Decided to try this Torchy's location once again last night at 8:30pm for a late dinner with the hopes it would rectify my previous review. Unfortunately, this was not the case and it honestly another disappointing experience here. It seems like the main issue comes down to a lack of leadership and attention to customer service. The staff seemed more focused on closing the store than actually taking care of the customers. The young guy working the register and bartender were hanging out, chatting with each other and joking around while over 7 other tables sat with nothing in front of them looking around confused why food was taking so long to come out. Not a single staff member made a comment to anyone recognizing there was a very long delay. It took over 30 minutes to get our food and orders coming out were incorrect. We ordered salsa, but was given queso instead. Another guest had one of his tacos forgotten entirely, and when he brought it up to the young man who took the order, the response gave the sense that he didn't care to be dealing with any situation that interrupted his time relaxing in a booth with another employee while ignoring the fact that so many people were just sitting waiting. He even let out an audible exasperated grumble throwing his arms around clearly frustrated about having to get up and address the issue with the kitchen. This was reflected once again when another guest told him that they were also missing part of their to go order. To make matters worse, the manager on duty didn't seem to care at all--just slowly walked around the edges of the store, put things away, but didn't make any effort to check in on customers or communicate with her staff. The overall vibe was one of "I don't care to be here I just have to be", with employees showing disinterest in doing their jobs well, dancing around, sitting around and not having a good example set by the manager on duty. The only person that was working hard and looking stressed was the young man expediting food to people when it did come out of the kitchen. Ultimately, the service was terrible, and it really reflects a lack of leadership and a poor attitude from the staff. We love the food here, but to spend $48 for 7 tacos and salsa, waiting over half an hour doesn't make that high price point worth it for a place that's supposed to be fast casual. We've been to other locations where this is not the case, so it might just be an unlucky night, but why is the timing so off? Tacos and queso were delicious as always but the chips were unfortunately stale! :( If you don't want to risk sitting around for far too long for delicious tacos that may come out at room temp, I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you're seeking a good dining experience. I know the experience is mainly due to the bad experience the staff members create.

I am so thrilled there's another Torchy's now closer to me! The people is super cool, the girl running the register is always chill and very willing to customize tacos for us however we want, and she always nails it! I absolutely adore the blackened salmon salad. It is freshly cooked, still hot with steam salmon on a bed of fresh, chilled veggies with pistachios strewn around the big salad bowl. You heard that right, pistachios! A very generous serving too. I don't see this very often! Torchy's tacos are huge. So pace yourself! My go to are the breakfast ones as there's a fluffy omelet in each one. It's like biting into cloud. Such good sensory experience. Not to mention the taco shell is the perfect amount of softness and chewiness. They're also very generous with their sauces. I like everything about this place!

As a proud Texan, I'm always hyped when a Texas brand expands to the area--and while Denver already had a Torchy's, their new location in Belmar is dangerously close to work. Great for my taco needs, bad for my wallet! Plus I am always happy to see minimal green chili offerings I hit up their soft opening over Labor Day Weekend, and it was everything I hoped for! The vibe? Just like being back in Texas. This will definitely be my go-to spot from now on when needing some Texas' Chips & Queso MY ORDER: Hillbilly queso, The Republican, Steak Fajita taco, and of course, a margarita! BEST BITE: Torchy's never disappoints. The hillbilly queso with chorizo and guac was chef's kiss.

Updated HH menu as the website is not current and up to date. Seems likes a pretty good deal as ALL drinks are 1/2 price

I am so glad to have this Torchy's open in Lakewood. Torchy's always serves up damn good tacos and the Lakewood location is large, roomy and accommodating. The staff was great, the wait time was minimal, the food was over the top great. Torchy's remains one of my "go to" places for a wonderful lunch. I can count on them doing it right.

S the bartender who completely ignored me  was so snooty that it made me never want to come back to this location

First of all the bartender was so rude to be hateful and stupid like I've never met a bad bartender at Ttorchys but I moved up to Lakewood it's my first time in this torchy's and this lady was not friendly she was very rude the other guy who came out of the kitchen was very nice he got a good tip but not her

Weird how you can pay $5 for a taco & get something so sloppy and thrown together. We've been regular torchy's customers for years & I genuinely could not be more disappointed. I mean what even is this? These are literally the worst tacos we've ever gotten. We were super excited about this location opening so we'd have a Torchys close by so this just sucks. "Damn good". Yeah right.

