Love me some Torchy's!! I've been enjoying their Tacos and Queso since they first opened in Austin, Texas more than 10 years ago. When I moved here a few years back I was so excited to see they're here in the PHX area...dined last night again, with a friend who's new to Torchy's, and she loved it too. The Austin legend continues...Torchy's yeah! read more

Torchy's at Prasada was an awesome surprise. I've driven past it plenty of times and never noticed it, but I'm glad we finally stopped in. Our whole family met up there, and from the start it was a hit. The queso and chips were amazing -- easily one of the best starters we've had in a while. I ordered the asada tacos, and even though the meat wasn't the traditional grilled style I'm used to, the medium‑rare cut was incredibly juicy and flavorful. My buddy, who only eats chicken, said his chicken bowl was the best he's ever had, and the glaze on the chicken really stood out. We had a party of twelve, and every single person enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere. The staff was outstanding -- attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I especially want to give a huge shout‑out to the manager, Kristen. She was working just as hard as the rest of the team and made sure every table had what they needed. That kind of leadership shows. Great food, great service, great experience. We'll definitely be back. read more

So the rice tasted stale. Turns out it's old, not made fresh or served fresh. That's why it tasted stale. The Trailer Park Chicken was recommended by the cashier. That was a mistake. It's a breaded chicken strip. Probably frozen. The brisket was ok, but it only came with Avocado and a lime wedge. So none of the tacos were good. And to top off this bad visit, no salsa bar. I had to ask for salsa to put on my taco, and they brought me the smallest serving of salsa. They have other tacos to try, so maybe I'll come back and try something else, because I was NOT impressed. read more

If you're looking for mid tacos that are ridiculously overpriced, Torchy's Tacos is the place for you! Purchased 4 tacos and only one was decent. Maybe we came on an off day. I wouldn't recommend lukewarm tacos that are soggy and look like they were made by a 5 year old. Also had a horrible stomachache afterwards. SMH... read more

I enjoy their tacos at this Camelback location. Pillowy soft flour tortillas, stuffed with blackened salmon, black beans and corn relish, cotija cheese, and a line wedge with avocado sauce. Side of guacamole and chips to top it off. Friendly, fast and good, what more can you ask for. This place is always busy when I am here. Inside bar if you want to enjoy some drinks. Casual sit down, great for families. read more

If you're looking for a quick, solid, taco spot, Torchy's will do the trick. Our food came out quickly despite us having a large group. This order at the counter restaurant is quite large with open seating. While the tacos were quite good and decently filling, they were pretty steep at $6-$12 per taco. In my opinion, there are many taco spots in Phoenix with similar/better quality at a lower price point. The queso did stand out though and was very delicious! read more

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. read more

This trip not as good as the first! Food is delicious.. I must say...But this Taco Tuesday the lady at the counter was miserable. I mean... miserable. Even after leaving her a %20 tip....nothing. No response. Next time.... I'll use the kiosk and leave no tip. And I will return for the food. read more

Torchys was absolutely fire!! I was shocked by how good the food was. The trio was the perfect starter. I never expected the queso to so delicious. We literally got more to take home for later! All of the food was so good and fresh. I will be 100% coming back! Also- the restaurant is super clean and plenty of room! The staff is also amazing and so friendly! read more

I recently organized a catered lunch for 150 at our office. Heather assisted from planning the menu, delivery and day of the event. The food was excellent and our team was very happy. I will be using them again and highly recommend the catering service! read more

I ordered the nachos to go and when I got my order I saw it was a few containers and the chips separately. My original thought was this is good so I won't have soggy chips. When I got home and opened the bags all I had was chips, cheese and brisket. No other toppings. The picture on the board had sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes but I did not get that. I was highly disappointed especially for the price. $20 for chips and cheese and a small dab of brisket. While I was waiting for my food another customer was arguing with the employees at the counter about her order and I should have taken that as a warning and looked closer at my order before leaving. read more

