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 overhear...

Some of the best Tacos in Austin. Breakfast , lunch , or dinner . Green Chili pork can't be beat. Make it trashy! And they add queso . Speaking of queso , don't miss the green chili queso .
An Austin required eatery . Get something awesome and slather it in Diablo sauce . Lines can get long but the food is incredible.
I recommend the Baja Shrimp and Green Chili Pulled Pork . Parking is atrocious at this location so be prepared for a hike when coming to eat. And forget about drive-thru during the lunch rush.
After countless recommendations of being the best place to visit in Austin while visiting; I wild recommend everyone to go there.
Order online and use the designated online order pickup register for speedy service!
Not a bad taco on the menu! I go with queso to start, and then either Crossroads, Baja Shrimp , or Green Chile Pork--all on corn tortilla !
These guys have the most original, creative tacos in Austin. No crispy tacos with ground beef here (those aren't even tacos ). Try their Democrat or Republican, or their Green Chile Pork taco , or their
Everything. Mix and match your favorite tacos . Also try the breakfast tacos too! So good.
Queso is the best I've ever had!! Also trailer park is the only thing I've gotten. Too good to pass up.
Green chile queso is amazing! So is the Trailer Park Trashy.
Cut the line with online order! Then just smile at all the folks you just skipped over.
"The Dirty Sanchez is a vegetarian hangover helper that's every bit as sloppy and satisfying as its meatier counterparts."
My first introduction of Torchys. . I love the vast array of tacos.. very cool spot!:-)
Even if you've been in here ten dozen times, always, always, ALWAYS check out the Taco of the Month. If it doesn't sound appetizing , settle for a Brushfire or Democrat instead, you communist.
Try the Crossroads Taco - Really good brisket in this taco .
I am obsessed with the trailer park ... Do yourself a favor and make it trashy! The street corn is new and also amazing!
The Dirty Sanchez and fried avocado tacos and #1 & #2 best choices, respectively. Oh and make sure to have them on flour tortillas .
Amazing service, great tacos !
Get the breakfast tacos and the brisket taco !
If drive thru is backed up before the ordering board, park and go inside - its typically fast and you might run into someone you know.
August Taco of the Month Looks good. Ask for the Scallywag, coconut breaded shrimp , bacon , jack cheese , pickled onions
When they have the ace of spades for taco of the month, get it to go! The wrapper keeps it together so u can eat it instead of wearing it.
Always try the monthly special. It never disappoints!
A bit pricy , you pay per taco , but there's a lot of filling in each one, plus their delicious and fresh tasting
Democrat ... Republican... Come to a bipartisan compromise and order both. The Trashy Trailer Park is fantastic, too.
Google the secret menu before going. The Trailer Park - Hillbilly style is amazing!
Best Taco place in town . PERIOD! Love the trailer park . Just reguar, not trashy. Queso is FANTASTIC.
One of the best bargains in town . Try the Ranch Hand on flour or corn tortilla . The Diablo sauce rocks! Read more
Try the Libertarian this month (May 2011). Like libertarianism, it's sooooooo good at first, and then the reality of it leaves you sick to your stomach.
Love the food, dan good tacos , but damn slow also. Eat here only if you have time to Han a while, NEVER if you are trying to grab a bite on the way to work.
The Democrat is a great choice for a first time visit. Plenty of taste. Not too much risk.
Get the Roscoe - fried chicken , fried egg , a waffle and a slice of bacon .
The Migas breakfast taco is awesome!!!!! For lunch , try the Democrat !
Get anything except the Brush Fire. They seem to always use crunchy, green, unripe mangos which are not at all suitable for eating.
The Mr. Pink on corn is good, but the tuna can be dried out sometimes. Go for the trailer park trashy and always skip the drive-thru on weekends... takes too long might as well go in.
The Trashy Trailer Park is a staple. Best queso in town .
Crossroads tacos are amazing!
Don't park at the daycare ! They will tow. The daycare provides the tow truck drivers with the list of people allowed to park there. It is a $200 mistake.
All you need is the queso and chips ... Trust me...
The Baja shrimp taco is amazing! I leave off the cabbage slaw .
Oh my gosh, the street corn was AMAZING.
Drive through is worth the wait as long as you show up before noon.
The fried avocado with no lettuce and the green chile pork
Get a brushfire taco or 2 and have then place a fried avocado ok top of each. Delicious.
the fried avocado taco is a great vegetarian option & very yummy
Tip from the mayor: The Mr. Pink taco is it! Seared ahi tuna , rubbed with spices and other amazing toppings all for $4!
Can ya stomach a Dirty Sanchez (scrambled eggs , guacamole , fried poblano chili , escabeche carrots , cheese , poblano ranch sauce )? Check in while driving through and prove it. Read more
If you are in a hurry, order online, and just pickup your order. The online ordering system works well .
March Taco o' the month: Ace of Spades - grilled jalapeno sausage , smoked brisket , fried egg , green chili queso...How can you not love these guys? Read more
Try the Baja Shrimp Tacos - It's a burst of heaven in your mouth. So flavorful!
Don't forget the sauces! My favorite is the roja on pollo en mole - Alex Gronbach
Try the Regio for your pure beef fix. Excellent Taco & a steal too. - Roger Albert
Love this place. Try everything! But catch the hatch chile enchiladas special if you can. - Matthew Hanlon
Very clean and nice theater. Plenty of places to eat around, as well; everything from sushi to tacos to cheesecake. - Shani S
