UPDATE: Greatfull Taco Transitions Into a Torchy's Tacos

Torchy's Tacos, an Austin import known for, well...tacos, is moving into the space now occupied by Greatfull Taco. (How many times can we fit the word taco into one post?)

Paul West, the somewhat outspoken owner of the already Torchy-esque Greatfull Taco (which has only been open since late spring) told Culturemap Torchy's gave him an offer he "couldn't refuse." However, there has been no official word from Torchy's on the subject. Torchy's confirmed the news to Eater today as well.

West once told Houston Press that his "original idea all along was to open a Torchy's in the spot" and it looks as if you may be able to get your Dirty Sanchez fix here in Houston after all.
