Had a craving for Torchy's during a Monday early this month. Being in the Cypress area for the week, all I could think of was where could I find breakfast tacos when Torchy's came to mind. I dove into their app and punching in an order for their migas taco and the wrangler. Since I was on an empty stomach, I also ordered a Democrat taco, Mr. Orange, the Matador, and the Green Chili Pork Missionary. Came out to a little over $40 after tax and tip. After picking up my eats at the location and coming back to my hotel to dig in, I realized I probably ordered more than what my stomach could handle. But who am I to let food go to waste, especially after unwrapping everything? The Wrangler and Migas followed by the Matador and Green Chili Pork Missionary were my faves. The migas and wrangler are solid breakfast eats; so thankful those are served all day. The matador and pork missionary are double wrapped with a crispy corn tortilla inside a flour tortilla so it holds up nicely. And it's necessary given all the ingredients and toppings inside those tacos. The Mr. Orange is ok but wouldn't order again. The Democrat has nice barbacoa with avocado and cotija cheese but the tortilla almost fell apart so I knife/forked it. While I prefer taco spots that aren't chains, I'm not opposed to having eats from Torchy's; especially this location which I found to be clean and efficient. read more

visited my friend in texas and this was one of my favorite spots that i got to try for the weekend. the line wasn't too bad when we came around 7pm and you just order at the tablet. the queso is chef's kiss, so cheesy and a bit small honestly but so good that we got another one to go. the street corn was my FAVORITE out of everything i wanted to buy another one. the seasoning was sooo good and the corn was juicy and perfect. for tacos, i got the crossroads and the baja shrimp. the shrimp was top tier, there were a lot of onions though so i just took some out. the meat in the crossroads was delicious!! i added some orange spicy flavoring which made is 10x better. what topped everything off was the view next to the lake. it was raining with lightning so we stayed inside for a bit to wait out the storm, and watching the rain droplets fall on the window with the lighting strikes in the sky + the lake view was magical. read more

We did an online order and when we came to pick it up, it was unfortunately stolen off the To-Go Shelf. We were not able to wait for them to remake our food, but Trishelle refunded us and offered for us to come back the next day and enjoy lunch for free to make up for the inconvenience. Trishelle, Britney, and Jayra were friendly and ensured our visit went smoothly. Our food was fresh and delicious. We will be back to eat in person! read more

I love Torchy's! The Towne Lake Torchy's in particular has such a beautiful view overlooking the water. It's always clean at this location. The tacos are always so good - they never disappoint! The employees there are respectful and friendly. Everything you wish an eating establishment would be - is right here at this Torchy's location. A definite 5 star rating from me! read more

The food is always a hit at Torchys, so no complaints there. The flavors and the way things are made is pretty consistent with each location. Rating is a little lower for a couple of reasons. This location has self order kiosks, which I ended up having to use. I feel like it takes away from the experience, but I understand using them when there is a long line. There wasn't a line this time, but there was one person with the cashier that was taking a little bit of time, so I opted for the kiosk. Kiosk was pretty easy to use, but you have to wait for the cashier to check your receipt in order to give you a cup for your drink. So, alas, I had to wait again. While I was waiting I noticed there were many dirty tables, but not a lot customers. There is one-two people helping clean. Maybe I missed the rush. It took about 20 minutes to get my food. I ordered a Democrat in a bowl. read more

I had an unbelievably bad experience at Torchy's Tacos. An employee spilled an entire taco down my back, covering me and my clothes in food. Accidents happen, but what made the situation completely unacceptable was that no one even acknowledged the accident. I was given some napkins to clean up and that's it. The total lack of concern or basic customer service was shocking. I won't be returning. read more

Torchy's has come a long way from when it first came to Houston. The once edgy, fun, clean, and fusion filled taco joint that came from a bustling Taco truck that started in Austin is now a corporate, dirty, grimy, sleezy and overpriced shadow of its former self. No more Independent Taco, Maine Root sodas, or a few other staple items. The menu has changed and even originals are different and gross. The independently owned cane sugar soda fountain drinks are now syrupy Coke brand products. The prices? 30-40% more than when they opened here. This business is a prime example of what happens when a small company sells out to a corporate shill and is completely ruined. RIP Torchy's and its former self. You have forever lost my business. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Ketchup? ... in a taco place? - Tacos Near Me - Cypress, Texas

What better way to end a Thursday night after a workout than to get tacos. It's now taco Thursday for us! I ordered online and got a pickup time for my order. True to form, as I walked up to the place, my order was placed on the rack for pickup orders. One tip: check your order before leaving. I was missing rice and an order of rice and beans. I always check for rewards and I got a birthday reward for free chips and queso. I swear my birthday keeps getting better and better. Their chips and queso hit the spot every time. It's filling for me like a meal. Also got our faves: fried shrimp taco, grilled fish taco, chicken fajita taco, jerk chicken (which was delicious over my leftover salad), all times 2 for me and my family. The only bad thing was my missing items but the food was very good. read more

