Torchy's Tacos

The young lady working was great. Very polite and helpful. The establishment is cool and was kept very clean. Very good to walk into for the first time. I was inclined to leave this about my food. It was quick upon ordering relieving the food I should add as well. I got 3 tacos. 1, democrat and this was the best tasting of the three I ordered. It was just not good and bland. 2nd taco was the trailer patk. I got through 2 bites and put it down. Really not good. Last taco is the Baja shrimp and I got grilled shrimp. They tasted like microwaved shrimp partially cooked. This taco was the worst of the three. I got chips and salsa and those were the best part of a very bad meal . Again the establishment and service was and is fantastic. The tacos unfortunately were incredibly bad. Taste, ingredients, presentation was all just not great. I had high hopes and this was my first visit. This will also be my last visit. I wish this place the best and they are going to need it in the kitchen. I tried everything hoping it would get better. I couldn't even finish a single taco.

I got to try a new taco from their special secret menu and it was excellent. I bout hit off my finger eating it. Service was impeccable! Overall perfect experience. Zaleigh was top tier, friendly, suggestive about great menu items which is why I dared try something different. Home run!!! Thanks Zaleigh and the team. Everyone was great.

10/10 for a first time experience! I ordered a trailer taco and a grande burrito and that shit was fire. Definitely would recommend 100 times over Chipotle or any other restaurant for that matter. Thank you Zaleigh! (Friendly cashier who helped me order the food)

The food is amazing, my favorite is the trailer trash tacos, if you order them get them “trashy” and they will put guacamole sauce on them😋. The atmosphere and the energy coming from the staff and the decor says it all. Every time I come here I see the same people being the counter and they are still here because they love their jobs and love to give great service. Employees like Zaleigh and the restaurant of the staff is what makes torches tacos one of the best Mexican restaurants in Lake Charles.

Excellent service and so super friendly and kind. Zaleigh is such a sweety and very very Efficient. Torchys always delivers great service but this is likely the best one I’ve ever visited. Thanks guys!

Ordering with Zaleigh went smoothly, she had a great friendly attitude! Food came out quick and it was delicious. I highly recommend trying the Tipsy bowl, you won’t be disappointed!

We came here on the recommendation of a friend. We were amazed. Great food, Great service. Zaleigh did a great job.

1st meal - Tipsy Chick tacos are DELICIOUS!!!! Best tacos I have eaten in a long time. Street corn is just like in Mexico, very good. 2nd trip - grilled shrimp salad bowl was good except for the shrimp. They were so salty they were were hard to eat, ugh! Big cookie was delicious.

I got a grande burrito and chips and salsa and salsa were great. I thought the grande burrito should've been heated a little more. It was cooled off after like three bites.

My family and I were having a chill day in town and needed something to eat for lunch. We came here to Torchy's and it did not disappoint! The food was cooked well and was very flavorful! Also, our chips and queso tasted delicious! Service was overall efficient and very friendly! The atmosphere was very lively but laid back as well. I recommend Torchy's if you are looking for a quick and tasty meal!

Good tacos. Good Queso some of the best! Taco variety is good. Delivered warm to the table. Sangria was good too. I'd make another trip to Torchy's. Music was a good blend of 80s-90s as well

It was fantastic to find this new Torchy's along our route. We have not had Torchy's since we moved out of Texas. When we pulled up they were closing but the manager opened the doors for us, took our order and fired up the food. Man we all misses Torchy's so much! There needs to be some here in Atlanta!! Atlanta would love Torchy's and it could easily support several locations! The manager made it all possible for us to get some of the food we adore and miss so much. The location is wonderful! Clean, well laid out and and the food was outstanding! Thank you all so much for opening your doors and staying a bit later!!! You have no idea how much my whole family appreciated it!

Trio of dips was pretty good. Just go for the cheese dip. Ordered one of the tacos which was so so. Service was great right up to closing time.

Whewwwww we love us some torch's tacos. Their margaritas are the BEST, like top shelf. My favorite is the baha shrimp tacos and the chicken ones. Don't forget to get the amazing choriqueso, simply delicious lol

The Baja tacos were great along with the rice bowl the only issue I had was the wrangler taco had dry brisket on it that was terrible. Maybe it was day old brisket. Other than that food was good.

When this location opened it was terrible! I was so disappointed bc I love Torchys. Well..... not sure what they did or who they brought in but they've got it down. It's now spot on to the TX locations. Great job!

