    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Good size portions for single tacos. A couple vegetarian options. Cool that it has a bar too. Mediocre though. But would try again.

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

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.

I feel like thats a rubios or mc Donald's vibe. Ceviche should be like $11, $14 wasn't worth it. Vegetable taco should be cheaper than all the tacos and it was just sweet potato inside. The tacos are good but they're not what I was expecting. This is more of a fast food style taco. The whole restaurant reminds me of Rubios. The only things we didn't like were the chips and the rice and beans were not good at all, not even Mexican. But like I said the food is good with nice flavors but for a $5 taco I expected plates and table service. No one wants to stand up to order a marg and then order another one after, they'll prob just order 1 marg and go somewhere else when they're done eating, it's not smart. It's not relaxing to eat here after work. We were all fighting for the tables and it's not a vibe. Not enough inside seats and tons of outdoor seats. I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
