We love Torchy's, but unfortunately this visit was a big disappointment. We tried the nachos for the first time, and if you're tempted to do so.... Give it a miss. Our food had clearly been sitting for a bit because the queso had started to congeal and some chips were already soggy when they hit the table. There was enough queso, but the other toppings were pretty sparse. The picture attached is my plate with no protein and extra pico and sour cream, which cost 30 cents each. Also note the large chunk of tomato in the pico- about an inch long and an inch wide. My husband had a similar chunk in his. He got his with brisket, and there wasn't a ton of tha either. It IS a large portion of chips and an acceptable amount of queso, but in general the dish was vastly overpriced. As always, the people were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean, but the nachos are a big no from us. Edit: I have bumped my review up from two stars to four. Torchy's reached out to us and DID make it right. While we had a bad experience, they took action to make it up to us, and that deserves to be commended! We do love Torchy's and will be back. I respect them for going out of their way to make things up to their customers. read more

Torchy's never disappoints! Came here for breakfast. We sat at the bar and ordered right away. I had to have my favorite, Mr. Orange. It was excellent, as usual. I also found a second favorite from their Secret Menu- The Matador! The Taco of the Month - the Shuggie wasn't for me, although it was also good. Service was quick and the bartender was attentive. There were only a few diners as they just opened when we came in. The place was clean, as always read more

I'm so sad that they closed the location in Overland Park, but man that doesn't stop me from eating at Torchy's! This place has something for everyone and I love it so much I can't stop coming! 10/10 food and service. read more

Torchy's definitely lives up to the name, everything I tried leaned spicy, and there weren't many options that worked for my sensitive stomach/palette (I probably should've listened to the "Torchy's" warning sign lol). That said, the fried avocado is amazing. I'm obsessed with avocados and I've honestly never seen fried avocado offered like that before. I couldn't handle it on a taco with all the heat of sauces and pico, but on its own it was still super delicious and worth ordering. None of the other sauces I could try ended up working for me either, so I felt pretty limited unless I went kids menu. The restaurant itself wasn't too busy and it was pretty clean, but the staff seemed like they didn't really want to be there. When I asked questions to try to work around my diet limits, they weren't very willing to explain options. If you love spice, you'll probably have a great time here. If you're heat sensitive or have dietary limits, it might be a rough pick. If you like avocado, try that fried avocado! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Before my "yelping days" I actually went to this chain restaurant in Texas a couple years ago and fell in love! I fell back in love all over again in Kansas! We NEED a Torchy's in UTAH because I want their queso!!!! I review restaurants with my OAT method: O= Overall experience - It's a fast food ambiance with a walk up line to order food. The price per taco is $5-6, which is not horrible because they are quite stuffed. I would recommend getting 2 tacos, especially if you get chips and queso. A= Appearance - The food looked fresh! It's a small detail, but I love how they had fresh sliced lemons near the soda machine! T= Taste - I went with my family and we ordered quite a few things! House Rocks Margarita -- Yum! love some good salt around the rim! Hillbilly Queso & Chips -- AMAZING!! My family is a huge chips & queso fam. It's our go-to for almost any appetizer! I could have this for my entire meal and be content! Trailer Park Trashy -- 5/10, the sauce was good, but eating a fried chicken taco was weird. It kind of reminded me of a higher quality Snack Wrap from McDonald's. Fried avocado -- 7/10, super good flavor! I've never had a fried avocado, but would definitely get again!! They did go a little too heavy on the refried beans though. Republican -- My mom had this and said she would get it again! Mr. Orange -- If you like salmon tacos, my sister swears by this! Baja Shrimp Grilled -- Ehh 6/10, the shrimp was not really grilled it just seemed steamed. However, I did like the touch of pickled onions! read more

