OK, whenever someone claims they've found the most 'iconic taco joint in Texas,' we have to take a look.

We know tacos in Texas. And we know what constitutes a GREAT taco. But iconic? Oh yeah, we can do that, too. And here in Longview and Tyler, Texas, we have many great options.

But back to this outrageous claim at hand. Have the folks at FinanceBuzz really found the most iconic taco joint in Texas?

And what does finance have to do with tacos? Well, I guess we all have to eat, right?

According to a story they shared recently, the most 'iconic taco joint' in Texas is...

Torchy's Tacos. Yep, the one based in Austin, Texas.

Nice pick, FinanceBuzz.

Granted, we were semi-surprised as some assumed they'd pick a non-chain taco place as the most 'iconic.' But then again, one of the things that has made Torchy's such a popular chain is because, well...they make great tacos.

And beans.

And queso.

And omg this is what I'm having for dinner because thankfully we have Torchy's Tacos here in East Texas.

Just FYI, they also shared their opinions on the most iconic taco joints in every U.S. state so if you wanted to take a taco tour road trip, you're all set. Also, tell me when you're leaving so I can hurry up and pack.
