Torchy's Tacos

We have been to this place a couple of times and it was amazing. Then someone decided to take away the republican taco which had the jalapeno sausage!! That was the best!! The green chile queso is awesome too. The last time we went we ordered some shrimp taco that was featured and we weren’t a fan. I don’t think we will be returning here soon unless they bring back the sausage!

Highlands Ranch Torchy’s, we love ya but things have been off between us. Ordered a bean, cheese and potato taco because I am an adult and I do what I want. Boy was I surprised when I peeled back that foil and sitting there looking sad, a tater tot tacos instead. lol I still ate it because tots. Online order had it all, bean cheese, Crispy taters, however, the receipt taped to the bag just said crispy tots. Either the online ordering system is messed up or…… we are having a falling out. One more things, no bacon jam for the tipsy chick. This has happened time and time again. And the fish tacos was nothing but fish. Someone forgot the fixings. 3 stars for food because its good but usually missing something important. 5 stars for service because we always get take out, but everyone is super friendly. 3 starts for atmosphere because we eat at our house and there are these cats and dog trying to steal our food EVERY TIME. They are cute though. I have entered five pieces of photo evidence.

We come here all the time and love their food, however I specifically asked for the Churros to not be over done for this order on 04/20/2025 as the last few times we’ve had churros, they have been overdone, hard and inedible. We received overdone, hard and inedible churros again… we’re very disappointed as we were unable to eat them.

Ordered the democrat and the steak fajitas tacos and the green chile queso. Pretty good for a fast casual restaurant and a ton of food for the price! Really liked the democrat and how tender the meat was. The queso is my favorite with the spiciness and a little bit of guac mixed in. The service was extremely slow though. The cashier was helping another person find their order but didn't ask for coverage and the other cashier didn't bother taking our order even after waving at her to take ours. The check out process took over 10 minutes (to me, for a fast casual place, is a little long). To receive our food, it took a normal amount of time. Will try this place again by ordering online.

The food was good and that wasn’t the problem with a 3 star but this place was extremely dirty. Every table had crumbs or trash on it, cashiers should learn to wipe down while waiting on customers to walk in. I had to ask for a tag to wipe my own table down before the cashier wiped it down otherwise I would’ve had to eat on a dirty table like others who came in after me did. Cleanliness is apart of business I wished they realized this.

Torchy's Tacos. I've driven past these locations for years but I've never tried them. I thought the concept is one that has been overdone by so many for years. A quick order Taco stand with a bar. Easy enough. However I was not at all impressed by the food, especially the 'Damn Good' tacos. The concepts are there but left me wanting so much more and frankly, unsatisfied. I had the Brushfire and the Democrat. I'll admit, the Brushfire wasn't too bad but I think the mango is what made it honestly. The rest felt bland and tasteless. The Democrat was even worse. Unflavored, greasy meat. A street taco with none of the street. The hot sauce given felt the same. Just hot with zero flavor. The only thing that had some semblance of taste was the 'Damn Good's Tots. But I suppose it's not hard to slap some potatoes in oil and smother them in nacho cheese sauce, bacon and green chilies. I can't say I'd go back. But I appreciate their attempt at some form of Tex Mex from what seems like an over reaching franchise. Thankfully the Denver Gold I had from Denver Beer Co. saved the day.

My kids ordered the street corn and only after we paid were we told they were out so we got something else and they didn't like it. The food was just ok. They gave us a coupon for a free taco next time so that helps.

Many thanks to Rachel and the entire team. We came with a whole group of nearly 30 people and they went out of their way to accommodate us. From planning to execution they made sure we had everything we needed. Food and service were great, as always.

5 stars simply for their frozen machine not being broken in the summer time! It was really nice to finally get a frozen swirl margarita at this distant Torchy's location! I went to the Torchy's in my neighborhood last night and the frozen machine was sadly still broken. But this swirl margarita is my favorite so I was so pleasantly surprised to see it literally across the parking lot from my original destination in the same shopping center - Hashtag Highlands Ranch! So I had to stop in for a frozen swirl! This Torchy's seemed really huge inside! There was a big horseshoe bar and there were nice suburbia couples surrounding me and my friend. The bartender was super friendly as were the people around us. It was a fun and social neighborhood place! A place where you could drink to those who just started the first day of their job and those who are still job-free - simultaneously! Great place to stop in for a fun drink and a taco while running around Highlands Ranch!

