Jackie MannNovember 27, 2016Torchy's is the best taco place in Austin. There are multiple locations and they all deliver great food. The Democrat is my go-to order, and the burrito is wonderful as well!
Jesse BagelsMarch 27, 2016Huge tacos with some delicious and fresh ingredients, eat outside and make friends with the ravens, also THERE'S A TAKEOUT WINDOW DO NOT WAIT ON LINE INSIDE WOWOW!
Bill GrytaDecember 23, 2011Just go already. Some of the best Telmex tacos money can buy, and a great balance of creative and classic, Dublin DP at the fountain and an awesome staff. Parking sucks, tho. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more- Social News NetworkJune 11, 2012Every taco has a uniquely magical flavor, and with each bite you will feel your inner smile grow! You can't go wrong with the fried avocado taco.
Brook ShelleyAugust 6, 2014Tacos. I mean, there's a ton to choose from, and they're all delicious. Try the democrat and the monthly special.
abigail.May 15, 2017Such good tacos!! Handful of vegetarian options. Amazing queso and super friendly staff. We also got a sample of some deep fried cookie dough balls that are fantastic!!
valerieDecember 9, 2014One of my favorite places to get tacos! Get the Baja shrimp. Brushfire is spicy, like get-me-water-now spicy.
Austin ChronicleFebruary 13, 2014The devilish imp reigns supreme over the Drag's taco scene, with inventive combinations that appeal to the masses and salsas that are like crack to the endorphin-deprived.
- Social News NetworkNovember 28, 2012If you're looking for an amazingly, greasy, delicious, absolutely-bad-for-you taco that will blow your mind ask for the Ace of Spades- not on the menu and guaranteed to ruin your diet!
Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013This outpost of the local taco empire is one of our favorite places to grab a bite near UT-Austin.- Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012Don't forget to always get queso when you go! Torchy's has some of the best queso in Austin! Even ask for them to make it a little less spicy if that fits your tastes!
- Jaysyn LongoriaAugust 10, 2010Try The Democrat and Trailer Park along with a Dublin Dr. Pepper. Your life will forever be changed. Don't forget to top your tacos off with the delightful sauce. My fave is the diablo!
Gina R.October 26, 2012Once I saw the fried avocado taco on the menu, I had to have it! I don't know if I'll be able to go again & stray from it. Also, excellent chips & queso with a kick!
Ben SunMarch 19, 2011If ordering to go, order it "for here" anyway and they will load it up for you. You can always get a bag later. Otherwise, your taco will be puny because they try to wrap it up all nice and neat. :)
Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013My favorite is the brushfire tacos! Ask for it trashy. These tacos won't disappoint and the restaurant was just remolded. Looks great.
Vinaya VishwanathJune 16, 2016Get the queso. If you order at the bar, you don't have to wait in line!
Andrew CJune 4, 2019Unbelievably and unnecessarily long wait (40 min for 3 tacos)... but they were absolutely tasty and very filling!!!!
Perhaps the most delicious tacos I have ever tasted! "The Democrat" taco was my first choice and continues to be my top pick! Amazing taco place.
Brandon LutzJune 26, 2013They have a secret menu: order the Hipster:, guac blackened fish bacon cotija cheese plus some spice. So freaking good- Social News NetworkJune 27, 2012When ordering Torchy's be sure to say you're eating there and not taking to go. They give you more for your money and stuff your tacos with filling more than they would if you were eating to go.
Francis KayiwaMarch 22, 2013The food here is outstanding! There will likely be a line. This isn't Taco Bell so 'suck it up' and prepare to have you taste buds blown!
You cannot go wrong with the green salsa. Just order it with anything you are having.
Migas taco is the best deal everrrrrr and you can add anything you want to it! I always had potatoes :)
Ron JaJune 21, 2015Trailer Park Taco was Nice! "Make it Trashy" -- street corn is a perfect addition
HeatherSeptember 19, 2010Baja shrimp taco is great, green chili pork was a favorite but has been way too dry the last few visits. Queso is a toss up you'll either love it or hate it.
JP SeralOctober 17, 2011First place we went to eat in Austin...it did not disappoint! Get the Trashy Trailer Park or Fried Avocado tacos.
Ana YglesiasSeptember 15, 2012The fried avocado taco is amazing for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
WilliamAugust 23, 2012Call in or order online, it will save you a good amount of time during the busy hours.
You gotta order the Ranch Hand for breakfast. Steak and eggs in a taco, amazing with the killer Diablo Sauce. Also, laugh that the Republican Taco is a sausage wrap.
Get the Brushfire if you like it hot. Damn good tacos! Then walk a few steps north and visit Nice Kicks :-P
The Skallywag is awesome, it's sweet and just little spicy, very impressed!!!
Maureen LuyunJune 25, 2010The Democrat & Fried Avocado tacos are deeeelish! Jalepeno ranch also to die for. Great music, cool people, tasty iced tea.
Krystal MinterApril 25, 2020Fried avocado taco 💕💕 I’m glad it still tastes great while city is on “lockdown “
Victor Nguyen-LongMarch 22, 2010The Brushfire taco is a must if you like spicy food. And don't forget to try the Dublin Dr. Pepper on tap. Delicious.
You like salt? You like flavor? You like sauce? Well we don't have taste buds so here's a ton of it on your food

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. Like all great chefs, he filled his first menu with more experiments than meals — and thanks to some trips around town on his Vespa, and overhear...
