We like Torchys. It is sort of you get what you see and what you pay for. This store is just a simple little cafe that is visited mainly by those of us in the neighborhood. Not fancy nut... Consistent read more

Breakfast Tacos 3 Customer Service 2 Ambiance 2 The only quality remains hidden in the kitchen. I was referred to this place by several people, which was the only reason I patiently waited for a table and ultimately walk myself to the bar with my 76yr mother who was uncomfortable in her stool. New Management should focus quality vs quantity. This place has a lot of square footage, yet I've been to smaller businesses that mirror its food quality with Top notch staff service! read more

After coming this fine establishment for maybe 1 1/2 months from sept 16th to oct 19th i have saw the most horrible thing with the staff, everyone at torchy's working hard except the managers, i saw a few things from ladies and guys walking around with the food in their hands, in and out of the kitchen, they were busting their butts working hard very kind to everyone even when it was backed out the door but then i saw the managers that run the late shift, they did absolutely nothing but talk to coworkers and stand around! very horrible people and you could visibly see the people that walk out with the trays mentally and emotionally drained, but the morning managers were all in it together, and i mean it was never a dull moment with them and working hard especially the older ladies with grey hair. The heavy set hispanic guy really just stood there and looked at people and whenever the doors swung open he was still in the same spot talking to other coworkers, the bar people were perfect with every order and getting the drinks right and fast and very talkative to the customers, but overall i give the place 7.5/10 very loud and fast working for the people that take the food out, night time mangers were very slow and seemed easily aggravated, the bar people were perfect and great job to the cooks for getting food out fast.!!!!! read more

Just got the nachos as takeout. I thought I would give Torchys another shot at the nachos but a different location. Everything is great BUT what is up with so few chips for all the toppings again!! You would think I could get at least what I would get the amount of chips given when ordering just the queso. But no so much less chips and yet as part of my nachos I have a full container of queso and many more toppings. Is torchy's really saving that much $$$ by skimping out on the chips!! Do better. Maybe include a small bag of chips as well? read more

Torchy's Tacos - Not the same as a bag of chips - Tex-Mex Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

The lady just threw my tacos at me so now I'm genuinely scared to go back (I'm a regular). I get the same tacos every Wednesday and never cause an issue so idk maybe she was having a bad day but it was really rude... nothing was said to me she just threw my tacos at me pretty aggressively and took the pager. It was a significant event as everyone in the establishment turned and looked at her like I did because it caught us all off guard. It ruined my day a little bit read more

Sometime the devil makes you do it. Whether looking for a fun bar where you can get beer and margaritas or the monthly taco special with queso and guac. I always enjoy Torchys. Booths and a separate bar are at this location. Bar staff is a bit friendlier than the regular food section. read more

Good tacos, friendly staff, comfortable interior. The woman at the counter was very helpful in explaining to us the menu and offering recommendations. She took our order quickly and efficiently. The food came out fast, and it was delicious. The four tacos and guacamole we ordered were all great. Honestly, the only comment I can make is that the guacamole proved to be more spicy than our tacos (despite having the hottest sauce, the tacos packed very light heat if any - might have been a fluke in our order). Definitely a place worth checking out (or coming back to)! read more

Casual taco chain in the Woodlands located in a strip mall. Quick, friendly service. Download app for reward points. Happy hour $1 off tacos from 3pm-6pm. I would describe the food as a hipsters take on Mexican food. Ordering a taco "trashy style" replaces the lettuce with their queso. This is a good place if you are looking for a quick bite. Recommend the queso and carnitas taco. read more

Good decorations but I couldn't see much after I had 5 gallons of soda. 5 stars, definitely would do again.

