Some of our favorite tacos are from torchys. There is always great flavor and a nice variety of ingredients in each taco. They also have really nice salsas to pair with the tacos. Staff is friendly and they always seem to keep the shop full. read more

We came to visit this place as a recommendation of this being one of the most famous restaurant chains growing in Texas. I asked for recommendations and they gave us 4 plates of tacos. We also tried the burrito chicken and the shrimp tacos. Steak tacos: steak was really good, served with avocado and onion and sauces on top. Definitely recommend it. Chicken burrito: very big plate, more than enough for one person. If you're not too hungry it can feed two. Comes with guacamole. Shrimp tacos: extremely good, cooked very well. Carnitas tacos: very well cooked And very Savory. Queso and salsa with chips: queso is spicy! Good choice. Salsa was good but not great. This place is not your traditional Mexican 3 to a plate tacos. Tacos are very big and come full. So one taco can be enough for a person. read more

This location has been my go to for the past 5 years or so. But for the past 3 years or so this place has significantly gone down hill. Not sure what happened, but the food is warm at best. Typically cold tacos by the time you get it. Chips a queso is still on point but be prepared for it to arrive with your cold food because appetizers here are a thing of the past. Don't worry tho, they gonna ask for that tip when you pay.. Really sad. We may have to drive the extra few miles hit the on on I10 up or head over to Towne Lake because this one is a miss. read more

First time coming to this location and omg the wait time for the tacos to come out was SO DAMN LONG (I've waited for over 30 min just for some tacos). This place wasn't even busy when I came in on a Sunday afternoon. The guy working the cashier didn't even greet me and first thing he said was "what do you want to order". Bad vibes when I first walked in, but I still gave it a shot thinking the tacos would still be worth it. The jalapeño sausage on my ace of spades order did taste good, but too much sauce imo (I did ask for sauce on side but guess they forgot.) They are now being cheap and not putting 2 corn tortillas like they used to, my corn tortilla was literally breaking apart (couldn't even pick it up and eat) and was super oily due to the meat. Go back to giving 2 corn tortillas... The only decent thing here is that the bathroom isn't dirty. The pics looks better than it tasted, trust me! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

Torchy's has cut costs on their ingredients unfortunately. Their chicken fajita tacos used to have fresh grilled chicken, you could see and taste the smokiness from being grilled. Yesterday, the taco contained obviously frozen grilled chicken. It had the fake grill marks that you see on Taco Bell chicken, and didn't have any real texture. It was weirdly too soft, which wouldn't happen with fresh chicken. They also stopped giving salsa on the side with your taco and they also changed the quality of the tortilla. Pretty disappointed. read more

We've been to this location a few times and it's ok. The food is so good and the queso is the best thing on the menu. It's a good location but prepare to struggle finding a parking spot and it can get very busy. The service is ok but it can definitely be better. read more

We love Torchys. And have eaten at this location many times over the past few years. The food is ALWAYS great. ALWAYS. The employees are always friendly too. Here is the issue that we have almost every time. Every. Time. We order food (tacos, chips and queso and guacamole) and drinks from the bar. And every time the food arrives before the drinks. Every. Time. The chips and queso and guacamole arrive quickly. And the tacos follow. And then we have to go to the bar and ask for our drinks. The bartender is always hustling. This isn't about her/him working hard. This is a problem with the restaurant not having enough bars tenders. We'd have ordered at least another round but by then we have eaten half of the food, at least. I've attached a pic to show all the food and still we wait for our drinks.... read more

Torchy's Tacos - All our food but no cocktails....still waiting on them.... - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

This place used to be so good but unfortunately our last two visits were underwhelming. It is hard to say no to the queso. That is why we revisited. They have such a great location but the tacos disappoint. I could tell the tortillas were not warmed as well as the pork inside. Staff seemed better this time. Especially a young man who brought out our food. Not only was he kind but he was dressed professionally and we could tell he worked there. The majority of the staff I noticed didn't even have work shirts on and were wearing sweat pants. I remember about 3 years ago eating lunch at Torchys and it would be packed. Hopefully some things can be adjusted at this location so it can be more memorable to locals and visitors. read more

