Torchy’s - the DIRTY SANCHEZ! [nsfw]
“Hey man, You got something on your lip there…” “Shiit, that’s juss my Dirty Sanchez muthafucka”
If you want a more in-depth look at Torchy’s Taco’s- check out Chappy’s full review Here.
Today I only have eyes for one taco, and Holy Hell! Just got a chance to try the newest spawn of the fanatical quasi-breakfast taco dogma. It was a Revelation, or perhaps a Genesis. On the eighth day, Torchy shot his (proverbial) wad and created THE DIRTY SANCHEZ. I must admit it was the first time I’d been on the receiving end of this tasty treat…and for a dash of irony- its a meatless taco. Here’s the fillins:
Big Flour Tortilla filled with
fluffy EGGS
Tempura-fried POBLANO pepper
CHEESE
Pickled CARROT spears
Topped with Poblano-RANCH dressing
So, the tempura-fried poblano was the Alexis Amore of this gangbang, with the creamy ranch and tangy carrots playing perfect supporting roles (maybe Peter North and um…Carrot-top?), all melding into a greater-than-their-parts euphoria of taste, texture and smell. I heard thunder-claps, and visions of Dustin Diamond’s Saved by the Smell danced in my dome. Fuckin great taco and major props to Torchy’s for the balls to call it the Dirty Sanchez….
In the 24hrs since Taking the Sanchez, I’ve been flirting with the idea of this taco de-throning my longtime favorite alt-breakfast taco- Tatiana’s Tamale Taco at Maudie’s…But alas- Cabeza is never one to make a hasty decision. I’ll have to eat one more Sanchez to confirm the new champ..
oh yeah- I also had a beef fajita taco- which was amazing and also deserves props…If I can take my mind off the Sanchez for a second, then i’ll add to this post…

New alt-breakfast taco champ confirmed!
I went back to Torchy’s after a dip in Barton Creek and a few beers, got the Sanchez. yes it was as good as i’d advertised. thereby confirming its status as my favorite alt-breakfast taco in all of Taco Town. Tatiana had a good run…

@ Cabeza - As I follow this blog religiously, I went out to Torchy’s, Maudies, and Rudy’s to try their alt tacos. I also went to a few other restaurants to put things into context. I’m not going to disupte your mentions here, but I would bump the Rudy’s offering to the #2 spot.
Also, to the readers who haven’t already clicked it, the alexis amore link is NSFW. I got a bit of a talking to from the IT guy at my office. Luckily, he’s my friend!

Don’t fear the monk’s special over there at torchy’s either..though I’ve found that taco size at torchy’s has diminished since may…this might not be the worst thing, the sanchez used to be almost too big…
As good as Torchy’s is, and its two meals a day, five days in a row good, can’t betray Maria’s when discussing breakfast tacos…chorizo egg and cheese and her migas have never let me down…
