Fantastic tacos. Great place for lunch or dinner. I have been to a couple other Torchy's and I always get great service can great food. I love the model of being able to get a super cheap and well priced single taco, or add more for a larger meal. They tacos are awesome. Tons of options and I have yet to have a taco combination that I did not love. read more

Where do you go on Taco Tuesday when it's 9:30pm and many places have closed? Torchy's is a good option. I have driven by multiple Torchy's locations over the years, but have never stopped. As I was heading to In and Out burger tonight, call it devine intervention, but my steering wheel jerked to the right and into the lot! It is Tuesday, right? Well, being a Torchy's newbie it took me a minute to peruse the menu and it looked a little pricier than I like so I was waffling between 2 or 3 tacos but Triple Torchy Taco Tuesday had a good ring to it. Well, after careful consideration I ordered the Brushfire, the Fo Sho, and the Democrat. I started with the Brushfire. Love this taco with Jamaican Jerk combined with jalapeños and Diablo sauce. Before starting this taco I tested a half spoon the Diablo sauce for Torchyness. It is in between mild and somewhat hot. So I dolloped a few spoonfuls into my taco. This was a darn good taco! I didn't remember that this taco had jalapeños until the last couple bites when I got a mouthful causing a 2 alarm blaze in my chest. But it wasn't run to the machine for another Diet Coke hot. The second taco I had was the Fo Sho and it was a good taco too. It does have some onions so get your smooches before eating. Again, a few spoons of Diablo for a little heat! The last taco was the Democrat. Now this taco was also amazing! A squirt of lime really works with this taco. The podium you ask? It was basically a photo finish! Coming in third, the Fo Sho. In second place, the Democrat, and in first place, the Brushfire. Again all of these were good and if eaten in a different order the podium could change. I see reviews talking about the price and it did seem a little high but not unreasonable. Look at the picture I took and marvel at the size of these tacos. From the flavors to the quality ingredients I felt like it was worth it. 3 tacos and a Diet Coke came to $21 something and my $3 in the tip carafe made it $24. Most places in the medium price point will cost $20 with no tip. So I'll pay to enjoy my meal and skip the lotto ticket. read more

Hey, it's a chain but they do tacos pretty well! Have been to this location a couple of times when visiting Lakewood as well as to one of their locations closer to home. Food is consistently flavor packed and the tacos are generously sized. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Find another location! I love Torchys Tacos, but I am yet to have a good experience at this location. It always takes forever to get food (even if you order for pick up online). Most recently, I was almost late to a movie because it took 45 minutes to get a taco...and then the chicken tender was really a nugget. read more

I'm used to eating Torchys in Austin so when I saw it was in Colorado too, I was so happy. The food is just as great there as in Texas. I love Torchys! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a place you order at the register then go Find an open table to sit at. They also have a bar that you can walk up to and order with them as well. Very laid back. Breakfast and margarita menu but we had neither of these. Very friendly staff who answered all of my questions efficiently and with no judgement. I had one that she did not know so she went and found the answer-so helpful! Yes they have vegan options! I had the Fo Sho with the sauce on the side. The sauce is NOT vegan!! On their website it says dairy and egg free and the kitchen confirmed that I should not eat the sauce. They have an avocado sauce that is an option. * I did not order the other veggie option but was told if I get plain avocado instead of fried -and no cheese-that it would also be vegan* Very open with lots of seating. No patio. They gave us a buzzer but a nice woman brought our food straight to us at our table instead. read more

My first time to a Torchys and I was at the one in Belmar, Wadsworth and Alameda. I was Very pleased . I got 2 tacos and they were just the right size; not small like some can be, I got a chicken taco and the fried avocado ( sorry I don't know appropriate names) and they were both very delicious. And the queso was bomb!!!! read more

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 read more

Torchy's Tacos - S the bartender who completely ignored me was so snooty that it made me never want to come back to this location - Tacos Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

