So far so good. I like the feel of this place and I think they have proven they are not just a trendy fly by night taco spot. This place has a "hole in the wall" feel with a decent menu to convince most palates to return. I'm not losing sleep over this place, yet every time I eat here I wonder why I've waited so long to eat here again. I'm a creature of habit so I always order the green chili tacos... I always wonder if two is enough and it always is... And my oh my they are tasty!!! Check this place out, there's a few more locations; Allen is my only experience and I'm diggin it. read more

Except for the wait, I am definitely a fan. Food: Delicious. Period. Not your side-of-the-street Mexican tacos, but a more fancier version of that. But then again, what do I know about side-of-the-street Mexican tacos... Went for early dinner in the fall and was back again for Sunday brunch this time. SO FILLING. Got chips & guac, the Wrangler, and the Monk's Special. Each taco came with double tortilla (corn, of course), because the toppings were so heavy that one tortilla would have probably struggled to hold the toppings' weight... Both were on the breakfast menu! Highly recommend the Wrangler (mmm potatoes), and ordering two tacos will leave you very stuffed. Felt like each taco had at least two eggs on it. Total came to be less than $12. And guac is a bit on the spicier side, be warned. Service: Slow. Very slow... Chips & guac came out pretty fast, but the rest of the order... man, were they slow. We came in during a lull, I would say. There were anyone in line in front of us, and the dining room was only maybe 1/3 full. But it took at least 25 mins for two tacos to get to my table... Ambiance: Family-friendly :) A good mixture of couples and families on a Sunday morning. Very relaxing atmosphere. But just overall, I would like to not wait almost 30 mins for a couple of tacos... read more

The food is good, but double check your take out order before driving away. They forgot my 2 beers, so my food cost $8 extra!

I'm am a big time Torchy's fan, but this location in Allen was extremely disappointing. The tacos were served cold/cool, the tortillas seemed like it had been reheated several times and was hard/stale. The taste was ok. We did NOT get any salsa with our order. I did ask for some salsa and got ONE (the hottest). We usually get served at least one of each kind of salsa. This is the second time the food was sub par. To top it off the restrooms were very dirty. The staff/servers seemed unclean & shouldn't be serving food. I will not be coming back to this particular Torchy's. read more

This is definitely mine and my family's favorite quick taco shop in Texas. The service is always super quick and there are many locations which is very convenient. Each month they have a "taco of the month" and they are always crafty and unique! (The whole atmosphere of this restaurant is unique and so original) This month is the Washingtonian. My go to is the chicken burrito. It's very tasty but I've had several other items as well. My daddy loves the Democrat (it's barbacoa) and the trailer park (trashy.) my favorite taco is probably the chicken fajita. We had never been to this location. We went on a weekday around 1:30 and every table was full.. we had to sit outside. We weren't thrilled but they had outdoor heaters!!! It was so nice because it was nice and toasty and a lot more calm and quiet than in the storefront. We were pleased. We will definitely be back! Forever! Viva Torchy's!! read more

I had lunch there today. I really enjoyed my meal. I tried the Fried Avocado taco and Mexican street corn. I was satisfied.

They have a different twist to their tacos. If you like your tacos spicy, this place is for you. We ordered the Queso chips, Trashy Trailer Park taco and Chicken Fajita taco. I would hold the spicy sauce next time since they over did it which ruin the true taste of the food. Long wait, slow service and mediocre food will probably keep me from coming back any time soon. We sat outside the enclosed patio and there was this large family with their kids running around and screaming on top of their lungs throughout our meal. The parents and the staff did nothing and allowed this nuisance go on throughout our meal. I'm sure it's a cultural thing that this family didn't know any better in American culture to ensure their kids behave in a restaurant setting but management should have stopped these kids from causing havoc while other patrons try to enjoy their dinner. read more

Very fun and addictive atmosphere with lots of people coming in and out. The food is great and is always filling for a good price. Since I'm vegetarian there is a amazing fried avocado taco that always hits the spot. Once again if you haven't been I heavily recommend giving them a look see! read more

Torchys was so great! atmosphere was so cool. Cashier anna was so attentive and so sweet when taking our order! will be back again!

