Torchy’s Tacos Chiefs Partnership Turns Big Plays Into Free Tacos and $1 Donations

Torchy’s Tacos and the Kansas City Chiefs have cooked up a nationwide taco celebration that rewards fans for big plays and gives back to the community through a unique NFL partnership.

Torch the Defense (Tacos and Touchdowns)

As the official taco and queso of the Kansas City Chiefs, Torchy’s is ramping up fan excitement for the 2025 season with “Torch the Defense”—a special promo that delivers a free taco treat and charitable benefit every time the Chiefs pull off a 30-yard-or-more play by pass, run, or return. Each time the Chiefs reach this big play milestone, fans at all Torchy’s locations can grab a Buy One Get One (BOGO) taco deal for two days following the game when ordering online or in person. For every BOGO redeemed, Torchy’s donates $1 to the Worthy 1’s Foundation, founded by Chiefs star wide receiver Xavier Worthy.

Impact—On and Off the Field

The Worthy 1’s Foundation supports single mothers, families, and youth in Fresno, Kansas City, and Austin, echoing the shared roots Worthy and Torchy’s have in Texas. The taco joint’s signature “Damn Good” food has always stood for bold flavor and community spirit—now, each hard-earned first down or breakaway play means victory both for fans’ taste buds and for families in need.

Xavier Worthy, Wide Receiver, said:
“My mom made a lot of sacrifices for me and my sisters, and it was important to me to honor her and give back to families that looked like mine. The Worthy 1’s is how I do that. Having Torchy’s, an Austin brand I loved in college, join forces with the Chiefs makes this impact even bigger!”

A Celebration of Flavor and Community

Torchy’s and the Chiefs are showing how food, sport, and philanthropy come together for a win on every level. Whether fans are in Kansas City, Austin, Orlando, or anywhere Torchy’s operates, this partnership gives them new ways to connect with the game and their communities. This is the second year of the official partnership, and both sides are committed to growing the tradition.

Paul Macaluso, CEO of Torchy’s Tacos, said:
“Football is about passion and community, everything we live for at Torchy’s. Partnering with the Chiefs and Xavier Worthy lets us take that energy nationwide. Whether you’re in Kansas City, Austin, Orlando or beyond, Chiefs fans can celebrate the big plays with Damn Good tacos and make a difference while doing it.”
