Does Torchy's have nugget ice?

What we found

• The owner of Nugget Ice Finder reports (October 6, 2026) that every Torchy's Tacos location has nugget ice. That report is why Torchy's is listed as chain-wide rather than only widely reported. It is not a statement from Torchy's.
• Torchy's own site (menu, about, FAQ/home, and terms pages checked October 6, 2026) does not say what shape the ice is. We found no Torchy's page or press quote that confirms nugget ice. We also found no secondary guide that names Torchy's for nugget ice.
• Pins are OpenStreetMap restaurants tagged as Torchy's Tacos, not a copy of the Torchy's locator. Torchy's terms forbid using its marks without permission and forbid data mining / spiders / robots for extraction, so we did not scrape the store locator and we do not show a logo. On October 6, 2026, the public sitemap listed 120 store /order URLs (count only; production-lab excluded; no addresses copied). This snapshot has 112 OpenStreetMap pins in 14 states. Eighty-three pins have a street that starts with a house number, one has a street with no leading house number, and 28 have no street in OpenStreetMap; no house number was guessed. Restaurant Dive (January 28, 2026) said Torchy's had 125 units as of January 7 and that planned closures would bring the chain under 120 — store-count context only, not an ice claim. If a pinned store doesn't have nugget ice, vote "no longer has it."