Yummy food! Yummy drinks! We love the Torchy's tacos! I wish there was more of a selection for kids but we usually make do! The wait staff is usually pretty fast and bring the right food to our table. We will definitely be back! read more

The "margaritas to go" is a deal breaker for Me. The food is great except the beef was chewy and I prefer medium rare - medium well. A mention on the Menu about it could have been nicer. Otherwise a great place to hangout. Love the location and the place. Very clean and staff so nice. read more

I really want to like Torchy's but every time I go I'm disappointed. The tacos are mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced. $4.85 for a single beef fajita taco - are you serious? There are multiple small businesses in the area that have delicious and reasonably priced tacos - Torchy's is just not it. The queso and lil nookies are good but that's about it. This location has also messed up my order multiple times and the employees don't even pretend to care. I've reached out to corporate as well but no response. At this point you're better off at Taco Bell read more

Had lunch today at torchys tacos and I'll tell you what they didn't disappoint. I ordered two fajita tacos and a soda and those tacos were bomb .I'll definitely be back to try other menu items .the restaurant was very clean and the staff super friendly. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Torchy's Chicken Fajita.. Barcode still on bell pepper which means it was cooked with rest of food unacceptable.... - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

Was visiting the area from out of town and stopped in with friends. We waited in line for about 10 mins before we ordered, but once we ordered the food came out quickly. The chips and queso had great flavor but it was way too spicy for me. The thin chips were good. The steak fajita taco was spicy and very Americanized and not a real taco. The street corn was the best part of the meal. It's a small restaurant but plenty of seating. I will not return as there are other Mexican restaurants in the area. The staff was nice and professional. read more

Great tacos as usual. Fast service today. Had a new server today that made me feel like we were at chic-fil-a, he was awesome.

$5.00 for a taco is absolutely crazy. As you can see from the image you can throw something together better from your fridge. Price is highly inflated. read more

Drinks to go----don't do it! I am SO disappointed in our Father's Day order. We paid $46 for a margarita kit to go. I've done this with at least two other local places in the last three months for around the same price. All three times we received a gallon jug of margaritas. Today we paid 50$ for a shaker of mix and a 375ml bottle of tequila. I love Torchy's but I feel seriously ripped off. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Don't order drinks to go - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

I got take out from this location. I liked that condiments and napkins and a decent amount of sauce was provided. I like the food here but I do not think this place tastes good enough to charge more than $3.50 for a taco. They used to give 2 tortillas when you choose corn but they don't do that anymore which sucks because my tortilla was super soggy and barely existed. The chips and queso were okay I felt like some of the chips were stale. Unfortunately this is my last trip to Torchys for a bit. Their food is basic enough to recreate. read more

So I have been to torchy's all over. And this one is just like anything else in San Antonio or college station Simple fun quick service food Out of all the tacos I have tried there are only a couple that are worth the wait. The burrito however should just be pulled off the menu. The queso and guac is really one of the best things on the menu. And you can't forget the street corn. Sweet corn season and spiced to perfection. All in all I have had pretty good experiences with all the Torchy's. but nothing beats what you get in Austin This place is a dump. Ask for 3 identical tacos and they mess up the order. The incompetence is has been continually rolling downhill. I call to take to a manager. They put me on hold. A random employee answers to ask if I want to talk to a manager. I'm am done with this place. read more

#1- the counter for the take out, is disgustingly sticky and dirty! #2- be prepared to be ignored and treated like garbage when asking for, paying, and picking up your order. 3- After being treated like crap, the cashier will offer you to speak to a manager as a surprise gift for being a regular customer and the employee decided to be a jerk. After picking up our order from this place, i would advise anyone to go there with a big sign saying " IM JUST HERE FIR MY TAKE OUT ORDER!", to get your order. otherwise you will be ignored. i did speak to the manager with a beard, he said sorry but it may just get swept under the rug like all the other dirty stuff on the countertop. This place needs customer service classes ASAP and a sanitation course 911! i gave an extra star because the food is at least decent despite the cashiers nasty attitude and dirty counters. I would like to speak to the owner about what happened!! lets see how they respond. read more

Okay okay okay, I'm not from Texas so I had a lot of local Texans tell me this place was so 50/50 in terms of their tacos but honestly I like reallllllly liked it. Obv nothing really beats taco trunks for some authentic tacos but this place had such a great variety of different meats and flavors of tacos that it was great for everyone and all their different taste buds. We had the queso dip that was pretty salty but not terrible. But the real winner was the tacos, the Baja Shrimp was AMAZING. If you must try a taco, try that one read more

Delicious, always spot on ! Im a LA girl and the burritos here are closer than any taco stand burritos ! Always on my to gos !