Torchy's Tacos is signature Texas fare, so when in Texas, we had to give them a try. We came here for brunch. They had lots of scrumptious tacos on the menu, but I was in the mood for a light meal, so I ordered only one taco (though I wish I was hungrier for more). One taco was plenty satisfying for me. They also have breakfast tacos which come with a hearty serving of eggs in each. I ordered the Baja shrimp tacos (fried shrimp, cabbage slaw, pickled jalapeños and onions, cotija cheese, and cilantro). The cashier was super helpful with explaining the menu- you get to choose the tortilla (flour or corn) and can switch up the sauces and/or get them on the side. The Baja shrimp tacos came with a "chipotle sauce" on the side (actually chipotle ranch). I chose the flour tortilla and swapped out the chipotle sauce for avocado sauce and tomatillo. I also got to try the roja and chipotle ranch. My favorites were the avocado sauce followed by the roja. They also have extra lime wedges at the drink station, a must-have for my tacos. Our orders were brought out quickly. The taco was good overall, but I do prefer a crunchy, heartier batter on the fried shrimp; the batter on the Baja shrimp tacos was very light and delicate. After ordering, we saw everyone else snacking on chips and queso - it looked so tasty, we just had to have some! Do yourself a favor and order the chips and queso - you won't regret it! Free refill on chips. Pro tip: squeeze lime on the chips. Overall, Torchy's Tacos is a solid taco chain. Prices were reasonable, service was welcoming, and I would come back for more. read more

My daughter ordered Torchy's via Door Dash a few days ago. She ordered a burrito, which was a decent size and she said it was pretty good, I ordered the Trailer Park Hillbilly style off the "secret menu". The price ended up being $8.20 because I added crispy potatoes. What I got didn't even fill the bowl. There was 3/4 of a chicken strip, maybe 2 tator tot style potatoes and very little else. Very disappointed. Please see photos read more

Advertised free queso with a membership if you signed up on 9/20. Then said they wouldn't honor it same day. I asked for Manger to help manually adjust so I could sign up. Completely dismissed me and walked away. Have been a loyal customer and this was a horrible experience. The new ordering apps are also a terrible experience cs a human. Super disappointed. read more

Torchys is sort of a Texas staple. You know what you're getting and it's going to be good cause sometimes you just want to be basic and have good tacos. While eating here you'll think to yourself that maybe there's other good taco spots out there and yes there are but you're also at one so‍ read more

Are at the one just off Gossling today. Had the pulled pork tacos and small Queso. The tacos were packed with pulled pork. The toppings were definitely a compliment. The Queso was Amazing. Did not get the Diablo sauce on the Queso. That's a but too hot for me. Service was excellent. My only suggestion is they missed the "clean table" part. The table was sticky. Does not and will not keep me from going back for more. read more

The food was fantastic I will come back again with my family. The service was great people and clean environment.

Food is good but service when sitting in the bar area is slow, especially on Sundays during lunch hours. They know how busy they are every Sunday so hire another bar tender. They could use the help. I've walked out several times due to no attention. read more

My family loves this place! The workers are great and the manager is the best! They always support our community going above and beyond, not to mention the food is fantastic! Best queso ever!! read more

This was my first time at this establishment. One of my daughters had told me that the tacos were really good. I sat at the bar and my service was wonderful. I received a small dish of queso as it was my first visit there. I ordered two tacos, but I have to say when they came out they were barely warm. I was so hungry. I went ahead and ate them, but I was pretty disappointed because my daughter really loves the place. I may go back and try it again and hope that the tacos come out the way they should. read more

Showed up at 8:30. Was told the kitchen was already closed even though the posted hours show closing at 9 PM. Disappointing. read more

Apparently, this place is considered to be a staple in Texas so bar in all of our long waits in our previous choices this became a go-to spot for a party of eight. They got a whole Lotta tacos with a lot of strange names so I try to keep up and follow but I will have to say in the end, they actually turned out to be pretty good. Most importantly they have a full bar!!! When in line you can grab a menu to gauge but it is very difficult to narrow down your choices. For lunch we ordered two kids meals along with some individual tacos called Waffle taco was probably the most interesting of all (aka the Roscoe Taco I believe) which included a waffle, fried egg, fried chicken and a slice of bacon with some syrup. So to try out a bunch of stuff, we got The Wrangler (a breakfast taco with eggs, potatoes, brisket, and cheese), The Democrat (which is beef barbacoa, avocado, cotija cheese, onions, etc...), The Republican (oddly had this jalapeno sausage, cheese, polano sauce and pico), the Alabama shake (catfish and the fixin's), a Trailer Park (fried chicken and the works), Baja Shrimp, some drinks and chips & guac. read more