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. read more

Tacos are good. They're not great. The guacamole was mid at best. This is not a (Mexican food) taco shop, This is a trendy fusion spin on a taco shop. Beer on tap was cool tho. read more

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 read more

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. read more

This hurts. But it's not me, it's you Torchys. As a loyal fan from airstream days in Austin to today, I have been a fierce advocate and ardent supporter...but today you finally broke me. Catering order had 1/2 the food it has historically included and things that were previously included were now à la carte. Almost $300 for what barely fed 10 people is embarrassing. Quality and quantity were both off. Honestly, giving 2 star solely out of loyalty and minor hope it can recover. I was so excited when you came to AZ but you have sequentially gotten worse and I fear appear to be in death spiral. Hope I'm wrong. read more

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!! read more

The customer service was great. Oscar helped me and my family receive a very wonderful meal. I ordered on Uber eats and it was all messed up so I called and spoke with Oscar and he fixed the problem right away and made sure that everything was great. Nice hot and fresh. Thank you very much. read more

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 read more

Torchy's is the 5 Guys for tacos. basicly an upscale fast food joint specializing in tacos. This was my first time to Torchy's; I had heard good things about the place. The food was fine, and quite tasty. But seven bucks for a taco on a 6 inch tortilla? Just like 5-Guys, you pay a lot more for a good meal than you would expect. For $7 per taco, I would expect a place with service, not a kiosk screen and zero help from the staff. After I got my food, I was looking for hot sauce for my taco. There was no salsa bar, but after asking a delivery person, they did have to-go salsa containers, and they gave me some. So, if you like tasty overpriced tacos from a fast food joint with no service and no salsa bar. Torchy's is for you. It really was not for me, though. read more

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 read more

First off, I chose this location because wise the one on Shea is closed. The ease of ordering on the touch screen is nice depending on your patience. The place is fairly clean with no noticeable trash piling up. I ordered the queso with chips, brush fire taco and a side of elote. Everything was good until I wanted more chips... They seemed somewhat busy so asked a server there if I could have a sec as he was bringing back an order. I wait five minutes as he pops in and out. No follow up. I get up while he's working the bar and ask if I need to order more chips or if they can bring some out. He says he'll bring me out some once he makes some drinks. Fine. I wait another several minutes and watch and he makes the drinks, bounces in and out and even makes eye contact. Doesn't register. I finally get up and a nice lady comes out and finally takes care of the chips and even throws in some salsa. She was a sweetheart. Food is great. Experience horrible and will most likely to return. Thank you Torchys for the good food but lack of training with staff will potentially lead this location to the same fate as the Shea location. read more

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. read more

Portions are not worth the $$$! Will never be back to this poor Portions size for the money!

Delicious food !!! The brushfire taco is my favorite ! Service was really good, great environment,highly recommend.

I'm always looking for great tacos and so we tried this place. The names are funky but the tacos are flipping tasty. We sat at the bar and our bartender was great and helpful. Two tacos is a lot of taco for reference. I'll be going back and trying more of the tacos for sure. The place is bright and red. read more

I went for lunch today at Torchys, not my first lunch here and will not be my last. I had Brushfire, Mr. Orange and Green Chile pork and I cannot recommend them more energetically than I am. Please understand, if you're looking for a good carne asada street taco, you may not find it here. If you're looking for art on a tortilla, visit Torchys. PS consider trying the queso, it's amazing. read more

I ordered on the kiosk and my order came out fast. I didn't talk to any employees so I can't say much about that. I thought the food was good, not my favorite but it's good read more

Torchy's Tacos has a large in door area that features a bar along with its variety of tacos. The tacos are anywhere from $5-$7 each and some are even breakfast themed. I tried a few of their tacos plus a steak burrito. This cost me $25.09. There's a good amount of food so I was able to take some of it home but none of it left a lasting impression on me. read more

Great food.. music sports on.. bar.. cant complain! Ill be back..Service buy young guy was top notch