I love coming to the boardwalk to enjoy a nice meal outside. I have not been to torchy's in a while, and I was very impressed that they have updated their menu. They even have a happy hour and some new bowls. They have added a self-serve kiosk for you to be able to order your food and pay with that cashier. I don't know why so many places are doing this, but I do love the fact that it has pictures on the menu at the kiosk. read more

Love the location! There's outdoor seating looking over the lake and I'm a sucker for a water view. Service is lacking. Although checkout was patient, there wasn't much more than that. Very slow and just oblivious of serving. Probably since it's an order at the register style restaurant but you still need to make sure the customers that you're giving the food to have everything they need before you walk away. Our chips and queso took at least a good 30 minutes while we were watching others come in and get their chips quickly. Looks like the server just couldn't find us although they gave us trackers so I'm not sure what's up. We had a variety of tacos between shrimp, migas, and beef along with the queso. In my opinion the queso was the best part. Unfortunately the tacos were pretty bland and dry. I even tried grilled versus a fried shrimp taco and the only seasoning came from the pickled onions and very little sauce. Unfortunately, I'm just not a fan. read more

Hung out with my favorite ladies on Sunday and we decided to eat at Torchy tacos for dinner. We decided to eat outside because the view was amazing and the weather was perfect.

The restaurant offers a fun vibe and has a great view of the lake. There is a full bar if you like to partake but they also have good lemonade, soda and sweet tea options. When you walk in, you order and then find your seat. The cashier was super fun and helped me choose some great menu items. I ordered a small queso with the Diablo sauce on the side. When they brought it out, I was disappointed in the size at first because it was so little. However, the pan was deep! I also ordered 2 shrimp tacos, one grilled and one fried. Great choice. As the wise would say, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I couldn't eat my second taco. Overall, the food was good. The service is almost self-serve. Once they bring your food to the table, they don't come back to check in with you. So if you need something, you have to either go back to the counter or find what you need. I'd go back for a quick bite if someone else wanted to go but it's not a place I would crave. read more

The food was spot on and tasted great. I loved their salsa,s especially the Diablo salsa. The service is more self service in that you order and they bring it out. Drinks you do yourself as well as boxing etc. The ambiance is what you would expect from a taco shop place it's nothing amazing, but clean, well laid out, and friendly people. read more

What sets this Torchys apart from every other Torchys - the location! While parking is always a journey at Townlake, few beauties in life beat sipping a marg on their patio while watching the sunset and the birds flock over Townlake. I can only speak to the dine in experience for now, and for that I can say the restaurant was clean, still feeling "like new", the service was fine, and true taco of the month this month (Oct 2024) is fabulous! The queso was doing its thing per usual, and I'm terribly sad to see Nookie are no longer on the menu :(. Pro tip for Torchy's first timers: *There a lot behind Townlake if you're having trouble finding parking *order the queso *check out the taco of the month and the secret menu before you arrive! read more

I haven't had their tacos in a long time. But on my last 2 visits, I did try their chips & queso and added the Jamaican jerk chicken to it and that was good. And then I tried their Big A$$ Gambler quesadilla and made it "Trashy" (added the queso to the side). It was ok nothing to be excited about. Maybe I'll try a taco on another visit. Customer service has always been great from the cashier to their waitstaff that cleans the table. Everyone is kind and helpful and they keep the place clean. read more

Torchy's is just different. Every time I go there is a new explosion of flavored tacos. They really do a great job. I really like how they have a new taco every month. Seating inside and out is a great option and the service is alway quick. This is a place to visit at least once or twice a week. read more

Teresa one of the managers reached out to me about my review and apologized for my experience. The greatest part was that she even asked if I would be willing to give them a second chance. Of course I did as I love having a great experience to write about at any restaurant I visit. Trichelle was the hospitality manager that took care of my wife and I. She was absolutely amazing, our food was extremely fresh and met the standards of what you would expect from a Torchy's. Not only that she was pleasant to deal with and greeted every customer with smile and checked on everyone. I look forward to continued great experiences at this Torchy's and am glad I was offered the opportunity to update my review. Fyi the pictures look amazing, but don't do how great the food was any justice read more

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

We dined here over a MONTH ago. The restaurant is in a prime location but poorly run. We didn't enjoy the blaring music as well. The restaurant was not busy but we waited a good 30 minutes for cold food. We returned the COLD food promptly to Jessie the manager. He told us he could not refund our money because they had a new system. STRANGE because the system took our money. We called him back a few days later to say we never received our refund and were told to wait and our refund would pop up. Well it didn't. We called three times since. The last time it was a female manager telling me she was busy and to email which I did. This is not the way to run a business. He should have pulled the money from the register or his pocket. This was a scam from the moment we returned the food. Return our money. You need to replace management and serve hot food. Unacceptable. So I get a reply from the business owner to go down another rabbit hole? Still no one stepping up to refund my money or take responsibility. I still need to do the leg work? read more

