Your A-List: Best Taco Stand
What began as a small trailer operation on West Fifth Street has expanded to three locations with plans for more. As it makes its slow move to dot the Austin landscape with its taco locations, Torchy’s carries with it the title of Best Taco Stand in the Your A-List poll.
The flagship Torchy’s location sits in the South Austin Trailer Park Eatery, offering plenty of seating and parking for folks who have come to love the operation’s green chili queso, breakfast tacos and unique creations, such as the Trailer Park, which features fried chicken, green chilies, lettuce, pico de gallo, and Cheese served on a flour tortilla with poblano ranch.
The folks at Torchy’s briefly experienced a mild delusion of grandeur or misguided ambition last year when they attempted to start a burger operation at the Trailer Park location. However, they laid Shuggie’s to rest last month in order to focus on doing what they do best — tacos.
