    Can never go wrong with trying their specials! Something new and different every time we come

    Torchy's Tacos was the place I tried today, and believe me it was really good. The place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside you're greeted by a friendly staff. The restaurant has a full service bar with a large selection of drinks. As far as what I order, I had the Republican and the Trailer Park. The first one was a good tender brisket with great flavor the other one was a fried chicken and it was one of the best chicken tacos I've had in a long time. I definitely recommend this place.

    Este lugar tiene muy buen ambiente, te puedes sentar afuera o adentro, los tacos son demacioado diferentes a un taco Mexicano , ellos son más Texmex. Ellos cada mes tienen un taco diferente, exclusivo para cada mes, después de eso lo quitan del menú, yo ordené dos tacos con carne de cerdo llamado Carnitas con queso cotija enésima, a mi paladar demasiado rico, el queso derretido con chip delicioso con un toque picante muy agradable, tienen varias locaciones en la ciudad, el servicio es muy amable y el local muy limpio

    Fajita Taco.  Had to eat one first!!!

    Food Service and atmosphere an A+. Queso- don't pass it up 3 types and 3 Lip smacking moments. Tacos full of flavor cilantro and OMG so Good. Remember to specify corn or flour tortilla if you have a preference.. Yikes!!!!. Did I tell you they have; you guessed it BEER!!! Who needs South of a Border. Light em up Torchy's and bring the sauce...

    My first experience with Torchys was not that good but it was at an Astros game so they had some limitations and being at a ballgame it was definitely overpriced. So we decided to try them again. This experience was better, reasonably priced, and we enjoyed it. We both had the bowls and they were good. I had fried chicken on mine and the misses had the grilled . Good flavor and very filling. The service seemed ok but what I did not like was that you ordered from a kiosk. Since this was my first time at a sit down Torchy's the kiosk could not answer my questions. Someone then saw me struggling and came to assist. Oh well, I prefer the human interaction instead of ordering from a machine. All in all it was good. We would probably come back.........

    Trailer Park, Carnitas, Fried Avocado, and Mofaux

    We actively searched for a Torchy's, which is Phil's first stop whenever he's in town, based on "Somebody Feed Phil" (S6E3). Though he went to the flagship, which he calls "Tex-Mex, not Mexican-Mexican", the food's the same, including the green chile cheese sauce, for which he said, "if you're coming to Texas, you're gonna need a little queso." We also got the tacos, which he calls "Texas tacos" that let you "feel the Texas". The menu has lots of interesting, food-trucky choices. I liked my unique fried chicken "trailer park" taco, but preferred the green chile pork. My wife got a fake meat "mofaux" taco and a fried avocado one. She thought her tacos lacked flavor, but, like Phil, she dipped them in the queso. The guacamole, margaritas, and food make this restaurant quality with fast food convenience, like self-ordering and soda refills (with this being Texas, they always have Diet Dr. Pepper!), with the prices being somewhere in between.

    Classic tacos: egg, sausage and cheese & egg, potato, and cheese
    Dee Ann M.

    So....I don't live in Texas anymore but I used to live in Austin. Torchy's was a hot spot for my and my bestie since 2006. I hadn't been in forever and loved that they were popping up all over the place. This place is fun on names, fun on flavor, and just an overall cool place to meet up. Inflation has really hit this place since I've been though. At almost $5 a taco, it's not someplace I would go regularly. I mean the tacos and flavors are on point but it will stay a nostalgic memory for me that I will come back for every now and then. We came during a Texas school day around 11am so there was only one other table there. We definitely beat the weekend and week night crowds. Our food came out fast and hot. I will say again...the flavors are on point. Very innovative and creative with good flavors before it was such a popular thing. I missed one of my favorite tacos and couldn't figure out which one it was. I guess they changed it to make it a bit more family friendly. Of course, I didn't know what it was until my friend explained what I was ordering. So....I missed my Dirty Sanchez. That was my favorite back in the day. The classics were good: Egg was cooked well and they don't skimp on it. So it is a full taco but still too pricey for me for an everyday taco place. I got a Democrat & the barbacoa is really good and not greasy. The avocado, pico, and extras make it even better. Also got a Trailer Park and I really wanted to 'get it trashy' but that added like something around over $1 more! Yea...no thank you for the overcharged add on. We also got the fried avocado taco and green chili pork. The fried avocado was really nice and so was the green chili pork. It was nice and moist, not dry. Overall the food is really pretty good and fun. You will enjoy it and I do recommend the queso also. It's kind of pricey but I guess that is to be said for most food establishments nowadays.

