Any updates on when this new restaurant may open? Saw an SDN article in August about it targeting a January 2019 opening in Midtown but haven't heard anything else about it. http://starkvilledailynews.com/node/124270

Did I read that this Taco place is going to add 40 jobs to the economy? Talking about the old chamber of commerce spin machine... I know 1 lady at a gas station in Dallas that can pump out a shitload of the best tacos you ever had.

I'm no restaurant expert, but 40 total employees (some part-time) sounds reasonable to me assuming it is full service, open 7 days a week lunch and dinner, and has a bar.

The restaurant, which will be operated by Eat Local Starkville, will now open on University Drive, immediately next door to sister restaurant City Bagel in the new development created by the Camp family.

The completion of the building is the hold up currently I do believe

Torchy’s is the tits, but are they outside if central Texas yet?

I’d settle for a Fuzzy’s. They’re popping up around the Southeast now.

Torchy's makes good tacos, but they are by far the most overpriced, over-hyped tacos of any current chain. Torchy's is a contest to see how much extra weird crap they can throw in a taco to get a few more dollars out of it. They are all around me, and while good, $4-$5 for one small taco--and nothing else--is a rip off. I agree that Fuzzy's can be every bit as good (though some Fuzzy's locations get lazy and make dried-out crap tacos).

I'm not much of a taco eater. Is one taco chain really that much better than the others? Not being a taco aficionado I just asking. If I'm eating Mexican I'm gonna need a shrimp chimichanga with a bottle of salsa poured over the top.

Aren't some burger chains better than others? Pizza? Subs? Ice cream?

Not trying to be a dick here but are some people just born with ****** tastebuds?

What? No mention of Taco Casa in this thread? Criminal. I used to swap out my break Chick Fil A sandwich for a chili burrito from the Taco Casa guy at least once a week back in the day.

Torchys has amazing queso. But their taco selection is just ok to me. And they are high priced. Solid place, but not the Mecca a lot of folks make it out to be.

Totally agree. I know you're down here in Houston, too, md . . . High-priced taco's and Tex-Mex is becoming too much of a thing.

Yep. I’m beginning to dislike how much a plate of food costs at Pappasitos and El Tiempo also. Can’t find a decent taco plate under $15 bucks anywhere nowadays.

Timeout. I need to know where this gas station is. I've never tried many gas station tacos but would be willing to if they are recommended
And Torchys is the ****. They range from $3.50 to $4.50 and two is plenty especially with that fire queso

Tacos 4 Life in Arkansas and Oklahoma is darn good. Pricey but good. Pappasitos is the bomb. I never get any menu items because I cant get past the the Matador Nachos.

I live in the Houston area, too. Torchy's costs too much and has too much grease!

Forget Humble. Forget Fuzzy’s. Forget Torchy’s. Build a Taco Sombrero franchise in Starkville. It works in Guffport. It works in Biloxi. It will work soon in Ocean Springs. It would be the envy of North and Central Mississippi.

Gas station is called the Green Spot, it's a little granola gas station at Buckner (Loop 12) and Northcliff about a half mile east White Rock Lake in Dallas. Stop by after 9:30 am for the Especial Breakfast Taco, (before 9:30 she is only cooking potato, sausage, or bacon tacos to be wrapped and sold inva warmer by the register.) The especial has all three and I am pretty sure you will hear the pig squeal as the hipster cuts the bacon off his side.... Say what you want about urban hippies, but they have that farm fresh **** down and it shows at this little Taco stop.

While you're in the hood, stop by Goodfriend Package Store for the best breakfast biscuit in the universe. My go-to is the farm egg on beer biscuit with thick bacon piled high and an aged New York sriracha white cheddar cheese. $6.00 and worth double. Again, hipsters can do food right.

That's another gas station in McKinney TX. A buddy of mine used to fire employees for going there at lunch, they would come back with a mean case of Montezuma's Revenge.

I found a screenshot of the menu... Everyone likes authentic till they see the translation means pig guts...

Thanks for that. In return I will direct you to La Victoria on Haskell for the best damn breakfast burrito I've found in town. They are only open like 7-2 and not on Sundays. Pretty good spot, also have bomb tamales.
Place is cheap also

Taco Sombrero is good. Burrito Zone in D'Iberville (and soon to be Gautier) is where it's at though.
