Torchy's is always a good idea if you're near one. We went by for beans and guacamole. The service was fairly quick and friendly. The lighting is dim but bright due to ceiling to floor windows at the entry and all the summer sunlight. The FIFA games are on all the televisions so you can watch the games in real time with family and friends. We ordered and waited at the bar. I ordered the trio of salsa(pretty spicy), guacamole, and queso. I tried some queso immediately and tried some of my sisters refried beans and both were super flavorful. I love quick bites with massive amounts of chips. My trio came with two to go bags of tortilla chips and she had one for her order. We always swing by a Torchy's if we're nearby. I love the flavors and speedy service. read more

Another of life's simple pleasures ruined by a meddling bureaucracy. Used to love this place back in the day but probably haven't been in 5 years. My goodness have they gone down hill. $18 for 3 disgusting barely warm tacos. Will never be back. Ever. read more

I haven't been to Torchy's in a while and decided it was time to have it again. I thought my last visit was average, and my latest trip was the same. I'm disappointed because I used to look forward to Torchy's, but now I'll pass. I ordered the special Shuggies, a democrat and chips and salsa. The Shuggies is described as a smash burger with cheese, dill relish, etc on a flour tortilla. Weird, but I was Feeling adventurous. I was soon disappointed. A smashburger patty? How can you tell with the mountain of lettuce and toppings. Couldn't see it and couldn't taste it. Dill relsih? Couldn't find that either. After i scraped off most of the toppings, i found a slice of American cheese on a burger patty; not a smash. Do you need lessons in what a smash patty is? Glad to help if you out. (No not really) The Democrats and chips and salsa were okay. They matched the description, but were not memorable. Service is non-existent. The server had zero interest in his job. What type of restaurant is Torchy's? Kiosks to oder with buzzer pucks, but a full service bar and self serve soft drinks. Odd tome. So why ask to leave a tip on the kiosk? I do the order, handle payment, get my own drink, and bus my table. Why tip? In comparison, Velvet has the vibe of the young Torchy's. They have humans to engage with. Not a full bar, but serve wicked Margs. Chillango's has the authenticity and energy most operators will sell their soul to duplicate. And the tacos are cheap. Authentic food and experience. Not what Torchy's is going for though. So what is Torchy's now and who cut soul out of it? read more

This Torchy's is in a great location for those who work/live in downtown Dallas! The staff is always really nice, and the restaurant is always clean! I always enjoy coming to try their taco of the month! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Taco of the month (The Frontman) with Queso & Chips (VE) and Regular Fountain Drink - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Been once before, and was pleasantly surprised- tacos weren't out of this world, but were very solid. Service was quick, professional, and frictionless. We started with the hillbilly queso and chips, loaded with just enough chorizo to satisfy. I followed with the Baja shrimp taco, whose lime juice and pickled onions kept the taco bright and let the shrimp shine. Next, the Republican, whose smoked beef brisket stole the show. Lastly, a Trailer Park Trashy, which I can't say blew me away but was satisfying nonetheless. All in all, 4/5 stars, would certainly go back if in the area. read more

Don't get the fajita steak. It's extremely chewy, almost inedible. The rest of the food was pretty good.

Always great! In my opinion this is the best queso in Dallas. All tacos are good. Crossroads and Grilled Baja Shrimp are my favorites. read more

This may be supremely touristy of me but I've gotta say it... I LOVE TORCHY'S TACOS!! This is a must-stop-kinda-spot for me anytime I'm visiting Texas! I was in town for a 5 day work conference and happened to be there on one of THE OLDEST weeks of the year. As such, I didn't really feel like walking around the city and popping into eateries. One of the nights I was there, I hopped on a food delivery app and saw Torchy's as an option and IMMEDIATELY stopped scrolling and got to ordering. I ordered the Baja shrimp taco, the Brushfire taco, and a side of their street corn. Delivery was quick, my food was fresh, and everything I had was DELICIOUS!!! Honestly, the street corn was my favorite!! I wish I would've ordered 2 of them and taken some home. Goodness... that beautiful flavor from the perfectly grilled corn flowed harmoniously with the smokiness of the spices and the refreshing taste of the aioli. This is a side dish I would absolutely eat as a main dish, anytime. I still am thinking about it to this day... All of this to say.. Torchy's is reliably delicious, hits the spot, and has such a wonderful variety of tacos that cater to all sorts of diets, including pescatarian and vegetarian. I HIGHLY recommend this spot to all folks looking for a solid place to eat! read more

Burrito taco was delicious and the perfect amount of food! Best queso ever! Get it with chips and be happy!