I cannot recommend this restaurant . I took my son there for his birthday because we wanted to try something new . We paid up front and I gave them a 20% tip . We waited a half an hour at our table for our food . When I brought this to their attention it took them another 10 minutes to get the food out to us . They had claimed that the kitchen never got the ticket . So it was poor communication between the cooks and the cashier . They did give us a complimentary bowl of queso and some chips since it was my son's birthday . But this nicety does not make up for us going hungry for 40 minutes . My son is a diabetic and he needed to eat his meal with the insulin he was taking . This place does not have its act together . read more

I have been here twice and had a good experience both times. It is easy to order at the kiosks and even though it was busy our food came out very quickly. I had the democrat taco and a side order of guacamole. There is enough guac that I definitely should have shared. While everything is good, it is pricey for what you get. read more

Torchy's Tacos - The Democrat - Tacos Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Torchy's has my favorite guacamole (even my brother who normally doesn't like guac shared in eating it). Also a fan of them letting you order any taco "in a bowl" so you don't feel bad gorging on chips. I discovered Torchy's in TX where I live and it's consistent from location to location. My brother and I frequently stop by this location driving out of town from Chief's games. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is they are a bit on the pricey side. read more

We tried torchy's tacos for the first time and it was pretty darn good!! I'm not sure it was damn good but pretty darn good. Service was fantastic. Ambience was pretty relaxed. We didn't have a drink tonight, but we might have to try a drink later. Sounds like there are some pretty good reviews. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of my food, but the other pictures here are pretty accurate!! read more

For what it is, the food and margaritas were good. I would recommend if you want something quick and casual.

Food is always amazing and my bartender Nyguyen is absolutely amazing. Loving coming on Tuesday for music bingo!

Torchy's is delicious. I haven't found this location as easy to order from as the others, but now that the others have closed it will have to do. I am a huge fan of their burritos and secret menu tacos. read more

Food is always good, different Tex mex. Last visit fajitas were not hot tho. Guac is best around, queso spicy. Fast service and always clean. read more

So happy that this location is the best in Kansas! I don't know how they have it, but the tortillas are always fresh and the bar has great service. They do a lot of events for the community including music bingo night on Tuesday. Cannot recommend more! Shout out to the host Elo and Aubrey who treats you like it's home. It's a lot of fun! Good tacos! read more

I had heard of this place from years ago and I decided to try it today. Sat at the bar and received prompt service with a smile. I ordered from the secret menu and the main. Both came out quickly and tasted great. It is nice inside and seemed fairly clean. I would come back! read more

Torchy's Tacos - napkins - Tacos Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

This place has a fun menu, that integrates creativity and flavor for their taco offerings. Even their queso is unique as it has avocado in it. The food quality is not super consistent as we went twice last week and one of the tacos was order both visits (hogfather), but it did not taste as fresh and smoked the second time, but instead more dry. The prices are a little high for me to come often, but when I do, I typically enjoy it. They also have several TVs inside to watch the games and offer bingo nights as one of their special events. It's too bad the other local stores closed down, such as the state line location which was closer to me. read more

I always have amazing food when I am here. This last visit my Mr. Orange taco tasted a bit weird. The bartender offered to make me a brand new one or gave me options for other items on the menu. She was very sweet and accommodating! read more

We went for lunch, the ambiance was chill, the service was great and the food was delicious.

The service was the best part of this place. Everyone I spoke to was nice and friendly. Sadly of the 3 things I ordered only the Green Chile Pork was good, it's simple with a good flavor. The Democrat was disappointing, the Barbacoa was pure fat. Also didn't care for the queso & chips. If I go back I'd try the vegetarian tacos. read more

No bueno had the steak Fajitas tortillas were dry and the carne is chewy. The horchata was nice! Service is weird! Not my type of Mexican restaurant. read more

This was a cool, new place! I thought the tacos were great. The one taco with brisket was lit. I would say the quest was spicy but overall, this was a good lunch option. I like to be able to go to a faster food option that is still better than Taco Bell or feeling terrible after you leave. Pretty fast service and they have Coke Zero. There's an also a ton of seating. The person who was our server was able to give us recommendations. read more

