Torchy's Tacos

This ever-growing local chain is everything Mexican restaurants should be in this city: creative, tasty, affordable, friendly and filled with funky Austin style. Born from a phenomenally successful food truck, Torchy's dishes up enormous, innovative tacos drizzled with award-winning hot sauces. Start with the addictive green chile queso before diving into the green chile pork taco, the delectably unique fried avocado taco or the juicy Baja shrimp taco. Follow with deep-fried chocolate chip cookie bites.
