Torchy Smakk
I picked up the Bunny at the Austin airport around 10pm on Thursday evening to start our nice long weekend of fun in South Texas. Being that it was already too late to grab any traditional dinner flare in the area, I decided to try somewhere different for us. So with a Captain road soda in the cup holder, we took our rented bright red Grand Prix over to Torchy's Tacos in the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery. And what could possibly be better than pulling up to a polished silver Streamline taco stand parked on a dirt field with plastic tables and chairs? Only one thing...the tacos. Out of the many good choices from the grilled jalapeño sausage "Republican" to the egg and avocado "Dirty Sanchez", I gotta say my favorite was the "Trailer Park". This beauty in a flour tortilla is made up of fried chicken, green chilis, lettuce and pico. But even better is to get it "Trashy", which is sub the lettuce for queso. This was so good it should be considered it's own food group. And thank god that the Austin Motel gives you an extra roll of toilet paper....
