Torchy's Tacos

We're obsessed with Torchy's. OBSESSED. I think we've averaged 1.5 times per week there since we first went. I have made it my mission to try every taco, so each time we go I order a different one. I've tried so far:

Beef Fajita
Baja Shrimp
The Republican (jalapeño sausage)
The Democrat (barbacoa)
The Trailer Park (fried chicken tenders)

And we have to have the chips and queso. Absolutamente delicioso.

The only one I haven't liked is the barbacoa, which I tried last night. I did my research on Google to find out exactly what barbacoa is. I had a vague idea it wasn't straight up beef. It is meat from the head of a cow or a goat, although it can also refer just to the method of slow cooking any regular meat. So when it said on the menu "beef barbacoa" I thought it was just regular beef.

I ate some of it, so it wasn't disgusting or anything, but very greasy, which it is supposed to be, and a very weird consistency. I finally realized it could well be traditional barbacoa. Whatever it is, I won't get it again. Although it came highly recommended by people online and the first person we asked to recommend one there. Plenty of people like it!

Killer tacos, people. Get some!!