I've never had Torchy's or knew anything about it. Let's start with the food. The food tastes good, albeit is not going to come close to a meal. $5 tacos are a little overpriced for the portion size. I'm basing this on my experiences eating tacos in Chicago. These portions would be more appetizing at $2.50. The fried cookie dough is a session though. The service was good. I ordered to go and the cashier was very friendly and helpful. One of the servers also checked on my order, which honestly took a little longer than anticipated for two tacos and the fried dough. The setting was visually appealing and I found the location to be convenient. All and all, I would return but I think the prices are a little high.

This location is the worst I've been to. I hate saying that but the food has no flavor. I actually thought I had Covid because I couldn't taste anything. The sauce is the only thing that saved the food and made it edible. The margarita was super bland and had no flavor either. The service was pretty good, I will give them that. I will definitely be skipping this one next time.

I went to Torchy's because of the gluten free menu. It's the same stuff, but on a corn tortilla. Not sure how gluten free that makes it. The food is mediocre at best and extremely pricy for what you get. My lunch was $27 for two tacos, a fountain drink and queso. Just as a comparison, I have been going to a steakhouse near there for dinner each night while I'm in town for work. At the steakhouse, it has been $22 for an 11 oz sirloin, broccoli, and a loaded baked potato with a side of mushrooms. Service was very slow, but friendly. The floor was so greasy, I felt like I was ice skating. That's one of my pet peeves. If the floor is that greasy, how clean is everything else? For all those reasons, I won't be returning to Torchy's.

This is a neat place to meet up with friends to eat tacos. 1st visit I invited my mother-in-law after her eye exam. So non-alcoholic drinks for me. The drink station was full of different flavored beverages. My friend ordered a small queso. It was a unique combo of cheese, chili, and guacamole. Wow, the tacos were spicy. My favorite tacos were the crossroads w/ corn tortilla and Beef Fajita tortilla. I can't stop thinking of these tacos. Also, staff members act unengaged with life and the chips were to too salty.

Torchy's Taco is amazing! Came here during brunch hours, and ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch menu tacos. Ordered a side of chips &salsa (Delicious) and was leased with the outcome of the food. This place is definitely "Tex-Mex" but the quality was great. Tacos are about $4 each, but they are filled and made pretty delicious. This place serves alcohol too, and has a little "sit in" bar. This place can be spent to enjoy with friends or just a solo meal for food.

Good and clean environment. My order ahead food was ready when I arrived. I was helped by Raven and she was very pleasant!

Service was terrible, order process was lacking and the food was overpriced and overrated...never been impressed with this place

Only Torchy's can screw up a taco and not send the drink that I clearly paid for. Dash driver said not her problem, they didn't give it to her, jumped in car and left.

I normally enjoy this location when I go into the store but I need to know who threw together the door dash order around 8pm on June 2, 2024 and not only substituted my hillbilly queso for salsa but made my brushfire taco and crossroads taco into a diy project because they were ready to go. They not only had my dasher waiting almost an hour after I placed the order, they gave me whatever they felt. I understand you're ready to go home and you don't give a damn about other people's food but that was a messed up thing to not only give me the wrong items but completely throw whatever you wanted on my tacos after I paid for this. The next time you're wanting a good queso and taco, I hope you choke on it and think about this order.

The servers are so sweet and attentive. This is purely coming from a native Texan. The tacos are "Ok". Be warned, they're SMALL!!! Big to Texas IMO. Breakfast tacos are "ok". If you add frozen potatoes MEH. The mess of a bean and cheese I got ‍ no cheese btw. NONE. Queso is orange. , chips are not homemade, seem store bought and salty. Ok, won't have me going back to this chain. It's from Austin.. so I kinda get it. San Antonio condemns this chain.

Again. Torchys never disappoints. My two favorite tacos would have to be the "Trashy Taco" and the "tipsy chick" I'm officially obsessed with this place. Ty for the great service and how kind and efficient everyone was!

Nothing special and highly overpriced. Good setting but food wasn't special. Server was not enthused to be working.

Service is fine but the food was so small compared to Texas Torchy's. See $7 salmon taco. Salmon was maybe 1 once, flat as a sushi sashimi piece. Lol.

Ordered the brushfire and fried avocado tacos. Torchys always hits the spot. Avocado is lightly fried and paired well with the beans. The diablo sauce is spicy, but pairs well the mango in the taco. Food came out quickly, loved the corn tortillas.

Everything is always great here!! Drinks and food! Love the ambiance for a nice afternoon!

Sunday I ordered both the Democrat (minus Cilantro) with Avocado Sauce and The Matador (minus Jalapenos) with Chipotle Ranch on flour tortillas as takeout for lunch. Both were tender and super delicious, but I think The Matador had more flavor. I would defnitely eat here again.

Fresh tacos and always fun to visit when in Lake Charles. Love the different styles of sweet tea!

