A Passionate Journey from Food Trailer to Taco Empire
Torchy’s Tacos began with a humble dream in Austin, Texas, when founder Mike Rypka set out to create a taco joint unlike any other. Armed with a food trailer and a red Vespa, Rypka crafted an experimental menu that won over customers with its bold and creative offerings. From its early days of word-of-mouth praise to expanding to over 90 locations nationwide, Torchy’s has stayed true to its commitment: delivering high-quality, cooked-to-order tacos.
Beyond tacos, Torchy’s takes pride in its dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients through responsible partnerships worldwide. This sustainability focus extends to the restaurant's practices, with eco-friendly packaging and even turning used cooking oil into fuel. Torchy’s also gives back, supporting causes like cancer research, childhood enrichment, and addiction recovery, with a portion of the proceeds from every Taco of the Month going toward these efforts.
Savor the Menu: From Classic to Creative Tacos
Torchy’s menu is brimming with bold choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Start your day with their hearty Breakfast Tacos, like the savory MIGAS or The Wrangler, perfect for satisfying morning cravings. For taco lovers, signature offerings like the Green Chile Pork or the crowd-favorite Trailer Park—Keepin’ It Trashy are not to be missed. Looking for something seasonal? The*Baja Salmon Taco is a limited-time treat this October.
Vegetarians and vegans will find plenty to enjoy, including the Fresh Avocado Taco and the vegan-friendly Fo Sho. Sides like the Hillbilly Queso + Chips or the award-winning Green Chile Queso are perfect companions to any meal, while the scratch-made churros offer a sweet ending.
Pair your meal with one of Torchy’s signature margaritas, like the Top Shelf Patrón or the fruity Strawberry Margarita, for the perfect finish.
