Discussed in the Coming & Going thread.

Good news.

Thanks for sharing, Wildmen. Pretty excited about the Torchy's news. It's going to have a full bar like their location in the Heights.

That might be one restaurant that can survive in that location, if B/CS will accept $3-4 Taco's....

It will! Hell, some of their tacos are more than that. CS is past due for a TT. They went to Waco and LBK before CS.

That's a little expensive for this town.

Some posters on the Houston board said the same thing before Torchy's opened their first location.

Now they have 3.

Aren't Fuego's tacos in the same ballpark price wise? And IIRC Torchy's tacos are pretty big, so $3-$4 sounds like a bargain. Maybe "add-ons" drive the price up though.

Yeah and Fuego's aren't anything special. TT is gonna eat their lunch.

Torchy's is outstanding. They will definitely give fuego some competition.

Great ingredients, excellent hot sauces, amazing queso, and unique taco recipes.

The Trailer Park taco "trashy" is great. And the chips and queso is some of the best I have had. I could just drink the queso!! Glad they are coming to town. It will be worth the odd location to get there.

I've had some TT before, but I'm a much bigger fan of Rusty Taco.

If Fuego isn't that great, why would Torchy's eat there for lunch??

Torchys is awesome. Fuego better get a second location going soon in south CS. Competition is heating up.

So Smith&Co, what is your connection to Torchy's?

You are obviously a big fan.

I have zero controlling interest in TT. I'm just a taco addict who loves Torchy's, nothing more. The first time I tasted Torchy's was around 2003 during a trip to Austin for ACL. My addiction has only grown since.


I've been a hedonist,glutton for the past 28 years and know a thing or two about good tacos/BBQ. Torchy's is solid and consistent...have yet to be disappointed.

If any of you guys frequent Houston, specifically the Heights, swing by Torchy's off Ashland & 19th. Their Heights platform is what you will see in CS. This platform includes a full bar which most of their(older) locations do not have. Pretty unique drink menu with 3-5 crafts on tap. I usually hit up this location before I make the pilgrimage to MMP, at least this season anyway. The Stros force me to drink copious amounts of alcohol.

Agree the Heights location is the best of the 3 currently in Houston. Glad to hear that the B/CS location will be following the Heights plan.

By that logic, any bar that serves tacos has better tacos than Fuego.

So it's Taco Bell with booze? No wonder it has fans.

One look at the menu tells you its not Taco Bell...or even remotely close.

Given its location, booze is a good thing. Big win for the TAMU area.

Everything not in CS >>>>>>> anything in CS. TT will be terrible once it's here and y'all will be asking for something else that is so much better.