I usually love torchys never had a problem with it. Just went today I'm on a road trip and me and my girl wanted to sit at the bar grab a drink and get tacos. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Girls pants were so tight it looked like she didn't have any on. Everyone just looked sad and depressed. We order our appetizers initially, and it was good. We wait for probably 20-30 min girl never comes back she's just sweeping in the lobby. Another girl comes in the bar we order with her some tacos and two margaritas. We waiting and waiting we don't see her making them she's just doing other things, then our food comes out. I ask her how they are coming along she says oh we are out of sweet and sour. She should have told me that initially, so I tell her I'm gonna cancel them. I tell the manager to cancel them he makes them anyway they were overly sour tasted way worse then my first one. The worst customer service I've had at a restaurant never coming back to this location.

Expensive and mediocre food!! The wait staff is great!! The are great! Good place for a smaller gathering!!

As I was driving to Houston, I just had to stop in at Torchy's Tacos again. Probably one of my favorite spots to eat in Lake Charles. The service is great, the atmosphere is ideal and the food is amazing. You won't be disappointed.

I had a carne asada plate and my husband had the Flauta plate and it was delicious. Not to mention the Habanero sauce, it was very spice but good if it makes any sense. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Run away. Utter disgrace. Normally we love Torchy's (because we live in Austin and know what real Torchy's should be). Placed an online order at 1:44pm with a 2:30pm pickup. Couldn't get anyone to pickup the phone (even after using the manager's direct line twice when normal phone didn't answer for 7+ minutes) so had to go inside. Confusion abounds. Finally, get seen. Food ready at 2:48pm. All would have been forgiven, if I received anything close to regular Torchy's. Tortillas were undercooked across the board. Corn tortilla orders came with a single tortilla rather than the usual two. The Trashy Trailer park was just trash. Look at this congealed mess. I get these trying times. I don't get a great company like Torchy's allowing this to happen. Thankfully, I live close to many other Torchy's and will get my taco fix there.

ordered a grande burrito bowl today and it looked like a kids meal. Supposed to have potatoes, it didn't. barely covered the bottom of the bowl! Cold, missing potatoes and definitely NOT worth the cost since it was only 1/4 the amount it should've had My pregnant daughter really wanted this and it's a shame how little these people care about their jobs! My first experience with Torchys and I will not ever order anything from there after the mess I just saw. Taco Bell does way better and that's saying something

Food is good but 50 times I've ordered the queso I ask nicely for no cilantro and diablo sauce but they do not listen. I try to call and order to make sure but they do not take phone orders any more. I've never been rude not once but you have lost a customer over a simple thing.

GREAT TACOS I love eating at this place. My favorite tacos are Baja Shrimp Taco and the Beef Fajita Taco. I eat at this location once a week. Food is always hot and fresh.

Over priced and the portions are small, Taco Bell is better and cheaper! The staff was friendly but young

I keep coming back here because the food is so good, but the service is absolutely atrocious. This place gets customer service wrong more times than right, and they do it wrong for both dine-in and also pick-up. The last two times we got our food to go using their app, I have twice requested grilled tacos but they gave me fried. It happened the first time, so I paid attention the second time. As soon as she gave me the order, I looked at the receipt and it said grilled shrimp. I was foolish enough to assume they were correct (they weren't), but I didn't check until I drove 15 minutes home. Now I have to decide whether to eat the fried shrimp (again), or waste my time and gas for them to correct another error? One of the first times I went in there, it was with my 14 year old daughter and my wife. They forgot my daughter's tacos. I went and told them and they said sure, no problem. Thinking her food was on the way, we started to eat. I had to ask three different people for my daughter's tacos, and my wife and I had eaten our entire meal before my daughter got her food. My daughter ended up taking her meal to go. Or we can talk about the time they didn't have any soap in the restroom. After standing around for 15 minutes and asking multiple people, someone finally put soap in the restroom. Part of why I had to stand around so long is because one employee didn't want to help. I told her there wasn't any soap in the restroom, and she said that's not "her job" and she pointed to the young woman at the register who was checking out a line of multiple orders. The bad part is that these aren't the only issues we have experienced. These are all that I remember clearly, but we have left Torchy's and felt like we had a bad experience in more ways than these. As I said at the start, the food is great. As a manager myself, I would be embarrassed if my staff acted in this manner. I keep hoping the will get it right and they rarely do.

