Torchy’s Tacos, the wildly popular Austin-based fast-casual chain, opened a 5,000-square-foot location, at 63 North Quebec Street, in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood, on June 22. It is the company’s seventh restaurant in Denver and its tenth overall in Colorado, according to a statement. The other three are in Colorado Springs, Boulder and Fort Collins. “Colorado has some of the most loyal, die-hard taco junkies in the country, and it’s because of them that we’ve seen such incredible growth in the state since we opened our first Denver restaurant in 2016,” Torchy’s founder and CEO Mike Rypka said in a statement. Torchy’s is known for its oversized fusion tacos that include everything from breakfast tacos made with brisket; green chile pork tacos with cotija cheese; and fried chicken tacos with poblano sauce. Torchy’s was founded 15 years ago and now has 100 locations in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
