Torchy's Tacos

We came in during the happy hour. Very comfortable and lots of room :) Nice drinks and atmosphere was clean. Hazy IPA and Mexican Candy Margarita. Tacos were good, flavorful :) Careful. It's a little spicy over here :)

I immediately enjoy the energetic Decor in color and the atmosphere felt peaceful and inviting the food was amazing. I enjoyed the kiosk ordering system. The food came out quickly and hot. I enjoyed how the queso had fresh ingredients on top so that so that we could mix it before eating the tortillas were delicious crisp light can't wait to go back. I ordered the chicken fajita Taco, my counterpart ordered a shrimp taco. Affordable

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was the best experience! A total treat for my eyes, my mouth, and my soul. The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. But what really stood out was the staff. Every single person was SO helpful, friendly, and genuinely kind. You can feel the good vibes the moment you walk in. Can’t wait to come back!

Probably the best breakfast taco I have eaten and the best salsa I have had that was not homemade. My only complaint is I won’t be able to take the salsa home with me!

This place is freaking amazing! Great service and food! Alcohol is yummy, also🤣✨🤸‍♀️😍💥💥🔥🔥🥳 Thank you to Angel, for checking on me! He was super cool and sweet and made sure I was comfortable. All of the staff was amazing, including the bartender 💯 I wanted to order a double shot Bacardi and he suggested the bicardi coconut which I have never tried before👀Good call!!!

It's a beautiful restaurant, well organized and very clean. (A clean restaurant is very important to me!) All the tables were clean with no dirty clutter waiting for someone to clean it. We each had a burrito bowl with chicken. When the lady brought it, I thought it looked a little on the small side for the price paid, but with chips it was plenty for lunch. The chips were fresh and crispy and not oily at all which sometimes at other places that's the way they come. Anyway we enjoyed our meal and will be back soon.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing experience!! This was our very first time trying this place.We came in with a big group and had to put tables together and the staff was just outstanding taking care of us. When we finished we tried to fix the tables and chairs back and staff insisted that they fix everything they were just so kind and had a great attitude even with our big group! Great job Torchy's y'all are amazing

Honestly missed this place since having it in Austin, Texas! Was so ecstatic once realizing we had one in Phoenix, Arizona. The best thing is obviously the Queso… it’s packed with avocado, diablo sauce, spices and more. The atmosphere here is so beautiful from the chandeliers to the color scheme and the layout. The place is super clean and organized which makes for a great experience. So stoked to have this place nearby!

Torchys was absolutely fire!! I was shocked by how good the food was. The trio was the perfect starter. I never expected the queso to so delicious. We literally got more to take home for later! All of the food was so good and fresh. I will be 100% coming back! Also- the restaurant is super clean and plenty of room! The staff is also amazing and so friendly!

First off, I chose this location because wise the one on Shea is closed. The ease of ordering on the touch screen is nice depending on your patience. The place is fairly clean with no noticeable trash piling up. I ordered the queso with chips, brush fire taco and a side of elote. Everything was good until I wanted more chips... They seemed somewhat busy so asked a server there if I could have a sec as he was bringing back an order. I wait five minutes as he pops in and out. No follow up. I get up while he's working the bar and ask if I need to order more chips or if they can bring some out. He says he'll bring me out some once he makes some drinks. Fine. I wait another several minutes and watch and he makes the drinks, bounces in and out and even makes eye contact. Doesn't register. I finally get up and a nice lady comes out and finally takes care of the chips and even throws in some salsa. She was a sweetheart. Food is great. Experience horrible and will most likely to return. Thank you Torchys for the good food but lack of training with staff will potentially lead this location to the same fate as the Shea location.

We joined some friends her for Taco Tuesday. I've seen it driving down the road, but knew nothing about it. It is an order at the counter place, and the food is really amazing. We were all pleasantly surprised. I had the salmon salad which was $13.85, and we all agreed it was the best deal. I had it the second day for lunch as week. It was huge. My husband had a breakfast taco, because they have breakfast all day, and our friends had a couple of other tacos in the menu. We had a 22 ounce beer and it was normally, $7.15, but was a $1.50 off for happy hour, which is from 3 to 6. One of our friends had the house margarita, and said it was good. We received coupons for a free taco in our next visit and really are looking forward to going back.

