Great service, great food and a great business model. I love going to Torchy's because I can count on them using fresh delicious ingredients. This location is no different. I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone who's hungry for tacos! read more

I placed an online order at 11:45am to be picked up at 12:15pm. I arrived at the restaurant at 12:14 and was told that they were getting my order ready. I waited until 12:35 and my order still wasn't ready. I only ordered 1 Torchy bowl. Asked for a refund bc I had to get back on the road home. And was told that my refund wouldn't get processed until that night. So I left with no food and no refund. Would NOT recommend wasting your time trying to eat here. read more

We stopped by Torchy's Tacos and ordered three tacos along with chips and queso. The self-ordering kiosk was super easy to use, and our food came out quickly, fresh, and exactly as ordered. Everything was delicious--especially the queso, which is a must-try! I'd definitely come back to sample more of their menu. read more

Had the blackened salmon bowl that was very good, especially with the mango and pistachos (ill order extra mango for my liking). There is a bar at the center, which i think is pretty neat for a taco place. Music not to loud, very busy, but plenty of room. I did bite into a very hard piece of bone, very unexpected of course. Very nice manager offered to re-place the bowl, thank you for your customer service, i did choose a drink to try there sweet tea. The salmon bowl came out in less than 10 minutes, i would have liked it hotter in temperature. The most important thing is the flavor was good. read more

Nick was great! Awesome service. Standout employee and was fast and had very thorough service

The food is consistent and use to be one of our go to reliable place, but def not anymore. To start they now have a kiosk to order at and do not have a cashier at all. They were out of sweet tea completely. The floors were dirty. Man this place has gone down hill. Sucks because it use to be rock solid. read more

Not bad food, but you pay for it. Feel like I need to get 2+ tacos to be full and that starts getting expensive. Service is hot and miss. Depends on who is working and what type day they are having. Too expensive to quite be fast food, but not nice enough to be a sit down place. read more

Been here several times and each time it gets worse. TERRIBLE service and rude staff. They are not helpful at all. Clearly just collecting a paycheck and do not care at all about customer service. read more

Very cool design theme for interior and fun menu names, but the tacos are honestly kind of weird. Some menu items are amazing and others will have you regretting trying something new. Only complaint is the price is high for how little food is given. Staff are nice. read more

This is hands down my favorite place to stop for tacos in Abilene. We don't have one in San Angelo so when we come through town we always stop here. Fast service, food prices with military discount. Lots of variety in tacos they offer. Love that you can get corn or flour tortillas here. Their green and red salsa is spectacular as well. I'd get every one of my 4 tacos again in a blink. Super tasty and big! read more

Just went for their "Bowl Cut" promotion! The bowls were AMAZING!! I had salmon and my husband had the chicken one--we shared--both were yummy! We love their chips and queso too! The manager is SO nice!! The place is clean and we got our food in a very few minutes!!! We highly recommend this place!!! read more

I had never been here before but it was conveniently located next to places I was already at. I was pleasantly surprised at the ambiance and found the layout to be pretty cool. Everything looked very good, so I wasn't sure what to order. My server, Skylar, was awesome and expertly took over. She made great recommendations that you could tell were from her favorites and the food was perfect. I had the Tipsy Chick, Republican, and Democrat tacos. All of them were perfect and each had its own flavor profile. Given the sampling I just experienced, I have to say I will be back and will likely try all of them! So many great choices! And the icing on the cake, as is always the case with me- they make a great Michelada!!!! I will be back for sure. read more

The closest Torchy's to me is an hour and a half away but every time we go to Abilene we eat here. The tacos are stuffed, no skimping on ingredients. I've tried several, Crossroads is a favorite. Lol I make guac a lot, but this guac and chips is A MUST! It's so d*mn good!! We never wait very long for our order to come out. The staff is friendly and helpful when you don't know what to choose. Who do I need to talk to get one of these in San Angelo?!!? read more

I guess I'm probably the last person in Abilene to finally try Torchy's Tacos. I don't know why it took so long. I guess the free birthday chips and queso finally made me do it. On a weekday lunch, it wasn't busy at all. Chips & queso came out first. Spicy queso and thin, crisp chips. Loved it! Just a little too spicy for Glenda and Danielle, so most of it was mine! You get lucky once in a while. We got beef fajita, chicken fajita, and shrimp tacos. All were delicious. Just a hair smaller than I was expecting for the price, but still delicious! We were happy with the food, and they checked on us several times. Good service. We will definitely come back to try different tacos, and more spicy queso for me! read more

I'm sorry but this place was the absolute worst! Terrible customer service and the food was mediocre. I e been to Torchy's in other cities and it's always amazing. Very disappointed!! read more

Torchy's isn't the cheapest but it's not that expensive and it's super good! I've tried a lot of the menu but usually get 2 tacos (a Tipsy Chick and Brushfire) with a side of rice but I've never had anything I didn't like! The Democrat and Republican are also good (the only politicians I really care for)! The Bacon Bourbon Marmalade might sound weird but it's the ultimate condiment and they'll usually give you a side of it for free! Torchy's has some of the best chips and queso, great frozen margaritas and a super easy to use app! They're usually playing some good music (often a little too loudly) but we typically just order to-go! The people are always nice and friendly and the service is usually pretty fast! read more

