I traveled to Austin earlier this year for work and every Austinite I asked for food recommendations suggested Torchy's Tacos as a city classic. Regretfully, I never made it to a Torchy's while in Texas--but luckily there's this one right in my backyard at home in Ohio. Torchy's is the Austin institution that went mainstream and is slowly spreading around the country. You'll order on a touchscreen kiosk and choose from tons of different taco and bowl combinations--including breakfast all day! Grab your cup and a buzzer and take a seat; servers will bring out your food as it's ready. I was pretty impressed with the selection overall. From beef to carnitas to chicken to eggs, you can get tons of different taco fillings. The drink station alone is impressive--the typical soda machine options plus iced tea, horchata and even cold brew coffee! There's also a bar if you're inclined to something alcoholic. All of the tacos and the hillbilly queso we ordered were delicious. I was actually impressed with the corn tortillas on my tacos--wasn't expecting them to taste so fresh. Tacos are a great size as well. Two is enough for a decent meal, but they don't pack the toppings on. Any taco you order (I would guess) can be picked up in its entirety. You won't be losing toppings at Torchy's! Service was a bit slow the day I came for lunch but nothing crazy (more like a sit down restaurant than the fast casual it's set up as) and the ambiance is nothing amazing. But the food is delicious, price is decent and I would definitely go back for a little taste of Austin. read more

I understand that many people enjoy this restaurant, but I'd like to share our experience from today. My husband and I are new to Ohio, and this was our first visit to this establishment. We ordered the appetizer called the "3 Some." The presentation was great, and we were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, once we began eating, everything--including the guacamole--was far too spicy for our taste. After discussing it together, we decided we wouldn't be able to enjoy the appetizer. I brought it to the manager and politely explained that it was too spicy for us and asked whether we could exchange it for a different appetizer that wasn't as spicy. He quickly and sharply said no. I then asked if that meant we were stuck paying for an appetizer we couldn't eat. I had my credit card out and asked for a refund. He told me a refund was not possible but said he could offer cards equal to the amount instead. I agreed to that. My husband then spoke with him, explaining that we've eaten at many Mexican restaurants and were simply hoping for something milder. The manager disagreed and began arguing with him. He also stated that he had offered me a refund, which was not true--he only offered cards. When my husband turned away to leave the conversation, the manager followed him and continued chastising him. My husband said, "So the customer is never right?" and the manager replied, "In this case, no." We were disappointed--not just by the food, but by how the situation was handled and the way we were spoken to. read more

A bit noisy but expected. Lots of laughter and upbeat music. Friendly service and great chips, nice and warm. Queso is delicious. We ordered the Democrat and grilled Baja shrimp tacos along with a fried avocado taco. OMG!! Definitely worth it. read more

We were super impressed with the price and quality of their kids menu. The boys absolutely LOVED their quesadillas. Every taco we tried was super yummy and I loved the cold brew and horchata mixed together. The service was so kind and accommodating towards our ruckus of a family. Perfect for Sunday afternoon lunch with the fam! read more

After hearing about Torchy's Tacos from a variety of people the past few months & their queso in particular, finally ventured from Dayton to check out. Right off 75 South the Liberty Center exit take the first right into the shopping center & it's right there. Ordered via the self service kiosk the threesome chips with queso, guacamole & salsa I love Mexican corn so wanted to try & then it was hard to pick a taco, as there was a variety to choose from, so went with the monthly special The American. The threesome came right away even before you could sit down so had the time to enjoy the chips - the queso is definitely the bomb! So flavorful, the guacamole was fresh and the tomatillo salsa good too. The corn I've had better and the taco was huge The restaurant wasn't busy at all but it was middle of the afternoon. Definitely worth the drive for the queso alone so good. read more

