What does that mean? Torchy's isnt a tex-mex place.

These tacos are overpriced


Again, what does this mean? Cheap tacos are generally small "street" style. Torchy's tacos are much larger and use fresher ingredients.

are made for suburbia.


Huh? They are not traditional tacos for sure. But with a taco, anything goes even in Mexico City.

It's not supposed to be Tex-Mex and you shouldn't go in there expecting that. It's a different take on tacos for the most part, and it's damn good.

Taco Bell, outside the dollar menu, is marginally cheaper. A grilled steak soft taco at Taco Bell is around $2.60. Torchy's tacos are $3-4, bigger, and world's better than Taco Bell. It's ridiculous to compare quality and you definitely get your money's worth.

We get it. You’re a neckbeard who likes letting others know you enjoy “authentic” taco shops with no AC and that ask for cash only

Congrats

That place sucks. Had some friends say try it and was in collage station so I did. Overpriced Mexican food. Hell even if it was cheap wasn’t all that. Could do far better than this place.

I’ve eaten at three different locations in Houston and they were all great




I've been to two in San Antonio, and they were both great. Fun place, too. Especially the one in Lincoln Heights.
With a place like this, some people see it's become a chain, and it automatically sucks.

I heard Buc-ees is looking at the new I-10 and Pecue as a possible location.
