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.
I'm teetering between saying it's hype & acknowledging the greatness of their margaritas and Queso Diablo. Stopped in for a quick bite, though wasn't too...
My new favorite place!!! Have you ever tried a fried avocado in a taco??? Well, I sure hadn't before torchy's and it was very delicious! I added chicken...
First time at Torchy's! I had one barbacoa and one carnitas, just with cilantro and lime. Both solid tacos. Next time I'd double up on the pork. Great size...
