Can’t wait to sit there for an hour while the Torchy’s in Belterra fucks up this taco.

    I hate Torchys. That taco probably sucks. But…I do miss the tortilla fried catfish con queso at Shady Grove. It shouldn’t have worked, yet it was fantastic.

  • Only reason I go to Torchys is when I'm craving a missionary style green chile pork with extra pickled onions. Comes with both a flour and a fried corn tortilla.

Lets try this again - June TOTM - Doublewide 

D7-kzVvWwAEKYBp?format=jpg&name=small

Tried this for lunch today... this thing was like a damn burrito. Seriously, it was substantial. It was fucking delicious, but it would not be in any regular rotation for me. Would be great after a night of drinking. 

 

Doublewide indeed.

I had it, it’s pretty good but a bit dry. Or they forgot/skimped the queso on mine. I tasted the cojita cheese and CFS mainly.  I added some queso from the bowl we ordered so it was all good. CFS had good pepper flavor.  Trailer park hillbilly style is still better and less than $5.50 if I remember correctly.

Just once. They have entirely new staff now.

It takes time to get the twist tie off the store-bought tortillas.

Trailer Park - trashy on flour. 

Every time I go to Torchy's I get both a trashy trailer park and something else to try, but wish I just got more trailer parks.

Store-bought flour tortilla struck out looking to retire the side.

bottle rocket shrimp slams and goes hard.  would kill for it to be in a tortilla from taqueria laredo.

Would they be offended if you brought your own uncooked tortillas from HEB and asked them to toss them on the flat top?

This weeks hot taco is the Barn Burner.  Bottle Rocket shrimp still available all month

Yeah I've typically found the Creeper to be hotter than the Scalding Pig.  Like 'em both though.

Same.  Someone who is high up there told me that Torchys was going to start making tortillas in house in each location.

a few pages back there's a job listing for tortilla cook at one of the locations.  dunno if that was a trial or what.

Kind of makes sense.  It will replace the styrofoam shit they currently make with quality.  One Mexican woman can churn out hundreds per hour like the one at Laredo.  Won’t cost them shit.

And people will somehow complain about the change in tortillas.

won't make up for the shitty beef they use there.

The fajita taco is like $3. Don't let that stop you from bitching about something though.

try $4.50.  3 is damn near $15.  if you get rice and beans with it, it's $18 for a fucking taco plate. 

I'll need proof on the $4.50. But if you're eating 3 Torchy's tacos + rice + beans you got other shit to worry about than your finances.

3 tacos is pretty easy to kill.  6', 153 lbs.

 

 

 

 

 

and it's not bitching about finances, it's bitching about paying el tiempo pricing for taco bell quality tortillas.

Touche. I usually get a green chile pork (missionary) or a dirty sanchez, and with chips & queso I'm one and done. 

Prolly don't work out as much as you though- which way is the gym anyway?

Take off the Diablo sauce/ranch slaw/blue cheese/honey and add chorizo/pico de gallo/tomatillo sauce and you have something.

I'm two tacos max, especially when you add in queso/rice/beans.

Who orders rice and beans at Torchys?

Same people who order Torchy's tacos, when they can get better shit for half the price if they were man enough to venture into less gringo parts of town.

Not until the next morning. 

"Damn, 15 emptys on the table."

Well I enjoyed the Rebel yell while it was around. Now I'm back to Mad cow. 

Had to switch it up for dinner tonight though. My least favorite name, Democrat and then a green chile pork. Replace raw onions with grilled. add chiptole sauce.
