The limited-time taco innovation brings big flavor, featuring crispy fried shrimp coated in bold panang curry sauce, topped with cool and crunchy cabbage slaw, fajita peppers, chile-lime cucumber spear, peanuts, green onion, Thai basil and a squeeze of lime.

Torchy's will also commemorate 20 years of BTE (Big Taco Energy) with a custom Torchy's Monopoly game featuring brand-inspired properties, menu favorites and plenty of Damn Good details. The limited-edition game will be gifted to select Torchy's Rewards members and available for fans to purchase while supplies last.

Since opening its first Austin food trailer in 2006, Torchy's has grown to over 115 restaurants across the country while remaining committed to scratch-made and inventive food, big tacos and its signature devilish attitude.

"Twenty years ago, Torchy's was one food trailer, a red Vespa and a belief that tacos could be anything but ordinary. We didn't have a perfect plan, but we had a passion for making Damn Good food, listening to our guests and sweating every detail," said Mike Rypka, founder of Torchy's Tacos. "I'm incredibly proud of what this team has built and grateful to every Taco Junkie who took a chance on us, came back for another taco and helped turn that little trailer into what Torchy's is today."

As Torchy's enters its third decade, the brand remains grounded in the same spirit that launched the original Austin trailer: make food from scratch, take bold creative swings and create a place where people can gather and live flavor to the fullest.
