First thing I noticed was how nice the staff was. They greeted me on my way in and were more than happy to help with any questions I had. They were also quick to help people place orders at the register when the kiosk got a little backed up. However, I do recommend using the kiosk because they have a "secret menu" that isn't written on the normal menu. Plus you get to see pictures of every single item which helps if you don't know what you want. While ordering I couldn't help but think the tacos were overpriced (at least $6 for a single taco), but when the tacos came out it validated the price a little. Each taco was piled up with filling and they are a little larger than typical street tacos. Both of the tacos I had were delicious. The meat tasted very well seasoned and the toppings were pretty fresh. read more

We decided to give Torchy's one more try, dining in, since our delivery orders have been epically bad. Well, today's lunch was a complete fail. Ordered a bowl and a salad with grilled shrimp, chips and guacamole and small tots. The salad was just not good, the shrimp were barely cooked (see photo) and loaded with so many onions and just a weird combo of flavors. The tots were so salty, the bacon tasted off (sort of metallic?) and we didn't even finish the half portion! The chips were extremely salty as well. Honestly, the best part of the lunch was my drink and I made that! I mixed horchata with the cold brew and it was good. A really crummy lunch that set us back FIFTY DOLLARS. Crazy expensive for lunch, but especially for a lousy meal. Plenty of parking, clean ladies room and well lit restaurant. We are done with Torchy's, just not worth the money. read more

We paid nearly $100 for all this food and we only got 7 tacos, 2 kids quesadillas and hillbilly queso plus two kids drinks and two adults drink. Personally that's a bit more expensive than I ever remember torchys to be. The Baja shrimp was good but didn't seem grilled as it had hardly any flavor. Maybe cooked shrimp like you get out of the bag at the store but it was okay. Brushfire taco was on point I appreciate the hot sauce on the side because whee it was hot. Honestly it was the only thing I enjoyed. My chicken fajita taco was just alright, I picked off most of the toppings and only ate the meat... The hillbilly queso was decent. My husband loves torchys but idk it's one place I could do without. read more

I enjoy their tacos and salsa. And really enjoy the fajitas and the Jerk Bonfire bowls. But let me tell you, that Salmon Bonfire bowl is a rip off! They give you a child's size portion of salmon. That is not gone work for my husband at all. When I brought it to the managers attention, he did resolve the situation but we know not to order the salmon going forward. I do appreciate how flavorful the Jerk bowl is. They season the chicken well without making it too spicy. Good place for lunch read more

The restaurant is clean and nice. Good atmosphere. The staff were friendly. The food was good and flavorful. One of my pet peeves with food is when it's served and it's not all piping hot (unless it's supposed to be served chilled). The refried beans, tots, and corn were served hot. However, the soft taco shells were not warmed. They were cool to the touch, and it negatively impacted the experience. Additionally, the prices were very high in relation to the quantity of food. Typically, at these prices, a taco order (as example) would include 3 tacos, maybe two, and possibly a side. But here there was only one. Also, the sides were very expensive. Everything was à la carte. It was just my wife and I. We ordered 2 Baja shrimp tacos, a fried avocado taco, tots, refried beans, and corn (regular size, but it was a very small portion). With a couple of waters and a 20% tip, it came to just under $49. I'm guessing, but this restaurant strikes me as being a former food truck converted into a sit-down restaurant. As such, I'm sure the cost of leasing such a large place could make the business model a tough one, leading to inflated prices. So the concepts of the food are creative and tasty, with a slight need for improvement. But, the overall cost for what you get is not a good value proposition in my estimation. For this reason, we likely won't return. We frequent a number of Mexican restaurants that I prefer. But, if you want to try something interesting and creative, and cost isn't a concern, it might be worth a visit. read more

Very friendly service and clean location. The menu is very simple to understand and nothing too fancy. It's like having a food truck menu but just in a brick and mortar location. The location is very easy to locate with ample parking but I can see it being more of an issue on a very busy day. We decided to order a few things to just get a taste of what Torchy's has to offer. All items came out hot and pretty quick. For the price, I would have expected a little bit more food - but then again it's "street" tacos so eh. The food itself was fresh and ok. Nothing truly amazing or mind blowing for me. Would we come back? Maybe. I can't say it's one of those that I would be running back to if I wanted true Mexican food. read more

