    $6.00 The FoSho (1 slice of avocado) Better options in town.

    I used to love torchys. Not sure if eating in is different than us picking up. I got the FoSho bc avocado was first ingredient. I got 1 slice of avocado for $6.00. There are too many options in town to return for this.

    No towing contact information

    I ate dinner here with some friends and spent almost two hours at this location. Our food was good, the staff was somewhat hospitable. We parked behind the location, there are other stores at this location as well shared parking lot. After we ate we left our car there for 2.5 hrs and when we came back it was gone and had no idea where it was. Thankfully one of the managers was still there, told us my car was towed, and gave us the towing companies number. Even after we were customers and had left our car there previously with no problems. The manager we talked to was extremely cold and said they have it posted on the light poles they would tow us even though there was NO CONTACT information for the towing company (which is illegal in the state of Texas) so we would have been stranded if the manager wasn't there.

    Came to Torchy's Tacos for a fun event "Hooky Hour Launch Party". At the event, they had a live DJ on the patio and a paint tattoo station. They were giving out free drink tickets for confessing your best excuse for missing work. Had a photo booth and gave out fun swag like bandanas and flashing horns to wear. The mascot was also on hand interacting with patrons to join in the fun! They have a Hooky Hour from 3-5 with a menu selection at a discounted price. This includes a variety of half price cocktails and $6 food items. The manager came by to check on us and brought us a free chips and queso. With my drink tickets, I tried the mezcal margarita with tajin and mango. Was a fun event and we hung out on the patio and in the bar area. Torchy's also has a great app that will send you rewards like BOGO free tacos.

    Torchy's always has excellent tacos, but they also know how to host fun events! On Friday,October 10th, they had an event called "Hooky Hour Launch Party." There was a Photo Booth with fun props; air brush stencil tattoos( freebies such as devil horns, bandanas and coozies; a DJ; and the Torchy's mascot dancing around, which was hilarious! Every half hour there was a raffle for Torchy's gift cards and VIP after show tickets. I didn't win anything. All drinks were 1/2 off and appetizers were $6. A very nice server named John offered us free chips and queso. It was delicious! The Hooky Hour will also take place on weekdays from 2pm-6pm. So, play hooky from work and check it out!

    My wife absolutely loves the airstream salad and adores the blackened salmon on top. Whilst I love their burritos but alas I'm currently on a cut so I got the bowl instead. All their food is amazing and that corn relish on the salad is outstanding!

    Love these tacos! Not sure what the negative reviews were based on but maybe we got lucky with a good experience. There were five of us and tried 7 types of tacos and a couple quesadillas; everyone was happy. Some come with flour or corn tortillas, so pay attention to that if you care. I liked everything. There was good parking. It was fast and they were friendly staff. Open and airy; spacious, and pretty clean.

    Food: 4/5 Torchys certainly is a very specific type of taco. Fried chicken strips on a tortilla is very good when you're craving it but something you've got to be in the mood for. For the price it's really not bad. Service: 4/5 Pretty quick and friendly, yet nothing to really write home about here. Seemed to be really pushing people through the door. Environment: 5/5 Tons of parking and a great patio! Clean bathrooms to boot.

    This is my neighborhood Torchy's and I have to say, everyone here is just so wonderful and awesome. My husband and I often bring our dog with us because there's a Tomlinson's next door so with all the smells from there and the other restaurants, coming to this plaza is one of her favorite mentally stimulating activities. The staff are so cool about her being with us. We sit outside, but she can be a little barky when we order and they are still genuinely happy to see her. It makes us all feel so welcome and comfortable. I've never had a bad experience at any Torchy's, but it is overwhelmingly obvious that this location puts a lot of heart into making it a great experience for their customers. Thanks for all the care and kindness! From Michael, Jeremy, and Coco

    Man, I love Torchy's. It's fast. It's good quality ingredients and tortillas. It's just spicy enough. Its crispy. It's Tex Mex.

    First time at this Torchy's location. There's plenty of indoor and patio seating. Food was yum as usual. I always have the chips n queso and fried avocado taco and love it. Also had the passion fruit Margarita - a bit too tangy for my taste but also delicious. Service was quick even though it was pretty crowded on a Friday evening.

