Be patient when ordering. Third time visiting at various times same slow experience in terms of short lines while a long wait - from 11:15 Am / 2:00pm and 6:25 Sunday same slow experience: . (5 tables total , 6 people at bar and staff standing around watching TV , on phones while one person taking orders . It's takes forever for people to order food , then one employee punching orders. Food is consistent , good and pricey. It's hard to justify experience when you have to wait longer then the long lines at chipolete ... who value speed. In a nut shell they need more order clerks and shorten the questions and process. read more

Judge me if you will, but we've been here three times in the last week and a half and the food has been consistent and excellent each time. It's my new go-to food option! read more

I wanted to like this place, but it did not live up to the hype. As someone who needs to know some details about what I eat for health reasons, I did appreciate that they publish nutrition information on the website. As many others have mentioned, the place is loud. When we went, the dining room was crowded and it was difficult to have a conversation while we ate. Being an order at the counter, get your own drink place, there wasn't much in the way of service. In my book, that means there's no need to leave a tip. And I never leave a tip before the service is rendered. Despite that, the payment terminal at the counter was more obnoxious than other restaurants about soliciting a tip. There was no way to opt-out of leaving a tip on the main screen. I had to click through a few extra screens to get to that option. I had the Democrat and I thought the flavor profile was very good. Unfortunately, it was also overwhelmingly salty. The tomatillo sauce that came with it was excellent. My partner got the green chili pork and found it to be on the bland side. The refried beans were also lacking in flavor. They were oddly sweet and had a gelatinous texture that was not appealing. We thought the prices were on the high side. Two tacos, beans, and a drink came to $17. A full combo plate at our neighborhood sit-down Mexican restaurant costs less than that. And I don't have to get my own drink there. read more

Food was reminiscent of Taco Bell. The staff was kind and attentive, but the food was not worth the price. The street corn was good, but I don't think we will be back. read more

Super engaged and cheerful staff. I stopped in for a drink and appetizer. Got a frozen with grand marnier (a guilty pleasure) and half order of chips and queso. I've spent too much time across the valley and Torchy Taco is in the top ten percent for yummy, casual Mexican. Not bad at all! read more

I have eaten here twice now and I will continue to go back. They have classic tex mex tacos and a unique spin on their "damn good tacos" as they are labeled. Let me tell you, they are pretty damn good! Ive tried 6 different tacos so far and i have not been disappointed yet. Not your place if you are looking for authentic tacos, but if you want a tasty spin on your tacos for a good price, this is the place! Kids meals are also cheap! My wife and I always try new places and this is a WIN! read more

Trendy Taco's not very authentic, and expensive for what you get. Don't bother if you really want a good taco.

The most overly priced, nasty pathetic tacos & trashy alcohol you will ever have. $100 between four people (mind you, 2 of those were kids!) and still didn't leave full! read more

I got the brushfire tacos. Those were delicious with the Diablo sauce. I don't usually chips and queso but was told to because of a recommendation, and man that was a great idea . I love spice and flavor and this place has it. Wife got the shrimp tacos and she gave those a 4.5/5 but that's because I forgot to add the guacamole for her. read more

Like most of the reviews for this restaurant, a good place to try ONCE and head back to Backyard Tacos. The food was expensive, the portions were small (really small) and the service was unfriendly. read more

One of my fav tacos since eating at their original store just west of downtown Austin. Super glad they have expanded to share their food. This location is pretty new, so they are just getting their sea-legs. Regardless, very friendly and attentive staff. Had the usual queso dip n chips, trailer park taco, trashy, and the fried avocado taco... all great, and all as I remember. Ambiance is modern and causal. read more

I had the beef brisket tacos and they were phenomenal! Great taco joint. Definitely going back again soon. Drinks were good as well. Very clean, service was fast as well. Nice little bar as well. read more

Great food, nice ambiance. The service is good could be better, but the place is pack.