In May 2025, I tried this location solo and definitely ordered way too much as their menu just sounded too good not to order a few things. I did take leftovers to share at home, so no food was wasted and one dish ordered with intent to have leftovers. Always find these valley locations to have quick service and fairly personable. The lobby is always clean and cozy enough for a dine in meal.

It was good. Although I wish the shrimp in the tacos weren't fried. ............but good anyway............

Good food, great flavored tea selection! The margaritas looked good, will try one next time. Tried 2 different tacos and they did not disappoint! Very clean seating area. Great service by everyone we came in contact with.

The tacos were amazing and the price is very reasonable. You need 2-3 tacos to be full. Just one is not enough. There is ample parking as it is inside of a strip mall with other stores. When you walk in you place your order on the screen. They let you customize your taco as much or as little as you would like. They also have alcohol, soda and tea options. Churros and chocolate chip cookies were the dessert options. Once you place your order you are given an order number and an employee brings it out to you whether its for dine in or take out. I drove all the way from Tucson for these tacos and it was worth it. My only complaint is that i would like some more simple options. Many of the tacos had a lot of spicy stuff and interesting toppings. I personally loved the democrat and the brushfire.

Food is always jam packed with flavor service is good and the ambiance is amazing it's in a pristine location

Let's be honest - no one comes here for the tacos , they come here for the bomb queso . They should rename jt Torchy's Queso . Tacos are maybe 3 stars, queso a solid 5

Torchy's Tacos is my very favorite taco place in the Phoenix area! Excellent food and awesome staff! My favorite tacos are the Hogfather and the Republican along with a side of elote. I discovered Torchy's last year when I was given free coupons when I was an inpatient at Barrow Neurological Institute. Torchy's immediately became my favorite place and still is! The food is so good! Angel is always so kind, helpful, and professional. I would eat at Torchy's 2-3 times a week when I was going to Barrow for outpatient rehab. Built up my strength and eating at home more, but still love Torchy's! Always a great meal!

First time here. Really enjoyed it. It's quite large . And they gave a full bar. Another surprise. We each ordered different tacos and the corn. All delicious. Brought to our table and they even checked on us. Very fun place. I'll be back!!

First timer and I was very impressed that hillbilly queso is the bomb!!!! Awesome service and so clean and awesome

Strange experience - we came in for breakfast burritos. I added guac to the order. Midway through the burrito I realized the guac was MIA. I told a worker, who told me they ran out of guac. Strange. After I was through, I realized the burrito didn't have chorizo either? We ate outside and someone was rummaging through the trash while we were eating. A 1 stars experience but 5 star potential

Love this place. I mean it's no SD or TJ but it def hit the spot! I would recommend it when/if my friends from out of town came in.

I was hoping for a yummy meal but was disappointed. First it took 20 minutes to get out order!! We had ordered from the kiosk and received the disk which is supposed to flash but it never did. Finally came out hand delivered which makes me think they had lost the order. We got home to discover the bowl was NOT a bowl, more like a half cup! WOW! Usually better but this was ridiculous.

I ordered on the kiosk and my order came out fast. I didn't talk to any employees so I can't say much about that. I thought the food was good, not my favorite but it's good

Went here on Friday for lunch with my husband and enjoyed the food thought it was a bit pricy. Each taco is $5-$7 each. They are pretty big soo I wasn't too bothered. Ordering was a self serve system where there are 2 computers to order from. However, there's soo much to look at and they have pictures of everything on there which is very convenient. A lady did come to the front to start taking orders when the line gained a few people. There's also a bar here which is cool. They sell margaritas, Patron, and other cocktails as well. They have a happy hour but it doesn't seem like a great value for food as it only takes $1 of the already expensive tacos. That's cool if you're there and eating but I wouldn't go out of my way for that happy hour special. The Jamaican jerk taco was really good but needed a good sauce with it. The red sauce they gave is super spicy and lacks any fresh or distinguishable flavor. The other one was good as well but again needed a sauce. I wish they had fresh salsa here, a salsa bar would really up this place. There was some salsa that came with the burrito that was mediocre. The quesadilla, tacos, and burrito was good.