    Breakfast tacos, perfect
    Jessica V.

    I wanted some breakfast tacos before heading back home to CA. My friends couldn't think of any spots other than Torchy's, which they said was a fast casual spot with great margaritas. I said sure let's do it, and I'm glad I did! Perfect breakfast taco experience! Clean, empty restaurant with quick service. Portions were good and the flour tortillas were so good. Great spice on the tacos. I would definitely go back!

    Chorizo and egg tacos
    Scott B.

    Excellent breakfast tacos from Torchy's Tacos in NB today. The chorizo had a nice flavor, and the eggs were perfectly cooked but still had a nice texture to them. Very pleased with the quick service today. Plenty of inside seating or drive thru is an option if you're on to go.

Margaritas are delicious and have at least a shot of tequila. Voted best margarita since 2012 and I cannot dispute that. Chicken nachos hit the spot. Ate light getting BBQ later.

However, after giving…read morethis a lot of thought, I feel that's unfair to those looking to Yelp! for an honest opinion and experience. Additionally, Cantina del Rio advertising they have the "best margarita" made it all the worse that not only was it not the "best" or subpar, it was so bad half of us couldn't finish ours. And since I am being honest, locals warned me not to go to Cantina del Rio for the food, but the drinks were good. Taking that in consideration we have consistently avoided it until today, when all we wanted was a drink after a day in the river. I wish I could say at least the views were good, but after asking the hostess to sit us at the best seats in the house (it was late afternoon on a Tuesday so it was not an unfair request), we were sat outside to see the construction. No "rio". Not even a glimpse. I have to say we snacked on chips and salsa and queso and they were better than the drinks. It's such a cute spot and so disappointing that the margaritas were the "worst".

Because of that I don't really go out and eat, especially, to places in highly tourist areas, 9 times out of 10 you can expect, almost without exception for the food to taste generic despite at ambiance and visual appeal of the place. Tack on to that, I hate over paying for anything I can do better at home. And I'm pretty good in a kitchen. So with great reluctance I agreed to dinner at the Gruene River Grill. Like many places in a tourist trap the ambiance was good, nailed It. But I expected it. The service was good, as it often is. Unfortunately in a touristy area I don't give restaurants credit for those two pieces. I ordered the pork chaps and my wife ordered the pork medallions. They arrived at the table and immediately I began to realize my negative expectations were being challenged. The food was hot, not warm, hot. The plate visual was beautiful. Portion size, easily for two, at least the pork chops. I was sure this is where the positive experience would end. Then I took a bite. Negative expectations defied! I make a damn good smoked bone in pork chop, but this made mine seem like second hand at best. This was THE BEST pork chop I had ever had. I don't think I talked for the rest of the meal. Delicious! Beautiful. Handled with care. Did I say delicious. Did I say it was better than any other pork chop I had ever had? In case you missed it. It was the BEST pork chop I'd ever had and I just wanted to say, "thank you" to the GRG for such a welcomed and unexpected surprise! (My wife felt the same about her order)

    Title: Definitely Not Their Best Night…read more I've eaten here at least four or five times and have always been impressed with the food. It's a casual, family-style environment, including the bar area, which is essentially one large communal table where anyone can grab an open seat. Unfortunately, today was completely different. The moment I opened the front door, I noticed a strong gas-like odor that became more noticeable farther inside. I mentioned it to the staff and was told a manager attributed the smell to being near sewage. That explanation didn't make much sense to me considering I've eaten here several times, they haven't relocated, and I've never smelled anything like it before. I stayed, but then my soup arrived cold and my made-to-order tacos were also cold. I eventually took my food to go. The waitress herself was pleasant, and I still tipped her 30% because these issues weren't necessarily hers to control. I've had enough good experiences here that I wouldn't write the restaurant off based on one bad visit, but between the unusual odor and cold food, this was definitely not the experience I've come to expect.
