Absolutely. The negativity around here is shocking sometimes.

Agreed. I'll probably stop eating it completely.

Yup! Everybody will say how the Houston ones are so much better and this one sucks. Saw it with Lupe's.

"Lupe's" was not great when it first opened here. They have gotten much better.

True that. The first week they opened, they nearly had as many staff on hand as customers, yet they we're hopelessly overwhelmed. One of their managers poured an incorrect margarita back into the machine in front of a bar full of people. Longest food order time I've seen in years. Even the refried beans were lousy. They couldn't help but improve.

They sucked so bad they could only get better

Eagerly awaiting the "Torchy's is open" thread when it finally opens. It will be legendary.

I'll see your Torchy's opening thread and raise you a Cafe Eccell re-opening thread.

That is one thing I'm more excited about than TT. Need some ahi tuna in my life.

As someone who ate Torchy's every Friday for my cheat meal when we lived in Dallas, I'm super excited to finally get one in Aggieland! Their queso? Sinful. Guacamole? Mmm. And, for the amount and quality of food, $3-4/taco isn't too bad. I usually can only eat 1. Mouth is already watering!

Torchy's needs to hurry up...

I've been to the Torchy's in Dallas (White Rock area I think) and it was outstanding. Not only is the food great, but the atmosphere is fun as well.

Here is the Layne's, Scully, Cane's dilemma. I just coined that.


Fuego, Taco Cabana, and Torchi's.

Fuego will be fine, and Torchi's will be fine. They have a superior product.

I think all three will be fine. The problem with FD was going in basically pretending to be a third cheap chicken finger place but with beer and TVs was a mistake (it really wasn't, it was more of a sports bar that served chicken-based products)

And remember, Casa Olé and Chuy's co-exist at the mall.

Calling anything 'The Heights' in Houston smacks of over-the-top pretentiousness.

No sh*t! You'd think CS would have one by now with as many children as the Pappa's brothers have sent to A&M...

Pappadeaux's, Saltgrass, Torchy's. Life is looking up for culinary options in BCS.

Life has been looking up for culinary options here since the 1990s.

It did take a hit when the Flying Tomato closed down.

Made up for it when Christopher's, Madden's, Veritas, and The Republic opened.

New Cafe Eccel will make it a grand slam. Four allsome restaurants opening this fall.
FlyRod

I'm going to give the "grand slam" award to Chef Tai's new restaurant. And a follow up one when Peter Madden opens his taco place. Glad to see our talented local chefs expanding here. Now if Tai opens his own taco place next, Katy bar the door!

"Restaurant Obscuro" will always be trumped by the great ones in this town.
FlyRod
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Such negativity....

Techno how do you reconcile your contempt of obscure local restaurants with your love of CMac's restaurants, which are very local, and some might argue, the very epitome of "Restaurant Obscuro?" Are you suggesting that you actually prefer Sonic to Flip & Peel?

Saltgrass will open by fall, and Torchy's should too (my personal prediction is that they'll open in early August to crushing summer crowds). That bar on Northgate that's replacing Loupot's probably won't. Pappadeaux depends on S&W moving out, which they have yet to do (realistically, I don't see PDX opening until fall 2015)
