A new taco spot has opened its doors in the neighborhood. The new arrival to the Northwest Side, called Torchy's Tacos, is located at 17627 La Cantera Parkway, Suite 105, in the Rim shopping center.

Other noteworthy taco options include Mr. Orange with blackened salmon, grilled corn and black bean relish and cotija cheese; and the Trailer Park with fried chicken, green chiles, pico de gallo and grated cheddar and jack cheeses with poblano sauce.
Sides include queso and chips, refried black beans, Mexican rice and street corn. (See the full menu here.)
