    June 2025 Breakfast burrito with a couple of bites gone
    Susan C.

    17 Oct 2025 We went again right after they opened after a doctor appointment in the area. Pleasant cashier. Really nice. This time I asked if they have coffee. They do!! And it's quite good I should have asked for the brand. I had the burrito again and the husband had the Wrangler. The playlist was also very good. Ethereal-sounding music. The Weekend singing 'Secrets'. A great rendition. I asked if they key off of Spotify. The barkeep said she believes it is a Torchy's playlist. A great visit today. Go there.

    Shrimp taco and I believe birria taco

    Wow...another great Yelp find. I was in the mood for shrimp tacos and used that for the search and Torchy's popped up. I mean...come on...the name at least sparks interest. Anyways we go and they have a nice selection of tacos and you can mix-&-match. Service was friendly and great. The place was nice and they have a bar if you choose a cold beverage for this Texas heat. Would recommend!!!

    Stopped by for lunch after a walk around McAllister Park. These tacos are amazing! I had the trailer Park and the Baja Shrimp tacos ( both recommended by our server). Both were very good. I have to say the favorite part of the meal was the chips and Green Chile queso....wow! I could have eaten the whole thing myself. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating inside. The servers were friendly and helpful. There are plenty of choices from the menu. Parking is easy out front. This is a good choice for lunch or dinner.

    Every time I come to this location I have to use a kiosk. The kiosk process is cumbersome & time consuming. Then, after I use the kiosk I have to find someone to get my drink cup. There's even a printed sign posted below the kiosk asking customers not to go behind the counter to get a drink or drink cup. The person who answered my last review claimed the kiosks are for overflow & not used normally. This is not my experience. If your restaurant is going to be self-service, then allow customers to grab a cup or drink without waiting even longer to find the ever-missing employee behind the counter.

    If you haven't been to Torchy's Tacos, you're seriously missing out! Torchy's is the perfect spot for a casual meal with amazing flavors The Crossroads taco is a smoky, flavorful dream with tender brisket, while the Mr. Orange is a fresh and zesty delight with blackened salmon that just melts in your mouth. Both are a must try. I think one taco is more than enough for one person. I wouldn't do more than 2. The servings are generous And let's not forget the cherry on top--free queso and chips with a military ID! Their queso is insanely good--and they put guacamole in the middle

    The vegan FoSho taco was excellent! The corn tortilla is hearty and flavorful, the beans and rice have a lot of flavor, a good helping of avocado, fajita veggies, corn, and crispy onions--I opted to swap the Diablo sauce for poblano ranch (which is not vegan). I always love the chips & queso, and the sangrias during happy hour really hit the spot. I've always had great service at Torchy's. And it's always been clean and tidy.

    I visited this Torchy's five times while on my trip last month. The queso is amazing - something I recommend to all. Didn't realize active duty gets a free queso! The service is always quick and hard to go wrong with any of the tacos.

    First time trying Tex Mex, I was looking forward to it but after the food I had, I will sadly not be returning here. As a 100% Mexican I take my tacos very seriously. My wife and I ordered 2 Tacos each, rice and beans, chips and salsa and a Mexican Coke. My first Taco was the "Naughty Santa" chorizo and shrimp with condiments on it. At first I thought it sounded amazing but I was wrong. The chorizo was too salty and the shrimp was very bland. The 2 do not compliment each other. My 2nd Taco was the "The Tipsy Chick" marinated chicken and grilled chicken with and other condiments on it. It was really sweet. A gross kind of sweet. The Rice and Beans were not good. Just no flavor at all and dry. The chips and Salsa: the salsa had good flavor but no heat. The chips were ok but a bit grainy. Wasted potential. My wife's Tacos were just ok too. The service was great but the food was not. Why is there no flavor in the meat? I understand Tex Mex is different than Mexican food but they should have some standards. Food was bland and very underwhelming, too many things on the tacos made the flavors not mix well and ended up being just a mess in your mouth. I haven't given up on TexMex just yet, I'll give it another chance elsewhere. The coke was the only good part. Food 2/5 Salsa 1/5 Service 4/5

    Baja Shrimp
    anubia r.

