Torchy's Tacos

Iconic Austin taco chain known for creative combinations, secret menu, and damn good tacos.

Torchy's Tacos started as a food trailer on South First Street and became an Austin institution. Their creative taco combinations—like the Trailer Park (fried chicken, green chiles, lettuce, pico) and the Crossroads (smoked beef brisket, grilled onions, jack cheese)—have defined a generation of Austin eating. The secret menu is a rite of passage for Austin residents. While they've expanded across Texas and beyond, the original South Congress and early locations retain their authentic Austin energy. The green chile queso is practically its own food group.
