I went there on May 1st to get some guacamole, just guacamole without the chips. The girl rang up my order and I took the receipt and noticed that I was charged for the guacamole AND chips! I told the employee that she had charged me incorrectly. She replied that it was correct because there was no way to charge it without the chips. I told her that I've done it many times using the app. She said that she'd have to talk to her manager. She came back and said that the manager would have to credit my order and recharge it but that she was too busy and couldn't do it right then. It was 10:30am! Too busy? There was 1 other customer there! The employee said it would all go on my card within 3 days. It is now the 5th and no credit to my card! The manager was Eve. So be careful and check your receipt if you just want to buy guacamole! read more

This has got to be the worst Torchy's I've ever been to. I've been here on multiple occasions, and every time, there's always beenan issue--either a screw up with our order, or nobody at the service counter, a very long-ass wait for to-go orders as well as dine-in orders, etc. The location can't be beat, I'll give them that. Plus, plentiful parking. Lively and clean. However, I'm just always disappointed or frustrated every time I've come to this location. Y'all need to get it together. Seriously. read more

Waited about 20 minutes for nachos, only to receive everything completely separated with no warning. I understand not wanting chips to get soggy, but if I'm ordering nachos, I expect them to come assembled, or at least be told ahead of time. Waiting that long just to have to put the food together myself was frustrating and disappointing. They also advertise free chips and queso then gives an error when you put it. The employees are rude. read more

Baby, Daya had that good customer service. She was very welcoming when I walked in. Smile on face and very sweet with the knowledge of the menu. I even told her that she made this experience pleasant. I took my time with ordering and she was patient. I'm definitely coming back to see her. Give this lady a promotion. Or a raise. Because I sat at the bar waiting for my food and watched her give countless other customers the same top tier customer service. read more

Mexican food done right. Service and atmosphere: Cool and clean restaurant with modern and relaxing surroundings. They offer seating inside and outside plus there is good number of parking spaces. Service was friendly. Food and drinks: They offer Mexican food with many tasty options on the menu. They have breakfast items served all day too. My favourite was the artisan salad with grilled chicken. All our dishes were nicely plated and tested very good. Good seasoning and balanced flavours. This restaurant offers alcoholic beverages as well. Next time I will try their signature margaritas with house made margarita mix. Pricing: $$ definitely worth it! read more

My husband and I stopped by Torchy's for breakfast, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to our expectations. The place wasn't very busy, but we still waited quite a while for our food--which felt odd given the light crowd. When our tacos finally came out, the portion sizes were noticeably smaller than what we're used to at other Torchy's locations. I usually leave feeling full after two tacos, but not this time. It felt like they skimped a bit on the fillings, which was a letdown. The flavors were still decent--Torchy's usually delivers on taste--but between the slow service and the lighter portions, it just wasn't the experience we were hoping for. Maybe it was an off day, but I'd probably choose a different location next time. Just my impression, but something felt off compared to the usual Torchy's quality. read more

This Torchy's located is located on Gessner and just south of Westview. Plenty of parking available. The menu comprises of fusion style tacos and sides. I got the hillbilly queso (cheese and some jalapeño peppers and other high calorie goodness in there), and two trailer park tacos as well as a migas taco. The queso was solid and you can always refill chips if you run out. The trailer park tacos comprise of a piece of fried chicken tender with a ranch style sauce. I remember the chicken having a much better batter and taste in the past so it was a bit disappointing coming back to Torchy's after a while and seeing the taco being a bit lower quality than before. It was my first time trying to migas taco and I did not enjoy it in general. Overall, Torchy's is a decent chain spot for non traditional tacos and its menu has enough choices to have something everyone might enjoy. Definitely pick and choose carefully but you can't go wrong with the queso. read more

Pick up orders always late and a couple of times they did not include the queso. Worst service in Houston.

