Favorite torchy's taco

[Kermit 3156]

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

You wait an hour for torchys?

Lets try this again - June TOTM - Doublewide 

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.

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

That sounds pretty good.

It usually is

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.

Had the Bottle Rocket yesterday on corn, and the trailer park trashy on corn, with a 16oz Lone Star.  Bottle Rocket is pretty  freaking hot.

[UTPhil2006 3801]

Forgot to post the TOTM for August but its the same weekly hot stuff they've been doing the past few years.

[utee94 15797]

I wait til week 4 and get one of each.

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

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

[UTPhil2006 3801]

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

[UTPhil2006 3801]

This weeks is the Creeper.

[utee94 15797]

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.

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. 

[threesheets 1672]

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?

[Junior Miller 1502]

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

Yeah, pretty much this.

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

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. 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Street corn actually, now that I think about it.  Fuck all y'all.

Not until the next morning.

[msudawg 371]

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.

Naughty Santa was good. Will try the Midnight Cowboy, no homo.

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 943]

I like Torchys, but that sounds like an overpriced Double Decker Taco.

[Junior Miller 1502]

Yeah it's basically a picadillo taco with two tortillas
