As part of this activation, a portion of the proceeds from every kids' meal sold across all locations will support the Foundation's programs that create safe play spaces, train coach-mentors, and provide soccer opportunities for children in underserved communities. Each Torchy's Tacos x U.S. Soccer Foundation meal includes a limited-edition 'Soccer Connects Us All' collectible cup and an interactive sticker sheet for kids to customize. Earlier this year, Torchy's Tacos refreshed its kids meals with customizable combo options designed for guests ages 12 and under. Each kids meal includes a choice of entree, including a taco, quesadilla, chicken tenders or avocado bites, alongside a choice of side, including chips, rice and beans or tots, plus a kids foundation drink, apple juice or bottled water. Each meal also comes with a Torchy for Kids coloring sheet that doubles as the menu. Guests can also upgrade to larger portions for an additional cost.
