SAN ANTONIO — The popular Austin-based taco restaurant Torchy's Tacos announced Tuesday that it will open its first location in the Alamo City on Dec. 18.

The restaurant, which has a cult following and is known for its unique take on traditional tacos, will open at The Shops at Lincoln Heights at 999 E. Basse Road in a 4,363 square foot space previously occupied by Posada Del Rey.

"San Antonio has been on our hit list for a while and we’re glad to finally be opening our doors," said Founder and VP of Culinary and Marketing, Michael Rypka, in a release. "We couldn’t be more proud of the store itself and to be a part of the San Antonio community."

Torchy's Tacos, which operates under the slogan "Damn Good Tacos", features menu items such as the Trailer Park (fried chicken, green chilies, lettuce, cheese, pico, poblano ranch.)
