This Austin-based up-and-coming taco joint just made its debut in Waco around a month ago, with lines trailing out the door. A hot spot for taco lovers, Torchy's taco combinations are mouth-watering to say the least.
And that Fried Avocado Taco? That thing rocks my world.
Neither Hildawg and I had tried Torchy's before, but, hungry after a photo shoot, we found ourselves standing in line, gazing up at the menu.
Both of us selected to order the Democrat and Fried Avocado tacos. They were absolutely fantastic.

But to every silver lining, there's a cloud. Torchy's is not for those on a college budget. Our four tacos and one drink added up to about $20. Those tacos were expensive. The average price for one taco is around $3-$4. When you get more than one, coupled with drinks and chips, your money will fly out of your wallet faster than feathers in a tornado.
I was only able to eat there because my companion was paying for my photo services. For my first freelance job, I was paid in tacos.
Think wisely before you step inside. Those tacos may be calling your name, but if you can't afford them, save up. And don't go every week (even for the avocados).
A delicious alternative in Waco is Rosa's, a Tex-Mex place not too far away that has cheap, but delicious, tacos. Especially on Tuesdays. Or you can always stick with Taco Bell.
