Excellent fast food tacos! When in Austin you must go to Torchy's! I don't believe that they make a bad taco... oh and make it Trashy!

Don't sleep on the salad with grilled chicken! It may have been the best salad I have ever had. The toppings were fresh, the dressing was the perfect amount of creaminess and full of flavor. I washed it down with their incredible queso and large portion of chips. My only regret is not saving room to actually try their tacos. Next time for sure! Service was friendly and fast, be sure to ask for salsas! There is plenty of outdoor seating and several tables inside as well. read more

Gosh I love this place so much. Queso, whatever taco sounds good and a margarita hits the spot every time.

The tacos here are good, if not better than any nearby place. I absolutely loved the mad cow taco. They have all these traditional Mexican flavors with a zing of their own. This location is rather small with about 5 tables so it gets a bit crowded sometimes. The service is fast but the order process was a bit long, the staff gets very confused when you have a bigger party. But the food makes up for all other flaws. read more

I downloaded the app and used for the first time today. My order stated it would be ready at 3:25. I arrived at 3:20 and told them I was there. The female cashier said it will be ready in a few minis without even looking up the order. I stood and waited. No customers came to the store or drive through. My order was next in line. I saw the male cashier check and did nothing. At 3:25 I asked for a status check and I was told it is not supported to be ready yet. Just so happened that the manager walked in and reviewed the order. He immediately went behind the food prep counter and started my order. 5 minutes later the order was ready. The manager apologized multiple times. He gave a lame excuse about how shift changes can cause delays. Not something a customer wants to hear or experience. The male and female cashier were unbothered that an order could sit there waited to be completed with a customer waiting. When the male cashier handed me my food he did not make eye contact. So much for under promise and over deliver. This type of service kills restaurant. Not being customer centric is awful. read more

Really good tacos and a nice outdoor patio area. Red salsa had a good kick to go along with the chips. Tacos are bigger than we remember, and we probably ordered too many. The Wrangler, #4, and other breakfast tacos were all very good. The Scallywag, Democrat, and other varieties we tried were good as well. At $5/each, they're not cheap, but they've got good flavor. read more

A great spot for some local tacos. Everyone said GET the Queso and of course we did! Great flavor and many specialty tacos. My favorite was the low rider, we also tried the shrimp, brisket and of course the trailer park. All in all decent tacos with the clear winner being the taco of the month. The low rider, get it before it's gone. read more

Tacos are so good. The service here is amazing! Nice little outside dining option too.

I love that this spot is more old school. Some of the newer locations have been very hit or miss over the past year. Especially since they are trying to go public. Shake shack take 2. Anyway this spot is small inside with most seating outside and awesome tacos. read more

The migas taco is superior!! So yummy!! Ordering ahead is a huge time saver, and the staff are always friendly.

Love the chicken fajitas tacos! And the queso and guacamole! Judy is always so helpful in the drive thru!

What could improve? ...everything. As is, so so so gross. Nothing like cold, wet, gross tacos.

Great drinks, great food, usually good service. It's a standard torchys. My favorites are the queso and fried avocado. The have a couple of vegetarian options. The sangria swirls is also amazing read more

This was the most disappointing Torchy's experience, and the worst location I have ever been to. This is a really small location, there is a drive-thru, but no margaritas. I understand because it's so small they can't have a full bar like other locations, but Torchy's is known for their margaritas. Put up a frozen margarita machine and call it a day. This has NOTHING to do with my poor review, just a disappointment. I went inside to order because the drive thru seemed to be taking forever - makes sense as it is made to order. I got inside and placed my order. There was a guy inside not wearing his mask properly, and no one who worked there said a thing to him. If people cannot follow the rules, they shouldn't be allowed in. While I waited for my food, another man came in waiting for his food and had his mask hanging under his nose as well - again, no one said anything. The tables inside are closed for eating, which makes sense because the place is so small inside. However, they were not keeping up with how many people were in there and it was impossible to keep 6 feet. And a staff member went to eat, they sat at the table area inside with their masks off, right next to everyone. Not social distancing at all. Their safety protocols need to be evaluated. As I waited and waited for my food, more and more people came in and ordered their food. Somehow I was the last person waiting for my food in there. Everyone else received their food before me. I think 6 cars went through the drive thru behind the car we were originally behind, and got their order before me. They do not have any priority to filling them. They just fill them and are all on top of each other trying to do so. Now the food. I ordered the fried avocado in a bowl and a chicken quesadilla. The fried avocado taco was not fried. They battered it and stuck it in the bowl raw. Raw gross breadcrumbs (picture attached). I mean seriously? My chicken quesadilla had no chicken in it and was overstuffed with half melted cheese. It was an inedible, greasy glob of cheese. Just beyond disgusting and disappointing. My boyfriend said his food was good tho - he had a trailer park, trash and a chicken fajita. I understand that they were super busy, but Torchy's is usually busy and they should be able to keep it together. Their efforts yesterday were beyond pathetic. There is no excuse for uncooked food and not maintaining health and safety guidelines. I would definitely suggest a different location if you want the true Torchy's experience. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Raw, uncooked breadcrumbs on "fried" avocado taco. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Austin, Texas

