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!



Unique vegetarian Mexican food can be hard to find, so be sure to check out Torchys Tacos.

Check out the Tochys Tacos web site for their locations across the southwest.

I've had dinner at the Big Texan before, but today I arrived in the morning and had breakfast. Full disclosure: I've also had the breakfast before, too. This ain't my first time here by any means.