Kyle in the bar is always welcoming and friendly. My son gets the Mofaux and takes everything off it, the queso is yum, but for health we get the guacamole and chips. We use to get Mr. Orange but they changed the fish supplier so now its a meh, but the Fajita... the Trailer Park regular or trashy ( or with grilled chicken) are awesome! The Green chili pork is flavorful, We eat here 3-4 times a week! Love this place! read more

Giving one star solely for the fact that they have their phone turned off and there is no way to contact them. They don't even have a corporate number but tell you to call the local store. This the third time I have eaten there in less than a week and so far the food was really good. In fact the queso is excellent and worth going there for just that. However, this time the chips were so salty that after eating three I couldn't eat any more. So basically the main reason I go there I couldn't enjoy. Could not contact the Gilbert location because the message said they are closed with over an hour before closing. Tried calling the Queen Creek store and they had the same message playing. Really disappointed with their customer service. read more

First time to a Torchys , so nothing to compare it to but ... bar first , bartenders were friendly and engaging . Walked me through the menu , told me his recommendations. Solid there , 2 minus's were lack of seating at the bar , only about a dozen chairs and the beer glass weren't cold . Food , there calling card is damn good tacos , this is not an exaggeration . Had the beef fajita taco , big taco , tasty meat , damn good for sure . Also had the hillbilly queso , also really good . For sure will be back , just get those beer glasses cold ! Otherwise , everything else was on point . read more

Food is fine but, at least in Queen Creek, the service is a mess. Tacos served BEFORE the quest we ordered first, just seemed really disorganized. Will try new location at San Tan mall. read more

I was recently on a trip to Austin TX and saw this taco shop everywhere. I knew there was one in Gilbert AZ close to where I live. My wife and I went in on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered 2 democrat tacos a quesadilla that was the special. We also ordered hillbilly queso. The queso was really good and came with plenty of chips. When the tacos finally arrived about 15 min later there was only some salsa on them but they came with nothing extra. The quesadilla came with guacamole and some kinda chipotle sauce but no salsa. So we tried to get some salsa but the only way they have it is to order chips and salsa. So we ordered some chips and salsa. It was supposed to be Roja salsa and it wasn't very red salsa and not much flavor. The brisket meat in the tacos was very salty and not good. We hated that you can't get just a side of salsa. And it was very expensive almost 50.00 bucks. My opinion there is way better taco shops with better food for less money all around Gilbert area. We will not go back. read more

Do not go to torchy's in Arizona is horrible. Have to scrape the salt off of the chips and the dip has no flavor and it's very sick. And the customers are letting their kids play with the lemons and limes in the containers with their hands read more

Went here first the first time and it was awful. Only got a burrito and taco and it took over 40 minutes. Said something after we saw tables sitting getting food and leaving after we sat down and they rudely said its coming. The taco was cold and cheese wasn't even melted. Won't be back. Maybe Scottsdale does better but Gilbert location is awful. And they weren't even busy. Multiple employees just standing around. read more

I love Torchy's. I've eaten it in Texas, Oklahoma & and few other states. It's always delicious. I get the Hillbilly Queso (so good) a Republican & a Democrat. Often times I take half home & eat it the next day (the portions are good sized) & it's still so good. It's always clean & well lit. Staff is always friendly & the food never disappoints. Highly recommend. read more

Went to Torchy's today. Since it new there were a lot of young people being trained. Food was really good. But one thing they have to do is not use the same towels to clean the benches/chairs and then clean the tables with them. Please teach them to use different ones for each. Also the manager that was standing behind the cashiers needs to smile instead of looking like she just doesn't want to be there. The only time she smiled was when she came over and looked up at us. Then we got plastic cups for the water and they were both leaking. One of the young women took them away but never brought over some to replace them. Overall it was a really great place to eat. read more

There is an Avocado Salsa on their menu,but every time we try to order it they say they do not have enough. Why do you offer something but never have it available? read more

My 6 yr old granddaughter loves it but we've have several negative experiences at this location, ranging from wrong orders to slow service. At first we blamed it on just needing to wear out the newness bugs, but it hasn't gotten much better. The problems have seemed to be worse when ordering online for delivery. And of course the delivery service doesn't take any responsibility. read more

Over rated to much money for hardly nothing Over price just another taco place, the tortilla where cold and hardly no meat and drinks are expensive I was not impressed by this place for being my first time , fantasy name don't let that fool you not going back. read more

I love Mexican food so maybe my reviews on Mexican is a little bias but i think the food here is pretty solid and its also in a good location. read more

Fuzzys Taco Shop was a great choice to eat! Food was excellent and perfectly prepared. Food did not take long at all to get out to us. Barry who took my order was very kind and nice enough to recommend his favorites to me, which were amazing. The setting here is very comfortable and open, I could chill here for a while. Definitely will be coming back soon! read more

