El Calentano is worthy. For $16 before tax you get half a chicken that has been brought to perfection over a smoky fire. Crisp skin and meat falling off the bone with some rice, beans, tortillas, salsa verde with kick, and a garnish of both raw and grilled onions AND jalapeños. We split it between two moderately hungry adults and were satisfied. It is simple, it is solid, and for $16 it is a great deal.

I am on a gout diet and so eat meat very rarely. My spouse decided that for one of my rare treats…read moreof meat, we would share a half chicken, beans, and rice. As always, she made a great call. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned, had the right level of smoke, and was nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy. The rice had just the right level of seasoning, and the beans also had a wonderful combination of animal fat, peppers, and onions. Seriously, this was so good, and the meal also came with cooked and raw onions, as well as with cooked and raw jalapeños. Everything was ready within ten minutes, and the person working the truck was friendly and helpful. Not only was the meal incredibly delicious, but it fed two adults for right at twenty dollars. Seriously recommend.

They recently added Brisket Potatoes to the menu, and they are now my absolute favorite! The brisket is tender, flavorful, and loaded onto a perfectly cooked potato--so good!

This seems like a very beloved place. They were so friendly. If the area isn't busy, parking is…read moreclose and easy accessible. The place is small. The whole table didn't enjoy the food at all. There is a ton of pepper in the cheddar jalapeño sausage but I couldn't taste anything else. I thought they gave us the wrong sausage because i couldn't see of taste any cheddar. I can see the jalapeños so I knew it was the correct one. I have found a macaroni and cheese that I can't eat. It wasn't good. They burned my baked potato so I couldn't eat the skin. The one thing I really like was the banana pudding. I know some people really like this place. This BBQ isnt for me or the people at my table.

You can pay and assign a buzzer that lets you know when your food order is ready. I ended up ordering the bonfire bowl with salmon as the protein. The bowl included Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Spinach, Diced Mango, Pickled Onions & Jalapeños, Pistachios, and Avocado sauce. They brought my food to my table when ready. The bowl was a good portion size with 2 salmon filets. The salmon was seasoned well however there was a bone in one of the pieces. I loved the fresh mango and spinach. The rice was very flavorful but was a bit heavy. I was only able to eat half of the bowl and I was full and took the rest to go. We pushed two tables together in the dining area so members of our family could sit together. They had TVs playing sports and other funny clips for entertainment. Overall an enjoyable experience with good food and friendly service.

After three months of being in Texas I think Torchy's may still be my favorite eatery! The food is…read morealways cooked perfectly! The flavor is never lacking! And the price?! Can't beat it (outside a fast food joint). In fact I'm not ashamed to admit that during my first week here I ate from Torchy's twice in the same day! The staff are always professional, well kept, and prompt. Whether dining in or picking up they ensure that every customer is attended to just the same - and they do so with such an epic smile! From grill, to plate, to table - Torchy's Kyle doesn't miss a beat! The big seller for me? The outdoor patio! And, I might have been seeing things, but dare I say they allow your fur-baby to dine with you on the patio?! Always a huge win in my book!

Usually a fan, today was A-ok…read more I'd seen their $3 specials menu available Tuesday/Thursday and finally got my act together to try it. Good variety to choose from, I opted for a sausage wrap and a chicken taco. Added a potato salad and a coke from the fridge, bringing it to just over $10 after tax and before tip. Now this is the budget menu--don't be expecting fancy toppings on your taco. You're getting carb and meat. The sausage is short but fat, has good flavor and one wrap would do me for lunch. The chicken taco was not enormous, but generous with the chicken. It was well seasoned if on the dry side; both sausage and pollo were hot, smoky, and grilled tasty. So no onion/chiles, lettuce/tomato, no problem. Here's where it got weird. When I went to open the included standard shots of condiments, the bbq sauce was watery and my beloved jalapeño ranch....wasn't ranch. I think it was jalapeño mayo? Glad they came on the side, as I chose not to use them. An unusual glitch in smooth service for a year but I have to report honestly. If you're taking it home or carry Yellowbird sauce in your purse or car, you'll be fine. As it is, I was glad I'd ordered the potato salad to help that taco go down. Despite the off condiments, I'm happy with my budget items and I'll gladly try everything else on that $3 list outside of the corn dog. My usual caveat: I don't do big plates of carne here, just snacks and thick sandwiches. Love their late night hours, tons of parking, 95% friendly service. Their pork sliders are a solid bargain, and I'm a sucker for their Texas tots, stoner mac, and usually excellent jalapeño ranch.

I wanted a…read morepretzel bun, and although they were out of pretzel buns, the sourdough bun -- toasted, natch -- was absolutely delicious. The burger was great: the meat was tasty, and the fried egg and bacon added just the right amount of flavor. Also, I got lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles to take away. There could have been more lettuce, but that is a minor nitpick. Fries were quite tasty, and all told, it hit the spot. I shared the burger and fries with Mrs. R. because as a forty-four-year-old who still wants to fit in his pants, I can't eat the full burger and fries. As always, great place, open late, and tasty.

They come out with the black blister marks and great hearty texture that reminds me of when my grandma would make tortillas. I most always go in and order to-go but have dined in a few times. The service is always tip top every time. I have never had a bad interaction here and the staff is always friendly. Outside of breakfast tacos the other Tex-Mex fare is really good as well. They have beer and liquor as well. So if you want a beer or marg with your meal, you are set. This place is just a gem of a mom and pop shop that delivers the Tex-Mex goods. Oh and they have a drive-thru as well.

We've been to this place a few times before, which is why this experience was really disappointing…read more When we visited recently, we noticed roaches crawling around in the dining area while we were there. It immediately made us uncomfortable and definitely affected the whole experience. We almost left, but since we were already there and didn't want to go somewhere else, we decided to stay and give it a chance. Unfortunately, after seeing that, it was hard to enjoy the food and the overall experience just wasn't good. Another thing that stood out is how dark and dim the restaurant is inside. It makes it hard to see much around you, which honestly made us wonder about the cleanliness after what we saw. We had been here multiple times before without noticing anything like this, so it was surprising and really disappointing this time.
