    Don't get me wrong...Torchy's makes a tasty, quality taco.

    It's a great spot in Dallas, Austin even...but in H-town? We have many better, cheaper options. No thanks. I'll see you at Tacos Tierra Caliente, El Ray, Taqueria Barba, and 15 other taco joints before you see me at a Torchy's in Houston.

    Oh thank god, MMP had the WORST food options of any ballpark or stadium I've been to. That FiveSeven Grille is pitiful, I've had better quality food at Golden Corral.

    I live in GA, so my tacos are limited compared to Houston (We have plenty of Mexican places, but only one real Taco Place called The Taco Shed). I mean we have Taco Bell and will soon have a Del Taco, but that is obviously a way different thing. If I drive 2 hours there is a Fuzzy's Tacos.

    My tacos were delicious. It is way too damn expensive, but I'm going back next time I see one.

    It is in Minute Maid Park, so it is the best taco joint for the 3-4 hours you are there.

    NYY kind of scares me. Their need for power is real. They're currently 5th in payroll at 136MM in 2017. Who knows.

    I hope we do if it's Encarnacion and it's what's needed to close the deal.

    Also, Otani and Lourdes can get overpaid :)

    No, you're wrong.

    Wonderbread yankees who never grew up around the border need tacos too, I guess.

    Oh god no! Torchy's is terrible! I tried and the food is so no where close to authentic Mexican food. You want real tacos? Try La Michoacana tacos at least which MMP brought just last year. Problem is at MMP the ones making them aren't Mexicans.

    And yes, I'm Mexican so I know what real tacos are.
