Torchy's Tacos Opening 2nd Round Rock Site July 3
July 1 grand opening celebration will feature free tacos, drinks and entertainment with a chance to win 'taco money' during raffle.

ROUND ROCK, TX — Torchy’s Tacos, the popular Austin-based taco chain, is set to open its second Round Rock location on July 3 — the 17th location in the greater Austin area.
The new restaurant will open at the shuttered PS 35 restaurant space at 1500 N. Interstate 35 frontage road, Torchy's Tacos officials said. To celebrate, Torchy’s officials will stage a grand opening party on Monday, July 1, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. during which the community is invited to attend and enjoy free tacos, drinks and entertainment. In addition, free taco money will be up for grabs for one lucky raffle winner who visits the new location when it opens for business on Wednesday, July 3, officials said.
“We have been blown away from the turnout and support at some of our recent openings in Texas, and we can’t wait to celebrate our additional Round Rock location with local taco lovers,” 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 here in Texas to know that their incredible support is what keeps us serving Damn Good tacos near and far.”
