When fans of Austin-based Torchy’s Tacos clamored for the restaurant to come to Denver, owner Michael Rypka listened. This May, he’ll start renovating an old Arby’s restaurant at 11th and Broadway into the first Torchy’s Tacos to come to Colorado. They’ll be gutting it down to the basics, and adding a patio, with the opening date in August if plans go according to schedule.
Torchy’s, which started as an Austin food truck in 2006, now has more than 30 locations in Texas. The Denver project is the company’s first out-of-state venture.