Amazing tacos! Even better queso!!! A sweet young lady named Anna was very kind and fast when taking my order. I was recently told terrible news but meeting her made my day! read more

This place is amazing! The tacos have great flavors and atmosphere is very friendly! Definitely recommend Torchy's

Definitely going to have to try again because this place was PACCCCCKKKKED. We were on our way to a concert so we popped in here at 6 and didn't get our food until 7:00, wowzers. I asked a sweet waitress to check in on it and the manager came over, she was so nice and said they put a rush on our food, hello!!!!! So sweet. We tore it up and peaced out! Thank you torchys! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Allen, Texas

Great taco chain. The green chili queso is amazing and so are most of their tacos. My favorites are the Democrat (with barbacoa) and the Trailerpark (fried chicken). The tacos aren't cheap but they're worth it. read more

Wasn't good today, unfortunately. This is probably one of my favorite restaurants. I did curbside pickup Labor Day and I was shocked at the quality. It's usually great. Today, the chips were stale. So were the corn tortillas. They were so stale I couldn't eat most of my meal. The flour one we had was okay. We also always ask for no cilantro in the queso and still get it unfortunately. Just not a good experience today. Hope it was a one off! read more

These are the best tacos of any of the similar chains. Good atmosphere, good service. Really like the recipes they have created and the clever names for the Tacos. Must have queso as well. read more

This location gets the sauces wrong nearly every visit. Dont even bother ordering the tipsy chick- the menu is set up incorrectly and they seem to always leave it off or add the wrong one. Tipping makes absolutely no difference. Their $6 tacos arent great without their sauces. read more

Torchy's is good, but ordering delivery from this place is a nightmare. Thought I'd give it another chance, but I was let down again. Missing 3 items and drinks are incorrect. Definitely disappointed. read more

I go to school out of state. When people ask me what I miss most about Texas, I tell them Torchy's queso. It simply is the best queso in the world, and you can't change my mind. It's got a kick to it and the addition of the avocado center is to die for. The tacos are also wonderful. My favorite is the fried avocado, which if that sounds weird to you, let me tell you the combo is amazing. The democrat and trailer park are honorable mentions. The inside is also very nice and this is a great hang out spot for mid sized groups. If you go for dinner on a weekend or lunch on a weekday, expect long waits. During off hours, though, you'll be served immediately. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Chips and Queso - Tex-Mex Near Me - Allen, Texas

I would happily give this Torchy's more stars - we love every Torchy's we go to. EXCEPT the the fact that regardless of day, time of day or any other factor, it is always the longest and slowest line of any Torchy's location by a long shot. There is usually only one host at the register, and the poor souls are having to process lines that stretch into the seating area. Again, GREAT service, GREAT food. But I feel like there could be some major improvements as far as speed and efficiency. At least someone manning both registers for a start. read more

Okay, everything here was super good. We ordered the taco of the month, all-american? And another one with fried chicken w/ cheese. I don't remember what it's called, but they were both very good. We ordered the guacamole and chips and queso dip. Great portions, and the guac was amazing! The queso was amazing! Ugh, how does a girl eat it all. We went on Sunday, and the mimosas were only $3. And strong. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Dallas! read more

A popular chain in this part of Texas, Torchy's Taco is in my opinion just the bare standard for an upscale Taco joint, especially considering their price level and portion for a 'filling' meal. The service is nice, with kind staff and an upbeat mood, the mood being definitely enjoyable and with both elements of a night out with the lads or for one with that special someone; I noticed notable concentrations of both groups on one of my visits. The environment is one of enjoyment and of the people, and can't really be faulted there. The only real issue, and a characteristic one for me, was their tacos. Both tacos I ordered, the Mr.Orange and the Baja Shrimp as I recall, were messy to eat and we're falling apart before I even had a chance to pick them up. The flavor was present but uneven, and really needed the help of accompanying sauces to bring it together and round them out as a whole. For somewhere that has tacos in their name, the flavor profile and presentation just wasn't there for the price that they're charging. It was closer to that of a $2.50 taco off a food stand in the city. To put it all together, properly this time, this restaurant offers a good mood and something out of the ordinary, but the tacos are simply lacking. Come for a good time, if not good eats! read more

Ordered the shrimp taco which was great and the independent which was toooo much. The Portabello Mushroom was fried to perfection however, all the extra ingredients stole the show in a horrible way. Less is more . There were too many conflicting flavors on that taco and it was a big disappointment. Guac was on point but take the cojita cheese off please. read more