Love this place. I go to often for my own good! Get trailer park trashy. You will not regret it!

Logan at the bar was great! We discussed "what's the difference between a taco and a burrito"? It's not size (though tacos are generally smaller). It's not the grain used to make them (corn or flour is fine!) It's not that it's fried (see "street tacos"). No, the difference is that each bite is layered and different in a taco. A burrito tends to be homogenous with a couple of simple ingredients. Torchy's tacos have progressive flavors and textures and acidity and spice. Every bit is different and that makes a great taco. E.g. the barbacoa (so tender and the right level of spice. The fried avocado taco was different, but I probably would skip it. And the guacamole and queso was well crafted and had a nice level of heat. And the chips are light and crispy but not crumbly. Excellent!

So yummy!! Definitely recommend this place! One of the employees even gave us free chips & queso to try & it was sooo good!

It took 40 minutes to get our food, the chips were inedible, no one works at the counter, it's all just kiosks and people can't figure out how to use them and there's no one there to assist. Broken business model! Follow up: the link to your review is un-clickable. When I type it in manually on your website, there's no way to submit the comment more details below. I absolutely LOVE your food but I've not had good luck with the process. The Kiosk's are a nice idea but you still need at least one cashier to assist or answer questions for those patrons who struggle. Also, there needs to be a photo of everything! How else can one decide what all the different kinds of salsa etc are? It makes me really uncomfortable to be asked to leave a tip at checkout BEFORE I get my food. Especially when it took over 30 minutes to get my two tacos. The restaurant was busy on Sunday but the seats were only half full. It should not take that long! Since there is no one working the counter, I had to wander around for 5 minutes until I finally found someone. The chips we paid for were terrible, (like plastic) and the cookie was dried out and stale. The salsa we got was a total mystery and too spicy to eat due to no explanation or photo of what we would get. I always order the same two tacos and it should not be so complicated to put in an order. Summary: It's inappropriate to ask for a tip at a pre-pay register restaurant, if you're going to do kiosk purchasing, make it more efficient and have support staff there because everyone was struggling with it. There was no opportunity to address this as there was no visible staff, if you run it like a vending machine, don't ask for tips or expect repeat customers. I love your food. I wish it wasn't being ruined by the experience. Thank you.

Delicious tacos! Friendly staff. Cool design. I definitely recommend this place. It was not too busy when we visited.

Went to Torchy's twice for takeout while I was in Denver and I fell in love the tacos and fajitas were so darn good lol. 1st day I had Steak Fajitas and Baja Shrimp Taco. Took a bite and looked at my fiancé he just smiled no words needed. The steak fajita was so juicy and flavorful no sauce was even needed. The Baja Shrimp Taco was just as delicious but I did add the sauce but was not needed. Second time I decided to try the Chicken Fajitas and a Sangria Swirl and omg Torchy's didn't disappoint once again. Service was great and quick both times even though it was just takeout. The location that we ate from was inside a shopping plaza. The vibe was nice it was given me a retro type look. All in all I would most definitely return back to Torchy's.

Ok moved over here 6 months ago and Roomate said not good. Well I need to find new Roomate cause her tastebuds suck! Food was great, I was really surprised. Cheese dip is the best, chipolete, Qdoba horrible compared to The torch! Service quick and easy Ambiance is as good no complaints! If anyone looking for a Roomate with horrible tastebuds reach out!

I have been told many times to check out this place. I have been a few times now and have tried different things each time. They have a taco of the month that changes every month. It's always fun to see what the new taco is. Overall, the place is clean, the staff are very nice, and their new rewards system is great. I have gotten free chips, cheese, and tacos already from being a rewards member. The only complaint I have is that when you order food to go, the portions seem to be smaller than if you order in. I would highly recommend eating there if you can. They also serve breakfast too. Their breakfast burrito is so good that I would recommend it. My favorite thing on the menu is the crossroads with the bourbon bacon sweet sauce. It doesn't come with that sauce originally, so you have to ask for it. Also, don't forget to order their famous green chili cheese dip...it's addicting. I always order the half order, and it's plenty of cheese to share. Can't wait to go back soon and try the new taco of the month coming out.

Another time at Torchy's and another good experience. Food as always 5/5. Hot and damn delicious tacos, sensational guac, and the best queso! (Get it Hillbilly style!!!) One thing keeping this from a 5 star review is that the take out always takes longer than the quoted time and the parking lot is such a hassle (shared with a handful of other businesses) Still a huge fan and regular of Torchy's though and can't get enough of that queso!!

