    Chips Only
    Emily M.

    Very good! Went in Texas and was excited to have one in Virginia! Food is great. If it says it is! You can request that they leave off the spicy stuff and sauce. Very nice people working here.

    Happy Cinco de Mayo! A buddy of mine in from Brussels really missed tacos and Torchy's in Charlottesville served as the de facto taco place for this meetup. The chips were salted and the salsa was ever so subtly spicy. I ordered a Torchy's Paloma. This drink uses Exotico's habanero infused 100% pure agave tequila and some grapefruit juice was mixed to make a solid CdM libation. Very tasty. The Taco of the Month here was the Tokyo Drifter. The TD has teriyaki glazed pulled pork and topped with a fresh and tangy sweet & sour veggie slaw and cilantro on a flour tortilla. It was a meh...the pulled pork wasn't that tender on this particular visit. I also tried the Mr. Orange, the salmon wasn't as blackened as I've had once upon a time. Also it may have been slightly overdone. but the black bean and grilled corn relish was piled on along with the corika cheese. It was also not as good as I've had. Finally, I tried the Cross Roads taco. This is Torchy's Texas brisket taco. It has onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and avocado, dizzled with tomatillo sauce. It has the potential, but the dry brisket lacks the punch. There's a lot of flavor that the tacos at Torchy's tries out...so work out well, others less so. The service was good. Our orders came to us well before the buzzers went off. The tables were bussed as we finished our meals so we didn't have to struggle with empty baskets. I always enjoy their unique aguas frescas, like their strawberry hibiscus, limonada, and mango...yes, they have soad if you want, too. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. On a mild night like to ight outdoor seating was refreshing.

    Their tacos were decent I like the fact that it's got a kick. Their breakfast burritos were interesting and Hearty

    Wow! Torchy's blew me out of the water. I went in the other day on a Thursday, when I was having a bad day. I'd had a horrible headache and was just hoping for a cheesey cure, and was met with the friendliest service and great food. The servers are not only great, they're kind, thoughtful, and attentive. You never realize how much of a difference that can make until it happens! The food is excellent too. I'm a favorite of the breakfast tacos, which you can customize to you own specifications. The egg and cheese with onions is my favorite! And the chips and queso is a can't miss, the perfect level of spice and cheesy goodness. I can't wait to come back here for a Happy Hour and try their margaritas! I can't wait to see more from Torchys, and I want to thank everyone here for making me feel so welcome!

    Cute little taco shop located in this shopping center. I ordered a few things to go and it seemed to take longer than I expected. They were pretty busy for a Tuesday night though. There is a bar located inside so you can order drinks to wash down your food with. The food itself was decent. Nothing special, but not bad either. It is a bit pricey though.

    Food was fire, but I wanted a corn tortilla and specifically asked, but they still gave me a flour tortilla

    Charlottesville staple for a la carte made to order tacos. Eat in or carry out. Tad overwhelming having a big group with 80% first timers. Order off menu or (not so) secret menu. "Trashy" removes lettuce and adds queso. Gotta pay for chips/salsa. We enjoyed our food but price point was tad high considering $80 (w tip) for 5 people and majority still hungry after. Recommend 3 tacos per person. Bar bevs available.

    This place is very good, especially if you want something different and enjoy tacos. I ordered 2 of the salmon tacos and 1 plant based one (MaFaux). Both were very good and the service was quick and friendly. Raz was friendly and very helpful.

The El Pastor is incredible. Best Mexican Food no joke. The queso Birria is to die for. I come here at least five times a month. You must come and check this place out if you're looking for a good Mexican food.

    Went to the new location and I have to say, I was really disappointed. The new place is GREAT…read more But the food was average at best. I ordered a pork tamale. It was flavorful but it was hard and the pork seemed old and dry. Maybe it was recycled or maybe they microwaved it to death. But I could not finish it. It was authentic but it was not what you would want to serve. I debated taking it back to the counter. I ordered two tacos. They are usually great. Today, nope. The Cabrito was okay today and the carnitas a little fatty. But the most disappointing thing is that they were not hot. Maybe they died in the window, but dead they were when they hit my table. The only thing saving the experience was the tostada...and the homemade tortillas on the tacos. All fresh. Even the signature sauce stand was different. The sauces today seemed very runny compared to how they usually present. I did get a fountain Pepsi and it was perfect. Overall, love the new spot and the decor. I will go back because i live their food. Assuming today was just an off day.

The service is okay, it's the type of restaurant where you order at the counter and receive a number for your table so your food can be delivered. If you need anything you have to find someone or flag down an employee and you're also expected to clean your table before leaving. All of your hot sauces and extras are inside which is nice because you can choose how much and which types you want for your food. The ambiance is definitely five stars if you choose to sit outside on a beautiful day. Plenty of outside tables and seats to choose from!

    Parking is shared with local businesses so very convenient and walk able. If you've had tacos in…read moreTexas, you've had these tacos - just priced for downtown Charlottesville prices. A vegetarian would be happy here but maybe not a vegan. A person who only eats breakfast will be overjoyed to see eggs on the menu. They have an hibiscus drink you should try for variety's sake. I'd also get the hand pressed tortillas when on offer and free yourself from flour. Service is ordering at the pass and they drop off the food. Ambiance is medium to loud depending on the time of day. Give the patio a try then go for a walk around for a bit before getting back in the car. Also, the fan in the bathroom sounds like a death metal band at sound check.
