    Torchy's is reliable no matter the location. Ordering is fast w their touch screens but I appreciate that they still have someone to take orders as well. We went on a saturday afternoon for lunch, it was actually quite empty for lunch so our food came out quickly. Tried the jerk chicken torched bowl, it was very filling but I prefer the tacos. Was worth a shot. The interior was clean, just the standard torchy's location.

    From my visit 2/27/25. Carissa took order. She was helpful and explanatory. It was my first time and so she came from behind counter and pointed things out on the board for me and gave good recommendations. Also, Hayden at bar was cool!! Tacos were good .. but nothing spectacular

    The salmon salad.

    We joined some friends her for Taco Tuesday. I've seen it driving down the road, but knew nothing about it. It is an order at the counter place, and the food is really amazing. We were all pleasantly surprised. I had the salmon salad which was $13.85, and we all agreed it was the best deal. I had it the second day for lunch as week. It was huge. My husband had a breakfast taco, because they have breakfast all day, and our friends had a couple of other tacos in the menu. We had a 22 ounce beer and it was normally, $7.15, but was a $1.50 off for happy hour, which is from 3 to 6. One of our friends had the house margarita, and said it was good. We received coupons for a free taco in our next visit and really are looking forward to going back.

    Good food, great flavored tea selection! The margaritas looked good, will try one next time. Tried 2 different tacos and they did not disappoint! Very clean seating area. Great service by everyone we came in contact with.

    Last year when we were in Texas, I had my first experience eating Torchy's Tacos. We loved it and were sad when we left that we didn't think we would ever experience this amazing restaurant chain again. Last week, we were in Phoenix AZ and stumbled across a Torchy's there. It was every bit as good as I remember from eating there in Texas. We started with the queso cheese dip and chips and also the guacamole and chips. I'm not usually a queso person but their queso dip is amazing. The guacamole is delicious as well. I ordered the Baja Shrimp taco in the bowl. I love that they offer that option because I'm not a corn or flour tortilla person. One taco in the bowl was plenty of food for me because I usually overeat the queso dip! My grandkids got the quesadilla kids meal that came with the option of beans and rice or tater tots. It also came with a drink and my grandkids loved that they could get horchata! If you are a tater tot person, definitely get a side order. They are way too good! My husband got the Moontower bowl. It is basically just a well made delicious salad. Our only complaint about Torchy's is if you want a side of salsa for you tacos, you have to ask for it and they bring you a little bit. Otherwise, you need to order the salsa and chips appetizer. I would love to see a Torchy's open in San Diego, but I guess I should be grateful there isn't on because I would be there every week!!

    In May 2025, I tried this location solo and definitely ordered way too much as their menu just sounded too good not to order a few things. I did take leftovers to share at home, so no food was wasted and one dish ordered with intent to have leftovers. Always find these valley locations to have quick service and fairly personable. The lobby is always clean and cozy enough for a dine in meal.

    Called in again! Miss the old joint, but this one's an acceptable option! Used to be by my son's former spot, but this one rocks!

    Let's be honest - no one comes here for the tacos , they come here for the bomb queso . They should rename jt Torchy's Queso . Tacos are maybe 3 stars, queso a solid 5

    Strange experience - we came in for breakfast burritos. I added guac to the order. Midway through the burrito I realized the guac was MIA. I told a worker, who told me they ran out of guac. Strange. After I was through, I realized the burrito didn't have chorizo either? We ate outside and someone was rummaging through the trash while we were eating. A 1 stars experience but 5 star potential

    Went here on Friday for lunch with my husband and enjoyed the food thought it was a bit pricy. Each taco is $5-$7 each. They are pretty big soo I wasn't too bothered. Ordering was a self serve system where there are 2 computers to order from. However, there's soo much to look at and they have pictures of everything on there which is very convenient. A lady did come to the front to start taking orders when the line gained a few people. There's also a bar here which is cool. They sell margaritas, Patron, and other cocktails as well. They have a happy hour but it doesn't seem like a great value for food as it only takes $1 of the already expensive tacos. That's cool if you're there and eating but I wouldn't go out of my way for that happy hour special. The Jamaican jerk taco was really good but needed a good sauce with it. The red sauce they gave is super spicy and lacks any fresh or distinguishable flavor. The other one was good as well but again needed a sauce. I wish they had fresh salsa here, a salsa bar would really up this place. There was some salsa that came with the burrito that was mediocre. The quesadilla, tacos, and burrito was good.

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

The weather was nice enough to enjoy seating outside in the patio area. Selections chosen: -Chips, salsa, and guacamole appetizer to start -shrimp ceviche- mexican wild shrimp, cucumber, cilantro, tomato, avocado with chips. Nice starter. -Fish tacos- beer battered fish, morita crema, cabbage, pickled onion, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed this taco. -Chicken - adobo style with avocado, sour cream and pico de gallo. -Carnitas (pork)- with onion and cilantro -Carne asada (beef) - avocado salsa, onion, cilantro -crispy tacos (with minced shrimp inside and then topped with tomato salsa, pickled onion, avocado and cabbage). I loved the first crispy taco. And then when I had my 2nd crispy taco where it was not enjoyable anymore. I only was able to eat 1/3 of this until I had the most spiciest pepper seed in my mouth that ruined the rest of the experience and had to load with 3 cups of water with watery eyes and burning mouth. I wasn't hungry anymore. A nice way to curb an appetite. -strawberry horchata- yummy - tres leches de coco - something was lacking as it wasn't as tasty as if it was missing an ingredient. I would like to come back to try the crispy tacos but will need to make sure it doesn't have the spiciest seed as I don't believe there was an indication for something super spicy.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away.

It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.
