    Green chili queso
    Stephen W.

    It had been several years since I visited this restaurant, but we were in the mood for tacos and did not want to spend $100 for dinner so we decided to give this place a try. This experience was really good. You order at the cashier and they bring the food to your table. It was fast service. We had the green chili queso which, based on my previous review, is really good. I was not wrong. The queso is excellent, not too spicy but very flavorful. I had a chicken fajita taco and it was excellent. The chicken was tender and had a deep smokey flavor. For $5 it was a deal. The salsa verde was really spicy but I got mine on the side so I could portion it myself. That's one tasty taco! The wife had the Republican, which is a brisket taco. She loved hers too. The meat was tender and smoky, The only downside to the meal was the combo of rice and beans which we got for the kid. It was too spicy for her. I tried the rice and it was spicy. She did not eat much. That is the reason for 4 stars and not 5. They need a kid's menu with spice levels toned down a bit. Overall, I saved about $100 over what we would spend at our usual Mexican restaurants. We enjoyed the food. We will be back.

    Wait time is ridiculous when they only had a couple of guests when I arrived around 10:15 am.

    Called to place an order because I don't feel comfortable giving any financial/personal information to an AI bot. I talked to a person who took my order but she put me on hold for 8min. When she finally responded, she confirmed my order and hung up. When I arrived, the manager said he'd put my order in because she didn't put the order in. This defeats the whole purpose of "to-go". This is the second time I've had to deal with this type of service from Torchy's in the last year. Then the manager told me "why I was yelling at him". I would check the cameras, because I wasn't yelling, I was talking over the loud music by the bar. There are better taco places out there in Dallas.

    Baja and bad santa tacos
    Jennifer P.

    Came here after the holiday at the arboretum at night nearby. Had seen this place on instagram and stopped in. We got here about an hour before closing which I assume is why it was not amazing. When we got there they were already closing down parts of the resturant. The staff was nice and patient with us as we had never been here and did not know what to order. We got a trailer park trashy, baja shrimp, some kind of bourbon taco (it is not on the menu and I lost our receipt) and the taco of the month which was bad santa. We ordered a bean and cheese taco for kidlet. I was bummed that this is just tacos a la carte. I wish they had a platter where you could get 2 tacos and a side or two. I found the tacos expensive for what you get. While I appreciate that they have interesting flavors and combinations $5 a taco for what you get isn't really worth it (in my opinion). Our food was also barely warm. Kidlet's taco was cold and you could tell as the cheese was not melted and sure enough we felt it and it was not warm in the slightest. Also since this is the first and last one I have ever been in I am not sure if this is common at all of them but they look very unfinished. Lots of exposed beams and wood projects that look like they were just thrown up. Very little effort put into decor. I mean I was there for food and not decor but it was odd. I can now say I have eaten here but wouldn't go out of my way to eat at one if it was nearby.

    Veggie Avocado Tacos and Churros

    While visiting from CA, found this near the Dallas Arboretum. We were looking for a Quick, No frills, TexMex sit down place that was not just a taqueria , and this met every part of it. Awesome food, with. Vegetarian options that my wife enjoyed. And if you are looking for top shelf drinks at a reasonable price, this place has a great selection of those as well.

    Bowl was half empty too

    Worst Torchys in existence. I never right reviews but after today I had to. DO NOT order online, the staff is literally incompetent and messed up my order 3 times while I was waiting in store. Finally received food 30 minutes after the s scheduled time

    CHEERS!

    Never knew Torchy's Tacos on Garland Road was so large and inviting. The bar area is a great place to meet neighbors and make new friends. I went last night to see a gal pal and we ended up laughing our way through the evening with a fun group of customers. SHOUT OUT to the bartender Rita "As in Margarita" she told us - easy to remember. She's been there 8 years, starting with four in the kitchen and then moving out to behind the cool bar. She was very efficient, chatted up the customers a little, kept the bar area clean and did it all with a friendliness that was pretty amazing since she's pregnant! THIS woman deserves to be moved into management: organized; hard working; smart. What are you waiting for Torchy's???? Give Rita a raise and a promotion!!! Lived over here for over 2 decades and never made it across the street (from Chili's) but I certainly will be BAAACK! Thanks Rita for a fun evening at Torchy's!

    Trailer Park and Fried Avocado
    Melanie T.

