Torchy's Tacos

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 out of 5 stars Tried out Torchy’s Tacos in Abilene, Texas, and the experience was a mix of highs and lows. I went with the shrimp salad bowl — it was decently good, but the shrimp could’ve used a bit more flavor and should’ve been cooked a little longer. Still, it wasn’t bad overall, just didn’t quite hit the mark. The service, however, was great. The to-go staff were quick and attentive — they literally brought the food right to the door as soon as I walked in, which made the whole process fast and convenient. No waiting around in line, which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself was very clean, which always makes a good impression. Plus, the to-go order was packaged really well — everything was secure and tidy, with no mess during the ride home. All in all, it was a decent visit. With a little more attention to the flavor and texture of the shrimp, this could easily bump up to a 4-star experience.

The first time here was good, and I will return. I got the steak fajitas taco, and the wife got the Democrat and the Republican. My steak was very tasty but too tough to be in a taco. I tasted her Democrat and the corn tortillas was awesome and so was the meat until I hit the cilantro.

The food is almost always really good. The service is mostly not but Jessica was great today, usually the people who bring out our food seem unhappy and booths often need washed but tables in the middle are open. People want to sit in a booth— please wipe them down.

Not bad for fast food tacos. Counter service was nice and the establishment was clean. The food arrived quickly and it tasted good. Bartender was accommodating as well.

Love the “Democrat” ❤️ When paying, there’s an option for a tip, which starts off at 18-20% . But I’m not sure for what as one throws their own trash and there is no waiter service.

I’m from Los Angeles. This food is definitely not authentic Mexican food. But that’s okay! It’s like a fancier Del Taco. I usually get the steak burrito with everything and some avocado salsa on the side. The service is good, they ask you if you need anything after dropping your food off but after that they aren’t waiting on tables. Kinda of price for the quality but I eat here if a group of my friends are going.

We gave the Abilene location another try. Sadly, food wise, this location does not compare to similar locations located elsewhere. The hot Diablo queso was the only saving grace for this visit. Today's selection was the Migas and Democrat. IMO, the egg patty was not made to order, frozen, and microwaved just enough to not be frozen. Both tacos made to order were served cold. That made the Barbacoa fat taste congealed. The bartender was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately, we were not drinking alcoholic beverages so our refills were self-service. The location was very clean.

Fun vibe, super fast service! Jessica did an amazing job of explaining and helping me order!