I stopped in on this cold and snowy day to have a nice warm meal. I have not been to a Torchy's in several years. This is a brand new building in a great location and nice area of town. The parking is plentiful and in close. The building is immaculate inside and out. The menu is first rate and has plenty of fabulous choices. The woman that took our order and the woman that delivered our order to the table were pleasant and neat in their appearance. The bartender was also professional, polite and fun. After placing our order, we had our food on the table in about ten minutes. The food was hot, fresh, well made and very tasty. The street corn and the churro are first rate sides. Everything about this location is five star aside from the limited non-meat choices and the price. Six, seven and eight dollar individual tacos is extreme. I eat two with ease and my make companion downed four with ease. That makes for an extremely expensive "lunch". read more

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. read more

The bartender, Courtney, was great! She was good at the bar but was also very attentive on the floor. We come here all the time and she's the first person to bus our table...from the opposite side of the floor from where the bar is. I'm hoping management sees this because service here is usually average, at best (they aren't a full service restaurant to be fair, but that makes her effort that much better). 4 stars because the chicken wasn't fully cooked and we had to send it back. Courtney was great about that too. read more

So I just went to torchy's tacos for the first time great environment. The prices are accurate. I got a thing called the Republican. I got brisket with barbecue sauce and some type of cilantro, chipotle sauce, I believe but I took off two items that were on the taco that I did not want that one was good then there was the Democrat, which was Barbacoa cilantro lime wedge it was all right and for dipping sauce I gotthe chipotle sauce on the side and some type of salsa. That was really good. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Usually we go to the location in Highlands Ranch where we typically have great service. This new Lakewood location was also pretty good for service. Nice guy taking orders and answering questions. We ordered the Airstream salad with salmon and it was good according to my husband. I've gotten this item from the HR location lots of times and this time it seemed like the protein portion was a lot smaller but I'm not 100% sure. I do wish they offered more dressing options than just a vinaigrette but it's not the end of the world. I ordered two bacon/egg/cheese tacos. I love these with the chipotle ranch and some pico de gallo. I love love love eggs and am grateful there is a reliable spot to get them for dinner. My complaint at both the HR and Lakewood locations is that the bacon is completely inedible. Almost unrecognizable as bacon. It seems like they probably get a big jug of bacon from Sysco or something and then they don't do anything to improve on it. It is huge dice-shaped blobs of fat, half-inch cubes. Raw. When I get this item from HR, I usually bring it home to eat and I can sometimes render away some of the fat in a pan or the microwave. My recommendation is that they dump all their Sysco bacon into a pan and cook it down further so it can actually be chewed and swallowed. Nasty nasty and I just had to scrape it all off the tacos today. Overall a pleasant casual vibe with nice people working. read more

Amazing food and service the manager Oliver and the server Anh were amazing. I got the grade burrito with chicken and it was delicious.

Absolutely delicious! The various salsas are flavorful and a great addition to the street tacos. Queso was delicious too!

I am truly shocked by the 3 stars and bad reviews!! I have now been twice and I was so happy both times. First, I am going to say I have had BAD luck with food in Colorado since moving here. I knew this was a chain, didn't expect much, but dang!! It exceeded my expectations and then some! The first time I went I got the chicken fajita taco. People are complaining about the price, but that taco is $5.30 and is filled with all sort of goodness! Lots of chicken and fajita veggies, and they give you 2 types of salsa with it. I have to say, I consider myself a salsa snob at this point, and both salsas were fresh and delicious and really added to the already very flavorful taco. That one taco honestly filled me up, but if you have a bigger appetite than mine, I think two is comparable to a burrito, and $10 for lunch is a score as far as I am concerned. I'll also say it was fast. I don't know why people are saying they were slow. I will say that I learned yesterday on my second visit, that they have only been open 6 weeks... let them get their groove down, peeps!!! Tranquilo, tranquilo, mis amigos! So, I went again yesterday during Happy Hour. I thought for sure the margarita would be mediocre, but drinks are $2 off, so I thought, "Why not?" Mi gente, it was delicious!! An ex-bartender here -- I could tell this was not all mix. And sure enough, they make their own mix with fresh limes and agave, and it showed. I ordered the really hot taco (I forgot the name)... it has mangos and jerk chicken and he warned me that it would be spicy. He was not lying. But, again, the salsa was a completely different salsa and it burned my mouth in an amazing way, and I loved it. I don't like pure spice just to burn my internal organs, I need flavor, and they delivered. Also, the chicken was delicious, too. It was totally different than the first taco I ordered, with different spices but cooked perfectly: juicy, had a charred flavor... super delicious. Then you combine it with mango, and the salsa, etc., and you have yourself a perfect taco. I loved it. I then ordered a taco to go. I am going to repeat that their tacos are really filling. That one taco while I was there was enough, and the to-go taco was for my lunch the next day. Finally, after 2 tacos, a delicious fresh made margarita, a full tummy, my bill was $19. C'mon people, $19 for dinner and a cocktail? That is a bargain. I am definitely going back. And thank you, thank you, for not putting green chile on everything. Not my thing. I know it is held in high regard here in CO, but it's just not my thing. They might put them on their burritos, not sure... they are a Texas-based restaurant, apparently. Anyway, ignore the bad reviews and give them a try. I have been trying to find good food since I moved here, and this place has finally fit the bill read more

