Victoria U.June 25, 2016The queso was delicious and of course all of the tacos. You can't go wrong here, just throw a dart at the menu and enjoy (but also wash it down with Mexican coke!)
- Brian HerschaftAugust 22, 2014Missionary Style- Green chili pork. (From the secret menu) Carnitas, pickled onions, guacamole, jack cheese and cilantro, chipotle sauce - two-tortilla tandem. Ask by name as it's not on the menu!
Kevin SkobacMarch 17, 2016My first trip to the famed taco spot. Fried avocado taco and fried chicken taco "trailer park" made "trashy", plus a side of chips & queso. I'll be dreaming about it until next year's trip back.
Michael ChangNovember 3, 2014Live north of the Mason-Dixon Line? Be sure to order the Trailer Park (trashy, if you like queso cheese) and the Dirty Sanchez for Breakfast - it's perfect after a late-night bender!
- Ariana VoyerFebruary 3, 2018The Green Chile Pork taco was honestly the best taco I’ve ever had! Also enjoyed The Democrat. Nice that there’s a covered space if you don’t want to sit outside.
David KernFebruary 1, 2017Some of the best tacos I've ever eaten. Baja shrimp was really great! Get the nachos and queso!!!
Austin ChronicleJune 19, 2013The original Torchy's Taco Trailer is both a destination and a landmark. Fabulous, enormous tacos filled with inventive and excellent "Texican" filling combinations, with shady outdoor seating. Read more
- J JohnDecember 24, 2021Excellent tacos, high quality ingredients, creative toppings & salsas. The breakfast tacos are great, the carne asada not greasy at all. Salmon black bean taco highly recommended!
Sheyla ConcepcionOctober 15, 2015Damn good breakfast tacos. I had the Migas and it was the biggest taco I've ever had. It's a must-go if you're in Austin. Go early to avoid the lines.
Dilek UnarDecember 6, 2016Fried avocado taco on the flour taco and guacamole are more than amazing & the prices are very affordable. Very highly recommended. I can just come to Texas for this.
Hudson SutlerJuly 19, 2017Possibly the best taco ever and they have the hardware to prove it. Add a firewater cocktail or some fried avocado to any dish, and make sure to thank us later. Read more
Joan ParkFebruary 18, 2015do not forget the queso & chips. they were the best i had in austin. tacos were stuffed with so much goodies they were more like open burritos!
Julia LuJuly 12, 2018The corn is amazing here!!! Taco deli has more vegetarian options but Torchys is still one of the best taco places in Austin.
Faith DabbsJuly 14, 2013'The Independent' taco was so colorful with freshness bursting out of it. The flavors were nothing shy of amazing. The cilantro on 'Green Chile Pork' taco made the whole thing. Also affordable!
Adrian PhillipsMay 16, 2015Try shrimp taco as it was my favorite of all the tacos I tried. Be sure to get the grilled corn on the side as it comes off the cob and is delicious.
Lesley RobinsonDecember 29, 2015The Migas breakfast taco, fried avocado, and beef fajita are my favorites. But really... you can't go wrong. Don't forget the side of green chile queso!
Do not pass go. Forget the menu. Just order two Green Chili Pork tacos and an ice cold Topo Chico mineral water in an old style glass bottle. Take number, sit under the oaks, await taco greatness.- LaurenNovember 11, 2013Torchy's has an awesome selection of tacos and uses GREAT cuts of meat. I had the carne asada taco with the spiciest salsa and loved it. And the chips are fresh and hot!
Monique LamSeptember 3, 2012This is hands down the best taco truck ever! The sweet street corn blows any elotes out there by far! The Mr Pink is an ahi tuna taco and the Trailer Park is the friend chicken taco.
B WAugust 8, 2017I've changed my former opinion because I'm obsessed with the fried avocado tacos. Also, best queso in town. BYOB and FYI they are often out of Diet Coke.
