Some of the best Tacos in Austin. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Green Chili pork can't be beat. Make it trashy! And they add queso. Speaking of queso, don't miss the green chili queso.
An Austin required eatery. Get something awesome and slather it in Diablo sauce. Lines can get long but the food is incredible.
Social News NetworkJune 14, 2012I recommend the Baja Shrimp and Green Chili Pulled Pork. Parking is atrocious at this location so be prepared for a hike when coming to eat. And forget about drive-thru during the lunch rush.
Nicole ReinhardMay 6, 2016After countless recommendations of being the best place to visit in Austin while visiting; I wild recommend everyone to go there.
Not a bad taco on the menu! I go with queso to start, and then either Crossroads, Baja Shrimp, or Green Chile Pork--all on corn tortilla!
These guys have the most original, creative tacos in Austin. No crispy tacos with ground beef here (those aren't even tacos). Try their Democrat or Republican, or their Green Chile Pork taco, or their
Order online and use the designated online order pickup register for speedy service!
Serious EatsMarch 2, 2013"The Dirty Sanchez is a vegetarian hangover helper that's every bit as sloppy and satisfying as its meatier counterparts."
Try the Crossroads Taco - Really good brisket in this taco.
Samantha FigueroaOctober 8, 2015Queso is the best I've ever had!! Also trailer park is the only thing I've gotten. Too good to pass up.
I am obsessed with the trailer park... Do yourself a favor and make it trashy! The street corn is new and also amazing!
Love the food, dan good tacos, but damn slow also. Eat here only if you have time to Han a while, NEVER if you are trying to grab a bite on the way to work.
ErinAugust 10, 2012A bit pricy, you pay per taco, but there's a lot of filling in each one, plus their delicious and fresh tasting
August Taco of the Month Looks good. Ask for the Scallywag, coconut breaded shrimp, bacon, jack cheese, pickled onions
If drive thru is backed up before the ordering board, park and go inside - its typically fast and you might run into someone you know.- Cut the line with online order! Then just smile at all the folks you just skipped over.
Michael RodriguezSeptember 4, 2014Everything. Mix and match your favorite tacos. Also try the breakfast tacos too! So good.
CultureMap AustinJuly 8, 2011Even if you've been in here ten dozen times, always, always, ALWAYS check out the Taco of the Month. If it doesn't sound appetizing, settle for a Brushfire or Democrat instead, you communist.
Google the secret menu before going. The Trailer Park - Hillbilly style is amazing!
Steven CollinsMay 21, 2011Try the Libertarian this month (May 2011). Like libertarianism, it's sooooooo good at first, and then the reality of it leaves you sick to your stomach.- One of the best bargains in town. Try the Ranch Hand on flour or corn tortilla. The Diablo sauce rocks! Read more
The Mr. Pink on corn is good, but the tuna can be dried out sometimes. Go for the trailer park trashy and always skip the drive-thru on weekends... takes too long might as well go in.
cosmoalienAugust 13, 2014My first introduction of Torchys. . I love the vast array of tacos.. very cool spot!:-)
The Migas breakfast taco is awesome!!!!! For lunch, try the Democrat!
Chris WilliamsSeptember 20, 2011Best Taco place in town. PERIOD! Love the trailer park. Just reguar, not trashy. Queso is FANTASTIC.
Rondal Scott IIIApril 3, 2012The Democrat is a great choice for a first time visit. Plenty of taste. Not too much risk.- Anthony DeRicoApril 13, 2011The Dirty Sanchez and fried avocado tacos and #1 & #2 best choices, respectively. Oh and make sure to have them on flour tortillas.
Get anything except the Brush Fire. They seem to always use crunchy, green, unripe mangos which are not at all suitable for eating.
When they have the ace of spades for taco of the month, get it to go! The wrapper keeps it together so u can eat it instead of wearing it.
The Trashy Trailer Park is a staple. Best queso in town.
James CarterJanuary 21, 2012Get a brushfire taco or 2 and have then place a fried avocado ok top of each. Delicious.
If you are in a hurry, order online, and just pickup your order. The online ordering system works well.
Tip from the mayor: The Mr. Pink taco is it! Seared ahi tuna, rubbed with spices and other amazing toppings all for $4!- the fried avocado taco is a great vegetarian option & very yummy
Aaron McDowellJuly 28, 2011Don't park at the daycare! They will tow. The daycare provides the tow truck drivers with the list of people allowed to park there. It is a $200 mistake.

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...
