    I drive by the place all the time when out shopping at the Outdoor Mall and decided to give them a try. The service is good. You are greeted at the door and assisted as soon as you walk in. I ordered my food To-Go and it was ready in about 10 minutes. Now... the food... was simply not good. The charro beans and rice were the only thing I liked. But the carne asada (which was really just a piece of cheap grilled steak) was flavorless and tough. It has zero salt or spice on it. And it was so tough I could not chew it. My husband ordered beef fajitas and there was hardly any meat. It was 85% grilled peppers and onions. I didn't have any food that would encourage a second visit.

    Amazing service and even better food, love this place! Our server was the sweetest lady :)

    A baby roach crawling on the table near my food.

    I'd give this place 0 stars if I could! Let me start by saying how it was a whole ROACH on the table and mind you ..I had the big breakfast burrito ! Lmfaooo ain't no telling if it came out my burrito or WHAAAT. Then they had only taken off $10 from my $30 order ..then when I told the waitress she ended up going and telling the others working there and somehow they found it funny ..but let me tell you ..THIS A HEALTH HAZARD CAUSE FR A ROACH ?! Now I'm not even the type to leave reviews but ..baby it was a whole roach. Then I feel bad for the people sitting there tearing the food up after seeing a roach on the table near my plate ...

    Service is always wonderful. Thanks, Daniel, for always being ready to assist us. Food is always good. And we haven't had a problem yet. We come here at least twice a month.

    This place is nice, and decent. My family of 10 came here for a birthday dinner and they were nice servers. We all waited till everyone was there, and once we ordered our food it took along time to get. The food was okay, i guess because there was a lot of us the food took a while and some plates were ready and some weren't so my plate was not hot semi warm.. I ordered the el presidente plate, it was good. I wish the cheese was a little warmer in the enchiladas. It was a cheese with cheese, a cheese with chili, and a chicken sour cream. The chicken had little to any seasoning. The guiso burrito- it's really like a taco was good. I'd order again, and just reheat at home. My partner ordered the mojarra Frita it was good needed a little seasoning as well.

    We used to eat here all the time. Management has changed and the food is good but just lost some appeal.

    Sandra (waitstaff) was great assisting us with our order, very friendly, good customer service…read moreskills. Building was very nicely done & clean. Sitting area was perfect for my family. We ordered Enchiladas Chicken, Quesadilla plate, & they had Aguas Frescas. All the food was hot & taste great. Portions were perfect for the price. This definitely hit my Mexican food need, having been out of NM for 2 weeks. 3 adults eating for $43 wasn't bad at all.

    After church, our pastor recommended this place for the tacos and menudo, and the menu offers so…read moremany options to choose from! Definitely authentic Mexican food and decent service. Polish up on your Spanish I was most impressed with the complimentary chips w/3 types of salsa and small bowls of frijoles a la charra for each of us YUM the beans were D-lish! I like to try what hasn't been reviewed yet so I had the Pozole Rojo (red hominy soup w/pork meat & spices) Very big serving bowl with lots of broth w/plain crisp tostadas x3. The Menudo and the Pozole were definitely at least a level 3 spice for me (but I'ma wimp when it comes to spice). The menudo, same generous size bowl, was too spicy for Ma so we took it to-go for my dad. Bro ordered Enchiladas Verdes plate w/chicken.. again very generous portion w/4 enchiladas rice n beans. The green sauce was a little spicy as well for him. He only ate half. Grandson ordered beef asada quesadilla plate which he loved served with rice and beans. Granddaughter ordered 2 plain bean and cheese tostadas but expected cheddar cheese and not queso fresco... well, I gobbled those up for her too! To drink, sweet tea has free refills, the large Jamaica was tasty, and the kids opted for Jarritos. It was 84.99 for three adults and two kids. A little pricy in my opinion but I'd go again to try more menu entrees.

    We were in town for a local tournament and stopped by - holy cow! This is not like other Mexican…read morerestaurants! This place is insanely delish!!! I had the al pastor tacos and it was the best al pastor I have ever had in my life. Such a simple dish but performed so elegantly with refinement. We also ordered nachos as an appetizer and again, very beautiful display and all the flavors worked together to perform a symphony in my mouth. I wish i slowed down and took pics - sorry!

    Hands down, this place is amazing and that's saying a lot because I don't even like Mexican food…read morelike that. The grilled shrimp nachos are the bomb. So flavorful and absolutely delicious. I stopped in because I was starving and needed lunch, sat at the bar, and when I say the service was 1000% on point, I truly mean it. I ordered my food to go and also got a drink to go, and while I was waiting, the bartender made me a small drink to enjoy at the bar. That was such a thoughtful touch. He also gave me chips and salsa and was extremely attentive and genuinely nice the entire time. I love good customer service, so I will absolutely rave about this place. The food was great, the service was top-tier, and they wrapped everything perfectly with plastic wrap for my to-go order 10 out of 10. Even though I'm not a big Mexican food eater, I will definitely be back just because of the service alone... and those grilled shrimp nachos . Also the ambience was so nice. they had the games playing so if you wanna go watch the game have some good food. This is the place and the drinks..... so good you only need one lol

We were acknowledged and seated pretty fast by a very welcoming young lady. We got our menus and began to investigate the delicious food. After a short peruse of the menu, we decide its time to order, the waitress comes back, answers a few questions and we're good to go. Next is when the magic happens... the food arrives... WOW The buritto was the size of a small farm animal.... The food smelled so good I wanted to put a bed in this place and make it my new home!!! They have pretty healthy sized portions, and equally delicious... I was not able to finish my food, and my sons friend ate himself to sleep... LOL The food is super good, it reminds me more of California side Mexican food, not Tex-Mex... and that's what I like. My wife's fajitas were magical, and she was able to bring home a great sized snack for later with her leftovers. The place is a little older, and the building is not as new as some places you'll go... also, the bathrooms are a little older and look a little worn... but the food was awesome. I can't say I'll return since I'm never really in that area, but if I do find myself at that way, I'm coming back to Taqueria Torres.
