Torchy's Tacos has been a fave of ours from when we lived in Austin. We were a once every other week fam. We were all excited to see it in Fort Collins when we moved here. Well - the excitement has worn off. The food isn't as good - and the service is terrible! Between the nasty attitude of the people taking your order to the nonsense it takes to get your food - never mind if you want a chips refill - forget it. It will never come. We came in tonight and paid $83 to be treated rudely - yet again - and never get our chips refilled. I will have to be desperate for the queso to come back in again. To top it all off the nookies were burnt. I should mention - Every time we go in - which is maybe once every couple of months I swear I won't return due to the service. read more

The first time I had Torchy's was in Austin, TX, so you could understand my excitement when I saw that Torchy's was coming to Fort Collins! There was a long line to order, which was to be expected for a new restaurant, but the waiting time for my food was pretty long. I had the Wrangler breakfast taco and the Democrat. The Wrangler had a good smoky flavor that immediately took me back to Texas. While the Democrat had good flavor, I probably would not get it again. I would recommend staying away from the corn tortillas, as they end up falling apart, crumbling into a big mess. The ambiance was very modern and hip. Super cool decor, clean and plenty of space for seating. One of the bigger Torchy's I've seen. The bar seems like it would be a fun place to hang out at! Will definitely be going back! read more

Torchy's Tacos, how do I love thee? Let me count the...nope, never mind, I'm just going to order more tacos! This joint had their grand opening today and it was fantastic - free food, free drinks, great intro to the Fort Collins area. I ordered a Hipster and a Matador (that's right, I go secret menu style), but not before I went to town on some chips queso, guacamole, and street corn, all topped off with a house marg on the rocks. The food was outstanding, but the atmosphere was the real star. The whole restaurant was buzzing, and the staff was 100% on top of their shit. Whether you're rolling by for chips and queso after work or grabbing a bag of breakfast tacos before you're heading into the mountains, Torchy's cannot be beat. Forget about your "big burritos", tacos are where it's at!! read more

Tacos where amazing I ordered shrimp tacos they were amazing. I also tried the salmon taco which was a litter bit much for me.

I am updating my Torchy's review, and yet I am not changing much as I'm still giving 3 stars. Per my initial review, the throng of hipsters put me off - now that we are all stuck in Coronastan, I'm free to pick up food without getting stuck in people's beards. It was am this time, so the bulk of my order consisted of eggy tacos. I really liked the bacon/egg/cheese taco - I wished for more cheese. The chorizo/egg/cheese was a letdown, because of the pedestrian chorizo. There was plenty of it (I looked because I wasn't sure) but it had about flavor as paper made in Omaha. I retried the Democrat taco - wasn't waterlogged like last time but it also benefitted from abundant hot sauce. Soooooooo . . I remain ambivalent about Torchys. It seems to be more an experience for the younger set than this codger. read more

So we came here because we have heard some great things! The first taco I got was the green Chile pork taco. It was ok not bad but just average. For 4.50 for one taco I was expecting it to be a bit bigger than Street taco size. The next taco I had was the Baja shrimp taco and THAT WAS A GOOD TACO and it was shockingly bigger than the pork one! read more

I have had 3 meals here (breakfast, tacos and salad) and all were delicious and unique. If I had any complaint, it would be that the line to order always seems slow. read more

Amazed at the service here. I have a difficult food allergy and the staff and manager went above and beyond to accommodate and ensure that I had multiple options to choose from. This is the best service I've had in a long time and far better than most dining establishments I've visited. Thank you! read more

Does anyone else think the tacos are a little gross? I've been in a few times and haven't been impressed any of the times.

I've been waiting to review Torchy's while they worked through some of their new restaurant hiccups. I'm writing this on my 4th visit since opening. The tacos are good, they are a somewhat unique tacos to Torchy's, or maybe just a lot more Texas than traditional or SoCal. There is a secret menu, and they gladly have made everything I've ordered. It's a little obvious that the people making the tacos are following a spec sheet, and don't really understand the flavors or tacos, but that should improve with experience as well. Two tacos has been plenty of food for me and I'm not petite and am very fond of tacos. Line has been 10-30 minutes on Average, then maybe 10 minutes to get your tacos after that. I expect the line to calm down with time. Overall I recommend Torchy's, it's a welcome addition to Fort Collins, especially compared to all the other new overpriced garbage at midtown. read more

They have original tacos like fried chicken but the quality is only meh. The tortillas tasted kinda stale and the chicken and shrimp were friend with what tasted like old oil. I much prefer fuzzy's over this place as it's very similar but the quality of food is much higher. read more

Service was terribly slow, took over 30 minutes for 4 tacos. Don't think I'll be coming back

Very good food and sauce is bomb ! The decoration is cute and service was good too. I'll come back again for more shrimp tacos.