Came here at about 8:30pm on a Wednesday. There was no line and Daya helped us right away. She was friendly and pleasant. Got the green chile pork taco, baja shrimp taco, street corn, pinto beans, and the torchys Paloma. Everything was very good and There was seating available. Would come back again read more

Pros - fast service - easy menu with plenty of options for everyone - had both types of queso and both were amazing - tacos were all large and filling (probably 2-3 tacos per adult) - they have happy hour!! - easy parking - clean and spacious interior - everything was well maintained including self serve area of drinks! Love Torchy's! They're consistent in their flavor across various locations and one of my go to places when I'm back in Texas! read more

Absolutely hate the new self serve screen systems. Took so much longer than having an employee take our order. Very frustrating process & no one was around to assist . Took forever to get our drinks- had to go ask the bartender multiple times. She was in no hurry at all & they weren't busy . Don't think we will be back. read more

This location has improved its timing for order pick ups. Last year they averaged at least 15 mins late but they are between 5 min late to on time. read more

My fiance and I went here tonight when in town - we needed a snack before dinner and hadn't had lunch so we wanted something smaller. I had the Democrat taco with beef barbacoa but unfortunately wasn't a huge fan of it - it was sweet, which I wasn't expecting. He had the Tipsy Chick taco which was very good (I took a bite). We also split the Hillbilly queso, which came with guac, chorizo, and cilantro in it, and it was delicious. Pricing is about $5.75+ per taco, and the queso was $8.25. I'd come back here again but overall wouldn't order the Democrat taco; it just wasn't to my liking. read more

Great location with a ton of parking. Nice spot to bring the kids, they have plenty of outdoor seating and space to run around. Torchy's is a full on chain on this point, but I feel they've never compromised the original taste and flair they had 10-12 years ago when they first came over from Austin. Walk up counter and the occasional quirky cashier, with a fairly straight forward menu. You know what they have at this point. Unique tacos and surprisingly reasonably priced drinks that also are of a good quality. Queso and chips are borderline elite. And there's a taco for everybody here. Monthly rotation for seasonal tacos. Love swinging by on a weekend morning for a breakfast order as well! Little nookies are a fun treat from time to time if you like cookie dough. read more

If you like real tacos you won't come here. I was with friends so I put away the subjective need for authenticity in a taco. They are good and so is liquid Velveeta in nachos, right? I rated it higher than it deserved because it's got that gringo vibe to the food. That, and my tortillas were cracking and falling apart because they were old. Meh. read more

Went here for dinner on 4/23 - party of 3. We had the following: Queso + Chips - 5/5 - This was delicious. Hard to go wrong with a good queso, this had just a hint of spice which added to a nice flavor profile. I thought eh accompanying chips were fine but my wife thought they could have been crispier. Grande Burrito (beef & beans) - 4/5 - I thought the burrito was very flavorful. I would definitely order again. It tends to lean on the side of a bit salty which I didn't mind. The accompanying salsas were good but I asked for a bowl of pico de gallo which I thought was very good. Democrat Tacos (shredded beef) - This is what my daughter had. She really liked them and said she would give them a 4/5. Trailer Park Taco (fried chicken) - My wife had this and did not like. She said the fried chicken tasted like it wasn't made fresh. Brushfire Taco (Jamaican jerk chicken) - My wife had this as well and also did not like. My daughter and I would definitely go back. My wife thought overall the food was salty, did not taste fresh and would not go back. read more

Great service, good daily specials and happy hour. I enjoyed my tacos and the bartender kept my glass full.

Service was great and staff was friendly. I came in with a friend and put a take-out order for a trailer park trashy and the loaded tots. The wait was minimal, and considering there were quite a few parties ahead of us also waiting for their orders, I feel we got our meal quite quickly. When we got home, I was absolutely disappointed that my loaded tots were not loaded whatsoever. It was just tots with bacon sprinkled on top. I reached out to customer service to request a refund on my tots and of course didn't get a response. read more

Outside of rolling the dice and getting super lucky finding the exact right little food truck, Torchy's has THE BEST tacos. They're not ALL the best, but tons of them are among the best I've ever had. And I've had so so so so so SOOOOO many tacos from all over Houston. Of the 53 different Torchy's Tacos I've had, at least 19 of them rank among the best ever. If you have a laughable need to prioritize "authenticity", Torchy's is NOT what you're looking for. If you're prioritizing actual flavor, Torchy's is EXACTLY what you're lookin for. read more

The folks were friendly and I usually love torchy's but this trip two of the 6 tacos we ordered were very skimpy on content. One tiny piece of chicken on the trailer park and a half filled pulled pork taco. Disappointing. read more

The cashier was friendly, and the service was fast. So it pains me to say the following chips and queso were good, but the corn tortillas on the tacos were too overpowering and ruined the taco for me. I don't remember the heights location being like this. I had a barbacova taco, and it was too salty. Their salsas didn't even have a hint of being spicy. They were more like salad dressing. 2nd visit here is a no. Sorry, I was disappointed but that's just me being a judgemental Mexican towards texmex tacos. I'm sorry read more