    This is the best taco place I have found since I've moved!…read more I don't know how often I will come back here I don't know that it's that easy to find parking in this area. We walked from the hotel and ended up eating here twice! I had the extra cheesy volcan tacos they were so good I could smell how they tasted when I walked in. The carve asada was a little salty but it didn't stop me from devouring them! If you come in down the alley like we did you'll walk through what looks to be a little bar area walk-through there and then follow the signs to find the tacos. There were some people walking in with small children as we were walking out and they looked confused walking into the bar and I showed them just keep going you'll find the tacos and then they laughed. Everyone inside was nice and very friendly they run a super efficient operation and it's very clean. Soon as someone gets up somebody cleans the table because somebody's already waiting for a table. The whole thing is like an assembly line you get in line you order you get in line you get your food you walk around the corner and you get a table. Keep it moving people! This is just an amazing taco place with some amazing people highly recommend if you are in the area to go for it. The second time we came back and got more tacos to go and had to pay for parking around the corner so I don't know that it's convenient unless you're walking because parking was really expensive over there I think we paid $20 for 15 minutes.

We weren't even fully through day #2 and were already sick of BBQ. He broke the seal first and suggested Mexican. I found Taqueria De Diez in my bookmarks, and dinner plans were set. This was one of those meals where I was walking out with a pep in my step because I got exactly what I needed. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla + two tacos: Campechana and adobada. I don't even know what my favorite thing was. They were all excellent. The only slight miss were the beans, which were kind of oddly watery. But everything else was perfect, including the jamaica agua fresca. I ended up returning the next night and ordered a carne asada burrito. I didn't love it quite as much, but this is still an easy 5-star review for me. Note: this is not the easiest place to find. You literally have to walk in between some big, orange road blockers (is that what you call them?), to enter an alley. You then walk into a small bar, and then from there, you enter the actual restaurant. It's like a taco speakeasy, and it's glorious.

I ordered an al pastor, lengua, and asada taco, and honestly, they were all so good. The asada was my favorite, but the other two were right behind it. The meat was flavorful, and the salsas had some heat to them, which I appreciated!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken burrito, and it was just okay. The chicken was shredded and could've used a little more seasoning for my taste. I'm also not a huge fan of lettuce in a burrito, so that may have played a part in it not being my favorite. That being said, I'm definitely coming back because those tacos were SO good. Next time, I want to give the burrito another shot and order it my way.

Al pastor is on the more firm side rather than fatty soft pieces, I think it's a decent balance although would've liked a bit more soft (personal preference). I would come back if I was in this part of Austin again, and was really craving some reliable tacos. It's not impressive enough for me to go out of my way to eat, but it's a really good choice if you're passing through already. They're also very quick to get the food out, and the seating area is outdoors but has fans in some spots.

Sixth Street's neon and noise are basically next door, the Capitol sits up the hill, and the whole area is packed with people, bars, and that classic Austin mix of polished downtown hustle and late-night chaos. Velvet Taco is pure counter-service: you walk right up, order at the register, and then grab a seat. There's plenty of seating, so even with a couple of kids in tow it was no problem finding a spot. The place leans hard into what can only be called white-people tacos--soft, sad flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery-store package, loaded with every wild creation the kitchen can invent. Global mashups, brunch hybrids, burger impostors, the works. No one is pretending these are the real deal. I went for the chicken-and-waffles taco, which was actually built on a thin, real waffle instead of a tortilla. Surprisingly good--crispy, a little sweet, chicken holding its own. The burger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger that had wandered into a tortilla and decided to stay. We also tried the shrimp taco (fine), one daughter got the kids' chicken taco (perfectly kid-level), and the other ordered the chicken tikka (spicy, saucy, and very much in the "why is this on a tortilla?" category). Everything was okay. Comparable to Torchy's in that same creative-American-taco lane. If you're looking for a true Mexican taco, stay far away. But if you just want to play around with some decent flavors on a cheap flour store-bought tortilla while sitting in the middle of downtown Austin, this is your spot. Not my favorite. Glad I tried it. Won't be back.

Apparent regulars got a friendly recognition by the front of house when they got to the front of the line. I had a Migas and a Taco Jefe. The fill ratio was correct: I was able to hold it closed without really squeezing, and better, nothing was soggy to weaken the very lightly warmed tortilla. But I wanted a higher salt level in the eggs and steak, and some crisp on both proteins would've improved texture balance. It's pretty solid. I think my mom would give it a 5. But for me, it's a solid 4.

All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

    The Austin heat was breathing down my neck like a dragon as I walked a place recommended by a…read morecoworker. I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez
