TORCHY'S TACOS

The Write-Up

The full story

Torchy's Tacos brings Austin swagger to Daryl Carter Parkway, loud, playful and garage-y to its bones. The green chile queso is the order guests call to die for, and the Trailer Park, Baja Shrimp and Brushfire tacos each land with their own distinct flavor. The tacos run on the compact side, so order like you mean it.
