Torchy's Tacos
No stars
" I just didn’t care enough for the food or the experience here to return. It gives me no pleasure to report that. I still have vivid memories of that perfect Torchy’s lunch under the oaks in Austin, as the summer heat hinted that it might soon unclench and give way to fall. "
(J.Patric Schneider/For the Chronicle)
I agree with Alison about Torchy's Tacos. One visit was enough for me
alison cook is the worst food critic in america.
Sour grapes,Torchy?
You're just jealous because Alison has more style in her little finger than you have in your entire body.
P.S. Alison hates you. She curses the day that you were born.
I agree!
Please give Torchy's at least a star. I ate it in Austin around Thanksgiving, the one off 620. It was not too shabby.
I thought this was about Houston joints ... not Au'tin !
Agreed! Please seek a trnsfer to the Statesman...
Somebody's a Kinky fan...
Is there a way to get to the best restaurants without clicking through 34 photos? If not, I won't read this.
Click on "Back to Gallery" above the left upper corner of the photo and pick whichever photo you think that is.
Alison, I bet my comments won't see lighht of day
4 stars...who gives a shiite about the NATIONAL STAGE...you got dreams of being a national food critic tear your butt on out of here
snotty, pretentious looking down nose sucks almost as much as a four star rating.
I know your ignorant bosses think slideshows are cool for clicks....but they should be glad ANYONE still reads this liberal rag.
When I go out to eat, could give a rat's butt about presentation, only stuck up ignorant moronic wannabes worry about presentation and that is so they can act like they somoen special and above the peons...if that's your take Alison...sTICK IT
Replies like this really make me want to rethink that freedom of speech thing. Now we know you've got an opinion ... too bad it caqme from your anal sphincter.
Someone must have forgotten to take their medication today. There, there, everything will be OK. You just rest a bit.
Why are you so angry? Allison is giving her opinion about FOOD and a restaurant. That is, after all, her job. It's not a personal attack on you.
Your reaction,however, is scary. Very scary.
Dude it's just a taco joint review...just relax and breathe deep....okay, do you feel better now?
I only skimmed your post because you sound barely literate, but your presentation comment reminded me...I just returned from Vegas where I was served tapas in a shoe. They set a shoe down on the table. What the hell? I know this anecdote is irrelevant but I'm still absolutely mystified by this.
Hey Allison,
You must have binders full of restaurant reviews
@anonymous24: click on the back to gallery link and you can pick any photo/review you want. Just one click away. Wonders of technology.
The reporter would not know a real restaurant from a hole in the ground
I have been to many of her "Recommendation". YECH!