AMAZING SERVICE! Barry was the guy who took our order and when my food was taking a while to come out (couldn't have been more than five minutes) Barry threw in some chips and queso on the house. The staff was very attentive and friendly and I definitely recommend stopping by when in the mood for tacos. read more

I was so excited for Torchy's to open in Arizona because I loved going to the Houston locations. Unfortunately today my breakfast tacos were very mid. The brisket on the wrangler taco was good, but the potatoes were so undercooked they were almost raw. I couldn't finish my bacon, egg, and cheese taco because the tortilla was so stale. I was really disappointed. read more

Tacos were awesome!!! Queso is fire!!! So delicious!! Tried 3 tacos and the crossroads, the fried avocado and the taco of the month. The crossroads brisket one was my fave although they were all really good. It was busy so we ended up sitting outside even though it was 113 out but the misters outside made it fairly pleasant and we were not uncomfortable. We enjoyed our lunch very much. My only friendly suggestion is when the cashier hands you the flashing table number that they explain to new customers how to use it. They may simply say something like - "please place this in the circle in your table and we will bring it out to you." Our poor food runner was looking everywhere for us. We set our stuff on the table when we sat down and completely missed the circle and instructions. No harm done, but i just thought that might be helpful to avoid new customer confusion. We also didn't realize that the food would be brought to us, so we had one of our party standing near the counter waiting to pick it up. This may cut down congestion by the counter as well. All in all we very much enjoyed our first visit. We will be back very soon to try out some more of the different tacos selections and the adult beverages. We are big fans. read more

I love love the fish tacos!! They are the best in class for fish tacos! The service was excellent too!!

food is pretty good. the queso is what you come here for without a doubt. Everyone from back of house to front of house is friendly. It's loud but who goes to a taco shop and expect a library setting. read more

Been here three times and each time, same story, food is crazy salty. Keep going back because I am giving it a chance to try different items but each time, same result (salty). A little pricy as well. I do really like their Roja salsa read more

Had a great experience And the food was so good I even took some TOGO, chips and queso were delicious. I had the tipsy chick which was good and Crossroads. My favorite was definitely the Crossroads. the food is brought to your table and came within 10 mins, it is a little bit loud but of course it's expected on a Saturday night. My parents came to visit from California and they agreed they need one there! Will be back soon! read more

We were first timers, we met family there, the people were nice and the atmosphere was nice. The food on the other hand was nit so good. I ordered the Democrat taco and the meat was extremely salty, I only took 1 bite. The chips were super salty as well. My husband ordered the tipsy chic taco, he was only able to eat 2 bites, that was too spicy to even enjoy and we're Mexicans and love salsa. We won't be returning. read more

Shrimp tacos were amazing however my husband got the trailer park one and the chicken wasn't cooked all the way .... That was the only disappointment. The workers did a good job at keeping the tables cleaned up pretty quickly for turn over! read more

If you want to pay 6 dollars for a mediocre taco this is the spot for you! You're better off going to a mom and pap paying 2.95-3 bucks a taco eating 6 of them having a michelada and being right at 20 bucks. The restaurant is clean and new but I don't think that deems me a 54 dollar tab for two drinks and 5 tacos. Torchys tacos and bank robberies! read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Honestly it was just alright. Cool atmosphere but I did not think the tacos were very good. Interesting flavor combinations and pretty good meat but the tortillas they use are not good. The flour tortillas are like cheap "wonder bread" tortillas from the grocery store. It was almost laughable when we got our order. The republican taco looked like something I made at home. The corn tortillas fall apart. It's tough competition in AZ so it's hard to say that these were good when we have had so many other amazing tacos nearby. The queso was the only thing we thought was great. We did not enjoy the street corn. This meal was just "meh". Not terrible but not good either. It was also overpriced for what you get. Service was good except several Torchy's corporate people or trainers were just standing around unprofessionally talking instead of checking on customers or helping the employees clean etc. We didn't get checked on the whole time we were there to see how our food was and there were are least 10 employees and it was not very busy. If you just want to drink they have a cute bar and atmosphere but I wouldn't recommend the food. read more

See all

The franchise owners are very kind. We didn't realize it was a soft opening, and my mother was in a wheelchair and they let us join the party. read more

Meh, I wouldn't call it authentic, just interesting takes on a variety of tacos. Kind of a weird set up, half bar, half order &sit down. Tacos are pricey, at over $5 each. I tasted 5 different tacos and would maybe order two of them again. The quest dip is really good, but thin/watery. read more
