Torchy's Tacos

* Full on Shitting My Pants

Ahhh, Torchy's Tacos, where have you been all my life?!?

If you haven't experienced Torchy's Tacos (located off of Shepherd close to Westheimer), you're really missing out!  They have some delicious tacos with interesting ingredients like fried avocado, barbacoa, queso fresco, and escabecha carrots paired with some pretty spunky sauces.  The best part is that there are 3 or 4 Vegetarian options which includes something they call Street Corn.  I won't even bother to describe how A.MAZ.ING it is, you'll have to check it out for yourself.  But I suggest you get that shit to go because their BS (bathroom situation) is one of the worst I've ever seen!

I tend to think that if you're an establishment that sells or serves a diuretic or beans of any kind then you need to have more than ONE FUCKING BATHROOM STALL!  

At first glance Torchy's BS looks ok.  It's easy to find, right behind the soda machine down a small hallway, and it looks pretty spacious. It had two stalls, one handicap, and a nice granite countertop.  Once I got into the smaller stall however, I felt very cramped, and I'm a pretty petite person, I mean I wear a size 5 shoe and my hands look like a child's hands and at 5 months pregnant I'm a solid 100 lbs.  I'm just saying, I don't take up that much space, but I seemed to take up ALL the space in this one stall at Torchy's.  




And you can sort of see that the stall wasn't the cleanest.  You know how I hate open waste baskets!  Who thinks that's a good idea?  Especially in a women's room?!?  Women are like cats, we like to leave no sign or trace of our waste or filth, we have this need to COVER OUR SHIT UP!  Men, men don't care, they have no shame.  And to add to the uncomfortableness of the TI.NY stall and the dirty floors, there was no purse hook!  Oh, ok, I guess I'll hold my purse in my lap as I take a dump.  MAKES. NO. SENSE!  And as I sat there holding my purse, taking a dump, I realized how I was shitting in complete SILENCE!  No good Torchy's, no good at all.  Once I was done I thought I would check out the other handicap stall but . . .



Then I noticed this sign on the floor...  NO, that must be a mistake.  So I pulled on the handle, NOPE, locked, shut down, OUT OF ORDER!!!  And this is how they let people know?  With a sign on the floor sticking halfway out of the stall?  Guuuuuuuuuurl!


So it looks like this BS is a one staller (AND it's a small stall) where other people can come into the bathroom and just stand there and listen while they wait for you to finish your business.  AND it's an establishment that sells beans, lots and lots of beans!  Worst. Bathroom. Situation. IMAGINABLE!

I ran out of there and told my husband to,"get those tacos to go baby, no way in hell I'm eating here!" And just when I thought Torchy's Tacos BS couldn't get any worse, I noticed when I went to fill up my soda cup that someone was now cleaning the bathroom and had SHUT DOWN the entire bathroom and hall!  I couldn't believe it.  In fact, I think a little nervous diarrhea slipped out of my ass when I saw the entire BS was temporarily shut down.  I couldn't get out of there quick enough!
