Born as a trailer on South Lamar in 2006, Torchy's is now an Austin institution that locals genuinely love despite its growth into a regional chain. The Trailer Park taco (fried chicken, green chiles, pico, cheese) and the Democrat (pulled pork, mango habanero, avocado) are cult favorites. It's louder and more casual than its reputation suggests — the original South Lamar location retains the most character.
