This is actually the first place that I ever tried macarons. And you know what they say. You can never forget the first time. Very light, a bit chewy and very sweet with a bunch of flavors to choose from. I have tried many other places every since and I have to say I have yet to find a dessert place which has better macarons. I find that other places make them really light and its like biting into air. No real satisfaction in that. I like my macarons with a bit more bite and with a slight chewiness. This place does it just the way I like. I feel like I'm Goldilocks choosing the one that is not too soft and not too hard but the one that is done just right. And I think Ruelo does them just right. I take away one star because they are just so freakin expensive. Not just here but everywhere. I will never give 5 stars for macarons unless Ruelo sells them for a lower price or some place amazes me with a macaron better than Ruelo's.
