ICYMI: Torchy's Tacos To Open In Pflugerville May 8, 2019

Prior to first day of business, residents are invited to May 7 grand opening party featuring free tacos, drinks and live entertainment.

PFLUGERVILLE, TX — Torchy’s Tacos, the popular Austin-based taco chain, is poised to open its first location in Pflugerville early next month, officials said on Tuesday.

The opening is scheduled on May 8, marking the chain's 16th location in the greater Austin area. The restaurant will serve up its self-described "damn good tacos" (as unofficial motto emblazoned on eatery walls), its popular queso, a full bar menu and more in the Stone Hill Town Center at 18817 Limestone Commercial Dr.

“With Austin’s burgeoning population, it only makes sense that we bring our Damn Good tacos to the Pflugerville community,” G.J. Hart, CEO of Torchy’s Tacos said in a prepared statement. “As we grow and expand throughout the Southwest, we want our most loyal fans to know that our roots remain in Austin.”

Just in time for warmer weather, the Stone Hill location will also feature an outdoor patio and full-service bar where taco lovers can enjoy beer, fresh-squeezed margaritas and signature cocktails such as the Tequila Temptress, Torchy’s Paloma and additional sinful concoctions, officials noted.

To celebrate the new restaurant, Torchy’s will host a grand opening party on Tuesday, May 7, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Pflugerville community is invited to join the festivities while enjoying free tacos, drinks and live entertainment.