I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews. I think Torchy's is great! They have several vegetarian taco options, the refried beans are great, and they have tons of cool salsas. The dining room and patio overlook the lake, giving the place a cool vibe. The staff are nice, there's lots of nearby parking, and the prices are reasonable. read more

So, I'm updating. Nothing has changed here. Everyone who is in leadership positions here all the way up to the owner are completely incompetent and don't have any business in food service. They don't have any smart people working here. They're all confused and thinking about whether they're a male or female and can't decide. Torchy's is officially trash now. It's always dirty, and the soda fountain never works. To save face, you have some idiot that responds to these and tells you to go to some website to discuss further, but nothing changes. They fix nothing. Same song and dance: cold food, worse quality than in the beginning, and nothing but incomplete orders that you paid for. My family and I will not be giving this crap place and its people our hard-earned money any longer. Hell, any dump taco truck is better than Torchy's at this point. Besides, your money is going to causes most people in Cypress DO NOT support. Service and quality has gone so downhill and nothing changes. A bunch of lazy, incompetent idiots here at Torchy's. They deserve to go out of business, and I really hope they do. To hell with Torchy's!!! read more

Several days ago, I visited Torchy's in Cypress, Texas on Barker Cypress and Tuckerton, and specifically requested no salt on my chips. When I got home, I noticed that my chips were heavily salted. I called the restaurant to explain my concern, and while the manager answered, she seemed very stressed and distracted. I also mentioned that one of the staff members had been rude, abrupt, and unhelpful during my visit. The manager explained they were short-staffed and was rather dismissive of my concern. I requested a refund, and she stated that she would need my credit card information but would also add my name to a list for a free meal and issue a credit refund when I return. When I returned today, the same manager again seemed overwhelmed and unprofessional, she was about to start an interview and abrupt told another staff member what I needed. The employee appeared confused about whether I was supposed to pay or not, and later the manager denied ever saying she would process the refund. She seem to lack the necessary management experience regarding customer service. It's clear this location is struggling with poor communication and lack of effective management. I've always enjoyed Torcy's food, but this experience was extremely disappointing. I hope corporate leadership reviews this location's training and staffing to ensure customers receive the level of service the brand is known for. read more

I enjoy the atmosphere here and how they have it set up. Corner parking in this area is a little tight but not a deal breaker. These are NOT traditional tacos which is a very cool concept lots of variety in flavor and something for everyone. I'm obsessed with the chile queso and the Baja taco. Not a fan of any of the breakfast tacos but I hear some are great if that is your desire. They have a well stocked bar but don't expect too many premiums. The selection is decent and on weekends they have specials and a happy hour on weekdays. They have a order then seat yourself type of flow. Service can be a little slow if it's busy. This area is up and coming and has a lot of youth aged customers so expect noise. On a sunny day there is a great view of the lake and even the option to eat on the patio. Bathrooms are small. 2 stalls and one sink only which is surprising considering how busy they get. Again, not a deal breaker. All around I'm happy with the location and enjoy the food selections. read more

I had a great experience at thus Torchy's location. I ordered my food for pickup but the weather was so nice that I decided to eat my food outside by the lake which was a great view! I ordered a chicken fajita taco, side of rice and a half order of queso and chips. The chicken fajita taco was delicious. The meat had a nice chargrilled flavor that I really enjoyed and the grilled peppers and tortilla were also very fresh! I was surprised that my taco was filled proportionately because at other locations i've gotten very small tacos but this wasn't the case here. The queso was good as always, and as for the rice i'm not much of a fan. It's edible but honestly tastes like boxed Mexican rice that they doctored up. It tasted better when I put some queso and salsa on top but I don't know if i'd get that again. I even had a lemonade while here and it was also super delicious. I will definitely come back for the food and to enjoy the beautiful lake! read more

Been here twice...both times to go, both times my greedy ass started eating in the car... First time, I waited for them to complete preparation. Food wasn't hot. 2nd time I DoorDashed, never was pinged when it was ready so I went by the estimate. Food had little heat. Now I always get the democrat. Fav taco there but this location hasn't made it right like the one I normally go to on Louetta. Maybe if served hot, I'd have less complaint. I've ordered a trashy trailer park and it's hit or miss apparently. I never thought twice about ordering churros at Torchy's and if this location is any indication, ima pass! They were half cooked and barely had any cinnamon sugar. I ate one and the other 4 still bagged up for a couple days. The hillbilly queso and guacamole half orders were good. The queso reheats well so that's why. Customer service has been good both times. The first time was curbside and the young boy was helpful checking on my food. And this most recent experience, I was coming in with a handicap party behind me. As I went to hold the door, a worker said, "I got it ma'am" and proceeded to take over. AA woman with a gold tooth, I didn't catch her name. But she held the door a little while so I was happy she did that. She also came back and took my order since I was waiting behind someone taking all day at another register. read more