We ordered our food along our friends at 6:31 and we didn't receive our food until 7:00, and they didn't receive theirs until after 7:10. There was three other people in the restaurant at the time and we didn't receive any apologies or refill on chips while we waited for our friends' food to come out. read more

Although I've been to Torchy's before in the DFW area, this is my first review on our new Abilene location. Atmosphere: Not your normal everyday strip mall environment, they have a very nice outdoor seating area with faux wood picnic tables which are very nice. Inside is very clean. 1 Star Service: It's a fast casual place so service is generally limited to your register experience and the runner who brings out your meal. I've been twice now and the register experience has been fantastic. They seemed very knowledgeable for a brand new restaurant opening (good training). Quick to make substitutions without having to call a manager over and also extremely friendly. The runners asked us each time if there was anything we needed and even came back around to check again. 2 Stars Food: I try to make it hard to get a 5 star rating because the food has to be super strong to rate both stars. Even though this isn't a fine dining experience and I wouldn't rate the food in that respect, it's still very good food for a fast food place. I have now tried 5 different tacos from the menu and have not been disappointed in the least. The ingredients all look, smell, and taste fresh. The sauces are top-notch and I haven't received any meat item that was over or undercooked. The taste combinations are well balanced. I'm actually quite impressed. As a fast casual place it deserves 5 stars. 2 Stars Well, I'll definitely be going back and it may become a regular of mine after the newness wears off and the line chill's out. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Abilene, Texas

So to preface, I have probably eaten Torchy's a thousand times, might actually be an under-exaggeration. My favorite tacos were the Mad Cow on the secret menu or the Democrat. The best taco of all time they created was the Big Pilgrim, I miss it every November. However, this is not a very good location is my only guess. Today will most likely be the last time we eat here. I ordered a family pack to go via online and my wife arrived shortly after it said it would be ready. It took another half hour to get it while every person she spoke to told her it was ready in the back. That was helpful. By the time she got the food, she was very ready to go, so for some reason she overlooked checking the bags. Huge mistake. So at home we start unpacking this meal that is supposed to feed 4-5. I guess if everyone eats a taco that could work, but you will not get 8 tacos out of what we received. This is the first time I tried the family pack. Extremely disappointed. Not going to feed a family, especially since some of my items were not even there, but this is not the first disappointment from this location. Incompetence for the win. I took a pic so you can see what $50 gets you here to feed your family. The meat and onions looks bigger than it is. Cheese was less than half. The only thing not skimped on was the beans, but they did not taste good so it was a lose. Also, check out the nice brown, splotchy avocado slices. I really wish this was a Freebirds, their family packs are perfect and the app is better. Now I want Freebirds, especially since I'm still hungry from running out of food. read more

The difference that happened in 4 months, the last time I ate there food was great, cleanliness not the best, the young girls bringing the food seemed a little snobby. I was visiting my parents and they decided to go there again. It appeared a little cleaner but the food was nowhere near as good, I'm not sure what happened between visits but I will not be going to Torchy's again especially after seeing the health inspection score it sickened me to think. Can't say I'm surprised my dad who eats local, comes here more often then I have said it's hit or miss depending on what day of the week. Coming during the day always better he said and that evening isn't a gamble he takes often until a month or so ago when the timeliness improved and actually got a good taco. read more

I wanted to give this location the benefit of the doubt since the first time I visited they were fairly new. One year later they still suck! The table are disgusting, we ended up getting the cleaning towel and rag off the trash can and clean our own table. They were probably at 20% capacity yet every table was dirty. They were out of both brisket and chicken!?! How!??? We eat Torchy's at a minimum once a week in our hometown, and they are amazing. This one is garbage. read more

The slogan is correct, Damn Good! It is a sigh of relief to be writing a GOOD review as the last few times in Abilene, we haven't had the best of luck! I had eaten at the one in Austin so when I saw there was one in Abilene, we had to try it! So thankful we did! Each part was delightful! Chips and queso, the barbacoa (cuz I don't care for the real name) and Baja shrimp were amazing! The crossroads and brushfire also were not only delish but enough to feed a grown man! We are still talking about how great it was hours later!! The service was phenomenal as well, we sat at the bar so we were able to visit more with the servers and manger which was also very pleasant! We will be back for sure! read more

The food was not good at all I only took about 1 bite of each thing. Very weird flavors did not mix well. I am an adventurous eater and have tried many different tacos but these were definitely in the bottom of the list. The atmosphere was nice and staff was friendly but food was garbage. Will not be returning. read more

Torchy's Tacos - 1 trailer trash, trashy and 1 democrat and a side of street corn. - Tacos Near Me - Abilene, Texas

I waited almost an hour for a to-go order of queso. The restaurant was not busy at all. I finally asked the bartender if she could check on it and she looked put out and said "they'll bring it up when it's ready". Then she changed her mind and said she'd check. She came back she said they are training people back there.. so it's a good thing she checked because I don't think it was coming . When I did get it.. they forgot the avocado. Just an overall unpleasant experience. read more

I've eaten a Torchy's in the MetroPlex and they were good. Abilene, the two times I've tried it , is not so good. The food came out Luke warm. Drinks are not well made with bland taste and presentation. Everything is over priced for the quality. I would rather do Rosa's, better prices and quality. read more
