The Best Queso In Austin

"We’re not huge fans of the tacos at Torchy’s, but we can’t deny that they make some excellent queso. The cheese stays soft and melty for far longer than it should—probably due to some combination of witchcraft and chemicals—and there’s plenty of green chili in it, adding a little kick and a bit of earthiness. Torchy’s queso is worth the trip alone—stop by just for that and a drink—but if you’re looking for great tacos, we’ve got plenty of other spots we’d recommend first.  What we got: Green chili queso and chips" - nicolai mccrary
