Being a native of Austin, Texas I
was ecstatic to find out there was a Torchy’s Tacos here in Waco. Torchy’s is
known for being vegetarian friendly and having many options to choose from. As
an appetizer I was between guacamole, queso and salsa (which were all
vegetarian options) but I decided on the green chile queso. For the vegetarian
options for tacos I decided amongst the fried avocado taco, the independent
taco, and the Dirty Sanchez taco I decided to try the fried avocado.
The queso came out almost as soon
as I had gotten to the table after filling up my drink. In it was green chilies,
guacamole, a splash of Torchy’s hot sauce, cilantro, and cheese. We decided to
mix it all together to optimize the flavors. The crunch and salt of the chips matched perfectly with the creamy and spicy queso. We ended up getting a refill of chips
to finish every last bite of the delicious snack.
The taco came out soon after with
vegetarian refried beans, pico, lettuce and cheese with a side of poblano sauce
which I decided to get on a flour tortilla. It came overflowing the tortilla which
made it quite messy to eat. I was surprised how well all the textures and
flavors mixed together because I was originally worried it would be too mushy
with the avocado, but it was fried to perfection.
Overall, Torchy’s is a great place
to go if you are vegetarian. The flavors are unique and you don’t have to worry
about ordering meat because everything on the menu is clearly marked. There is
a variety of options, its relatively cheap, and if the line isn’t too long the
food comes out within minutes so I would highly recommend it.