Used to come here monthly, but probably won't be back. I ordered a taco (that I have gotten so many times before) and it was ice cold. I would have eaten it if it was just room temperature, but not cold... when I asked for it to be remade, it was brought out to me with the (still very cold) toppings on the side and was told that it's supposed to be like that and always comes out like that (it doesn't). I got a refund for the taco and asked for the managers name. She refused to give it to me and just kept repeating "I am the managing partner" until she walked away. Luckily the managing partners name is displayed in the front of the restaurant, to which I can now say Theresa Cano is extremely unprofessional. read more

I went in this afternoon for a quick taco with my girlfriend. We come in monthly to try the taco of the month. Not big fans of shrimp, we ordered our usual tacos. A tipsy chick for her and a hogfather for me. We ordered, sat down, and food came out quickly. My taco was satisfactory, it's been better but meh whatever, I still scarfed mine down no problem. Her tipsy chick however was down right cold, the bacon marmalade and corn pico were in sealed containers on the side and felt like they just came out of a prep cooler. So we asked for it to be remade, and they did. Before the remake, they made sure to remark that these ingredients are kept cold and that only the chicken is cooked so the taco may be a little cold. A little confusing considering my taco has some of the same ingredients, which are kept cold too, and my taco came out hot. Then the remade tipsy chick came out, even colder. The cheese on top was still hard and cold. Not remotely close to melting. Marmalade and Pico and still icy cold. Lettuce beneath was cold. We asked for a refund because we have ordered this many of times and we expected a hot/warm taco. They gave us the refund, but not before explaining again that the ingredients are kept cold and that we should just expect that to be a semi-cold taco. Hold on. What? We've ordered that for months and months and it's never once come out cold, why should we accept that now? Obviously upset with the poor quality, and service, we asked for her name. She stubbornly refused to give her name and she just nodded and repeated "I'm the MP, I'm the MP." Unforunately, Teresa Cano has her face and name on the wall titled Managing Partner and I caught it on the way out of the building. read more

I walked around the area with friends looking for a quick bite and some drinks, and decided to try this place. It looked like a regular texmex spot inside. Overall, the food was really good. It tasted better than it looked. We ordered chips & guac, chicken fajitas, steak fajitas, the trailer park (that doesn't even sound like a good name & it was the only food we tried that didn't taste good), and damn good tots. For drinks we got the titos cherry limeade, sangria swirl, house rocks, and the sucker punch. The sucker punch was the best drink. It tastes like you should be on a resort in the islands with a pineapple garnish. The prices were good. Drinks were $8-$11 which is great for non-happy hour prices. After you place your order at the register, they give you a tracker device where they will bring your food and drinks to you. I love that I didn't have to wait there and carry my own food. So we secured seating on their outdoor patio and they came out with the food and drinks in great timing. We went on a thursday night around 8pm so it wasnt packed. read more

The Chips & Queso used to be awesome. Now it's a ball of slimy gunk that resembles phlegm. Doesn't look or taste the same as it once was. Served with a small ball of fake guacamole (Louetta location). I knew once Torchy's moved from a truck to a storefront, this was bound to happen. The quality control is just not there. It took Torchy's several years to become complacent and here you are. Your food depends on the cook, who is serving, and in what location. Don't expect consistency. read more

I just had the worst customer experience EVER! I placed an order inside, and let them know I'm going to my car to take business calls and my dog was in there. I'll be back 10-15 minutes. 15 minutes go by and I go inside, there was no one at the counter (no big deal), but I see a bag at the counter that was my order. I'm calm and chill, grab my back. I walk out of the building and almost to my car as 2 employees yelled at me and asked if I got the right order (they already knew I did) continued to lecture me on I can't go behind the counter like that and explaining someone was going to come out. Seriously who cares? The right thing to say would be to "I want to make sure you got the right order, have a nice day". As they continue to shake their head and talk sh!t under their breath I lost my cool. You do not treat people, especially customers that way. I argued with them as the manager came out and she yelled at me to not talk to her employees that way. Fuck that they initiated everything!!!!! I will not be going back read more

The order is always incorrect. I stopped ordering for almost a year. Decided to try again and I give up. On top of order being wrong, the tortilla didnt taste fully cooked & cheese wasnt melted because tacos were cold. Too expensive to be pulling apart and trashing read more
