Torchy's Tacos has expanded its empire by opening its second Florida location just last week in the heart of Altamonte Springs, bringing its signature tacos and vibrant culinary experience to eager locals and taco enthusiasts alike.
Living by their “Damn Good” mantra, Torchy’s Tacos prides themselves on constantly innovating to ensure they are delivering the tastiest food and drinks in the game. Let’s dive in!
Food: Devilishly Good Tacos and Beyond
The menu offers an array of innovative and mouth watering options, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that are responsibly and ethically sourced around the world. Each taco is cooked to order to serve it up just how you like it!
But Torchy's Tacos is more than just tacos. The menu features classic starters and sides like Street Corn and Hillbilly Queso (green chile queso upgraded with chorizo). For other main dishes, you can check out the Airstream Salad or Burritos, or turn your burrito into a bowl!

While the tacos are the main event, we would go back just for the appetizers and desserts. The Hillbilly Queso, a rich and zesty green chile queso infused with spicy chorizo, is paired with freshly fried tortilla chips.
We also ordered Street Corn as a side dish to our tacos and it hit the spot. Perfectly grilled corn is married with ancho aioli, cotija cheese, cilantro, and dusts it with red chile powder. And to finish off the meal, the Lil Nookies are fried chocolate chip cookie dough bites topped with powdered sugar and cherries. Need I say more?
Full Bar: Crafted Cocktails and Local Brews
Although it is not a classic sit down-style restaurant, Torchy’s Tacos has a full bar with a stacked menu. The drink menu is a carefully curated selection of craft cocktails, local brews, and signature margaritas that perfectly complement the bold flavors of the tacos.
Sip on a Torchy's Tini or dive into the House Rocks Margarita for a Mexican classic. The beer selection highlights local breweries, showcasing the vibrant craft beer scene in Altamonte Springs and surrounding areas.
With a lively and inviting atmosphere, the bar at Torchy's Tacos is not just a place to enjoy a drink – it's an extension of the overall experience.
Ambiance: Flavor Meets Atmosphere
Just like its food, Torchy’s Tacos decor packs a punch. Walking in, you're met with a lively fusion of modern chic and Tex-Mex vibrancy. The restaurant's ambiance echoes the spirit of its tacos – bold, spicy, and full of character.
Order at the counter and have a seat at a table or at the bar. A number placed on the table will let the servers know where to bring the food! Whether you're seeking a casual lunch spot or a place to celebrate, Torchy's Tacos seamlessly blends a vibrant aesthetic with a comfortable setting, ensuring a memorable dining experience for all.
