Torchy's Tacos

Torchy's Tacos is a fast-casual dining chain specializing in Mexican cuisine, renowned for its innovative and flavorful tacos. Founded in 2006 by Mike Rypka in Austin, Texas, the company began as a food trailer and has since expanded to over 110 locations across 14 states, including Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and Tennessee.

The menu at Torchy's Tacos features a diverse array of tacos, each crafted with fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients. Signature offerings include the "Democrat" taco, which combines beef barbacoa, avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro, diced onions, and a lime wedge with tomatillo salsa on a corn tortilla.

The "Republican" taco features smoked beef brisket, barbecue sauce, crispy onions, grilled corn relish, cilantro, and chipotle sauce on a flour tortilla. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, ensuring a wide appeal.

Complementing the tacos, Torchy's offers a variety of sides and appetizers, such as their award-winning green chile queso topped with guacamole, cotija cheese, cilantro, and Diablo sauce, served with tortilla chips.

Other popular items include chips and salsa, guacamole, and street corn—fresh roasted off-the-cob corn topped with ancho aioli, cotija cheese, cilantro, and dusted with New Mexico red chili powder.

For those seeking a refreshing beverage, Torchy's provides a selection of margaritas made with 100% pure agave reposado tequila and freshly squeezed lime juice. Flavors range from classic lime to strawberry, wildberry, peach, passion fruit, and sangria swirl, available both frozen and on the rocks.