I had heard a lot of hype surrounding Torchy's and am glad to say I was not disappointed. I tried the crossroards and the trailer park and felt like both of them were filled with juicy meat and delicious flavor. The free sauces that you can get with your order are a nice touch too (I liked the avocado). Service was friendly and the restaurant was pretty busy when I went -- seems like this is their norm though. Overall, great tacos! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Katy, Texas

I've been to this torchys a couple times and the experience has always been great! The food is always good, portions of chips are pretty big. And it's a clean, cool looking place to eat. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food then this isn't it, but if you want some tasty food wrapped in a tortilla then this is a good spot. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the price. It's just way too expensive with tacos ranging from $4-$6 per taco! Also wish they had some more vegan options as well. read more

I love Torchys and this location is horrible. I ordered a Democrat, Two Fajita, and some Queso. The chips for the queso were half fried, chewy, greasy, and cold - fitting for the cold queso with a huge chunk of avacado peel inside it. The fajitas were NOT skirt steak. They were tough and full of gristle and everything including the Democrat was room temperature. The place wasn't busy and it all took about 25 minutes to arrive. I noticed the manager because he was interviewing a girl for a job two tables away. A grey headed middle aged cool looking guy with glasses. He came by with some food for another table apologizing for it taking so long and I stopped him to tell him my experience. I showed him the plate of picked over food and was pretty blunt about how much I like Torchy's and that this was the worst one I had ever been to. He asked for the opportunity to fix it - and went of to have my food remade. 10 minutes later he still hadn't come back so I Just left. From the very little bit I did eat I spent the rest of the night in the bathroom regretting it. I'm wondering now if the upset stomach and room temperature food has something to do with failure to follow safe food handling procedures, but there is now way to prove that. This is in a high end area and I expected more. Right now they are getting by in a recognizable name but I'm willing to bet that can't last much longer. I'll never be back. I suggest you go somewhere else - there are plenty of other places in the area. read more

Love Torchy's Taco ! This unique taco restaurant is like what a taco opened inside a delicatessen. . Now, before y'all freak out with my "NY values" read on Torchy's is not typical Tex Mex. Now way. Here each Taco type has names like The Republican, The Democrat, The Crossroads or The Brushfire. They also run a monthly taco special that links to the season. I try to eat something new each visit at Torchy's but do have my favorites. The tacos are big and meaty enough where just one makes a meal but two is possible for a norma human. Certainly if you want to wash that down with a local craft beer or any of their delicious beverages. You can see that Torchy's is popular because there is often a long line of people waiting to place their orders. I like the La Centerra Torchy's over Rice Village location too. At La Centerra there is much more seating and even a lawn on the waterfront if you're feeling earthy . read more

You can't go wrong at Torchy's. The tacos are good, they're fairly inexpensive (for gourmet tacos), and there's a huge variety. Of course, every taco place seems to suck at the "no cilantro" request, but this isn't a dig against them - it's just a fact. The tacos are $3-5, they have calorie counts on the menu, and they're pretty big as far as tacos go. I eat two, and I'm decently full. The service at this location was friendly, generous, and funny - and he even brought us some complementary chips and salsa. I know it's a chain, and it's Americanized, and ok fine, yes I would rather pay around $1/taco, but I can't complain. It's a good place, ample parking, quick service, and they server beer. What else can you ask for? read more