I'm always looking for great tacos and so we tried this place. The names are funky but the tacos are flipping tasty. We sat at the bar and our bartender was great and helpful. Two tacos is a lot of taco for reference. I'll be going back and trying more of the tacos for sure. The place is bright and red.

Torchy's Tacos has a large in door area that features a bar along with its variety of tacos. The tacos are anywhere from $5-$7 each and some are even breakfast themed. I tried a few of their tacos plus a steak burrito. This cost me $25.09. There's a good amount of food so I was able to take some of it home but none of it left a lasting impression on me.

Let start of by saying the taco was good. I stoped in cause I was craving carne asada tacos, they didn't have it but I got the beef fajita taco with corn tortilla, it was good. Not the standard taco but it was good. Service was quick and the place is clean and pretty nice in general. My thing is $8 (added tip) for a singular taco did not hit me until I was about to have my first bite that did I just spend $8 on one singular taco??? Lmao at least it was good and I get full pretty easily but damn that's steep, with no drink or chips added. Anyways it's definitely a place to stop at during your lunch break with your coworkers if y'all make like $100k a year lol.

This place is horrible. Almost all of the food was inedible. I can't remember the last time I had an entire order that was so bad. Crossroads was the only thing that we were able to eat. It was odd having pickled jalapeños from a can. Nothing seems fresh. The Steak Fajita was cold, the cheese solid and there was so much grease it soaked through the tortilla, see pictures. It also had a strong taste like cinnamon which is odd for fajitas. The Trailer Park was something you'd get at KFC. One small fried piece of chicken with lettuce and cheese. Spit this one out. The Democrat was extremely salty and not edible. The avocado was brown. The Queso had a really bad flavor, not edible. $75 worth of food in the trash. For 8 tacos and Queso, the price is crazy. This is not Mexican food, it's not TexMex, I'm not even sure what it is.

Used to be good, when I first started going but lately they keep messing up the ordered and small portion sizes. It's been interesting.

The flame's still burning at Torch's Tacos. When this restaurant first opened a few years back, I visited during their "Grand Opening ". The place was packed and had barely any available tables. Today, it's not quite as chaotic, but still has a strong following. After waiting in line to place my order, I was asked to move to a specific register. A few moments later, the employee asked me to move to another. It wasn't a big deal, but came with no explanation and was puzzling. The dining room is fairly spacious and is kept neat and clean. I was barely done eating one item before an employee was there to clear the table. Not a bad thing, I guess. I ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Taco which arrived in less than five minutes. The flour tortilla was warm and fluffy. The fillings were just as expected and the taco was even topped with a bit of melted cheese. It's served with a side of salsa, though I skipped it. I also ordered a side of Street Corn. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and firmness of the kernels. A+ ! While I didn't drink on this visit, they do have a bar which seems like a nice place to catch up with friends, watch a game and sip a cold one. Overall, I'm happy with my most recent visit and can see why Torchy's Tacos still has loyal clientele.

I lived in Austin for a few years and frequented Torchy's Tacos for their queso alone. I had no idea that they had expanded to other states, and was SO excited to see them on a recent trip to Phoenix. It's a fast casual setting here. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. They have a bar where you can get counter service, but we just decided to sit at one of the tables instead of at the bar. I got their fried avocado taco and their queso and both were just as delicious as I remembered them. The queso definitely has a kick to it, and it's so delicious. Drinks were good, I got their frozen margarita and it was really yummy. We felt a little rushed by the person who was taking our order the evening we came, but other than that the service was good. She also tried to take our plates before we were done with them, and I even checked the time to make sure we weren't there past closing, which we weren't at all - it was only 7:30pm and they closed at 10pm. The manager stopped by our table to check on us at one point and she was lovely. The food and drinks both came out really quickly. I'll come back every time for their queso alone!