I got a couple of tacos. They do a great job of filling the tacos with a lot of food. Each taco comes with a sauce of your choosing. The chipotle ranch and Diablo sauce were good. Diablo was spicy and the ranch had a refreshing flavor. The price for the tacos was around $5 to $6. It's not bad for tacos and the quality of tacos you get is very high. They have a ton of customization opinions as well catering to your tastes. Chips and Queso were very good. The Queso had a hint of spice to it but I believe the tangy flavoring was slightly overpowering. The Scratch made churros dessert were delicious. It comes with dipping sauce of dulce de leche. Hands down one of the best churros I have had. The atmosphere inside was nice. They put a lot of effort in the design of the restaurant. read more

Clean place, fast service and food was really good. I just came off a 24 fast, so i tried this place, and i was impressed. I had the Chicken Grande Burrito and it was great; and as I said I was on a 24 fast so I had a breakfast burrito also. Both were great. Unless you have some special skills it's not a meal to try and eat while you drive. I'd come back. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Nachos with queso...recommended - Tacos Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

I've been here a couple of times now and it hits every single time. I order the Jamaican chicken taco and the Baja shrimp taco (on a flour tortilla) which is delicious and full of such fresh flavors. A must get tho is the queso. My family and I are obsessed with the queso. It is so delicious and is definitely on the list of my favorite quesos. The vibes inside the restaurant are also great. It's very open and clean inside. The service was also great. The staff was very kind and patient with us while we were deciding what to get as you have to order up at the kiosk and then the food gets served to your table. I would def recommend checking out Torchys if there is one near you. read more

I finally made it here to check the place out. All I knew was they had tacos and I was sold. I didnt realize at first that the Torchys part meant everything has a bit of spice. Thats ok I dont mind some kick, but temper your expectations. Luckily I got a very helpful staff member who went out of their way to explain the menu and give recommendations. You order at the register and then they will bring it out to you in the large dining area. There is also a large bar seating area with all kinds of adult beverages, which they do offer specials on at certain times. On this day I was in a hurry so I was grabbing take out. My food was ok, to be honest I was a little disappointed, but I think the fact that I took it to go really affected it. Because of how great the staff was I would like to return in person to give a better review of the food when eaten right away. read more

Good food. Place is clean and cheerful. We'll return. We had a few taco types and some nachos.

First time stopping here. We used the kiosk inside the door to order our food. It was easy to navigate except for the chip dip sauces. No heat index to guide your choices, I knew Diablo would be hot but the rest was questionable. I like that you can order 1/2 orders for the chips and salsa, the Mexican street corn and the chips and queso. I ordered the steak taco, the flavor was good but several pieces were chewy. We were happy with our food . The staff was helpful and friendly read more

Nothing but good things to say about my first visit to a Torchy's. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of. But, it's the food that will bring us back! We shared a huge bowl of guac and chips...possibly the best guac I've ever had. Hubby got the Democrat taco and I got the Tipsy Chicken and we loved them. He also enjoyed his margarita. We definitely want to go back soon and try some other menu items! read more

i didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised that you order your meal, pay and sit down, then they bring your food to you. it's definitely upscale, well done, fast food. i prefer flour tortillas over soft corn tortillas so i preferred the chicken taco over the shrimp. but they were both great, just personal preference I loved the quac!!!! it's was awesome! read more

***this is coming from someone with very minimal taco experience. I got 1 breakfast taco with beef brisket, egg and potatoes with Diablo sauce. The taco itself was good but not mind blowing. I will say that the quality of the beef was good and not something you can get from some regular fast food place. I am happy to say that only 1 taco filled me up. I didn't need to get 3 or anything. The Diablo sauce was a good and slow burn. Nothing super hot, I was able to dunk my taco in the sauce container and eat it without injuring myself. read more

Brought friends for their first time! We had chips and guac + queso (amazing!), street corn, side of rice/beans-- assortment of tacos, one burrito and one salad. All of the food was delicious! Loved that they were generous with the sides of sauces. Service was fairly quick, lots of seating inside, outside and bar seats, we ordered some to-go items and it took a little longer to receive than we'd hoped. Overall food was excellent, presentation was nice, service was great, you definitely get a bang for your buck! read more