06/02/2022 I'm in town from Beverly Hills, CA. My moms been in the hospital for over a month. She recently had 4 organs removed and diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I'm also taking care of my grandmother as my mom can't be here. It's been a difficult time for our family. I grew up in the woodlands, left when I was 17. I'm a Founder/CEO now and 31 years old. I've been in town taking care of my mom and grandmother. My moms still in the hospital as I write this review. I was excited to destress and try a new restaurant as this one replaced the old Mexican restaurant from my childhood. The staff at the registers were nice. I did not realize there was a bar until after I placed my order. I walked to the bar and when I sat down "Morgan" immediately came up to me and asked if I placed a Togo order. I let her know I didn't know there was a bar before I placed my order. Morgan then asks me to not sit at the bar. As you could understand as a first time customer and family stress on top of that I was disappointed to say the least. I'm used to tipping well and being greeted with kindness and respect. I was also planning on ordering more drinks... Morgan stated she needed to keep seats open for other customers yet the entire time I was there only 3 people sat at the bar... Her demeanor and reason made absolutely no sense. I also tip bartenders 50%+ and I would have become a regular since the food was good and other staff were nice. Morgan, you have a lot to learn regarding customer service and you shouldn't make assumptions. I'm disappointed with the service from the bar I received today. I hope management reviews this and gives Morgan proper training on customer service. read more

First ever visit after hearing mostly negative word-of-mouth reviews (but this is where friends wanted to meet). Pleasantly surprised to enjoy almost everything about the place. Lots of seating choices, easy counter service process, and helpful staff. The lemonade was really tasty and a nice alternative to a fountain drink. The fried avocado taco was delicious! The Mofaux taco was really disappointing, but will definitely be back. read more

Horrible service. Low quality food,,.it just continues to be worse every time we try to give them a 3rd or 4th chance. Taco Bell at least treats us better and charged less. The quality of the food is about the same. read more

Tacos are really good, the front desk lady seems to be really nice. Kitchen crew is slow as hell though. But I still come here ever weekend!

The food was delicious and the service is excellent. I had the brisket taco and the grilled shrimp taco. Yummy!

The democrat is legit! Tons of meat, perfect amount of diced onions and cheese. The chips were fresh and the queso was awesome

Yummy! I ordered off the secret menu, was delicious! It was a a quick meal so sadly I didn't get pictures but yummy!!

I have been here three times and all three times there Has been hair in my tacos. Third strike I'm not going back. I don't like eating hair.!!! read more

This is probably the CLEANEST Torchys I've EVER been to. Always greeted promptly. I ordered two tacos for myself green chili queso and the lady got 2 Mr. orange. Her salmon pieces were huge!! And they loaded my tacos UP. I mean my tacos were over-flowing which I'm not complaining about. The other locations seem to skimp you. Everything was great. My favorite location. read more

The staff needs improvement!! 25 minutes to get two tacos is a little ridiculous! Torchys in Rockwall tx literally gets them out in 5min even with a full dining room!! Booo!! On y'all!! Pull your heads out!! read more

Solid three stars here. Torchy's Tacos is going to be the hot spot of The Woodlands for some time. A great place for the family. I ordered the Beef Fajitas taco, Shrimp Baja taco, and their Queso cheese dip. Wife ordered a burrito and stole chips and dip off my order. With two waters - out the door w/ tip for about $26 The tacos are good size and they don't go shy on the fillings so in retrospect I could have got by with just one. The burrito was very large ( wife took 1/2 to lunch the next day ) and fill with very good quality fillings. What I really enjoyed was the quality and quantity of the ingredient they used. You just don't find that much anymore. They staff is young and incredibly hard working. For a new restaurant they are well trained. I'm a picky eater so when I ordered Queso w/ no Guacamole in it, taco with no pickled jalapeño , and a different sauce on the taco on a busy night you would figure it would come out wrong. Nope, everything was perfect. Staff, was very efficient for a busy night. One person is busing tables , food is flying out of the kitchens, restaurant is kept clean and everyone around me seemed like they were having a great time. This will be our go to place for dinning out for quite awhile now. Happy dinning to you all. read more

