This is one of my MOST favorite dishes in town. The first time I tried it, I had it three days in a row! However, the combination of flavors is the bomb! Genius. Try it with their queso and diablo sauce and you're in Heaven.
I've tried many of the tacos at Torchy's and this is by far my favorite. Not only is the name fun to order (imagine an innocent-looking woman ordering a Dirty Sanchez), but the ingredients are the best: eggs (menu says scrambled, but I think it's a fried egg), fried poblano chilis, escabeche carrots, guacamole, and cheese. I think what really makes the taco are the carrots. They're crisp matchsticks in a great vinegar marinade. I probably wouldn't be as crazy about the dish if they removed the carrots--my rating would probably go down to a 7 or 8 without them.