The tacos were really great and it was well-seasoned. It was packed with great stuffings and ingredients were fresh and absolutely fantastic. The texture was really good in every bite. They have nice portion size. The salsa was freshly made. Nice spot for Mexican dishes. Great customer service.

I wouldn't have moved back to Arizona from Texas if there wasn't a Torchy's Tacos. Their queso gives me life! And green chile pork is everything. Sit at the bar and have a skinny margarita. The best! Super good service too!

I must say, I was extremely surprised at how delicious this food was! I had no expectations but let's just say they exceeded what I could have imagined! No disrespect to any other establishment but this was THEE BEST TACO I EVER HAD! No exaggeration and I only tried one off the menu. The ambiance is that of fast food, though it was quite quaint compared to appearance. I tried the Trailer Park Combo based on a recommendation from the server and a fellow customer who was finishing up as I arrived. I also had churros for dessert. I got my combo the "Trashy Way" but nothing about this food was trash!

Had the most delicious tortillas and Tipsy bowl since visiting Arizona. Its truly That Damn Good Taco place. The ambiance is really nice, spacious, clean, and has outdoor seating as well. The service was great. They were so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend trying their food on a family outing. The prices are not bad and there are lots of choices to choose from.

I love this place! I haven't tried too many items on their menu because I'm devoted to my favorite taco, "The Democrat." I visit every Friday or Saturday after checking out the Last Chance retail store. The staff are friendly, and the ambiance has a relaxed vibe. Now, let's talk about the tacos--they are delicious and plentiful! The freshly made corn tortillas are always piping hot and incredibly tasty. Each taco comes with roasted salsa m, slice of lime and a slice of avocado, which perfectly complements the flavors. I always enjoy my meal with a Mexican Coca-Cola, and the chip ice is a definite plus. I can't wait for this place to open up in my area in Surprise, AZ. Thanks for consistently providing great service!

I work in the industry--and this place made me "number 2" myself and vomit in the same hour. Torchy's Tacos, y'all should be ashamed. I'm not some random picky eater. I work in professional kitchens. I know the difference between fresh and foul, between a rushed line cook and straight-up negligence. What I experienced here? Biohazard status. I took one chance on this place and within an hour I was destroyed. I'm talking explosive diarrhea, had to shower, and mid-shower, I started throwing up. I'm not making this up. I've worked in restaurants for years and never in my life has food hit me like this. I legit thought I had food poisoning or got cursed. And for what? A sad, sloppy excuse for a burrito that was 90% beans and guac, like y'all ran out of actual ingredients and said "eh, they won't notice." No seasoning. No texture. No love. Just a soft, lukewarm tube of regret. The restaurant vibe? Dead. Bunch of old folks chewing slowly, probably because their stomachs are too afraid to process whatever's coming next. Y'all aren't just serving bad food you're playing roulette with people's insides. Torchy's: if this is what you're proud of, you seriously need to reevaluate your standards. From one industry worker to another: step your game up. Because what you served me was not food, it was a full-blown health violation wrapped in a tortilla.

Favorite lunch spot for casual taco in the valley. Always great service at the bar - fast and friendly. Love the tacos, although 95% of the time I get mine in a bowl for lower carb. Try the green chili pork missionary style and you won't be let down. We also like the chips and queso -- but keep in mind generally a half order is enough unless that's all you're getting or something.

Always a great experience sitting at the bar - and John does an excellent job! I am typically asking for modifications to existing menu items and am always more than pleased to with what I get. Great service at a fair price - go here...

Again, not a fan of Tex mex. But I was starving and in this poop show of a parking lot. I asked for a bean and cheese burrito and they said they couldn't do that. I got the fried avocado taco and it wasn't bad. Have no idea where the salsa was at so I went without it. I've had worse "Mexican" food in my life but still not a fan of this.

Vegetarians & Pescatarians, this is for you: Not very many options but if you eat fish, opt for salmon instead of shrimp. The portion is much better. A few tiny fried shrimp v. salmon overflowing from tortilla. Only really breakfast or veg burrito options for veg...LMK if there is a hack for a larger/different veg option or if your really hungry, do you just stick w Chipotle?

