Fried avocado and mushroom tacos at Torchys Tacos in Amarillo |
Torchys Tacos started in a food trailer in Austin selling street tacos and is now throughout the southwest, and I stopped in at the location in Amarillo.
I was eager to try a couple of Torchys vegetarian tacos. How it works is you order at the register, then grab a number and take a seat. Your tacos are brought to your table and you can pick extra salsas. Get your tacos on either flour or corn tortillas.
The fried avocado taco has, well, fried avocado. I had mine on a corn tortilla. It comes with vegetarian refried beans, pico de gallo, lettuce and cheese. It comes with poblano sauce but you can get a different salsa if you want. This was really good.
I also had the Independent which is battered & fried portobello mushrooms with black beans (my favorite!), roasted corn, queso, and some avocado. I had mine on a flour tortilla. This was delicious.
I enjoyed an order of green chile queso with chips before the arrival of the tacos. Cheesy, spicy, and delicious! |