Wow, over 6.00 dollars for a tiny taco. I should of went to taco bell. Lesson learned.

Had such an awesome experience tonight. We have been going to torchys for years and found out that a new one opened up next to where we live. Tonight we sat at the bar to watch the Stanley cup finals and the bartender, Peyton (sp?), was amazing. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and had a great time. Excellent service, great food. We will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

Price, flavor, speed, quality, and ambiance, it's got it all! I recommend this location despite the poor reviews as I think they were there right around the grand opening and since then, those issues seemed to have been worked out for the better. read more

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

Been here a few times and it hasn't disappointed honestly. Food has always been hot and super tasty. Service has always been very attentive and quick (even the mascot opened the door for me, chivalry is not dead haha). Location is very clean and there's a lot of seating and even a bar if you're looking for some happy hour time! As per usual, I recommend the trailer park (make it trashy), the tipsy chick and if you want a simple yet tasty one, the chicken fajita. The queso was almost quite yummy read more

I do not imagine I will go back to a Torchy's for a long time. The food was way too expensive, the worker lied about the portions sizes of the tacos, and we had to wait for someone to take our order. When we got there, someone was waiting in line before us and he was clearly waiting for a worker to get to the front to take his order. When it was finally our turn to order, I expressed how appalled I was at the price. Not the workers fault of course. But then she said that the tacos were large after I inquired about the size. I would learn upon receiving my cold tacos that this was not true. When she took our order, she gave me a buzzer and I waited inside for 15 minutes. I figured they were freshly making our food, so I knew it might be a while. I went outside to be with my boyfriend and his new puppy and waited out there, expecting the buzzer to go off any second. Another 20 minutes pass by and still nothing. At this point, I was about to ask for a refund. I went inside to ask where my food was, and another employee joked to me "Ah, your foods been waiting here for you!" I was appalled. The buzzer didn't go off and our food was left there at the front for who knows how long. Why did no one bring our food? I opened the tacos when we got home and I was annoyed to see that these were very average sized $7.00 tacos. All of our food was cold and we completely wasted our money and time. There was no dinner rush, there was no one there except for us and two other families. The employees did not seem busy and I was so confused why one of the five employees standing by my cold tacos couldn't bring it over. read more

I go here with my husband in laws frequently. They all like the proteins, and I'm super picky about meat, so I'll take their word for it. For me the meat is just too meaty or too salty. Everything else is delicious! I've tried several combinations of meat free things. Their guacamole is sooooo good! It's always easy to get someone's attention to get more chips and the people take your orders are always nice enough. We've had to speak to the managers a few times because of my husband's allergies or my dietary issues, They're always super helpful. Over all the only issues we've had are standard issues- like forgetting our salsa once in the 20+ times we've been. This places is definitely allergy friendly. You just tell them your allergy and they flag it. It can get a bit too noisy for me, but it's not too bad. I like that it doesn't have harsh overhead lights and the music is always at a good volume. read more

Way over priced for the food that you get no better than any food truck around will not go back!!!!!!!!!!

Beyond nasty ! I paid about $12 dollars for a steak burrito. It didn't have any steak in it. It was like some type of cheap standard beef and only a few pieces in the whole burrito. Most of the burrito was rice, beans, & sour cream. It was so nasty that it tasted like sour cream burrito with added beans. I ended up throwing about half of this in the garbage. I would never go here again. Don't waste your money. Make your own burritos at home ! $12 dollar lesson learned ! read more
