Free tacos, drinks and queso will be on the menu when Torchy’s Tacos hosts a public preview for its first San Marcos location Feb. 16.

The company will host the preview event Feb. 16 from 6–9 p.m. Company spokeswoman Brittany Platt said the restaurant will “give the house away,” and each attendee will receive up to two tacos and two free drinks. The event will also include a free queso and salsa bar. “We’ve been wanting to come to San Marcos for years,” Platt said. “It’s right down the street from Austin, and it kind of has that same college feel as here in Austin, and that’s awesome.” Platt said guests dining at the restaurant or getting food to go on Feb. 17 will receive one free breakfast item from 7–10 a.m. “We’re super excited that we found a location that’s so perfect for us in such a cool part of the city,” Platt said. The restaurant chain's San Marcos location will feature a full bar with rotating beer taps, as well as indoor and outdoor seating.
