The first location in the Phoenix area is slated to open later in June, with additional restaurants to follow. “Torchy’s is always looking for new markets to expand to, and Phoenix hit the mark for us in terms of its incredible growth, culture and food scene,” Mike Rypka, founder and CEO of Torchy’s Tacos, said in a statement. “This is the farthest west we’ve expanded to so far and we can’t wait to connect with the local community and show them what our Damn Good tacos are all about.”