I came with my BFF and we both got the trailer park trash taco, fried chicken with cheese sauce and queso. We shared the chips and queso and the house rocks was mostly consumed by me. I will say this, it is worth the hype, tacos are around $5 each, my drink was $10 and the chips and queso would have been around $5 but got it free for signing up for their rewards program. The service was counter order, with a sensor for the table. Food was delivered fairly quickly and tables were cleaned and cleared by Monica who was very helpful and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was very clean and tidy. Looked good and wasn't overly packed. It isn't a matter of coming back again, it is a matter of can I go back tomorrow again. Or even better I wish I could ride my bike here I would come back often. Come give it a try. I think it is worth it. read more

We ordered 4 tacos and the chips and guac - all were delicious. The food here is super flavorful, so it may not be best to bring someone spice or garlic adverse here. The only thing that prevents me from giving this place five stars is the limited vegetarian options and the counter service. Torchy's offers only two veggie options, the Fried Avocado one was very good. It is a pretty small place, with tables being very close together. The counter service mixed with the music made it really hard to hear, and it was a bit stressful ordering. However, they have great outdoor seating and ingenious table trackers so servers can find you so we still had a wonderful time! PS - look up their secret menu before going, my partner really enjoyed the Trailer Park Hillbilly Style and said it was one of the best tacos he ever had read more

My second review is based off a takeout order... I ordered 2 kids fried chicken tacos yet received grilled chicken which was very disappointing as this is not at all what I wanted. I was craving the amazing fried chicken tenders y'all have. I also ordered a kids chicken quesadilla this was delicious and if I hadn't received the wrong thing prior it would've hit the spot for the grilled chicken need. The rice had a decent flavor but so much cilantro on top it was unbearable. The chocolate chip fried balls are absolutely delicious. The highlight of my meal. All in all I'm not sure I'll be back unless I eat inside again since I can't guarantee my to go orders to be made correctly. My receipt showing what I ordered with pics of what I got is below. read more

I've heard this place get hyped up, but I'd really only recommend it for true food junkies ir taco enthusiasts. I am not a huge fan of spicy food, and most things I tried had too much of a kick for me, the famous queso included. The chips to go with them were average too. I definitely recommend the churros though. They were absolutely delicious and fresh. I like that it can be a quicker meal since you order at the counter rather than having to wait for a server. If you try, be sure to study the menu first since the tacos choices are pretty complex, and maybe bring a glass of milk to cool down the spice. read more

Came here for their soft opening event. Absolutely love it! The layout is pretty chill. You just queue to order and find a place to sit. And they will bring your food to you. Waiters would constantly check on you. Feel free to ask them for recommendations before you order too. Their staff has a good knowledge of their food. We got their green chile queso and chips, and it is amazing!!! I can see why it's their award winning appetizer! We were starving, so I totally forgot to take a photo of it. But trust me. It's amazing! It's totally a must-have. Ordered their salmon salad, and the salmon portion was huge and generous! 2 salmon filet! It's totally worth that $14. Tacos are soft shell tortillas, which is absolutely amazing! P.S. you can add queso to your tacos, too. Would totally be back here for their amazing queso and chips! read more

This was a new place for us. Wasn't sure what to order. The nice young girl at the cashier was great directing us on what was best selling items and she said they were known for chips and queso. So glad she told us they are fantastic. If you sign up for the app you get a free order of chips and queso. Nice!! Very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. We will be back read more

This is the worst place on the planet. My family and I came starving after a long day of shopping and my two year old was so excited to have torchy's tacos. After over an hour wait we still had no food and I had to take my devastated toddler home to starve. So sad at the service here. After continuous complaints we were told only that they are "understaffed" but my online order that was supposed to be ready at 7:25 was not ready over an hour later. Do better. read more

