Torchy’s Tacos Brings More Damn Good Tacos to Arizona with Opening of Second Phoenix Restaurant

Torchy’s Tacos, the popular Austin-based craft-casual brand known for its Damn Good Tacos and addictive Green Chile Queso, is growing in Arizona with the opening of a new Phoenix restaurant on Wednesday, August 31. Located at 10625 North Tatum Blvd., Suite 125A, the new location marks Torchy’s Tacos’ second restaurant in Arizona, with one additional location in Phoenix planned for this winter.

To celebrate the new restaurant, Torchy’s will host a preview party on Monday, August 29 from 5-8 p.m., where the community is welcome to attend and enjoy a complimentary meal, including tacos, queso, beer samples, beverages and more.

And the party doesn’t stop there! Torchy’s is also kicking off grand opening day on August 31 by offering the first 100 guests in line at 10 a.m. on opening day a limited-edition Torchy’s Restaurant Opening T-Shirt, which will grant the lucky Taco Junkie a year of free Green Chile Queso each time they wear it to the Tatum & Shea location.*

“Phoenix has some of the most loyal, die-hard foodies in the country, and the community has been so welcoming ever since we opened our Camelback location in June,” said Mike Rypka, founder and CEO of Torchy’s Tacos. “This new location will allow us to reach even more Taco Junkies in the area, and we look forward to connecting with the local community and serving up some Damn Good Tacos soon!”
