    I've never dined in at Torchys, as a matter fact, I've only had torchy's tacos maybe two times and one of them was from a food truck at a wedding. I was hoping they had a drive through but there wasn't one . I figured, how long could it take. Ha! I went on in, the cashier was friendly enough, placed my order and asked for it to go. I was handed a buzzer and that was about it. I had no idea where to wait, where the drink station (it's around the corner you can't see it from the register) was or anything else about this place. I finally decided to find a table and sit down outside and wait. I didn't realize I was supposed to put the buzzer on a certain spot on the table and it would somehow alert the staff where I was I guess? After about 20 minutes, I went inside and asked a bartender if I needed to pick up my food from somewhere since it was to go and he said no, I could just wait there anywhere I'd like and the buzzer sends a signal to the kitchen. I opted to go back outside where I waited for another 15 and my buzzer started buzzing! I looked around and saw no one coming with food so I figured I would just give it a minute. I gave it five minutes and got up to look and see if maybe my food got placed on the rack for delivery drivers. Nope, no food there and now the table I was sitting at has been taken over by someone else. I find somewhere else to sit and put my buzzer on the table and probably for at least another 15 minutes. It continues to buzz and no food in site. Now I'm getting really annoyed because there's no one really to ask and I have no idea what to do here or where my food is. I go back inside and another five minutes of me, standing inside looking and feeling embarrassed and someone suddenly emerges from the kitchen with a bag of food to go. Seriously?! Why has my buzzer been going off for the last 20 minutes? The taco I got was good at least but I have waited less time for a full meal. I also ordered chips and queso and I was expecting cheese, but I'm not sure what was in it except it wasn't what I expected and way too much cilantro. So all that drama for one taco and a half order of chips and queso.

    Is this really necessary??? I didnt request it. Waste container and business's money. Shame on you.

    The food is good. The service from app or order need improvement. If customer didnt request sauces then do not not not put sauce containers in bag. EVER.

    Unfinished taco. It was slimy and not good.

    Very disappointed with our breakfast yesterday at this location. I had the Wrangler and my first bite was a crunchy potato as in raw, not crispy. After my 2nd bite of raw potatoes, I removed the rest from the taco. My friend also experienced the same with her taco. Her daughter said her chicken taco was slimy so she didn't finish it and never touched her 2nd taco. What happened to the good Torchy tacos?

    Don't pass on the guac and queso!

    When I come visit my family in Austin Torchy's is always at the top of my list of places to eat!! The food is always so fresh and delicious and their queso and guacamole just might be my favorite. I've tried a few different tacos but the Trailer Park is my #1. And of course I get it "trashy" which means they remove the lettuce and add queso. 10/10 would recommend!! This location also has great outdoor seating options!

    It's OK. It is nothing as good as the original truck (yes I am that old), but it is actually better than other Torchy's I have tried. The staff was a hoot, especially the cashier, and quite friendly. I had only a breakfast Chorizo and egg taco, but watched a lot of others being made. Spice level was really low, but I have learned, and as I will drop by again, I will get some jalapenos to add. One thing I did like was the tortilla was warm. This is where other Torchy's have failed me. The manager was really friendly also, and made a point of coming over to see me as we were introduced by the cashier. Is it one of my favorite places? No. I like more traditional border style, but it will do in a pinch. If you are a fan of Torchy's, you can get an item that is loosely referred to as the Trailer Trash. It is a Trailer, served trashy style. That will be my next visit. A bit up an update: I went in today and had a Trailer Park, Trash, on corn. It was OK, and had a decent flavor, but no bite and the tortilla was not warm. However, the staff was totally on point as I went in at the lunch rush, they were having computer problems, but still pressed on. I will continue to try it now and then, and I see 4 stars in the future. I will say, right now, that this is the best Torchy's I have eaten at in years.

    They have melanin on tap!

    Wow! Amazing service. Damn good tacos. Plus they have napkins! Chips possibly not homemade but somehow still crispy. I was a little sus at first, but they proved themselves. Water filter might be broken though.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
