“These past 15 years have been damn good to us and we are beyond grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our loyal guests over the years,” Rypka says. To celebrate this crystal milestone, Torchy’s Tacos is sharing the love.

The Tipsy Chick is an established fan favorite and is August’s taco of the month, made with a flour tortilla with marinated and grilled chicken breast, spinach, grilled corn, green chiles, shredded cheese, chipotle sauce and a side of bacon bourbon marmalade.

Accompanying the taco in the August spotlight is the Magic Dragon, a concoction made with Camarena peposado tequila, Cointreau and sweet and sour syrup, flavored with dragon fruit then garnished with a grilled lemon wheel, perfect to enjoy during these last few weeks of summer.
