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.

Tasty! Avoid the tortilla if you want and get your tacos in a bowl with shredded lettuce on the bottom.
Get the brushfire on corn . It comes with two tortillas . Make two skinny tacos . It's much more manageable that way. I get extra diablo sauce . It's super hot but flavorful.
Word to the wise: ask for the Mad Cow (beef fajitas , black beans , grilled corn ) and Missionary-style Pork (slow-roasted pork w/ guacamole ) from the top-secret #sacred menu and thank me later.
Amazing tacos . Don't forget they serve breakfast ... 1 taco is all you need to start the day right!

Love everything about this place. Fried avocado taco is the best. Queso and guac are on point
Go for the Ace of Spades on the secret menu . Sausage , brisket , cheese , queso , diablo sauce , sour cream and a fried egg . It made me a believer.
The Ranch Hand is a great way to start the day. Also, the Little Nookies are awesome!
The ace of spades is the best off-menu item in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Austin. Read more
You really can't go wrong here.. The Baja Shrimp is my favorite taco though, and they have Maine Root sodas !!
Seriously can't go wrong with any of the tacos , plus the cheesy corn is amazing!
Great food. Be prepared to wait. Lines out the door and only one person taking orders where there are 3 computers. Tons of empty tables.
The queso is amazing! It has a blob of guacamole and some of their spicy Diablo sauce on top.
The naughty Santa is off the menu and amazing. Chorizo and shrimp with avocado . Get it.
Fried avocado taco . Go for the off menu item the ace of spades if you're feeling extra hungry.
Baja shrimp is my favorite. The sides are good, queso is the best in Austin, and nookies are delicious.
Seriously good tacos . Get the queso and chips , trailer park (trashy), the democrat, and the green chile pork .
Best queso I have ever had. Always get it! And try the street corn , you might surprise yourself.
Yea u know about it. Must get queso . Fried avocado taco is very good
Be sure to check their online secret menu ! Some of the best tacos in town (or anywhere else).
Best guac in town . Darn good tacos as well
Great tacos , very authentic , absolutely fantastic queso , and very quick service
Without the cheese , the Fried Avocado and Independent are vegan taco yummmmmy!!
Alright, sure order the Trailer Park Trashy style, but eat it first above a Green Chili Pork taco so you'll never have to regret losing some of that lovely queso .
If you're hungry and not particularly partial to a political party, try both The Republican and The Democrat. Goodness knows they've got my vote!!
Tired of the monk? Ask for a jack of clubs or an ace of spades for a kick ass breakfas.t taco . Not for the faint of heart
The Democrat is my go-to order. Great price, great taste!
The brushfire is so hot it'll make you sweat. Fave taco on the menu hands down.
Order from Torchy's Secret Online menu. <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/198mdi/torchys_tacos_sacred_secret_menu/"target="_blank" data-sig="5b8LCIozEbY1IJNYZtbT035Yx4U=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/198mdi/torchys_tacos_sacred_secret_menu/</a>
Everything is so good. You cannot go wrong.
A normal sized human should be satisfied with two tacos . I suggest you push limits and eat more.
Order from the Secret Menu online. http://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/198mdi/torchys_tacos_sacred_secret_menu/
Order online and take it to go! Always ready when I get there...and, no line if you get take out !
Get the Street Corn : it's $3.95 for the best roasted corn you'll ever put in your mouth!
Way less hectic than the SoCo location and just as delicious.
The tacos have changed. Really has a chain feel now. ????
Love there queso and green chili pork taco
Some of the best breakfast tacos I've ever had
Trailer park hillbilly style. Eight syllables, four syllables that will change your life.
Diablo sauce is clutch. Also green chili pork and chorizo egg and cheese are baller!!
I always order the Brushfire ! Sweet, spicy , delicious.
Get the Dirty Sanchez and add smoked beef brisket ! Best taco ever!!
Order the Mad Cow or Trailer Park Hillbilly-both off the almost-secret menu.
I finall tried the monk special, it goes hard for breakfast ! And filling enough before a river float. Read more
You'll regret getting only one deep-fried cookie dough ball. Trust me.
Ace of Spades was too much for me but a description of any other off menu tacos appreciated.
The breakfast tacos are my favorite. And they have Maine Root sodas at the fountain !
The drinks are great here, don't get just a water cup. The Dirty Sanchez is fantastic!
If you like pulled pork , and see this tip in September, try the Washingtonian.