Nice service. Good selection. Great food. Margaritas a bit pricey but tasty. Love the sangria swirls. Great queso and thanks for a $1 off tacos now for Happy Hour.

Best queso ever! Make sure to get it hillbilly (add that chorizo and be extra happy) Everyone is friendly and service is fast. Every location has its own fun vibe.

Torchy's Tacos is a great Tex-Mex version of tacos. This was one of the first places I tried when moving here and it has become one of my favorites very fast. They have so many great options but my favorites are the migas (breakfast tacos), the trailer park (fried chicken taco), and the fried avocado taco. I have tried almost all of the regular tacos on the menu and they all have unique and great flavors so you can't go wrong. They also do a taco of the month which is a fun way to keep the menu slightly different every month. They do have a secret menu as well that has some great taco options if you do get bored of the regular menu. During the weekends they have specials on appetizers and drinks. They also have some really good deserts like churros and cookie bites. The service at this torchy's is always outstanding. Everyone is super friendly, kind, and helpful. The restaurant is kept very clean and has a very welcoming and fun atmosphere. On one side of the restaurant it is a bar area with 2 tvs that usually show sports then on the other it is like a normal restaurant set up. This location gets very busy but does have a great online ordering/phone order pickups so you don't have to wait in the line. I love torchy's and would definitely recommend checking it out if you have never been to one or if you are looking for good Tex-Mex food.

Queso was all curdled and wasn't very good. This happens three different times. We did go in late but it was same as before.

Torchy's forgot an item and so I called to complain and spoke with the manager Genevieve. She went beyond the expected to make it right and ensure we stay customers. Doesn't happen at every place. We appreciated the gesture and will probably be more frequent customers now.

We had six different tacos from this place and they were all amazing. The grilled shrimp taco is super spicy, so keep that in mind. The fried chicken tacos were delicious. The salsa is amazing. My only complaint was that I asked for no avocado due to a food allergy and one of my tacos came with avocado on it so I wasn't able to try it but all in all, I would whole heartedly recommend this place.

This is nothing like your parents' Torchys. It's a retrograde take on Taco Bell food - with equally inspired service. The chips are fried in soybean oli. Don't mention that on the menu. That's why you get sick when you may, parchance eat here. Contrary to what is stated on the menu, it's a damn good...hot mess. Does not actually appear to be a "scratch kitchen," contrary to what the manager says. I don't see a meat smoker or anything approximating it. Just how do they smoke meat? One wonders. Some observations: Queso: worse than Rotel and Velveeta Tipsy Chick: How about putting less on this bad boy Salmon fish taco: Who was asking for this? I guess they're trying to go public and stuff. The food quality and service attest to this... I would avoid at all costs.

Picked up some food for a client meeting on cinco de mayo. I arrive righted when they opened and was able to order almost immediately. The menu is small but, lots of varieties of tacos. The gal at the counter was very welcoming and helped me place my order. In a few short minutes (roughly 15), my order was all bagged up and I was good to go. Good flavors, would suggest checking it out... and maybe dining in for the whole experience.

Wish I could rate 0 stars. :45 wait after ordering then cold food. Too bad. I used to love Torchy's. Maybe it's just the Highlands Ranch location.

Decided to stop by this location after work. Fun fact, I've never been inside of Torchys before. I have had some takeout and it was amazing. Plenty of parking in the lot with a variety of different restaurants in the area. The ambiance of this establishment is very decorative. Good vibes inside with fun music playing. Equipped with a patio for some enjoyable sunsets. Good place for a margarita. When making my purchase, I was helped by one of the managers Anthony. He quite possibly had one of the best initial greetings for a business in 2022. I inquired about the food items and he immediately had his favorite choices of tacos and queso. The Democrat with corn tortillas and the Beef Fajita on flour. Make sure to get the lime with the democrat. Along with the queso and chips. And a sprite to wash it down. The food was excellent. The customer service from Anthony was exceptional. There is a difference between the employees whom care and the ones whom don't. You only get one first impression and this one was one to remember. The tacos are sold individually. I'm filled up with my order. My favorite taco of the two was the Democrat. The meat melted with each bite. Nice touch with my name on the receipt as well. Thanks for everything Torchys. I look forward to my next visit.

