    We are huge Peached Tortilla (PT) fans. Having moved to Leander awhile back, it wasn’t convenient making the trek back to the first location. The wait has paid off… PT has come to nearby Cedar Park! We had been out making merry much of the day, so we weren’t super hungry, so the “snacks” at PT sounded perfect! Our servers Mallory and her trainee, Pharon (hope I spelled the name right!), were awesome! Both were attentive but unintrusive, crisp, thoughtful and accurate service, very nice and personable. They even helped out with an “off the menu” item we had been discussing with our friends all day! LOL Our special menu item, crispy fries, is typically only available during the “social hour”… PT’s everyday happy hour (yes, all 7 days) is from 5-6:30pm. We were outside those hours but Mallory had the kitchen make an order as an appetizer for four, and they were good. The fries weren’t as crisp and hot as we remember, but the 42 minute poached egg poked and oozing down through the fries, OMG good. Our friends agreed! In fact the fries were so good, each side of the table ordered the social burger and substituted another order of crispy fries for each side of the table in lieu of the regular Belgian fries that usually come with the burger. The social burger still has to be one of the best in ATX. Too full for dessert this time around, so we passed… we’ll be back for sure. One final note about PT… from a food perspective, it has to be one of the most creative in the ATX foodie scene. The chef/creator of the menu understands how to combine distinct, unique and unusual flavors to craft very delicious food. Dining at PT is a foodie lover’s dream! Highly recommend you stop by and give it a try!
