In week four of the quest to find Waco's best burrito, we find ourselves deep in the heart of Waco's notorious "Grease Pit" (area directly across the highway from Baylor University filled with fast food restaurants). This week the lucky subject of review is Torchy's Tacos, which is located just off I-35 on 5 St near Wendy's, McAllisters, In-N-Out and several other chain restaurants. During week four, we sought to return to a beloved Baylor student favorite after a not so satisfying week three Ninfa's experience.
This week I am again solely accompanied by Griffin. However, this "Bro Date" was far more casual in comparison to last week's edition of the quest.

As I previously said, Torchy's Tacos is a local favorite and generally filled with hungry college students in the mood for a unique taste and dining experience. That being said, 2:30 p.m. on a Thursday proved to be a very different experience as we were part of just a handful of people in the restaurant. In general, a customer would likely have to wait in a line that is through the front door; however, on this occasion we merely walked to the counter and placed our orders. After paying, we received our cups and order numbers then proceeded to fill our drinks and find a cosy seat to await our foods arrival.
After a few minutes pass, I notice an employee making their way towards our table. My "burrito senses" began tingling as they neared and ultimately handed me my burrito, which would prove to have a very short lifespan. Within my "Grande Burrito" was black beans, rice, pico de gallo, cheese, chicken fajita and guacamole. I somehow remained courteous and waited for Griffin's food to arrive moments later before biting into the lovely burrito. But alas, the time came and upon biting into the burrito a variety of delicious flavors filled my mouth. The burrito was of premier taste and quality, which was very evident as I quickly finished it in a matter of a couple of minutes.
Prior to this week, "Taco Z" (Taqueria Zacatecas) was sitting comfortably atop Waco's "Burrito Throne." But after the fine offerings of Torchy's Tacos, there is a new crown holder in town. Competition for Waco's best burrito is now heating up as two very worthy opponents have now entered the playing field. As of this moment, if you are in Waco and desiring a burrito I would fully recommend that you make your way on over to Torchy's Tacos.
