    Good stuff. Got the fried chicken taco. They need sides with their tacos though.

    The fried avocado taco is incredible. It has some catchy name, but I don't know it.

    I know they have one called the Dirty Sanchez. Wish they had breakfast plates and didn't charge 3 bucks for chips though.

    Pretty good food. But I went on Saturday for lunch, and asked for a few extra chips to go with my queso. They looked at me like I was asking for a key into Fort Knox. The guy gave them to me, but it was a bit strange.

    yeah, they charge for chips. If you charge, refills should be free.

    Torchy's employees are Whole Foods wannabes.

    Since when is 28th and guadalup south austin?
    I like this place, but $20 for tacos for 2 people is a little steep. It is BYOB though, even if they don't advertise it.

    although i appreciate some of their creativity, i was certainly not impressed. now i should say that consider myself a taqueria expert. i may have ordered the wrong thing (i believe it was the trailer park - fried chicken wrap basically), and something else that was better... but....

    I really only have one legitimate complaint. they did not heat heat the tortillas long enough to make them very pliable.... so the torillas ripped apart. that is amateur stuff.

    maybe it was just a bad day. went to the one on west 6th.

    Big mistake. The Trailer Park is disgusting. The rest of the menu is phenomenal.
