DALLAS – Jan. 25, 2016 – Trademark Property Co., the operating partner for The Shops at Highland Village, is pleased to announce that Torchy’s Tacos has signed a lease for 5,262 square feet at the recently renovated shopping center.

Menu favorites include green chile pork, beef barbacoa, fried avocado, seared ahi tuna, blackened salmon and several other customizable options. The taco shop will have a full bar featuring local beers and craft cocktails.
“We are thrilled to have Torchy’s Tacos open its first location in Highland Village this year, and it will be a great, fast-casual dining option for our guests,” said Ravi Wadhwa, general manager for The Shops at Highland Village. “It’s also a very exciting transition for Runway Seven to its new, larger location that will become their new prototype. Our mix of local and national retailers and restaurants make The Shops at Highland Village a wonderful place to shop, dine and gather.”
