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.

Great tacos on the secret menu . I love the Ace of Spades (jalapeño sausage , brisket , and fried egg ) and the Mad Cow (fajita beef , black beans , and grilled corn )
There are so many places that have great tacos in Austin, but Torchy's Tacos is the best. I highly recommend the Miga !
I decided to go DC style with a pairing of The Democrat and The Republican. However unlike most claiming the same name, the bipartisan pairing of tacos got lunch done in the most glorious fashion!
Must-go for first-time visitors to Texas! Heard the queso is amazing. As for the Salsa , it's got a nice kick to it and probably one of the best I've tried.
Tacos all come in one so just get a few different ones to try everything. The green chile pork and fried chicken tacos were my personal favorites.
Get chips and queso for starters. I had the "Roscoe" (the taco of the month) which is fried chicken , egg , bacon , waffle and syrup on a tortilla . It was mind-blowing.
Loved this new location! Service was fantastic and enjoyed sitting outside. I'm partial to the Trailer Park , trashy style, but don't forget about the secret menu !
Tacos are GIANT and so delicious. Breakfast , lunch or dinner you can't go wrong. Friendly service and nitro cold brew on tap . Oh yeah.
They have a wide variety of tacos and sauces. Everything I tried was great. They also have a (not so) secret menu with even more tacos .
Probably my favorite american style tacos I had in ATX. Barbacoa and carnitas both deliver . Every taco is quite sizeable.
Great queso . Tacos are good but way overrated. Many options in town for much better tacos . Also should be pointed out this particular location has no alcohol , despite the two bars and visible taps.
I recommend ordering your tacos without cheese . Everything we tried was great!
Touristy vibe. Feels like a step above a typical fast food spot. Nice selection of tacos . I liked the Jerk chicken and carnitas . Not a fan of fried catfish .
The best fast food in the world? Excellent tacos and queso .
This is the place to go for unique tacos . Have at ‘em. They also have excellent queso .
The fried avocado and trailer trash tacos were delicious and the ingredients fresh!
If you're trying to watch your caloric intake, get the Brushfire . They are only 270 cals each!
Corn tortillas made in house and gluten free .
Tacos are delish and their Queso is addictive!
Try the breakfast tacos !
I dream of these (breakfast ) tacos and queso
The Democrat and the fried avocado tacos ????
Everything is good! But whatever it is...get the taco of the month. Here’s this months, with Maine Lobster
Wrangler breakfast taco is bomb and they're huge. Don't pass up the queso !
Everything is good but I LOVE the fried avacado and the queso ! Nom Nom Nom
The Alabama Shake taco is ????
Fried avocado and trailer tacos are yummy. Long wait time to order and getting your food.
Green chile pork tacos and queso...yum!
Loved the trailer taco ! & the guacamole is great for sharing!
Migas breakfast taco with chips and queso .
Best migas (breakfast taco ) situation in Austin
I like it very much and much of tacos and chips and queso
Huge tacos ! I liked the fried avocado one
Best tacos I've ever tried in my life. Seriously.
If you come here and you don't get the green chile queso you are doing it wrong.
The queso is some of the best around.... hands down.. ????????
got a delicious salad . But clearly go for tacos
The fried avocado taco is amazing ????????
Only in Austin could a taco chain be better than most offerings in NYC
Always check out the taco of the month!

the queso and chips are the best
Loved the portobello mushroom taco !
Green chilis pork , jerk chicken , and QUESOOOO

Easily the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. There are at least 30 varieties. Excellent outdoor dining area and vibe. - Carl Figueiredo
Known for their breakfast tacos and only open for breakfast and lunch. The pollo fantastico and mojo fish tacos were amazing. - Tiffany
Many brands of boots, not just cowboy style. Worth checking out this institution. - Ms Helene
Delicious coffees and teas. The line gets a little crazy as it has become a tourist spot with the mural, but definitely worth it! - Paige C
This place is excellent for finding nostalgic candies or even imported candies that you can't find anywhere else in the states. I love popping in for some interesting chocolates! - Social News Network