I remember when they first opened in Wake Forest, so good and the protein portion sizes were so much more. While the taste is still good, portion size not so much. I understand times are hard for these restaurants, i stopped going to Chipotle because of this same thing. So disheartening! And i may stay away from the bowls moving forward. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Would rather have more chicken than rice - Tacos Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I stopped in last night and ordered a Tokyo Drifter and queso. While the queso was good, the taco was not. The meat on the taco was dried out. To be honest, it looked like the taco had been sitting under a heat lamp for a day. Just not good. Also, this place has gone downhill since it opened. It was good when it opened, but now the restaurant is dirty and not kept up well. There was hardly anyone there when I visited at 8pm, and the tables and floors were really dirty. read more

I really wanted to like Torchys after trying it for the 2nd time and this visit proved I'm not sold on Torchys. I ordered two brushfire tacos and expected it to be really really good. The heat was a bit overwhelming and the fruit was too plentiful. It offered no balance in the experience. I took the fruit and forced a whole taco the other half of the second taco was trashed. Now, this may be the place to go if you're into Tex-Mex or creative tacos on a flour tortilla. This just wasn't for me. I will say they have great churros- hands down! I will stick to them. read more

Food was very good. Waiter was very good. Staff was very nice. Cool little vibe TexMex fun little spin on tacos definitely worth a shot.

Torchy's was a good tacos with a twist spot. The trailer park was the best with the democrat next. The Baja shrimp was kind of disappointing. They are made fresh and you can tell from the amount of time it takes for them to come out. Overall decent experience. read more

Visited newest outlet for Torchy's in Wake Forest during their soft opening. It's a square shop, line to the right, order and pay at the back, the team brings the food to the table. It was busy, busy, busy on this night. Beware the small parking lot - we had to circle a few times, as all spots were full. The standard Torchy's menu - Damn Good Tacos. Tried the Democrat and the Crossroads. Both are similar - one with barbacoa, one with beef brisket. Two are enough to fill you up. Meat is juicy, tender and flavorful, veggies and cheese fresh. All you could want in a taco. Chips and queso are delicious - warm chips, a little kick to the queso. Also tried the Airstream salad. Nice sized portion, all the veggies crisp and fresh. The pistachios make the meal - a nice salty/earthy taste to complement the chipotle sauce and champagne vinaigrette. There are a LOT of taco places, between brick & mortar and food trucks. Torchy's not the absolute best tacos I've ever had, but definitely up there. read more

This place has gone down hill in a major way. When they first opened it was awesome. Quick takeout and the tacos were delicious. That is NOT the case now. The last two times we got takeout it was ice cold. They don't put it in the takeout cabinets you have to wait on line and ask and the restaurant is a mess. Dirty and garbage everywhere. Feels like it lacks proper management. Lots of local taco spots around that are much better read more

The greatest Taco spot in Rockville shopping surround area. Fresh ingredients and grilled proteins with an excellent atmosphere. Perfect for a quick re-fuel before sight-seeing/shopping within the area. Excellent customer service too and be careful ordering drinks, be sure to have a designated driver. read more

Food is great. But they need better management. Not very inviting or happy looking employees. They all look high af. Standing around talking to each other looking very unprofessional. Got the distinct impression I wasn't welcome and they did not want to be there. need to hire some of those employees from Chick-fil-A.. Wont be surprised if they're out of business in a few months. It's a shame because they have a great product. read more

A chain that began in Texas, this one in Wake Forest is second one in NC. Located across the street from Wegman's on 98. Order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. I like that they have several vegetarian options and ordered the avocado taco. It was good but could have used a bit more avocado. We came at an off hour to avoid long waits and only waited about 10 min for our order. read more

This is one of the rare occasions I am not in alignment with the current rating of a restaurant. Everyone else seems to love it but I was underwhelmed after all the positive things I saw on Nextdoor and read on yelp. $7+ for one taco also gave me really high expectations. I ordered Togo online. Picked up my order and got home only then to realize (my fault for not checking the bag) I was missing an entire order. I ordered as a group and shared the link so others in my household could pick what they want without relaying the info to me. Apparently when you do that, it must create separate orders in the kitchen. When your food is ready, they place them in cubbies by name. So when I arrived, I went to the cubby associated with my name, grabbed my bag and left. Apparently I needed to also check the other cubbies to get the other orders even though this was all one order. Who knew? Went back to get my son's food, manager was extremely apologetic and cooked us fresh tacos. That was nice and I didn't expect it. He also gave us a coupon for free Queso when we return. I'd say the tacos were good and very flavorful but I wouldn't say worth all the hype. 5 stars from me is tasting something I don't think I could make at home, blew me away. I gave 3 stars because it was good and service was nice and friendly. But make your own opinion and feel free to disagree with me! We all have different tastes! Definitely worth trying! read more