First feel in love with Torchy's when visiting Austin. This visit brought us right back. The queso is just as good as ever. But be careful, if they tell you something is spicy, unless you really really like spicy food, you might want to try something milder. At first, my son didn't think the jerk chicken taco was all that spicy , but when the heat hit after his second bite, sweat started dripping down his face. He had to eat an avocado slice and a half a basket of chips before the heat subsided.

Great location! This place reps the brand well. The Manager Naudia is outstanding and went above and beyond to resolve a very, very minor issue. Oh, and the tacos are damn good

Excellent food as usual! Tried the corn for the first time and not only was the quantity huge but it tasted amazing! Loved the tacos and burritos with fried avocado. They brought us the red salsa we loved too. The restaurant service was excellent and but tables needed to be cleaned. I really, always a great spot to grab food and have fun.

I'll start by saying wow!!! These truly are gourmet tacos I was shocked for a chain to be so good. I've only worked my way through approximately 1/3 of the menu and I can't add any pictures because I've consume the food so fast I didn't even think to take photos next time, I will add photos for sureso far. I've tried the trailer park the Democrat, the Republican, the crossroads and the Matador which was recently removed from the menu I guess they alternate certain items and tacos of the month which is a very cool idea. Thus far everything I have tried has been absolutely delicious including the Street corn and the queso don't sleep on this place. It is far much better than I thought it would be.

I love Torchys! Best tacos and you really only need one. I recommend the Democrat. The meat is tender and always delicious. I feel that sometimes the music inside is too "hairy." Sometimes a little too loud too. When it first opened, everyone was always personable and kind, now that's not really the case. Everyone is kind, just not super personable. Manager is very nice though and was willing to go above and beyond for whatever we needed. We come here all the time and love it!

I have eaten here a few times, it never got anything better. The only thing good was, the beer is very cold! I advise if you decide to venture in, sit at the bar. You will get served and not have to stand in line to order. The service at the bar is better but only more or less :/. Prices are reasonable, quality is not great, flavor needs help!!!

First thing that hit me about Torchy's was the friendly staff. Nothing better than a smile and a staff that genuinely wants you to be satisfied. Shout/out to GM Nadia. Her smile, and friendly aura was very well received by us. The burrito was top notch - very tasty. The sauces were great except one was too hot for my delicate pallette. Very cool, there's a full bar where you can eat and drink. We sat outside. I'll def come back to try the tacos!

Torchy's Tacos First ate at TT at Waco, Texas near Baylor University. Chips and Queso - Topped with guacamole, cotija cheese, cilantro and diablo sauce. Recommend the queso probably one of their staple things to order. Baja Shrimp Taco - Fried Shrimp, cooked cabbage slaw, pickled and onion jalapeños, cotija cheese, cilantro sauce on a corn tortilla. Was heavy on the cotija cheese, was kind of lime fetta cheese which I am not a fan of and would rather have flour tortilla than corn tortilla. Democrat Taco - Barbacoa, avocadoI, cotija cheese, cilantro, onions and a lime wedge with tomatillo sauce on a corn tortilla would rather have flour tortilla than corn tortilla. Could do without the cotija cheese and prefer to to have flour tortilla rather than the corn tortilla Would like to try the crossroads taco and the beef fajita taco next time.

The food is fantastic! It's a different and unique take on what to put in a taco. Highly recommend the Crossroads, Trailer Park Trashy, and any of the breakfast tacos. All of the food has been good, flavorful, but can bit slightly salty! The chips and queso are a solid appetizer, but wish they added a bit more chips to the basket. Service and food readiness could be a bit faster. The slowness works if you have time to go, order, wait, and enjoy the food.

