A long time ago, in the bustling town of Austin, Texas, a man named Mike Rypka bought a food trailer and a red Vespa. His dream? To start a taco joint. Like all great chefs, he filled his first menu with more experiments than meals — and thanks to some trips around town on his Vespa, and overheard iterations of "Damn, these tacos are good!" at the food trailer, it was declared a hit.
The rest is history. Well, history in-the-making.
With countless tacos eaten, over 60 locations opened, and thousands of Taco Junkies added to the Torchy’s family, some things have certainly changed, but the dedication to making high-quality, cooked-to-order, Damn Good tacos remains the same.
Though each Torchy's location has its own unique and different design, the commitment to top-notch ingredients is found in all our kitchens. To serve up the best of the best, we focus on developing partnerships around the world to responsibly source the finest ingredients. We believe in our fine partners, their missions, and putting our best food forward together.
Charlie is killing it today! Amazing, friendly service and delicious food! Tastes just like I remember it back in Houston and Austin! Can't wait to come back!
Nice little spot right across from tiger stadium. Tacos are good size, plus they're tasty as well. Always good to check it out
Love Torchy's! The Green Chili Queso + Chips is a must try. Queso topped with guacamole, Cotija cheese, cilantro and Diablo sauce. Delicious! Go on Taco...