Ugh. Really bad experience here. 1st time, didn't really know how it worked. Stood at the front waiting for someone to seat me, greet me, really anyone that could give me the low down. Staff just standing behind the counter, saw me come in and nothing. Grabbed a menu and sat down and nothing.... They don't do table service, I had no idea. After all this I was skeptical. The food, another ugh. Menu is a bit juvenile, seems like it was a left over from the 90's, not a large selection with a bunch of scary sounding tacos. Ordered a simple burrito bowl, thinking they can't mess this up. Wrong again! Cold, chewy, basically two pieces of actual steak, no flavoring, no seasoning, and the smallest bowl I've ever seen. Didn't even get a drink and my tab was more than $15. Total waste of time and money. This is Colorado, there are so many great tacos in this state - don't waste your time and money here. They really should just torch torchy's.

Love Torchy's tacos, have a great menu with different breakfast and regular tacos. We love their fried chicken tacos, highly recommend getting a variety of items though and coming hungry!

This is a follow up. After the wife complained we got a $15 gift card. Because she loved it so much in Austin, I had to give it a second try. Sunday at 1400 is much better than Thursday at 1800. The food was fast, the service was actually friendly this time. So, for the sake of making amends I'm changing my rating to 4/5: would eat here, but it's hit or miss.

Torchy's lived up to their reputation for great tasting food. It was my first visit. I chose the burrito with barbacoa. All the ingredients were wrapped in a big tortilla so it was possible to pick it up and eat it. It had just enough spice to make it enjoyable and the flavors mixed well. The burrito was the kind of size where you finish half and then ask yourself, "should I take the rest home..?" But because it's so fresh and good you keep nibbling away at it until the next thing you know, it's all gone. :-) The place was clean and there were people walking around clearing away the baskets once you finished. This was nice because if you want to sit and chat with your friends after your meal, you're not staring at the remnants of your meal in front of you while you socialize. One thing to know about tipping. When you pay for your meal you can add a tip. That money is put into a pot and shared with all the people who help during a particular shift.

The family and I stopped in for a quick bite after my son's game and WOW! The staff was very kind and attentive. The food came out quickly and tasty. WILL BE COMING HERE AGAIN!!!!!!

I love this place and the food is awesome. The bartender Doug was the best! Service was incredible and I will be back to come to the bar for sure! Make sure to get the hillbilly queso!

A regular spot, consistently great. Have had everything. Really like the queso and chips. Guac is good too.

The tacos are good, a little on the expensive side. You get a buzzer that's supposed to go off when your food is ready but ours was brought to our table which was nice.

Torchy's has so many good taco's...but February is when the Scallywag is back. Torchy's does a "taco of the month", and most of them are pretty good...but the Scallywag is one of the best taco's that you'll ever eat. I don't know why it is only available one month per year. But get there soon to enjoy this goodness. My wife had two Scallywags, and loved them both (as expected), I opted for a Scallywag, and an Ace of Spades. What is the "Ace of Spades", you ask? There is nothing on the menu that is called anything remotely like that. Torchy's has a secret menu. The Ace of Spades is delicious, but it might be TOO MUCH...it does take a few Tums afterwards to get the stomach calmed down.

Not the best, but not the worst! We came in around 1:30, a perfect time to stop by when the lunch rush has calmed down. We ordered and as soon as we sat down we got our food. The service was so fast, it was hard to believe! I chose to try the taco of the month (Midnight Cowboy) and I definitely LOVED this one. I also tried the Democrat, I'm a sucker for barbacoa. I asked for a flour tortilla on this one, but I think corn was the way to go. The flavor in the barbacoa was okay! There was some flavor, but it didn't satisfy my cravings :( My friend enjoyed the Trailer Park and mentioned that she was a little bit disappointed as the chicken didn't seem like it was very fresh. Nonetheless, the food was good, service was great, and the ambiance was laid back and a great spot for lunch!

The service was great but the tacos were not what I expected. Ordered 2 chorizo/egg/cheese tacos which is what I got but not only was the cheese not melted, it was cold like it just came out of the fridge and the tortilla was the same. Very disappointed.

Was visiting a pal in the area and wanted a quick taco, I've had Torchy's many times before and the food is solid. Walked into this location, just a couple barflies with no employees in sight. No communication, no nothing. Waited a couple minutes for anyone ti acknowledge me, went to the restroom and came back out, same deal. Seemed like between the negligence and general atmosphere, the food wasn't gonna be fresh or good either so I walked. As I was leaving a gal/employee came out of the smoking patio but still didn't bother to even speak to me. I swear I'm not a food nazi but I worked in the industry for 15 years - this was garbage. Torchy's is fine - avoid this location.

