EASILY the best TOTM. 
 

Side note—a new location just opened up near me, and those jokers had the unmitigated gall to open WITHOUT having the TOTM ready to serve. Gonna get a strongly worded yelp review for sure.

NEW July TOTM

That’ll be good if they can make a decent ceviche. 

[UTPhil2006 3801]

Only in Louisiana..  I kindly let them know we would destroy this taco in Texas too..This exclusive, Cajun-inspired taco is *ONLY* available at Louisiana locations and features fried crawfish, andouille sausage and Diablo sauce!

I posted that on the Whataburger thread. I'll be there when the doors open. 

[relapse98 634]

I'd eat a metric ton of those louisiana tacos.

[Neonmoon 38129]

Anyone tried the Prawn star yet? 
 

I would crush that Bayou Pirate

Torchy's protip for those with a big appetite.

They have a grande burrito for like $7 or $8 comparable to a Chipotle or Freebirds.  But unlike those two guacamole is included in that price.

It's more food than two of their tacos for less money, though it's just a pretty standard burrito.  In other words you're not going to have fried chicken, shrimp, ceviche, and the like in your burrito.

But I like it enough it has replaced Chipotle as my goto for when I want  a big ass burrito.

Yeah that's a great burrito, imo.  It's definitely in my rotation.

August is Fire in the Hole Month or whatever..

Ate at Torchy’s today for the first time in at least five years.

I like their burritos better than their shitty ass tacos.

Chicarrones in queso sounds fucking disgusting.

[Hank_Hill 18783]

Well, no.

[Covri 6244]

These two make a really good substitute for traditional chips and queso if you’re eating low carb. The torchys version looks good.

The fuck is wrong with you?

[Hank_Hill 18783]

Yep, fuck that

[CooterBrown 18001]

They sell those panko chicken tenders at Costco. 3 lbs bag for like $15. I don’t know if it’s the panko but they taste oddly like fish.

Tried this one yesterday, and it slammed. I mean, you put bacon and Torchy's queso on anything and it goes up to 11, and the slaw and blue cheese were a nice compliments.

November TOTM - NEW

[4th&Five 41506]

i haven't eaten there in probably 2 years but that sounds pretty good.

[billfromlaketravis 11444]

I tried the Ranch Hand on Saturday morning. Mass manufactured tortilla? Check. Powdered McDonald's eggs? Check. Diablo sauce tasted like a buffalo sauce? Check. 

The fajita meat was OK. 

How is this a thread?!

what?  The diablo sauce tastes nothing like buffalo sauce and I’m pretty positive they use real eggs...   Unless things have changed?  Idk I haven’t been in a while.  They also use to make the tortillas there, I’m pretty sure the one in Round Rock has a tortilla maker visible.