My first experience with Torchy's Tacos was in Austin with friends who know of my taco obsession. Ever since, I have been hooked. I love authentic Mexican tacos, but Torchy's offers variety! I come to this location because it is the closest. Usually, I call ahead with an order to pick up at the bar and leave. One time I have dined here, and the line moved reasonably. I have dined a few times at Rice Village and Montrose, which can be a wait most of the time. Food I have tried: Green Chile Queso & Chips (4/5): Chile queso with guacamole, cilantro, and diablo hot sauce. I mean, if you have not tried this... where have you been?! This is definitely shareable between 3 people. I usually like to ask for more diablo hot sauce and kick it up a notch. Democrat (3/5): Shredded beef barbacoa topped with fresh avocado, queso fresco, cilantro, onions and a lime wedge. Served with tomatillo salsa on fresh corn tortilla. This can be a hit or miss for me. It's never consistent when it comes to the barbacoa. There are days when it's juicy then not juicy. Usually, I like to mix the tomatillo salsa and avocado salsa with this. Fried Avocado (1/5): Hand-battered avocados fried and served with vegetarian refried beans, topped with pico, lettuce and cheese. Served with poblano sauce on fresh corn tortilla. I remember this was the first taco I tried from Torchy's Austin. I love avocados, but this taco didn't do it for me. Never ordered again. Republican (2/5): Grilled jalapeño sausage, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo. Served with poblano sauce and on a flour tortilla. I'd say the first 2 bites were great before the sausage overpowered everything. In other words, too much meat for me. For you meat heads, cast this Republican a vote. Never ordered again. Brushfire (4/5): Jamaican jerk chicken, grilled jalapeño, mango, sour cream, and cilantro. Served with diablo hot sauce on a flour tortilla. This is one of my go-to's with an extra diablo hot sauce. Can you handle heat? Everything goes well together. If you aren't into sweet and spicy, don't try it then. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this baby. Baja Shrimp (3/5): Hand-battered fried shrimp with cooked cabbage slaw topped with pickled jalapeño, onions, queso fresco, cilantro, and a lime wedge. Served with chipotle sauce. I love the mix with the cabbage slaw, which you can't really go wrong with. This is a hit or miss for me though. I've had from 3 to 6 pieces of shrimp, either being bland or salty. Mr. Orange (5/5): Blackened salmon topped with grilled corn and black bean relish, queso fresco, and cilantro. Drizzled with avocado salsa, then served with a lime wedge on fresh corn tortilla. This is my absolute favorite. It was my second taco I tried aside from Fried Avocado. I never had a problem with this taco and keep going back for more. Salmon was cooked perfectly. You. Will. Not. Regret. Hipster (2/5): Panko fried tuna, with green chiles, chopped bacon, black bean relish, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Served on a flour tortilla with avocado sauce and a lime wedge. Secret Menu. I personally have not tried Mr. Pink, but I'm an experimenter. The bread crumbs on the tuna are not bready. Tuna was probably a medium rare. I didn't like the bacon with this at all. It's kind of hard to eat this because the tuna is huge. Nothing really stood out to me though. Missionary Style Pork (4/5): Slow roasted pork carnitas with pickled onions, guacamole, shredded jack cheese and cilantro. Drizzled with creamy chipotle on a crisp corn tortilla inside of a flour tortilla. Secret Menu. Pork went well with the guacamole and chipotle. Thank goodness for the pickled onions. They just add the missing oomph. By the way, this taco is pretty heavy but double tortilla for the win. **Happy Hour is from 3-7PM Monday-Friday. $1.50 off all beers, $1 off margaritas, and $0.50 off everything else **Daily Specials run all day. Monday-$4 Margaritas Tuesday-$2 Select Beers Wednesday-$4 Deep Eddy Day of Ruby Red, Sweet Tea, Original, or Cranberry Thursday-$6 Torchy's Tini, Devilish Lemonade, and Lorena Friday-$6 Peg Leg of Mango, Strawberry, or Lime Saturday & Sunday-$3 Mimosa, Tequila Sunrise, or Bloody Mary's (mmm) Overall, Torchy's Tacos is a great place to satisfy your taco cravings once in awhile. Order off their secret menu. I mean it isn't much of a secret anymore but Google it for your next trip to Torchy's. It is overpriced compared to my love, Mexican taco trucks (tacos cost about $1.50 each)! read more
