Torchy's Tacos

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.

Ahmed Aldihbashi

I love Torchy's tacos. Their chicken fajita taco is perfect. The migas taco is pretty good too. If you go there without ordering the green chile queso , then you've missed the best thing on their menu

Shah

Great if you’re in the area and in the mood for tacos . A tiny bit overrated (the guacamole ), but the Brushfire taco (with Jamaican Jerk Chicken ) was delicious!

Annette Williams

I wasn't expecting these tacos to be so good! The chicken and beef fajita are my favorite! They even make a mean Skinny Margarita ! Torchy's Tacos definitely lived up to all the hype!

Ryan Stephens

Digging the new location. Lines are long during peak times, but the Trailer Park (trashy) is worth it. Also a huge fan of Sept's taco of the month: the Scalleywag.

Steven Gonzalez Jr.

The trailer park is beautiful. Ask what it's called when you do classy and trashy!

Jeff Simmons

Everything. Best tacos you will have. Try the queso . The taco of the month is always a winner.

Zach R

Fast service and delicious tacos . Favorites: The Democrat and The Crossroads.

Clifton M

Good food, cheap , w/ full bar & more parking vs. Rice Village or S. Shepherd locations. Unfortunately line out the door @ lunch , only one register working. Ice machine empty, no cutlery, SLOW service.

Desireé

AMAZING! Loved the vibes, happy hour and the tacos ! Try them all!

David C

Torchy's has their own style of taco , but it's very good. Full bar

Richard Doherty

I agree Baja shrimp tacos - like mine with corn tortillas - and the chile con queso are Great

Neely Stuart

Amy Sotelo

Get Trailer Park and get it extra trashy (add queso ) and their queso and chips are great!!

Veronica Del Valle

The green chile pork taco is superb!!! (Corn tortilla ) ????????

Francisco Rodriguez

Cool environment, nice soda selection, queso is great.

Christina Lynn

Get the one with the jerk chicken . It is very spicy but very good!

Tejas Jani

One of the best Mexican food , I have ever had, for the price!

Brittany Lawnin

Love the breakfast tacos--especially the chorizo & migas !

Melissa McKee

Brisket taco and a Bloody Mary .... A combination made in heaven!

Alejandro Menocal

Shrimp Tacos , and Sausage Tacos are really Good!

Keith Kikta

First be prepared to wait as service is slow. I liked the brushfire but felt like it was more of a novelty that I would most likely not want again. The pork chili while good is not worth the price.

Jamia Staggers

Brushfire is awesome and the queso is the best!

John Varkey

No wait if you get a seat at the bar . Ask for the secret menu .

@jvincephoto

Nothing here is authentic . Why would you settle for this when your in Texas. Just a high end taco bell.

Dy Licata

Extra trashy !

Leroy Stohs

Brushfire fix

Joe Davis

There's a paucity of napkins up in this bitch.

C M

So good. But Adrien is the worst server and has a terrible attitude along with extremely poor customer service.
