    This is NOT the candy store in the video shared by someone for this place. The photos of the pretzel, fried tomatoes, hot dog, elotes are from this place. We had seen a travel video saying their pretzels are amazing - and I was skeptical when we walked up to this tiny stall with state fair fare - but that $15 Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese was the biggest (shared 4 ways) and best pretzel I have ever had. We were all unanimous on this. Best. Pretzel. Ever. It comes out hot as heck - use a napkin to break off a piece and eat it hot and fresh. You will not be disappointed. We'll be back for another tomorrow.
