Airstream salad with salmon

The salad was so flavorful. I look forward to my next visit. The service was great; providing suggestions as this was my 1st visit here. The atmosphere was just right for conversating with my friend over dinner.

Our first visit here and loved it. The staff member assisting us at the counter was very helpful and patient with us. We sat inside, which was nice. We checked out the outdoor area when leaving, and would love to try that next time or sitting at the bar. We had a house rocks margarita & the sucker punch. Both great. We shared a 1/2 queso with chips, which was really tasty. I has the Tipsy Chick taco , which was amazing. When I topped with the bacon jam, it was heaven. My husband had the chicken fajita taco and loved it. Tacos are a good size, so with the queso, we were both full. Can't wait to return. Until then, I'll be dreaming about the Tipsy Chick. Try it out -- you won't regret it!

Torchy's is always a delight and a no-brainer when I need a good taco fix. Staff member who took our order was so patient. She answered all the questions my friends, who follow vegan diet, had and ensured their order was customized to their needs. Food came to our table quickly, accurately and was delicious. Tacos and queso were 5/5 while street corn was 3.5/5 (solely coz they could have easily added a little more of sauce and cheese to it, to create a good balance. I usually never had this complaint before though.) This location has good sized parking lot. I didn't notice patio seating. The area around could use some bright lighting around. It's felt like this location is tucked away and can easily go unnoticed.

Hillbilly queso and all the taco sauces that were not labeled
Brianna W.

Enjoyed my first experience at Torchy's Tacos. I got the naughty Santa (seasonal taco) and the beef fajita. Both were good, I probably would try others before I get the beef fajita again, the meat was really chewy and not the best beef. Was really confused about the sauces provided, they weren't labeled so we didn't know which one went with each taco. They can improve in that. The hillbilly queso was the star of the night! So good and would go just got that! Service was good for our first time going. We picked up so didn't eat in but the ambiance seemed okay. More causal than I thought.

Ace of spades

You cannot go wrong with Torchy's and this location proved it once again. Had family in town visiting Austin for the very first time so had to take them to Torchy's. Loved the Baja Shrimp, Ace of Spades, Fried Avocada and Brush fire. This location has a full bar so on a hot summer day, nothing can beat tasty tacos and a chilled Margarita. Service was quick.

The tacos are always a hit! I don't think I have ever tried something I have disliked here. The democrat is one of my favorite tacos. The food usually comes out pretty quickly as well which is nice. There is plenty of seating and I have always been able to find a table.

Queso and passion fruit swirl margarita!  Celebrating a big milestone.
Winter S.

Celebrated a loan forgiveness letter here at my neighborhood Torchy's Tacos the other day. I ordered their taco of the month, one with salmon. This taco was a delightful combination of fresh and vibrant flavors. The soft corn tortilla had a great texture, and the pickled onions added a nice tang, easily my favorite part of the toppings. The salmon was well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the creamy avocado slice. A well-balanced and satisfying taco! I love how each Torchy's has a unique decorative theme, but doesn't fall under the category of cluttered.

Chicken Salad
Erin Y.

Came here for a quick bite after golfing and it definitely did the trick. If you're looking for a good taco or salad with quick service I'd highly recommend. It's a casual spot, the food is good but average. Would suggest to stop by if you want something quick but wouldn't go out of my way to try!

Custom breakfast, taco potato, bacon, and egg

Definitely not the place for a good breakfast taco. I ordered potato, bacon and egg. The egg was overdone and scorched. The bacon was chopped up in the little pieces that look like they have been deep fried and the potatoes were tater tots.

The mirrors were fun with red interior.
Bryan D.

I loved this location. We walked in on our way to a UT McCombs event. The people were super friendly. We ordered the Baja shrimp taco and Tipsy Chick. The Baja Shrimp was fantastic. With the lime squeezed over the taco, the savory, perfectly prepared shrimp, sauce and tortilla were a beautiful explosion of flavors. We ordered queso also. It was hardy and flavorful. We probably won't have the Tipsy Chick again. It was okay, but there are better options. This will be one of our stops when we head down to Austin. So much fun and delicious!

