Torchy’s Tacos first Nashville location opening in iconic Midtown building

NASHVILLE, Tenn. and AUSTIN, Texas – Dec. 5, 2023 – H.G. Hill Realty Company welcomes Nashville’s first Torchy’s Tacos to the company’s iconic 1929 Broadway property located at the Broadway and Division split. The Austin-based scratch-kitchen brand known for its elevated tacos will begin its buildout of the 4,690 square foot space in the coming months with an anticipated opening in late 2024. 

“As Torchy’s Tacos continues its expansion into Tennessee, we are thrilled they selected our unique 1940’s-era building in the heart of Midtown for their first Nashville location,” said Jimmy Granbery, chair and CEO, H.G. Hill Realty Company. Southeast Venture Brokers managed the marketing and leasing of the property. 

Founded in a food trailer in Austin in 2006, Torchy’s Tacos elevates the traditional street taco with unique flavor combinations that include responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients from around the world. “We’ve known for years that Nashville was a city we’d love to bring Torchy’s Tacos to, as it feels so much like our hometown of Austin,” says Torchy’s Taco CEO and founder, Mike Rypka. “Now, on the list of things that make our cities so similar, we can officially add Torchy’s Tacos alongside live music and great people.” The company’s Memphis location opened in June 2021.
