Tacos y Gorditas Vic is a daytime gordita and taco stand on Avenida Heroico Colegio Militar in central Torreón, operating on a comida-corrida rhythm from 7AM to 4PM rather than an evening dinner service. Gorditas de chicharrón anchor the menu -- corn masa pockets filled with fried pork skin in salsa -- alongside tacos de guisado (stewed-filling tacos, changing by the day) and caldo de res, a beef broth soup typical of a hearty Norteño breakfast or lunch.

Tacos y Gorditas Vic is a daytime gordita and taco stand on Avenida Heroico Colegio Militar in central Torreón, operating on a comida-corrida rhythm from 7AM to 4PM rather than an evening dinner service. Gorditas de chicharrón anchor the menu -- corn masa pockets filled with fried pork skin in salsa -- alongside tacos de guisado (stewed-filling tacos, changing by the day) and caldo de res, a beef broth soup typical of a hearty Norteño breakfast or lunch. This is street-food-level cooking, unfussy and quick, aimed at workers and residents grabbing breakfast or lunch in central Torreón rather than a leisurely sit-down meal. The setting is a simple stand or small storefront with counter or basic table seating, no décor to speak of, and a brisk, functional pace especially around the midday rush. There is no reservation system, no wine list, and pricing sits at the lowest $ tier in this list, reflecting its role as an everyday, affordable eating option. Because tacos de guisado rotate by day, part of the appeal for regulars is checking what stew is available on a given visit, a common feature of Mexican guisado-style taco stands. For visitors wanting an authentic, inexpensive taste of how central Torreón eats on an ordinary weekday, Tacos y Gorditas Vic offers a more grounded alternative to the city's steakhouses and fine-dining rooms.
