"Tacos are a heated subject in Austin so let's just say Torchy's Tacos is one of the best. Order a couple of tacos, chips & queso, and frozen margaritas. Fun fact: Obama ordered The Democrate, The Republican, and The Independent." - A Taste of Koko
"A popular local taco chain celebrated for inventive taco creations and a lively, approachable atmosphere—perfect for casual, flavorful meals that capture the city's playful culinary spirit." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A now-iconic taco brand that started in the city’s food-truck ecosystem and became emblematic of Austin’s ability to turn mobile concepts into widely beloved, permanent staples." - Lane Gillespie
"A local taqueria chain made a stealth video that caught actor Pedro Pascal (the star of the HBO series The Last of Us and Gladiator II) dining at one of its Austin locations, illustrating how celebrity sightings often spill into casual neighborhood spots; our reporters also noted that Pascal was seen at another famed barbecue spot the same day, enjoying a laugh and a pork rib." - Courtney E. Smith