My two tacos :)

I had a crazy craving for tacos so I tried Torchy's for the first time. The ambience is fun and frisky. The person who brought me my food asked " if he could get me anything else" which I appreciated. The tacos (Green Chili Pork, sorry not kosher) I have to say were " Damn Good." So why the 4 stars? The prices are high @ 5+$ a taco. I could have gotten 3 tacos, rice and beans with chips and salsa for near the same price at a local Mexican Restaurant. Other than the price I was very happy with my experience.

Lakewood and Torchy's ~ at last! So excited to have a fav come to town and closer to home. Great repurposing of a former Village Inn with easy access and expansive parking. What to expect? The same experience at any Torchy's - fast, friendly service, sparkly clean, and delicious food. Vegetarian options are limited so, I opted for one of each of the veg tacos and the try three appetizer with roja salsa (I was told poblano is not currently available). Tacos speak for themselves in the pics ~ generously filled and beautifully presented. Be prepared to eat with a knife and fork!! Between these and the appetizer, this was a 5 napkin meal and probably should have used more! Happy hour options, full bar with frozen margs, four taps with a couple of local brews and four screens to enjoy while you eat. Taco menu is full of great options for the meat eater - be sure to review the Lakewood menu for up-to-date selection. Breakfast options are available, a couple of salads, and there are unique sides as well. I've had the Mexican street corn at other locations and it is a fav. Get in here Lakewood! You're gonna love it!

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately that didn't happen. I stood in line to order while the guests dog in front of me couldn't quit sniffing me. After the person at the cash register took my order I was immediately flashed a tip screen, I don't understand why because I stood in line to order and bussed my own table. I was given a buzzer so they knew where to deliver the food. I noticed the table was dirty after I sat down. I ordered 2 tacos, A chicken fajita and a "republican" with brisket. The total for 2 tacos with no drink was $12.42. My tacos arrived 17 minutes after I ordered and both were cold. Not lukewarm, or room temperature, but COLD. The brisket was very cold like it came right out of refrigeration and was extremely salty and dry. The pork was also very cold and had a strange flavor. Both tortillas were cold, not even close to warm. The noise level was off-the-charts loud and everyone was trying to talk over each other, including the staff. In the dining room it smelled like there was a grease trap or toilet backed up. After all this, I still can't figure out what the tip screen was supposed to be for.

Only good thing about this place is the queso. At least they serve alcohol in case you do get hungry and want a bite

Tacos Selene is a hidden gem near Denver Downtown!! It was located in one of the busy lanes over…read morelooking the beautiful downtown. As I walked in around 4 pm with family, we were the only ones in and then as the day progressed, more people came in for an early dinner! Clean, little rustic looking, Walls filled with fun graphics, kind staff, fun looking bathroom signs (women's) is how I will describe this restaurant. We ordered tacos - al pastor, carne asada, chicken, shredded beef, Adobada (pork without pineapple) and smothered marinated pork Burrito. Loved all the dishes and the clear winner for us was the Adobada meat (marinated pork). Every single bite was flavorful, juicy and tender. The seasoning was just right without it being overpowering. Both the Tacos and the gooey Burrito were filled with lots of meat - honestly, it was simple and satisfying without it being too greasy. Pricing was very affordable for the food portions and the food quality you get here. This is definitely an authentic spot you want to visit whenever you are in the mood to eat Mexican food - simple high quality food. Highly recommended and a spot I will always return to whenever I visit Denver next time.

Food was good not to spicy. Chicken tacos slightly under seasoned. Steak tacos definitely some of…read morethe better ones that I have had. Very popular place with local residents. The staff was friendly and polite. One side had great natural light when one side was a little darker. Vivid painting on one wall but honestly we are here for the food. At the level that I would come back again but not at the level to make it one of my regular places. The salsa bar would be a complete waste on Ryan because of his sensitive tummy. Food came out suspicious fast for really fresh food.