Took a trip to Dallas and my friend recommended me to try their Baja Shrimp Taco. I'm not one to go for seafood in tacos, burritos, and/or quesadilla but I kid you not, the Baha Shrimp Taco made me want to go back for seconds!!! Absolutely flavorful all around with the crunch of the fried shrimp and the culmination of spices, with the lime juice to provide that hint if zest. All for five dollars and some change. And might I add that it was filling for a pretty big eater like myself. Service was friendly and the Ambiance was kind of like a taco truck with tables and AC lol. And location had plenty of seats available. read more

My personal favorite place to grab a quick snack. The hillbilly queso is delicious. I haven't really tried their tacos yet, but I will grab a large queso and chips and that's more than enough to cover a quick and easy meal while Doordashing. read more

Gerard Wheeler is the best thing since sliced bread!!! He is very personable, nice and does his job with class. Will be back again!

The best queso is here. The tacos are big and absolutely delicious. I had the democrat and the tipsy chick. I really enjoyed the barbacoa in the democrat. Also loved that they had happy hour specials on the weekend. I sat at the bar and service was good. read more

Love the food and service here. Leonardo and Rey will take care of you! In fact - the entire staff is great.

Good, good and good! Was ooking for some good tacos while in Dallas and this place did not disappoint. I got the Jerk Chicken taco, the Baja Shrimp and the Chicken Fajita. All were really good and very plentiful, each one came with a different sauce. The chips and salsa was good and spicy. I also had a Tequila Sunrise and it was ok had a little too much juice. If I had one complaint it was the young lady that was cleaning off tables, not sure if she was just having a day, overworked or just a mean ass but I greeted her with a " I hope you have a better day!" She grunted lol!! read more

I love this location. Always reliable and tasty food, with Fast service as well. Very easy go-to spot!

This place racism. My people were told they couldn't take a picture, but other (white) guests were allowed to take photos right after. Even the group who was allowed apologized and said it was rude and unfair. read more

my boyfriend and i always come to this location and order delivery some days. We have always loved this location until today, 10/31/25, where we both got food poisoning. Not even 5 minutes after we left, my boyfriend had to make a detour to a nearby drugstore because he got sick immediately. I will be reporting this to the health department, as this is not okay. read more

If you like tacos, you're going to LOVE Torchy's! Located near SMU campus, this was our second time here with my son. The ambiance (4/5) is pretty cool--kind of an irreverent feel, similar to Jimmy John's. The service (4/5) is pretty basic. It is a fast food restaurant. You order, pay, get your food, and seat yourself. But the food (5/5) doesn't taste like fast food. The beef (5/5) in my "democrat" taco was outstanding, as was the green salsa (5/5) that comes on the side. They have a lot of great taco combinations, but don't leave without trying the "democrat." Highly recommended!! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Mr. Orange....! Crossroad! Brushfire! Beef fajita!! All sooo good - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Welp! The Business owner didn't lie when they said to come back so they can turn my original review around!! Honestly Marian (SP?!) was the redeemer here!! She was so friendly during our order, she even came over to check on us when the line died down to make sure all was good! It was just a nice touch that she kept an eye on us through out our time there. As stated in my original review the employees expediting the food were friendly and fast! In fact, the same guy from my first review was back at it again; we didn't get a touch point this time with him but the girl who did bring us everything was also so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Service is quick, our food came out before our drinks from the bar did - seemed the manager was working the bar so my thought is he had to stand in for someone who didn't make it to work that night. Just watching the crowd come and go and pick up orders flying out too, they were on top of it. I overheard there was a mix up with a delivery order or something and the guy helping them apologized for their experience and asked to make it up to them by getting their food out right away. Look forward to coming back...and I will! read more

Peak. Food is always amazing and service is always fast. Great vibes outside and in. Cannot recommend it enough.