    Torchy's was a great place for tacos and chips and queso. The queso was full of flavor and it wasn't bland. This was a nice appetizer to chomp on while waiting for our tacos to arrive. Also props to the chips for having enough salt that they taste great to eat on their own. I ordered the trailer park and fried avocado taco. The Trailer Park taco was delicious. I enjoyed the fried chicken in a taco with all of options. It just ended up tasting wonderfully. And the fried avocado was a fantastic contrast to the fried chicken. It was a nice change in texture that wasn't disgusting. So very delicious.

    We are more than ready to try Dec 2023 special
    Doug C.

    Fear not we have eaten several times at Torchy's in last year just in Colllin county. We only get to this location once a year for an errand. They didn't disappoint as the tacos were super great. I got the Dec 2023 special see photo. Constant nr. of customers dining in and take out. More need to review as it deserves higher marks.

    Dear Chilangos Management Team, I am a long-time patron of…read moreyour restaurant, frequently bringing my employees to dine with you two to three times a month. Unfortunately, our last two visits have been highly disappointing, and I wanted to bring this to your attention. During our visit today, we noticed a significant drop in the quality of the ribeye steak. The meat was tough, chewy, and lacked flavor. Given how frequently we dine here, the change was highly noticeable. Have you recently changed your meat providers or specifications for this cut? Additionally, as someone who works within a restaurant group, I must express concern regarding your beverage pricing. The current rates for water and soda are exceptionally high--to the point where my team now opts out of purchasing drinks entirely. I strongly encourage you to consider adjusting these to a more reasonable rate, or at the very least, proactively offering complimentary iced tap water. We truly love your restaurant and want to continue supporting you. I share this feedback in the spirit of helping your kitchen maintain its excellent standards. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Chris L.

There are multiple locations in DFW, and this review is for the Chilangos in Dallas off of Ross. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The two Chilangos locations I've been to are both located in strip malls with a bright, neon "Chilangos Tacos" sign above the entrance. Inside, there's reggaeton music, tons of patrons, and ESL here. Once you place your order, grab a Jarritos, a bright red metal seat, and watch the staff cook your tacos to order. 1 Star. Service - The staff are very friendly and efficient. It really helps if you speak Spanish, so go with someone who does, or point to the menu item you want. Once you place your order, grab a seat and wait for your name to be called. The staff is super nice and efficient, and our order was available in about 5 min. 1 Star. Food - Birria Quesatacos with consume. Memorize it and order it. Kudos to my son who swears by this dish. I am now a believer. The tender seasoned shredded birria beef is so flavorful. The quesataco style melts the cheese into the corn tortilla. And when you take some diced onion and cilantro to top it, dunk it in the consume before biting into the most flavorful taco served in DFW. According to the menu, this dish is only available on the weekend, but I've used food deliver services to get my consume fix during the week so YMMV. Bottom line, it's not just the best item on the menu, it's the best taco bite in all of DFW. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Chilango Tacos is expanding in DFW. There are now multiple locations in all of DFW so there should be a location near you. Chilangos Tacos is now in my weekly rotation. 1 Star.

The surrounding neighborhood, however, was a pleasant surprise. It's a trendy, energetic pocket of Dallas that I had somehow never explored before, and it immediately caught my attention. The restaurant itself is quite unassuming. If I'm being honest, it didn't exactly scream "come on in." On this particular night, there was only one employee working. It took nearly 10 minutes just to place my order and another 15 minutes before the food arrived. By that point, I was more than a little annoyed. Then the tacos showed up. Talk about a complete plot twist. Not only was everything beautifully presented, but the flavors were absolutely unbelievable. Whenever I visit a taco spot, I like to order a variety so I can get a sense of what they're really capable of. This time it was the al pastor, carne asada, and Baja tacos. One word....incredible. I can't tell you which one was best! I've had great tacos before. I've had places nail one or two selections. But I honestly can't remember the last time three completely different tacos all delivered a perfect punch in a single sitting. Every bite was packed with flavor, expertly balanced, and memorable in its own way. Without question, this was the best taco trio I've ever had. What a roller coaster of a visit. I went from feeling completely ignored and wondering if I'd made a mistake, to wanting to walk back into the kitchen and hug the chef. Sometimes great food doesn't just redeem an experience--it completely rewrites it. The Taco stand is GOATED