So got a steak taco, barbacoa taco and a chicken quesadilla. The staff was extremely nice. I explained I couldn't have any cross contamination with pork she made sure the kitchen knew, which was greatly appreciated. So the barbacoa was ok, steak was very good and the chicken in the quesadilla was probably my least favorite only because I'm not sure if it's meant to be grilled, fried or simmered. But the chicken seemed like it was boiled then put in the quesadilla and fried on the flat top which would have been fine but the chicken seemed quite dry. Maybe I came in at a bad time not sure because when I had it at the truck I was dreaming about it for weeks so maybe it was just not my day but over all it wasn't bad and the 3 star is more because my expectations were set based on the other location. I am definitely going to be back to chase that first time flavor again but this time it just missed the mark unfortunately.

Velvet Taco in Round Rock just put a little joy in my lunch break. I ordered through Uber Eats…read morebecause I was starving and didn't have a second to leave the office. I tried the Rotisserie Chicken Bowl for the first time, and baby... this bowl was GIVING. Layers of flavor, fresh ingredients, creamy avocado notes, charred tomato goodness -- it all came together like a tiny choir of angels. And then the queso blanco arrived -- for FREE, might I add -- with those blue corn chips that were crispy, salty, and everything I needed in that moment. The queso was so good it almost stole the spotlight from the bowl. The portion was generous too; I couldn't finish it all and saved it for the next day. And don't laugh, but it tasted even better after it sat overnight. The flavors said, "Let us settle and bless you properly." Would I get this again? Yes, ma'am. Velvet Taco went straight on my "dependable lunch time heroes" list. If you're hungry, busy, and craving something that hits the spot, this is it.

By far the worst velvet taco location and experience I've ever had. Nobody there to take our order…read morefor a bit despite no other diners and plenty of staff. Food took over 10 Minutes but arrived mostly cold. The flour tortillas were cold and stale. Some of the meats were cold inside. Very disappointing for the price. Then the water broke halfway through the meal so we could not use the restroom and orders shut down. Doubt we will be back to this location.

Seat yourself - nothing fancy. The vibe here is local Mexican restaurant. The server was nice but became more engaged when I spoke Spanish to her. She greeted us with chips and two warm bowls of charro beans, which were absolutely delicious. My husband had a Cuban-style torta which was huge and he inhaled. It's not a Cubano - it's a traditional torta with ham and cheese added. He had fajita steak in his and said it was phenomenal. Honestly we could have split this and both been full. I have the taquitos plate. I went with chicken breast and al pastor (2 of each). Came with optional cilantro and onions (don't skip) and grilled onions/pepper plus a side. I couldn't finish it. The chicken was soooo good - very flavorful and not dry, some of the best chicken breast I've had in a while. The Al pastor was good too, but the chicken was exceptional, which I never thought I'd prefer! Under $30 with drinks and tip, this was very very good. The chicken soup others were enjoying also looked stellar - nobody was looking up from their bowl. Great little find. Will definitely be back!

I'm miss my San Diego breakfast burritos! I can't drive and eat a "breakfast taco"! So, I asked my server, Karen if they could make me something to-go that wasn't on menu.... THEY MADE IT! " My favorite breakfast, a burrito with chorizo, egg, cheese and potato and I got it at 2pm since they serve breakfast ALL DAY! There is a slight variation to their "cacajuetes" salsa. It was good but, I think the other location uses more pepitas and maybe a touch of sugar and salt? The place is super clean and the chips are definitely made in house, not sure what the other reviewers were taking about. Maybe they came when there was an off day? I think the complaints other reviewers have left is due to not understanding the cultural difference. The kind folks that work here, some don't speak English so maybe it was a communication break down. There's a lot of flavor! This is definitely NOT Tex-Mex! Thank God for that! Oddly, they did serve me "queso" which I don't care for but, there was really good.

It's more of an outdoor, picnic-style setup that honestly feels like you're at a family barbecue, which made the experience even better. The food was excellent. The birria and barbacoa were rich, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell the meat is cooked the traditional way. They also offer traditional cuts like cabeza and lengua. I tried them even though they're not really my personal preference, but I appreciated that they offer those authentic options. What really stood out was the hospitality. The gentleman working there was awesome. He showed us the barbecue pit and even gave me a taste of fresh lamb barbacoa straight from the pit, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. At the end they were already cleaning up and closing, but I asked for a jamaica and he still brought it over and didn't even charge me for it. Great food, authentic cooking, and genuinely friendly people. It felt more like a family cookout than a restaurant, and I'd definitely come back.