I'm visiting some friends from California and Torchy's came highly recommended (a friend of mine is a regular) and I'm so impressed!! The food was great (DEF get the queso), but the service is what sold me. Our bartender (Josh) was so welcoming and friendly. He recommended the Tokyo Drifter (love this name since it's my fave F&F movie - totally meant to be :P) and he was so attentive! I would come back if I could and I totally understand why my friend's a regular. Really jealous that we don't have this chain in CA :( take advantage of it, folks!! read more

Great ambiance for after work bonding! The food is delicious too! The bartenders were a bit slow (4:5 ), but it allowed for more hangout time! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Posted Corona Virus commitment. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

You can't miss the red pitchforked handles on the door to the entrance or the iconic little devil logo as you pull into the strip mall of the newest counter ordering food chain that just invaded The Woodlands. The long lines have kept me at bay but after the last day of school my child insisted he have a Torchi's Taco because all his friends at school said they have the "best" tacos. So if you have an elementary school kid, a high school kid (this seems to be popular with that crowd) or work nearby with limited choices. This might be a fun alternative. We ordered one beef taco with avocado, diced white onions, and cilantro on a flour tortilla (you can choose corn). The fried chicken taco...this is Texas so something's gotta be fried or BBQd. Then we chose a shrimp taco with loads of toppings and crispy fried shrimp. They deliver it all to your table along with salsas. You pick your table, hang up your order number and pour your own fountain drink (which are fun flavors like dark cherry). CONS: You can't pick your own salsa's from a salsa bar-which was okay for me, since the salsa's brought out were very tasty. If you want more tacos...or chips...or a brownie for dessert...I guess you gotta stand back in the long xxx line? No bueno. We could have used a little basket of chips and "Queso" to snack on before the tacos came, so I recommend you order a basket because although our tacos were satisfying, they weren't filling. Prices for three tacos and two sodas was $17. Service was friendly and they ask "how do you want your tacos?" "Trashy or Trailerpark?" Since i wasn't familiar with the Torchy lingo I had to ask for an explanation. And since the restaurant was super loud and crowded I didn't hear the complete answer. Something to do with toppings...I think. So get acclimated by googling the lingo if you're an "outlander" like me because this Texas chain has got a hold on many locals as a favorite taco bar. As for me. I was turned off by some hillbilly mom who let her kid sit at the bar...literally (which back home in AZ is illegal) and the tacos were okay but nothing outstanding stood out on this visit. Anyway, this place has its own secret menu so look into it for more choices. It's a fun popular spot for kids but I miss Rubio's. A GREAT fish taco bar out West. read more

One star for the poor attitude by the blonde (green), curly haired guy taking our order ( rainbow torch t shirt and light blue flowered mask) What a lousy attitude to go through life with. Trust me... you taking our order was as painful for us as it obviously was for you. Why not get a job where it doesn't involve the public? That way your self importance attitude won't have to come in contact with plebes like me who are coming in and supporting a place of business that financially supports you. They should put you on trash duty because your attitude is garbage. read more

A few of my friends dig Torchy's and so I end up here every once in a while.. And every time I tell myself it will be better than the last visit... The atmosphere is very casual - you order upfront at the register, get your own drinks, and find your own seat. Richard S. review says that everyone is complaining about the service or the wait time, but I've never had anything other than friendly service and we only have to wait when they are busy. It is the food! The breakfast tacos are always rubbery and dull, and the dinner tacos are average with some packed so much nonsense flavor combos that it is overwhelming. Their queso; however, being rich and creamy, is always the highlight of the visit. read more

Recommended by my brother for breakfast while I was in town visiting. My mind was blown. Left here feeling full as can be and also knowing for sure every time I come to Texas I must come to Torchy's! Service was friendly the woman at checkout was patient and helpful when questions were asked. I had a frozen strawberry margarita and we shared the queso and chips. The Migas breakfast tacos were out of this world, I requested them trashy and I believe that means added queso on top! Mmm mmm mm.. So sad nothing like this place in Cali read more
