Torchy's Tacos is So Good

Torchy's Tacos is So Good

🌮🔥 Torchy's Tacos Review: Damn Good (Hey! That's Their Slogan!) 🔥🌮

We're back at Torchy's Tacos with my mom Sue Ornelas, and despite forgotten items, cooled-off food, and a few service hiccups, this ended up being a remarkably positive experience. The decor is packed with personality (pitchfork door handles are peak), and the food carries the day. Also, we unpack the long-standing psychological damage Torchy's has done to me assuming guacamole has cheese on it.

🌮 The Threesome: Tomatillo Salsa, Guacamole (with Cotija cheese smh...), and Queso
🌽 Street Corn That Shows Up Ready to Play
🌮 Taco Gauntlet: The Democrat, Green Chile Pork, Brushfire, Wrangler, and Baja Shrimp
🍩 Churros Close Things Out Strong
🧀 Cotija vs. "Cojita": A Full Mandela Effect Crisis
🤦‍♂️ Torchy's Made Me Ask If Guac Has Cheese Everywhere Else
🍴 Service Misfires But at Least They're Nice About It
🏰 Sue's Best & Worst Restaurant Stories: Sleeping Waiters and a Real-Life Wine Castle

💬 COMMENT BELOW: Does great food outweigh bad service, or is that a dealbreaker for you?