I debated what to star this. This is my usual Torchy's location and so I'm sort of use to the staff. Some are really pleasant while others can't be bothered. My son and I have come to the conclusion that they're just SO busy here that customer service isn't on their radar. Does that make it right though? I'm not sure. No one is out right rude but friendly is not their repertoire. I will say that the house is clean, and this location is constantly pushing out tacos. The food is consistently delicious and that's what we're ultimately here for right? They have monthly taco specials and a hidden menu. Between vegetarians and meat eaters in our house, it is awesome to find a restaurant where everyone is excited about the food. read more

Torchy's tacos. Even President Obama made an effort to stop here! Yummy! Their queso is some of the best I've had. Spicy and good. Their tacos are great - lots of options - even custom. Salsa is very good, too. My favorite feature about this particular location is the drive-thru. It makes for an easy stop to grab & take back to the office. read more

First time at this location. Omg best ever! Talk about an Austin eatery. Lots of bc personality. And is this a flagship store?! ‍ Brought family member for first Torchy Taco visit. We ordered the fried avocado tacos but didn't understand the avocados would come out breaded. For someone that eats gluten-free this is the place! Went back in to order avocados with no breading and Spencer hooked us up! He wouldn't let us pay for the reorder either. Thank you for the great service, plentiful fresh food for a great price and an even amazing-er staff attitudes all around. read more

Ordered a couple Trailer Park Trashy tacos and got a fried piece of something (plastic maybe??) in one of my tacos instead of chicken... Everything else in the order was fine. Maybe the chef accidentally dropped whatever that was into the fryer and I just got lucky. They gave me a refund on the order which was appreciated, but won't be eating at this location again. read more

Wow everything is bigger in Texas...;) My friends and I came to TT right when they were opened which was 8am. We thought it'd be nice to have us some breakfast here before visiting Hamilton's Pool Reserve that morning :) Surprisingly it started getting busy within an hour. Didn't realize this place was that crackin' in the morning but who doesn't love tacos for breakfast?! My friends and I ordered about 2/3 tacos each. My fatass was debating about going hard and ordering 3 tacos for myself, but thank god I did not. When I saw how big the tacos ended being I was like oh god damn...good thing I only ordered 2 :P We all shared the Green Chile Queso & Chips was so freaking good. Especially when you dip your tacos in the dip...yasssss. I ended up getting the The Wrangler (Bfast taco) & The Democrat. The Wrangler had beef brisket while The Democrat had beef barbacoa. Both were so good and so filling. They really stack a lot of fixings in your tacos. Each taco is about $4-$5 each which is a bit on the pricey side but you definitely get your moneys worth. If I could eat a taco everyday I would. My tummy wouldn't let me but my mouth would! Definitely hands down a place to try when in Austin! :) I will be back! read more

Been coming here since high school (almost 10 years wowza) and NEVER not ONCE has it disappointed me. This is amazing, Torchy's, please don't ever change. Breakfast tacos always have a special place in my heart, no matter the time of day - specifically the migas and potato, egg, & cheese ones. Torchys' breakfast tacos just hit different. Fried avocado, baja shrimp, and the brushfire are always solid choices. The queso of course. Mmmmm. Nookies are amazing. Now I must depart and get some Torchy's. read more

Honestly not the biggest fan of Torchy's. The tacos are fine but I've definitely had better. Personally, I enjoy the breakfast tacos and anything with their brisket. Their queso and salsa are also delicious and maybe my favorite part. read more

We were visiting from Seattle and came here for some good ol' Texas tacos. I ordered the salmon taco which was one of the best I've ever eaten. So flavorful and the corn tortilla was melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Their famous sauce is spicy... but so dang flavorful. We ended up taking two bottles home. The tacos are about $4 each and can only feed one person, but the quality is worth it. The service here is also outstanding. Highly recommend this place and the next time I'm out there again, I'll definitely be stopping by with an even bigger appetite! read more

BEST.FOOD.EVER!!! I'm so sad I live in LA only for the reason of having to travel to Texas o have torchys tacos! I'm definitely not exaggerating when I say it's the best food ever-at least in the taco game. I came here in 2015 for my first time and have been craving it since until yesterday when we had another glorious round of torchys. This time I had the shrimp taco which was so good! Before I've had the fried avocado one which was pretty good for being vegan. I can't remember the other onces I've tried but they are ALL GOOD! And the queso?!!?? Literally heaven on earth. You must try it! Guacamole is so fresh with lots of lime. Unique soda bar options as well. Go here go here go here go here!!! read more

This is, by far, the friendliest and most efficient Torchy's I have ever been to! The staff is incredibly friendly, the food comes out hot, fast and done right. If you're an Austinite, you already know all the goods and the secret menu, etc. Just know that THIS Torchy's is really the best around. read more