This place is extremely hard to find parking. The nearby lots all are dedicated for this businesses with towing enforced. The street parking in front of Torchy's is limited and I had to circle 3/4 times before I could find a spot. I almost gave up and decided to eat somewhere else. Only after looking at reviews did I find there is additional parking out back. I wish it was more noted for these businesses. I always order their republican and today was no difference. This location is just as good as their other location and I really enjoyed my tacos. I decided to try their Mexican rice as well and it was pretty good. Their ranch dip is great as well. The atmosphere is loud and lively, great for hangouts. I would recommend torchys if you haven't tried before. read more

Love the vegan taco option! Wish there were more vegan options and that it was labeled as such since it's labeled on the menu as vegetarian instead. I was disappointed that it was $15 for just two tacos. I do love the hot sauce at Torchys is so yummy-love the heat! read more

As a franchise, it's not bad. The tacos are so-so despite them being so hyped, in my opinion. Other taco places, such as Velvet Tacos, were better. The queso dip (their specialty), however, is worth trying. I personally loved their salad bowl, which is filled with lots of fixins (so much so that I actually wished it had more greens in it). It does get a little crowded inside, but there's a cute outdoor area for group seating, so on a warm day, this place can hold quite a few folks. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Queso & Guacamole & Chips (V) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I like torchys tacos. I especially like the tacos of the month. The crossroads is my fav. Its my guilty pleasure

Tacos are overrated - both baja shrimp and chicken fajita taco. Doesn't live up to the hype! Barely any flavours coming through - tacos were just assembled without any seasoning. Neither the guacamole nor the pico de galle had any seasoning! This was a takeout so cannot comment on the service or ambience. read more

Not sure why this location doesn't get the credit it deserves. The quality of food is consistently good, online ordering process is so smooth for pick up orders, and the customer service is on it. Always enjoy the creamy queso, fried avocado taco, the trailer park (make it trashy), and the damn good frozen margaritas. Pro tip: ask them to add tajin on the rim. Boom. One thing to note, DOWNLOAD THEIR APP. When I check in on the app, I'm always surprised to redeem a free taco/free app/etc. read more

Have been coming to this Torchy's since it first opened up years ago.. the vibe here has always been cool, and the set up of the restaurant is awesome. It has a full service bar area, an indoor dining area, and a couple outdoor dining areas that have TV's you can watch from as well! The food has always been great here. I usually just get one of their breakfast tacos, which are reasonably priced, especially for how much you're getting in return. I will say the staff here is the one hang up. While I've had times where the service was great, I've also had times where the service was very dodgy and it wasn't even busy inside. So basically, there wasn't much of an excuse either.. All in all, I'd definitely recommend checking this Torchy's out, especially if you live in the SMU area and are only a walk or so away! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Democrat - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Yummy and quick tacos for anyone needing a quick fix for lunch or dinner. The first thing that caught my eye is all the unique taco flavor combinations (really made it hard to choose). After carefully analyzing the menu, I settled for the Matador, Mr.Orange, and 3ct Lil Nookies. Out of the two, Mr.Orange was definitely my favorite. The meat was great and the taco came with lots of toppings. I was less of a fan of the Matador and in general felt the tacos were a little overpriced. The Lil Nookies were good but very oily and they fell apart very easily. The service was super quick and they finish orders very quickly. Great option for large group orders! read more

I came from Los Angeles and I had such a great experience at Torchy's Tacos! Manny and Mariana were truly exceptional--super friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit awesome. The food was fire, but the service made it unforgettable. Thank you!! read more

I'm not from Dallas, but asked a fellow Yelper from CT for recommendations, and he mentioned this place. I ordered 3 tacos and a side (figured I'd try as much as I could). I ordered the orange man, the Tokyo drifter and trailer trash. The orange man was my favorite! I ordered the rice as a side. I had one of their margaritas. Everything was pretty good, quality was decent, and I liked the variety. I'd probably check it out again if given the chance, since we don't have Torchy's back East. read more

There was a blonde strand of hair at the bottom of our queso. Mind you, nobody is blonde in this household. Do better.

Food is always consistent, good with no complaints. The thing that makes it amazing however is the service, specifically Noah. Noah brings an incredible amount of premium top of the line service you'd expect at a Michelin star restaurant. Checking up on us, getting anything we need, and being perfectly casual and friendly. read more

This wasn't my first time at Torchy's. I had been to one in Austin before, so this was my second time here. I came with my girlfriend as we were in Dallas for a few days, and this was the closest one to our hotel. We called an uber to take us to and from Torchy's. Yes we wanted it that bad. We got the queso and chips and then a few tacos. We got the trailer park and the tipsy chick tacos. We love these tacos. They are super filling and taste so good. Comes with all the fixins too. They have plenty of other tacos to choose from, depending on what you like, so you're bound to find something you like. This Torchy's is right on SMU campus, so it's more of a college type of Torchy's, but still good nonetheless. I definitely recommending visiting Torchy's if you ever find yourself in Texas. They do have locations all across the country though. read more