My sister suggested this for lunch and I was really impressed. We got two orders of the queso and one order of The guacamole for a group of seven and had plenty of leftovers. I ordered the Democrat and the Crossroads without jalapeño. Both were very good and I'd order them again but the Crossroads was a bit greasy. I actually liked that one more. It felt a lot nicer than the average fast food but still had all the convenience. I definitely want to come back again! read more

This is a pretty solid chain taco joint. It would get 4 stars but I did not get one of my orders. Always get the queso, it's amazing. The tacos are large compared to the street tacos you'd get in the gas station. I do prefer the gas station tacos since they are simple and less expensive. The democrat and trailer park trash are my favorites. Skip the street corn it's nothing to call home about. It had a weird sauce in it. They did forget my order of street corn which after finishing my meal I waited patiently for 15 minutes after finishing all my food. I still had to go up there and they totally forgot about us and had to make it. I'm not expecting high class service in a taco place... I just expect my food to come out and not be forgotten. All in all, this is a good place to eat. Solid food and you can get margaritas! read more

My beef fajita tacos were pretty good!!! I love their poblano ranch. But the 10 dollar margarita with no alcohol was honestly... kinda nasty.. soooo much lime and sweet and sour. I had to force myself to suck it down because well... it was 10 dollars. Overall 50 bucks for 2 margs and 4 tacos is outrageous.. if this meal was more around 30 bucks I'd have less complaints. read more

Man, this freaking place. Lost our order twice now. Hasn't ever been anywhere close to on time when they actually made our food. Good tacos but just not worth it with how unorganized this location is. There's a new one on Preston road. Maybe they know what they're doing. We've lived near 2 others which were both great. This location needs to figure it out. Just show up for your food and notice the line of frustrated people waiting around. read more

My corn tortillas on my tacos were cold. How can you eat a taco with a cold tortilla smh? Very disappointed on the tacos. Tacos seem to be pre-made. Queso and chips were the only good thing. Kids meal chicken quesadilla was good now that was made fresh nice and hot. And the sweet tea was good. This place is overrated. read more

Great tacos, but too busy at night to get orders correct. I'm not a Torchy's noob. My SO and I come here often but I've come to a conclusion. You just can't come here for dinner...or on the weekends. This is a small location compared to Plano's (not sure about other locations) and they can't handle the demand. It's pretty annoying to get online orders done wrong. I can understand if a cashier didn't hear you right but online is pretty much to the point. All my SO's tacos were missing sauce and I can't have dairy so I ordered mine with *No Cheese*. So I got cheese of course which is tough to scrape off when it's melted on. I'm hoping they plan to open another location. I think that will help things a lot. read more

Came here with my husband and brother-in-laws the Wednesday after Christmas. My husband and I have never been there before. My brother-in-laws recommended the Democrat (with beef Barbacoa). That was really the best taco we had there. Lots of meat! I also got Baja shrimp, the shrimps were fried perfectly. The Crossroad with beef brisket wasn't bad but after have Rudy's for so many meals in the past few days just can't compare. My husband really liked the Wrangler off the breakfast menu. It was a pretty big taco. The breakfast tacos are about $1 cheaper but the same size as all other tacos. We got take out which was a mistake. The oil from the Democrat tacos soaked through the paper bags. Save yourself the mess. Loved the diablo sauce. They are no joke, really spicy. Definitely coming back the next time I'm back in Texas. read more

Terrible for vegetarians. This place consistently adds bacon to my order by mistake. This is ridiculous especially for vegetarian menu items like migas. How do you guys keep messing this one up?

First of all, I love Torchy's Tacos. The 1-star is for the Allen location exclusively. They earned it on the merits if two factors. 1. Cleanliness 2. Kitchen Skills The past several times I've been here, the restaurant was full but needed bussing. There was one older hispanic lady always working, trying to bus and wipe tables getting crushed by the rush. She's fine. As she struggled, the young servers were standing at the pick up counter chatting and waiting for their orders. Horrible. That is a management issue. Time to lean = Time to clean. Then, food quality. First off, someone keeps putting tortilla chips in cold oil. How can you tell? The chips come out rubbery and shiny. If the oil is not hot enough, it will soak into the food rather than be expelled by the evaporating water vapor. Next, the carne asada was rubbery and not cut properly. All pieces were stripped but still attached to each other by unbreakable sinewy gristle. The plastic knife I got from the counter had no chance. Two trips in a row I had to wrestle with my meat at this place. Again, other locations I have not experienced this. Unfortunately, this location is my closest. read more