You really can't go wrong with any Torchy's anywhere, and this location is no exception. Great tacos and excellent customer service! They don't skimp on the salsa either! Tell them you want salsa, oh, they'll give you salsa, and plenty of it (this is major for me)! My only qualm is, the drive-thru takes awhile, but no stars lost over that, as they make up for it in other ways. This review is solely based on food and customer service because I haven't dined in just yet; but judging from inside of my car, the patio is a nice size, I'll have to check it out one day. Salsa! read more

LOVE TORCHEYS, this place though (spice wood) needs some training in customer service. The drive thru worker that works nights is not friendly. I have experienced him many many times as I'm a regular, and he changes the way he talks to you based on your tip. Tonight I didn't leave him one as he was rude and he slammed the window on me twice. read more

If you live in Austin, you already know Torchy's Tacos are amazing. If you are a dedicated Torchy's Tacos aficionado, And by that I mean a truly truly dedicated Torchy's Taco aficionado, Then you know about the SECRET MENU at Torchy's. Most human beings do not know about the Secret Menu at Torchy's Tacos. Samuel C. in his heroic mission to eliminate the suffering of the world Will now break the wall of silence about the SECRET MENU. * * * The Secret Menu at Torchy's is awesome. At the Spicewood Springs Torchy's they actually have the secret menu up for display at the counter. It is the most open and candid of all of the Torchy's. Drive-through customers at Spicewood Springs do not get this benefit. This is a tragedy for car drivers everywhere. Car drivers should come on inside and find all the pleasures they are missing. At other Torchy's the secret menu is a semi-secret or an absolute deeply held don't-tell-a-soul secret. To order off the SECRET MENU, you have to ask for it explicitly. Do so. Rainbows will appear in the sky. Fairy godmothers and golden unicorns will appear with baskets of flowers singing hymns of joy. They will give you the secret menu and the gates of paradise will miraculously open. Do you have someone you truly love? Don't buy her a fancy ring. Don't get her name tattooed on your buttock. Don't get her name tattooed on someone else's buttock. Take her to Torchy's and show her the secret menu. Your love will now be permanent and last forever. * * * And if she leaves you anyway ... Ah, well ... You can still console yourself by asking for the Secret Menu and eating amazing tacos. read more

First off...I love Torchy's and their food. This location, not so much. I've tried getting to go by ordering inside (pre-Covid) and I've tried driving thru many times. Unless it's an off hour on a weekday, you can guarantee it will take 30-45 to get your order. I've tried a few times to drive thru and, after sitting without moving for 15 minutes, have driven off. Today I was really craving their food, so I waited it out. I got in line at 2:03 and was 3 cars from ordering. I received my food at 2:41. Once you get about 2 cars from ordering, you are all in at that point. There is no way to get out of line, no matter how long it takes. In the past the cashiers in the drive thru have always been pretty nice, even when busy. But today, the cashier must have been having a really bad day. First off, they have to wear masks (and I appreciate that) but between being muffled while taking my order, as well as their sucky intercom system, I couldn't understand a word she was saying (I've never had this problem in the past). At one point she rudely screamed, "I'm asking you if you want a flour or corn tortilla". I had to repeat part of my order 3 times (and all I was ordering was a taco and half order of queso). She was definitely not overly friendly when I got to the window to pick up my order. As I was sitting in line waiting for my food, I noticed this location had signs for curbside pickup, so when I got home I looked up on their website to see if you could order online for curbside pickup. Not a single mention of curbside pickup on their website at all. Again, I love Torchy's food. Whenever I have people visit from out of town, I always take them to Torchy's. But I'll be avoiding this location going forward, which sadly means I'll probably be going to Torchy's less than I have done in the past. read more

Yes I do love me some Torchy's. The Chips and Queso is 2die4 and love the Breakfast Tacos but have had quite a b of problems lately with order correctness concerning Breakfast Tacos as well as the sauce/salsa that is ordered with them.

Love u Torchy's just had to see other taco shops and sow my wild oats, maybe we'll see each other around? read more

Ordered through Lunch Drop. How can a taco restaurant tolerate bad/inferior/less than excellent corn tortillas? I awarded the third star because the chips and queso are - holy cow! - delicious! wonderful! unparalleled! - incredibly delicious.

Ok so I came here by word of mouth and every time I would see this person, they would say, " Have you been to Torchy's yet" and I love tacos! Absolutely love love love tacos! It's not traditional Mexican style tacos very Americanized but I have to say the place is good! The first time we came I got the tipsy chick and the Baja ship the second time I got the Mr orange and the jerk chicken which there is a name but I forgot! The first two would have to be my favorite rite now! And they are not small two tacos are enough for me! Now the chips and salsa the Roja one OMG that some gooooood ass salsa! I can come here for just that alone! Probably will go tomorrow for lunch for the 3rd time to try two more different ones! Oh my only negative, is that they forget to get you the sauces that come with the tacos which I'm the type of the person the wants the whole experience or nothing at all so for the worker! Just remember the sauces I should not have to ask! But this is not a deal breaker! read more