Torchy's Tacos - Chips n quesos - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

I visited here for lunch last weekend ordering two of their tacos. My choices were grilled shrimp with a corn tortilla and a beef fajita on a flour tortilla. Both were almost the same price at just under $5 each and with a soft drink the meal came to $13 and change. After ordering at the counter and getting my drink it took almost 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Both tacos were good to eat but the beef was chewy and I wish I had gone with the chicken. Both tortillas were fresh too. While the food was decent taste wise (except for the tough beef), the meal didn't pull me back for another visit any time soon. There is plenty of parking available here along with both indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Not sure why this place only has 3 stars. The place looks great and has good vibes and there is a wide variety of taco choices. I got the Beef Fajita Taco and Trailer Park Taco (fried chicken). Both were pretty solid! It's a little pricy which is why I am going with 4 stars instead of 5, but otherwise totally worth checking out. read more

We went for opening day for a late lunch. After ordering at the counter you are given a pager and your food is brought to your table. They also have lots of designated curbside spots in the parking lot if you are ordering to-go. All of the staff were friendly and courteous, and they were all wearing masks and gloves. We were checked on twice during our meal which was very considerate. We chose to sit on the patio outside and I noticed that the staff were wiping down the tables between patrons. We ordered a variety of tacos: chicken fajita, republican, democrat, Mr. Orange, trailer park and Baja shrimp. Our favorites were the chicken fajita and Baja shrimp. All of the ingredients were fresh and all of the proteins were nicely seasoned and very flavorful. We are fans of Torchy's and will definitely be coming back to this location. read more

service was very slow Waited 25 minutes for a burrito and the employees were rude some customers got their order before me

Everyone there has rocks for brains and you can not convince me otherwise. Today they have gotten me and my order wrong for the LAST DAMN TIME! I order the same damn thing for lunch which is the Baja Shrimp, no cabbage, extra everything else, no chipotle sauce add Diablo and Poblano sauce...Ask me how many times they got that wrong? Ask me how many times I have gotten a FREE MEAL because they got that wrong?!? Today I asked for 2 potato egg and cheese for breakfast and the silly girl got my name wrong! My name is BRANDY so how she got "Dee" out of Brandy unless she didn't hear all the syllables and if she couldn't because I KNOW THAT I AM LOUD then the music needs to be turned down... and then when I asked where my stuff was the bald head guy who is still hanging on to his ponytail says "that's the name on your receipt" MOTHER FUCKER that's not my name, that's not what I said my name was, I will not answer to "Dee" and because it's on the receipt doesn't make it right....because there has been PLENTY TIMES my correct order was on the receipt AND BACK OF THE HOUSE GOT IT WRONG! The only time my food was right was when I ordered only queso, chips and no guacamole....they are all SORRY! No one ever looks happy to be there , like they're just going through the motions because they are clocked in, and if the tacos wasn't good and the location wasn't convenient I'm sure no one would go....because that's why I was showing up! I am so glad the Taco Stand and Burger Joint is opening up across the street but in the meantime, I will be going to the Torchy on Westheimer! I swear GET YALL SHIT TOGETHER read more

I've been so excited about this Torchy's opening up! I've been to Torchy's many times so my expectations were high. The atmosphere and overall design of the restaurant is spot on. Very modern and looks so clean. I went for brunch on a Sunday with a few friends and it wasn't busy at all. Lots of seating options and seating outside as well. I also love how big the bar is, lots of room for seating. I ordered a beef fajita taco and a salmon taco, both tasted amazing. Food is always good. Can't wait to enjoy many more times here especially on the patio! read more

I picked up a large to-go/catering order here for a work event at nearby Kirby's Ice House recently and while the food was all in order, we were not given serving utensils, plates, napkins, cutlery, etc. this certainly made enjoying the delicious queso and fajitas a bit tricky and we ended up having to buy some. Obviously not the end of the world, but if the catering orders do not come with those items, it would have been a good thing to know since we assumed it was truly a ready-to-eat situation. If the orders do come with it and we paid extra for nothing, then frustrating in that aspect as well. On the food front, the chips and queso are always a crowd pleaser and the fajitas were yummy as well - we didn't have much leftover, so the food was definitely a hit. All in all, an ok experience that ended up fine, but caused a little heartache. Not a reason to not come here again, but I know what questions to ask next time we do a catering order again! read more