Torchys is not an expensive place ; definetly kid friendly and you can even get a few cocktails . It has outdoor seating · Doesn't accept reservations and has a few vegan dishes like the rice which was really good. The queso has to be some of the best I had in a while. However I didn't love the jerk taco ; it was a little busy flavor wise It sits right in liberty so shop a while and come fill up on tacos. Get them as spicey or not as you want them. They are worth the try. read more

FIRST TIMER: This was the first time I ever set foot in a Torchy's and I was generally satisfied, though it was good that my sister was helping me because overall the layout was a bit confusing. The food, though, was good. I'm not adventurous, so I had the Wrangler and it was decent. I've read other reviews complaining that the tacos are too "small", but that's simply ridiculous. Two about filled me to bursting and I am NOT a small man. The Queso was also very flavorful, but different than what I'm accustomed to when it comes to Mexican restaurants. Generally, I'm used to the white and creamy variety, while this was yellow and chunky. Shout out to Melvin our server for being friendly and helpful. I didn't appreciate the tipping function at the register, but I still added 15% out of guilt because I'm a big ol' softy. read more

Fun place with interesting tacos. I had the house margarita and it was very tasty. Fresh lime and a salty rum. The guacamole and chips were a great addition to the tacos. I had the democrat taco the barbacoa was tender and flavorful and the tipsy chicken taco was on point. Over stuffed and quite tasty, she had to eat it with a fork.

Corn was super roasted which I liked Drink was good. Would try something else next time. Was a peach margarita on the rocks read more

My daughter & I went here for the grand opening. There was a line out the door! Once inside, we opted to sit at the bar for faster service. The ambiance is a typical sports bar. The bartender was attentive & took good care of us. I ordered the green chile pork soft taco & a Coke Zero. My daughter got the Trailer Park soft taco, Baja Shrimp soft taco & Brushfire soft taco along with a frozen margarita. The tacos were flavorful & we liked the sauces they brought us for topping the tacos. I tasted the shrimp taco & regretted not ordering it. I also tasted the margarita & it was good too. I checked out the menu on their website & noticed they're only offering about half of it currently. I'd like to return when the full menu is available. read more

I enjoyed the egg, cheese, and chorizo taco. The flour tortilla was warm, the chorizo was not greasy at all, and the cheese was the perfect add on. The tacos may be the star of the show, but don't sleep on the queso! It's slightly spicy tang paired with the thin and crispy chips make for a satisfying combination. Torchy's has terrific tacos and high quality queso, but their service is really where they shine! The staff goes above and beyond to create a wonderful customer experience. read more

Food, perfection as always. Coming from a Texan, this place is doing AMAZING for not being open that long. The service was great. Very attentive at the register and the manager was clearing tables the entire time we were there. They usually don't do that. Ambiance was perfect on the Reds' Opening Day. Lots of people were there and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Would make the 4 hour drive from Tennessee again! read more

You have to try this place! They're from Texas and you can tell by the heat! None of the food we ordered was advertised as spicy, however, there was definitely some bold flavor in everything that we had. It wasn't terribly spicy to where it was unpleasant, but everything seemed to have a kick to it. Despite being busy on a Friday night, the service was really good. It definitely has a fast casual type of vibe, as expected. As long as you don't hate spicy food, you should for sure try it out. Delicious! read more

I gotta say I think Torchy's is overhyped. The food was decent, I got the chicken and beef fajitas. Maybe I should have branched out and gotten something else but I heard they weren't spicy :). They were good tacos, messy to eat because they are loaded. The service was quick and pleasant. It was packed so be prepared for lots of noise. When it's nice out there's patio seating which will be good. Overall, I would try it again if I'm in the area but I won't be making a trip to it just to have it. read more

As an authentic Mexican. I can say that the tacos were "Ok" at best being in the USA. Overpriced tacos makes it difficult to justify the bill. Atmosphere could be more colorful and alive. Service was better than ok but nothing over the top. read more
