Last year, I discovered this wonderful taco place right off of Guadalupe. Torchy’s Tacos keeps with the “Keep Austin Weird” trend, by offering out-of-the-box tacos names.
With such tacos like Fried Avocado, Baja Shrimp, The Republican, Ranch Hand, Trailer Park and more, there is something for everyone. They also give you the opportunity to build your own taco.
Besides the location off of the Drag, there are two other locations around Austin.
Each month, Torchy’s features a different taco as its specialty. This month, the taco is “The Scarecrow.” It has pumpkin crusted chicken, roasted poblanos, escabeche carrots, cotija cheese & cilantro. Torchy’s vistors have the choice of having their taco on flour or corn tortillas. It also comes with creamy chipotle salsa.
Also in time for the Halloween season, Torchy’s Trailer Park has a pumpkin patch.
Torchy’s also has a wonderful green chile queso and burritos. To round out your meal, get little nookies, fried dough covered in powdered sugar.
**Special shout out to Torchy’s: they won Best Mole at the 2009 Austin Chocolate Festival!