    The food was not good. The shrimp wasn't fresh and the flavor combination was not good. The queso was sour and tasted very odd. The street corn also had a distinctive sour taste I did not enjoy it. The drinks were good but the food was just not it.

    Are the corn tortillas naturally gluten-free?

    Does this torchys have halal options?

    I did not see Halal option, but they do have vegetarian taco.

    Has anyone used their catering?

    Sorry Lisa , we never have but I can tell you their tacos are amazing & so is their queso

    Do u receive plenty on plate?

    The tacos are a little larger than average, but pricier than most.

    Priced per taco. No rice or beans with order.

That's exactly the energy at Los Weyes de la Asada. From the second you walk up, it feels alive. Not in a forced way, more like you've been there before, even if it's your first time. The kind of place where your stress, your diet, even your cruda takes a backseat. Now the food. No overthinking needed here. Everything coming out of that truck is a straight up pow pow of flavor. The carne is cooked just right, juicy with that perfect char, and the corn tortillas are legit, soft but with enough structure to hold everything together. I ordered the Mamón and the Chingón, and honestly, both lived up to the names. No misses. And the agua fresca de fresa? That sealed it. They serve it in a little bolsita, which somehow makes it hit even better. Simple, nostalgic, and just cool. It's all tucked inside El Camino, which adds to the whole vibe, string lights, people hanging out, that easygoing outdoor feel where you lose track of time a little.

    Over-hyped, over-priced, unfriendly staff, watery drinks and terrible guacamole…read more My wife and I had a very bad experience while dining in this restaurant during the Fiesta San Antonio. Boudros was highly recommended by friends, and was the first restaurant on our list to dine in during our recent visit. We arrived at the restaurant on a Thursday around 7:45 pm and were told by a young Hostess that no walk-ins were allowed until after 9 pm. We decided to modify our itinerary and instead had dinner at a different restaurant on the riverwalk, and made a reservation for Boudros online for the following evening. When we arrived the following evening for our reservation at 7.30 pm, we were escorted to a small table in the bar that was next to the entrance to a small room. The area was noisy with a lot of foot traffic. We asked for a table in a quieter room and were moved to a room in the back of the restaurant where it was easier to have a conversation. A few minutes later our waiter, Stephen, approached the table. We asked him for drink recommendations and among others he recommended the "Prickly Pear Margarita". I ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita, and we also ordered the tableside Guacamole. The restaurant was busy, but there were several empty tables in our dining area. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the waiter brought our drinks. The Prickly Pear Margarita I received was not even close to the description on the menu. The ice was melted and it tasted like Fruit Punch with alcohol in a martini glass. A few minutes later, Stephen approached our table with the Guacamole cart. There were pieces of onions and cilantro all over the dirty table cloth on the cart. He prepared the Guacamole in front of us and it looked very unappealing. We watched as he added an excessive amount of diced onions and cilantro. Being a connoisseur of Guacamole, and making my own for most of my life, it was obvious that Stephen had not been trained well in how to make Guacamole. After he mixed the sliced avocados, the diced onions and cilantro, he wiped the edge of the stone tray with a dirty cloth. The onions and cilantro over powered the taste of the avocado. Later that evening, Stephen brought a very fancy drink for a customer sitting next to us. The drink looked like frozen lime juice with line of frozen strawberry and a nice scoop of frozen lime juice on top. I asked Stephen for the name of that drink, and he replied that it was the same drink that I had ordered. I asked why it looked so different and he muttered something about it being the end of the batch and then said "I'm not the Bartender". He blamed the Bartender for making the terrible drink, and made no effort to correct the problem. Later Stephen returned with our dinner, and as he approached our table, he ordered my wife to "move your glass!" Needless to say she was quite taken aback at his abrupt manner with no please or thank-you. In all the staff did not have a very good demeanor and were very sullen and grumpy. Even asking for directions to the bathroom barely elicited a glance and the needed information. Maybe the staff was overworked because of the number of visitors for the Fiesta, but the terrible, over-priced food, did not make up for the unhappy staff, and we do not plan to return.