First timer here at a Torchy's Tacos on our way out west to Kansas. We stopped outside of KC in Olathe at this location. Being a first-timer, the guy at the counter explained how it worked and walked us through what some of the tacos were and gave suggestions - and very thorough I might add. I went with the 'Democrat' through gritted teeth and the chicken fajita tacos. The barbacoa was very good and seasoned very well. The cilantro and avocado were also nice touches to the corn tortilla - which isn't always my favorite. The chicken fajita taco was on flour tortilla and was good too - though the cheese blend was very pedestrian. We shared the queso with chorizo which was pretty spicy all things considered - but very good. Very busy. Kind of a louder place which was interesting with a bar and drive thru as other options to ordering. read more

Haven't been to Torchy's in awhile and reminded tonight why I missed it! Such darn good food! I love that these tacos are so tasty and filling! I did the Scallywag special! Oh, so so good! Great people serving here. Will be back soon! read more

Best breakfast burrito on the planet. Service was superb fast. Plenty of parking. A++++

I've been hesitant to try Torchys due to the price, but I finally took the plunge today and it far exceeded my expectations! I ordered the brushfire (a jerk chicken taco served with a super spicy sauce and mango) and the tipsy chick (the corn was the standout here for me - creating a nice balance of flavors that was sweet and tangy). The two tacos were a great portion size, the flour tortilla was soft and fresh, meat was cooked well, and all of the toppings provided a balanced and complex taco. The food came out fast, and the decor was quirky and inviting. I'll definitely be back for the unique tacos and vibe. Just a disclaimer, this is not a street taco place nor authentic mexican, I think with this in mind they do what they do well. read more

Torchy's music bingo on Tuesday nights is the best "third-space" in KC. Great food, great company!

We went to this place to give it a try. Is honestly not bad! There were a lot of flavors and the tacos and cheese were actually spicier than I expected, but I unfortunately thought it feels more like a fast food. I'm too familiar with the authentic tacos and this tasted like Tex-Mex. Still a great meal, unfortunately not our favorite. Please give it a try!!! read more

Only one left in KC area. Just a word of advice to management. Restaurants that refuse to take phone orders, don't make it. Burger Fi failed too. read more

They have always had pretty good food , no matter where I am. I love the brisket it's my favorite and is like I stated before it's awesome.

Get the app and order ahead so you're not hangry waiting in line! OP Torchy's is online/app order pick up only in drive through as of 1/3/2023. Tacos are good but a bit pricy. Their queso & chips is where it's at. Queso is spicy with the hot sauce on top, and has the option to add chorizo to the dip. Cilantro and some avocado and cojita cheese on top of the queso is delish. Chips are thin and crispy, warm and addictive. App has a free queso+chips birthday reward plus other discounts. read more

Great tacos as always! Plus the friendly service, full bar, and chips & queso. Some very very unique tacos- be daring! You won't be disappointed read more

First time at a Torchy's, had heard a lot about it being great so we were excited to try it out. Though to be honest the 3 is because they had crushed ice and coke products. It was the biggest plus for us. Why would you even read more at this point. Though on the other hand if you aren't looking for authentic Mexican street tacos then you might actually like it. A big variety to choose from so maybe we just ordered wrong. Had the steak taco for one of my selections and it's like another review said. It was dry and kinda like yesterdays or last weeks skirt steak. I couldn't finish it. But the pork was really pretty good. Have I had better street tacos? Yes, by far but I wish I had ordered two of these. Corn tortilla had great flavor, moist pork with great green salsa topping and it was fresh. Sadly the steak taco tasted like we could have made it at home after leftover roast with a flour tortilla. The place has a great ambiance, sports playing on TVs, a bar too so if I liked the food I'd totally come back here but couldn't shake the quick serve feeling so we may not. Though we love good street tacos and so maybe we are high seekers. We are in Olathe suburbs and in or near a target not bad for a quick lunch in between games or something. The cost was legit too. They also cater so that might be a good deal for a soccer mom trying to feed the kiddos. We may or may not try again. read more
