Ask anyone in Austin where their favorite place to grab a taco is and you’ll likely hear “Torchys!” in response. Torchy’s five founding partners are Bob, Farrell, Rebecca, and Jay with Mike Rypka as the chef behind the team. Having been a chef at MTV, Dell, Chuys, Lucy’s Boat Yard and beyond, putting together delectable flavor combinations with tacos as the vehicle was right up his alley and his consistently good recipes are the reason behind Torchy’s rapid success. In addition to their trailer, they now have multiple other brick and mortar locations and have expanded into other cities.
Down at the South Austin Trailer Park and Eatery where Torchy’s trailer sits, you can enjoy tacos under the shade of the Live Oak trees that overlooks Bouldin Creek. The names of their tacos are equally shady with such crowd favorites like the Dirty Sanchez. In addition to their normal menu, you can look for such specialty items like their Turkey taco with mole during November. What should you get? The ‘brushfire’ and the ‘fried avocado taco’ is hot on my list.