The tacos were amazing and the price is very reasonable. You need 2-3 tacos to be full. Just one is not enough. There is ample parking as it is inside of a strip mall with other stores. When you walk in you place your order on the screen. They let you customize your taco as much or as little as you would like. They also have alcohol, soda and tea options. Churros and chocolate chip cookies were the dessert options. Once you place your order you are given an order number and an employee brings it out to you whether its for dine in or take out. I drove all the way from Tucson for these tacos and it was worth it. My only complaint is that i would like some more simple options. Many of the tacos had a lot of spicy stuff and interesting toppings. I personally loved the democrat and the brushfire. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Crossroads taco - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Let start of by saying the taco was good. I stoped in cause I was craving carne asada tacos, they didn't have it but I got the beef fajita taco with corn tortilla, it was good. Not the standard taco but it was good. Service was quick and the place is clean and pretty nice in general. My thing is $8 (added tip) for a singular taco did not hit me until I was about to have my first bite that did I just spend $8 on one singular taco??? Lmao at least it was good and I get full pretty easily but damn that's steep, with no drink or chips added. Anyways it's definitely a place to stop at during your lunch break with your coworkers if y'all make like $100k a year lol. read more

The flame's still burning at Torch's Tacos. When this restaurant first opened a few years back, I visited during their "Grand Opening ". The place was packed and had barely any available tables. Today, it's not quite as chaotic, but still has a strong following. After waiting in line to place my order, I was asked to move to a specific register. A few moments later, the employee asked me to move to another. It wasn't a big deal, but came with no explanation and was puzzling. The dining room is fairly spacious and is kept neat and clean. I was barely done eating one item before an employee was there to clear the table. Not a bad thing, I guess. I ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Taco which arrived in less than five minutes. The flour tortilla was warm and fluffy. The fillings were just as expected and the taco was even topped with a bit of melted cheese. It's served with a side of salsa, though I skipped it. I also ordered a side of Street Corn. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and firmness of the kernels. A+ ! While I didn't drink on this visit, they do have a bar which seems like a nice place to catch up with friends, watch a game and sip a cold one. Overall, I'm happy with my most recent visit and can see why Torchy's Tacos still has loyal clientele. read more

I lived in Austin for a few years and frequented Torchy's Tacos for their queso alone. I had no idea that they had expanded to other states, and was SO excited to see them on a recent trip to Phoenix. It's a fast casual setting here. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. They have a bar where you can get counter service, but we just decided to sit at one of the tables instead of at the bar. I got their fried avocado taco and their queso and both were just as delicious as I remembered them. The queso definitely has a kick to it, and it's so delicious. Drinks were good, I got their frozen margarita and it was really yummy. We felt a little rushed by the person who was taking our order the evening we came, but other than that the service was good. She also tried to take our plates before we were done with them, and I even checked the time to make sure we weren't there past closing, which we weren't at all - it was only 7:30pm and they closed at 10pm. The manager stopped by our table to check on us at one point and she was lovely. The food and drinks both came out really quickly. I'll come back every time for their queso alone! read more

Torchy's Tacos is my very favorite taco restaurant. The food is so good! My favorite tacos are the Republican, Mr. Orange, and the Hogfather. Excellent elote. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Angel and Oscar for always taking such great care of us! read more

This place is horrible. Almost all of the food was inedible. I can't remember the last time I had an entire order that was so bad. Crossroads was the only thing that we were able to eat. It was odd having pickled jalapeños from a can. Nothing seems fresh. The Steak Fajita was cold, the cheese solid and there was so much grease it soaked through the tortilla, see pictures. It also had a strong taste like cinnamon which is odd for fajitas. The Trailer Park was something you'd get at KFC. One small fried piece of chicken with lettuce and cheese. Spit this one out. The Democrat was extremely salty and not edible. The avocado was brown. The Queso had a really bad flavor, not edible. $75 worth of food in the trash. For 8 tacos and Queso, the price is crazy. This is not Mexican food, it's not TexMex, I'm not even sure what it is. read more
