Enter TX Delicioso a truck whose mainstay is pizza but offers much more. Continue reading

The holiday season is officially here and no amount of complaining will hold back the rush of pageantry, music and lights, so we all best accept the fact we need to get our shopping complete so we can sit back and enjoy with a cold mug of heavily spiked eggnog.
