first hand that Andy’s Mexican & American Deli in Holt has reopened! J sent me on a food run this afternoon after hearing from a couple people that the deli was back in business.
True to form, Andy recognized me when I walked in. He says he’s been open for about a month after taking some time off to attend to a family emergency. He’s working on getting the word out to his regular customers and hoping that through word of mouth people will start coming back.
I’ve already done a review of Andy’s, but I do have to share a few things about today’s visit. Obviously, there was the fact that he remembered me when I walked in. It’s been several months since I had been in there. He knew my fiancee’s name and asked how she was doing. You don’t get that at many places.
The food. J has been craving Andy’s quacamole for many months. We keep going to Mexican places and she keeps getting quac. She always complains about it not being nearly as good as Andy’s. Apparently avacado’s are expensive right now and Andy had to raise his prices. Most places would have just charged me and not said anything, but Andy told me before he made it that the price went up and if I still wanted it. J would pay a lot more for it, so I said yes. He remembered that J likes her quac with light onions.
I also ordered five tacos for us to split. He asked if I wanted flour or corn. I asked if he had any hard shells. He said that wouldn’t be a problem and he actually fried up some tortillas so I could have hard shell tacos. Most places would have just said no.
We’re both so happy Andy is back open. We’ll be making the short drive to Holt a little more regularly now.