Nice looking place, inviting, well lit, fairly busy - Saturday night. I was soon informed that it may take 30 minutes to get food, but chips & drinks could be available immediately. I've never been to a Torchy's Tacos. The young lady taking orders was pleasant but seemed to be in a hurry and we ended up with a miscommunication resulting in my getting and paying for one too many bowls of dip; she had to call a manager over to edit the order, so I elected to take both bowls, one of guacamole & one of green chile queso - both were plentiful but a bit too spicy hot for my taste. The chips accompanying them were good though quite salty. I ordered a strawberry margarita for $6 & change; it was kinda small and tasted more like lime, which was what had been printed on the bill. I questioned the flavor & was told that it was strawberry, then given a 2nd one that tasted like lime as well. Good thing I like lime! I had a grilled shrimp taco and an avocado taco; they were both ok. I was given a free coke with no words added, and left nearly half a bowl of each dip. Ticket $31.61.

I got the trailer park tacos and it was delicious! I couldn't even finish the 2nd one because it was topped with so much! The chicken in the taco was super seasoned and amazing. The servers were so sweet and made sure I was completely cared for! Will definitely come back for more!

My family and I had been seeing this place for awhile and decided to drop in one night for dinner. The chips were very salty (yummy)! I had the bean and beef burrito and it was amazing. It was packed fully with beans and beef which was great. My family said their food was "not terrible but not amazing" and that "they'd still go back." I was satisfied, though. They also offer vegan options for anyone considering this place! I would recommend this place if you're craving a good taco.

Food was great! We each had two tacos and shared a queso and it filled us right up. The lady at the counter greeted us as soon as we walked in which I love to see right off the bat. They even walked us through their special taco they had, but personally it wasn't our cup of tea. Overall great experience, a little pricey but definitely unique and worth a try!

This was the worst torchy tacos I've ever been to . This was the worst run taco joint / maybe even restaurant I've ever been to. It was maybe at 20% capacity and it took over 30min to get my order of 8 tacos. After finally asking them, I finally got the tacos but only 4 of them . Thank god I checked ... those 4 were not even cooked fully. I finally got the other 4 and they didn't even give me all the inner parts of it. After posting the above ^ Torchy taco reached out and cleared this all up and made it right . They have restored my confidence .

I personally don't do spice, but these had the perfect amount of heat. I tried all of the lemonades they had available and they were all amazing. I can't wait to go again!

Very good food. Queso is real good and can be complimentary if you can get a deal on the right day. ask for the secret menu. I like the trailer one it's real good.

This is a good place to go for a site down, drink a beer and enjoy different types of tacos. Can watch a game or sit outside.

I wish I'd taken photos of our food tonight. We always love the queso so we decided to go to Taco Tuesday. Over the last year the food has been just not been very good (except the queso, it's always delicious). Tonight though, just as good as any Texas Torchy's we've ever had. It was amazing!!! I even tried the taco of the month and it was by far the best taco of the month I've ever had. Keep it up Torchy's. Staff was very friendly as well.

Honestly I got excited seeing torchy's tacos and I think it over Texas roadhouse delicious steak I could've been eating. Instead I walked into Torshi's ordered tacos the lady goes behind the counter gets tacos out of a tree that's already been made and put them in a bag and hand them to me for six dollars a freaking taco. Here's one of the examples of a taco I put my Chapstick in the picture for size comparison.

Disappointing if you are used to the ones in Austin. I don't recommend getting take out. I ordered my food online at 6:30 for pick-up at 8:00 after my yoga class. I got there around 7:45 and sat in curb-side for 30 minutes along with 6 other vehicles. Nobody ever came out. I tried calling 3 times. Nobody answered. I finally went in to see what the deal was. It was close to their closing time. Nobody behind the counter greeted me, asked what I needed etc. despite nobody else being there to order. 5-6 more people finally got out of their cars and came in behind me. An off-duty worker heard me and another woman talking about our long wait so she went to check on our food and came back to tell the other woman hers was "almost ready" even though she ordered an hour after me. Lol. Finally at 8:35, somebody comes to get my name and ask where I'm parked. I told her. At 8:45 she comes out with my food. No margaritas, which, mind you, was about one-third of my total. She goes back in to get them. $9.00 for "large" margaritas in a solo cup. I get home to eat. None of my tacos were even remotely warm. One was actually ice cold. No sauce with any of my tacos. My queso also didn't come with the chicharrones like advertised. Won't go back.

I ordered two tacos - Baja shrimp / fried avocado. Loved the grilled shrimp baja taco! I've never had a fried avocado before so i decided to try it. It was definitely mushy for a taco but idk what I was expecting. Overall everything I had was great and very flavorful.

Food is good, they must have listened because it they had the music playing at medium level. The trailer park done trashy ( no lettuce add queso)is good and the grande burrito is good with chipotle sauce. Friendly people. Its rated the same as the wepster one.

I have eaten here before and it was great at the time. However, last night we got 3 trailer trash tacos and the chicken was soggy. Very disappointed. By the time I got back to my hotel they were closed and I couldn't call and get them remade.
