Torchy's: One Incredible Roach Coach

Perhaps you are offended by the endearing term "Roach Coach," but that's how I have come to recognize some pretty unique fare. That said, don't dare drive to South Austin for another meal (and certainly not to El Mercado) until you check out Torchy's Tacos on South First.

The milieu: a cute trailer setup in a parking lot, creekside; tables and chairs scattered around under pretty electric string lights. Screams "South Austin." Don't dare go across the street to crappy El Mercado when Torchy's awaits.