Came here to try torchys after seeing a long line when they opened first and came out disappointed. We got the (~$5/ea) trailer park taco trashy and Baja shrimp taco. We also got the ($10) grande burrito with beef. Ironically the grande burrito is not very big. First the good, their flour tortilla on the burrito was chewy in a good way and had a nice texture. The beef in the burrito had a decent flavor. For the bad, the beef in the burrito was tough to an unholy level. Almost impossible to bite through, they were big chunks that you had to pull out of the burrito. The meats in the tacos were flavorless except for huge amounts of salt. Overall, all the food was plain bad. Combined with how expensive it is, there's just no reason to come back.

Good size portions for single tacos. A couple vegetarian options. Cool that it has a bar too. Mediocre though. But would try again.

Came into torchy tacos to try the tacos. Here are amazing a lot of meat very flavorful. You won't regret coming here. They were sinfully delicious. The service was also great. The restaurant was very clean and the staff very friendly. We will be Back

We tried Torchy Tacos in central Texas years ago. They are now popping up in Phoenix with several locations opening. Tonight, we chose to try them during half-time of college televised football games. The restaurant was clean and very spacious. Televisions were broadcasting the college football games. The young man behind the counter was engaging and enthusiastic about the food selections. When we asked, he had no reservations about sharing his favorites without pressure. We ordered the fried shrimp and Caribbean chicken tacos along with the queso and chips. The shrimp taco was good, full of flavor and stuffed full in the taco. The pickled onions were a nice balance. The Caribbean taco had slices of fresh mango and only filled 1/3 of the taco. It looked like a free sample taco. The sauces were good but a bit strong and overwhelmed the flavor of the taco proteins. The chips were not warm and lacked salt. The queso was well seasoned and a generous amount. It had a good spice and was well flavored. I felt the tacos and queso were expensive for a quick taco dinner. The shrimp taco was good while the Caribbean chicken was fair. The chips need to be served warm with a light dusting of salt. It was peculiar that one taco was stuffed and one was only minimally filled. I am glad we tried Torchy Tacos tonight, but I don't feel the need to return. I enjoy a good taco but did not find them good value or exceptionally flavored.

Came for their soft opening and the line was like 2 hrs. At least they gave us water to hydrate. The grand opening is Wednesday. Also they gave us chips with queso, salsa and guac. The queso was really good and the guac tasted fresh. After we got in we sat at the bar and got a Marietta strawberry. The alcohol is already mixed it. Also I got 2 tacos one was called the trailer park. Reminded me of the snack wrap from McDonald's. It was good. Also I got the tipsy chick and it was so good! Both sauces were so good and tacos are big! They are opening another location by Tatum.

I'm from TX, so when I heard about Torchy's first location opening up in AZ, I was ecstatic! My bf and I attended both the Grand Opening Party on Monday and the actual Grand Opening on Wednesday. Boy, were those lines LOOONG. We got the free shirts though! Some of my favorites not in any particular order are the: - Green Chile Queso: A MUST. It's honestly one of my favorite quesos ever. I love the guac that's hidden inside. - Brushfire: This one packs a LOT of heat and a hint of sweetness from the mangoes. - Tipsy Chick: Grilled chicken with corn, cheese, and bacon bourbon marmalade - yum. - Crossroads: The beef brisket with all the fixings like the avocado, cilantro, jalapenos is *chefs kiss* - Trailer Park: The classic fried chicken taco. My bf's favorite is the Democrat which has barbacoa. I had never had it before until earlier this week and it was pretty good. I've had the Fried Avocado before too and it was yums. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of them. One thing to keep in mind is that these tacos are FATTT. They don't skimp on anything. I can't eat more than 2 at most. My bf and I tried the drinks for the first time. We had the Sucker Punch and Tito's Cherry Limeade. They were both tasty but I prefer the Sucker Punch since it's sweeter. Last but not least, I just want to say how happy I am with the staff. They had great energy, were always willing to help, and were super attentive on both days that we were there. I can only imagine how tough it was to cater to such large crowds on opening week but everyone did a fantastic job! All the tables, chairs, and restrooms were well maintained and cleaned through all the chaos. Overall: Food 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Not everyone gets away with fusion tacos but Torchy's does it right! No, they are not authentic but it's #damngood!