Wow.... YUM!!! First time here but we will definitely be back. Everything is delicious. We had a variety of things like damn good tots, chips with red salsa but option of green too. Also tried Trailer Park taco, chicken fajita taco too. Good vibe and great service on top of it. read more

The food is always so good. The atmosphere at the restaurant is very pleasant, and the employees are hardworking and kind.

I wish I had pics to share, but I don't. This was my second time getting food from here. I love the highly recommended queso & chips! I Aldo love the grilled chichen tacos with their corn & black bean salsa! When I went yesterday, it was just opening, so they weren't busy, but even in passing I know they are typically busy, nonstop because their food tastes so good & the customer service is good too. read more

Chicken fajita taco was good according to my daughter. Hog father was terrible. Blackened salmon taco was overcooked i.e. dried. Chips were a mix of stale and fresh. Salsa was not traditional and too much tomatillo. Who came up with the names of these tacos? My wife ordered 3 tacos and chips. There was another customer in front of us. It took more than 30 minutes to get our order. The customer in front of us also went up to the counter and asked for his order. These are tacos and chips. You do not take 30 minutes especially if the place is not busy. Service wise, this place is an F. For the quality of food and the wait time. This is another one and done. On top of this, my wife felt she had to tip because the tip option pop up. Personally I do not tip as they are not a full service restaurant. read more

The food is okay but pretty expensive for the quality of the food. Foodland quality with Harris Teter cost if you feel me. 2 people and $45.00 for lunch so it's a one and done for me y'all! read more

Food is definitely good, but it's pricey. The wait time for food after ordering is insane! I'm talking 35+ min ticket time, which is long even for a full service restaurant. If they could speed it up, I'd say it's worth the money. read more

Just ate at this Torchys. It's unfortunate what has happened to the quality of their food. Every person in my party threw their food away before I could finish eating mine, and I am glad they did. It saved me from making unfortunate discoveries like they did, which included a hair, a bone chunk, and undercooked chicken. Would have been better off going to Taco Bell. read more

I liked the taco that I had here but it was much more expensive than I feel they should be. The atmosphere & tables were nice and the staff was friendly. Would I suggest this place to anyone else...maybe. There are many other restaurants to get tacos but Torchy's does have a great variety to choose from, if you're willing to pay the high price for them. read more

Went there for the first time late last week. While I had visions of tasty crunchy tacos, I was surprised to find Torchy's does not serve tacos. I found this strange considering 'tacos' is in their name? I went ahead and ordered the enchiladas (that they list as tacos?). The counter person who took my order was very nice and helpful in recommending some besides traditional tacos. I was given a device that lights up and vibrates once my order was prepared. Curiously you don't go up and get your food, they bring it to you. While you'd think that's a good thing, it forced the food runners to go to every table to find the correct customer. I would think the old 'flag with a number' would work better and reduce confusion. The food was fair but not worth the price IMO. If Torchy's ever brings in good crunchy tacos I'll give it another shot, but not before. read more

Prices for what you get are ridiculous. I don't mind paying $6 for a good taco, but this was not a good taco! Ordered "fajita chicken tacos". They were so small! Lol! Like smaller than a twinkie! Had 2-1/2 strips of chicken, 3 small pieces of bell pepper, cheese wasn't even remotely melted. Also ordered a beef burrito bowl which was 90% refried beans & rice. Definitely won't be returning. read more

It's legit, happy they are now open in Wake Forest! Our to-go order was ready on time, and it's unique food that's very tasty. The monthly special, an Indian flavored taco is VERY tasty. Like the flavors of a good Indian restaurant wrapped in a tortilla. Green chili pork, more traditional, but also very good. The fried chicken taco is unique and very tasty. Even the pinto beans and rice were extra flavorful compared with what most places offer. Although we took the food to-go, they also have nice indoor seating and a nice patio for when you want to sit outside. read more