Harmon "DJ"April 21, 2016Ranch hand is one you have to try! Then head over to holy cacao and get a red velvet cake shake with chocolate ice cream.. The ultimate dinner!!
Lina NguyenApril 12, 2015Tried the Democrat, brushfire, Mr pink, green Chile pork, and crossroads. All quite tasty and big portions; loved the Democrat and pork!
The O.G. Torchy's. PRO TIP: Ask for the Mad Cow (beef fajita, black beans, grilled corn) or Missionary-style Pork (carnitas, guacamole) off their secret menu.
zac mJuly 30, 2013Torchys is one of the top sellers on the Favor App. You can order whatever and we will bring it to your home or office.
Daniel BarnettMarch 16, 2015Humanity has maxed out its taco capabilities with Torchy's. It's scientifically and physically impossible to make a better taco. I defy the nay-sayers.
Gabriel VaraMay 7, 2017I tried the Baja! The democrat! The republican and trailer park !! Sooooo effffinnnn delicious 😈😈😈
Derek WongJuly 12, 2016For first timers I recommend the republican or democrat but if this is your second trip try the missionary style pork and jack of clubs from the secret menu.
Alexander CandelarioDecember 12, 2017The original Torchy's Taco Trailer is both a destination and a landmark. Fabulous, enormous tacos filled with inventive and excellent.
Off The MenuOctober 15, 2015The Jack of Clubs: A fried egg, potatoes, black beans, crisp corn tortilla strips, shredded cheese, cilantro, sour cream & diablo. Served on a flour tortilla. Read more
Barron RothNovember 2, 2016There's a couple Torchy's around Austin, so search around. I took my mom here and she still fucking talks about the tacos. Best I've had, ever.
Lauren MacJuly 21, 2015Flour tacos are better than the corn, snag The Trailer Park and some shade for a good eat.
Ruth JeffersJuly 31, 2018Guacamole and The Crossroads were delicious. Also the Maine Root Organic sodas are quite tasty
Chrysanthe TenentesMarch 14, 2012Sit outside on the picnic tables on a warm night. Get one fried avocado taco and one breakfast taco. Share chips and their amazing salsa. Enjoy.
Amy Johnson CookFebruary 2, 2016Fried avocado tacos. That's all you need to know. They have several brick & motor locations as well.- Amy Johnson CookDecember 19, 2016Fried avocado tacos. That's all I need to say. Oh, & multiple locations, some sit down if you don't feel like the truck.
Robert RoweSeptember 30, 2010...awesome selection of Damn Good Tacos! Personal favorite is Ranch Hand (beef fajita over scrambled eggs and cheese on top with some spicy Diablo sauce). Check More Info for other locations... Read more
Jenn LeFloreOctober 5, 2015Worth the visit. So much food for ur buck. And the Migas and queso is everything ppl say
Serious EatsMarch 2, 2013The Dirty Sanchez is a vegetarian hangover helper that's every bit as sloppy and satisfying as its meatier counterparts.
David LubinJuly 28, 2015Fried avocado taco is great...queso has guac in it and is good and spicy...the other tacos we had were just fair
Try the monthly special. Right now it's the Washington. It was so good my usual taco (fried avacado) was jealous. Don't worry! You're still my precious!
Kelly GonzalezAugust 16, 2011Go for the baja shrimp taco for the perfect amount of flavor and spice to make any tummy happy. Plus, with the green chile queso you can never go wrong!
Jazmyn TubervilleDecember 24, 2013If you get nothing else, do yourself a favor and get the fried avocado taco. Possibly the best tacos in Austin.
Pearson - Always LearningFebruary 28, 2014Breakfast tacos. For lunch / dinner: Green chile pork taco, queso, street corn, and Lil' Nookies (deep fried chocolate chip cookies).
Brad SouthNovember 17, 2015The homemade queso they make is out of this world! It's worth any taco that it's placed on
Lisa WMay 13, 2012Best tacos in the land! Wish I could dry ice ship them to Chicago. Get the one with fried chicken. Hell, get all of them.
