As part of the grand opening, the first 100 guests in line on opening day will be offered a limited-edition Torchy’s T-shirt, which gives the recipient a year of free green chile queso each time they wear it to the Altamonte Springs location.
The offer will remain valid for one year after the opening date, and it can only be redeemed once per day.

The opening will mark the chain’s second restaurant in Florida, with another location being opened prior in St. Petersburg.
“After the outpouring of support and love for our Torchy’s Tacos St. Petersburg location, we knew a second Florida location wouldn’t be far behind,” Torchy’s Tacos CEO Mike Rypka said. “We are thrilled to open the doors in Altamonte Springs and welcome the community into the Torchy’s Tacos family.”
