Did You Know?

Around here, we’re known for our Damn Good Tacos®, sinfully good Green Chile Queso, and our rotating monthly special known as the Taco of the Month. Be it a new recipe or an old reliable, did you know that a portion of proceeds from that deliciously decadent taco is going toward worthy community causes? We know, we think it’s awesome too.

About the Beneficiaries

At Torchy’s, we’re all about supporting the grassroots organizations within our stores’ surrounding communities – but we also focus our greater assistance in areas where we are extremely passionate: childhood enrichment, addiction recovery, and cancer research.

At the end of each year, proceeds from all Tacos of the Month are calculated and distributed amongst the “Big 3”. Since 2010, we have been proud to contribute over $400,000 to the following organizations:

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center 

“Making Cancer History”
The mission of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public.

Fresh from the Vault!

This taco creation comes to you from the Torchy’s Tacos Vault, attributed to our own Tevy Kaplan. General Manager of Torchy’s Fort Worth, Tevy has been dreaming of this taco for quite some time. After much trial and error, he captured the perfect flavor combination to sway the judges.

“I challenged myself to come up with something that would be different, delicious and that the boss man (Executive Chef and Founder Mike Rypka) would enjoy. “

Torchy’s Taco of the Month January 2016

Many wonder why our first Taco of the Month in 2017 is named The Washingtonian. Is it a tribute to our first president, good ol’ George? Is it a celebration of our nation’s capital? The state of Washington? Well, no, it’s actually an ode to the barbecue out east. Regardless, one thing is certain: this taco is an American treasure. Come by and try 2017’s inaugural Taco of the Month: The Washingtonian.

See what we’re workin’ with:
Pulled smoked pork and grilled onions topped with Chipotle BBQ sauce, jack cheese, pickles, sour cream, and avocado. Served on a flour tortilla.
