Torchy's Tacos

Torchy's SMU: DAMN GOOD FOOD Torchy's Tacos started in 2006 with a mobile trailer, a little red Vespa, and a man with a passion for good food.

The founder, Mike Rypka, left an executive chef position to chase his dreams by investing everything he had into Torchy's Tacos. With a new, experimental menu ready to serve but no mouths to feed, Rypka jumped on his Vespa and started throwing out samples in an attempt to draw customers to his trailer. Before he knew it, people were rallying beside the taco stand hollering, "damn these tacos are good!" and the Torchy's Tacos' legacy began.

He’s retired, but don't worry, this spitfire is taking over as the (new) Republican on the block. The people have spoken, and The C̶o̶u̶g̶a̶r̶ Republican is officially our new candidate.

Our Story

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 overheard iterations of "Damn, these tacos are good!" at the food trailer, it was declared a hit.

The rest is history. Well, history in-the-making.

With countless tacos eaten, over 70 locations opened, and thousands of Taco Ju**ies added to the Torchy’s family, some things have certainly changed, but the dedication to making high-quality, cooked-to-order, Damn Good tacos remains the same.

Though each Torchy's location has its own unique and different design, the commitment to top-notch ingredients is found in all our kitchens. To serve up the best of the best, we focus on developing partnerships around the world to responsibly source the finest ingredients. We believe in our fine partners, their missions, and putting our best food forward together.