Delicious quick-serve tacos with a fun ambiance. Great outdoor seating g if you want something more quiet. Staff has been friendly and helpful. Love the chips and guac or queso. Baja Shrimp Taco, Trailer Park Taco, and the Mango Jerk Taco are all delicious!

I've been going to Torchy's since 2010 when I first discovered the food truck down on South First in Austin, so I'm probably biased. That said, their tacos still deliver even at locations like this one all the way up in Denver. For anyone new to Torchy's, ask for the secret menu to unlock access to a set of tacos with twice the flavor.

Logan, our server, really made the experience fun. He deserves a raise! The new items on the menu are worth trying as well. The cougar was excellent!

We Waited 49 minutes for to go order. Poorly run and poorly managed store where no one knew what was going on. Sad

Have always loved this place and the bartenders have a lot to do with that... Emma, Jane, Dave (way back in the day), Antonio Abigail is right up there too - best bar staff ever.

The food was amazing always! Taylor was super nice and a great bartender, can't wait to be back and have her again! Thanks Taylor(:

We love Torchy's! The tacos are affordable and delicious! We come here weekly. Pro tip: Sit at the bar and the bartenders let you order and they deliver the food.

My family and I love this place, we have been to the restaurant so many times now. The chill vibe and great food keeps us coming back. When I say great food it deserves it. Friendly staff and great service. We are satisfied every time.

Great tacos, great staff, great sides. I understand you are testing a new menu that eliminates the street corn. Please bring the street corn back with the new menu. We have been going to an alternative Torchy's recently that still has the street corn on their menu and no longer go to the closer restaurant that is testing the new menu without street corn. Please bring back the street corn!

We were pretty surprised at the level of service here -- even on a busy night. Dave was running around making sure everyone was good, and with a happy friendly attitude. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

Finally returned here to check it out again. The positive vibe was sort of there but not as it was before. Maybe the folks working that day have some COVID blues. The cashier was more matter-of-fact, will you just tell me what you want to order. There was a jovial guy there so it wasn't only the blues. The tacos just seemed okay. Maybe I am spoiled by another restaurant's experience and this one just didn't match or come close to that one. Maybe they changed their food ingredients quality? Not sure, but it certainly was not the same for me as 2 years ago when I wrote my first review of it.

The tacos are decent but the wait for service, especially online-for-pickup orders, is atrocious. This is clearly a location that is overwhelmed by the success that will likely sink it. A promised online pickup time of 7:10pm, for example, came and went. It was 8 pm before it was ready. Also, always always always open up the bags before you leave and double check the order. They get orders wrong three out of four times.

Staff is super friendly; we got recommendations from the cashier and the bartender and food runner were helpful and polite. The food is decent. My husband and I shared some chips and queso and each got a Baja Shrimp and Trailer Park taco, and he got an additional Crossroads. The tacos were A-okay; we actually really liked the Baja Shrimp but felt the others weren't as great. Queso and chips are good, but the queso definitely has a kick so keep that in mind if you don't like heat. I like the atmosphere here and would like to come back for a happy hour or to watch some football with tacos and margaritas. I did feel the price was high for what you get and wish they offered some specials on food. It was about $40 for two of us to eat with fountain drinks, no adult bevs. Still overall, good atmosphere, friendly staff, and decent tacos.

Great food! Servers are always so awesome and quick to help! Love stopping in for a quick tequila shot and tacos!

Service was great! Kevin was so helpful and made great margaritas! 10/10 experience. Will definitely be coming back

Amazing !! I work across at the hospital . I went for the 2nd time recently and even better . I tried the pork green chille tacos . No cheese cause I can't have dairy and still delicious!! Fast service even though I went at 12 . Food and service is fabulous. Tacos are stuffed with meat, no cutting corners for sure. I'll be back ! I walked over cause I'm within walking distance. The only down fall is the parking in this shopping center is insane around meal times ! They deff need more parking with all the restaurants around . Just my two cents .

I love this location. It is busy, but the staff is always so friendly. Logan was super busy at the bar, but was very attentive to us and kind! If you're wanting yummy and filling tacos with good margs, this is your spot!