Awesome food and even better service!!!! The QUESO is a MUST!!!! The staff was so kind and everything was very clean! Highly recommend and enjoy their great margaritas! read more

I ate at the bar Saturday 9/21 about 6:00 pm. Ordered the green chili pork taco. It was good, and I ordered a second one. Couldn't finish the second as stomach started cramping up. Barely made it home before evacuation started. I mentioned it after golf in CB Potts Sunday 9/22. Bartender asked if I wanted a beer and I said no thanks! Still recovering from Torchy's flu last night. She said "Oh No!, they were closed for Larimer Health inspection failure and several people getting sick last month!" Anyway, the report is in to the Larimer Health department. Who knows, it could be coincidence. If anyone else had issues eating there over the weekend, please call and report. read more

Can get busy, but very good food. Also, you can ask for more chips if you have extra queso after you finish your chips. Get the queso as "hillbilly queso" sooo good! Love this restaurant. read more

Ordered multiple tacos and loved them all. I had one with fried chicken, one with shrimp amd another with deep fried avacado. Husband ordered the pork and also loved his. Service was quick. Outside patio is perfect in the summer day's! It is a chain restaurant but its doing well. read more

Tasty trashy tacos at a high price. Oh trailer trash... with your crispy not dry chicken. You are the one for me. But wait, I want you extra trashy in my mouth, smothered in queso. But as I order more and more I believe the chefs forgot that shredded cheese is not the same gooey melted queso I've had before. Why yes waitress I did pay for extra trashy. Why no waitress the pinch of cheese is not what I wanted. Unfortunately I sound like a taco nazi when I ask for them to correct the order. And every time the waitress will tell me, " the chef said what I first gave you was extra trashy". Was it the cashier who got it wrong? Was it the chef who cheated out? Is the waitress only good for looking good? I'll never know. But 5/10 will continue to order and will continue to complain about being stuffed on queso. read more

Last night, we ordered ahead online at 6:30pm. ETA was 7:07pm (a bit slow, but not horrible). When we arrived at 7:00pm we didn't know where the "ready" food would be placed/waiting. One sign pointed to "Door Dash & Online" AND an employee said our food would be placed there when ready. 15 minutes later and still no sign of our order, we asked another employee (who was not wearing his mask over his nose) and he told us we needed to stand in line as if we were dining in. This defeats the whole purpose of ordering online if we still have to stand 2ft from other patrons, inside, who are not wearing masks. Please please train your employees how to wear masks and how to process online ordering. We did not enjoy our visit and won't be back until safety and better processes are implemented. If someone orders online, provide directions as to where their food will be waiting! read more

Nothing like waiting 25 minutes for simple chips and queso! Absurd wait times when only 3 customers were in the store.

Love the food and service. Staff is friendly and helpful. Where the management team falls flat is not ensuring there are recycling containers available to guests. They need to take responsibility and provide this. There's no excuse. read more

This place has a great environment with even better food. It has always been packed so we finally stopped in at 4pm and it was still full but we got right in and found a seat. The best part of torchys isn't how good their tacos are, but how big the portions are. What a great value this. We started with a fantastic guacamole and chips and then got tacos. I got the democrat and the green chile. The democrat had a great taste. I will be back to try every taco on the menu read more

We went here for dinner tonight. Since we are still required to wear masks due to Covid 19, we and almost everyone else in the restaurant followed that protocol. During our meal however, we noticed, when the kitchen door opened, kitchen staff was not wearing a face mask or face covering of any kind. This was disturbing to us, as we have counted on those in food preparation especially, during these covid 19 reopening days, to wear face coverings. That thought, is what has made us feel safer, during these times, when we purchase take out or eat food in a restaurant setting. Management needs to address this pronto. I am pretty sure it is local government mandated that a mask is worn by patrons and employees, especially food preparation employees. I will not return unless this is addressed and corrected. #protectyourneighbor #wearamask #covid19 read more

Ok this place is awesome. I dont say that lightly. I love everything!! The tacos are amazing I ordered the Democrat, the fried avocado taco and three different sides. All of it, ALL of it, was high quality deliciousness, but the best part of the meal was that sweet sweet corn. SOOOOO YUUUMMM. The staff was super busy, but still managed to take excellent care of us. We had a great visit and we will be back!! read more

The Mo-faux. taco, the republican taco and the pulled pork taco are AMAZING! I tried the salad which was Huge and delicious, the street corn the Paloma with spicy tequila made our meal INCREDIBLE. Love this place. read more

One of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite. Their fried avocado taco is delicious--make sure to smoother it with the poblano cream sauce. There can be a long line at lunch, the order ahead option on their website works great. read more

It was pretty busy. The lady that took our order was great very friendly and efficient. Our order was taken correctly. The kids quesadilla is street taco size. Pretty small. The people who delivered the food, were ok. No really friendly. Took little while to get our food, Not a terrible wait. Enjoyed our meal read more

Went to Torchy's yesterday on a whim--we were out and starving, and there was Torchy's! I'd never been, so I didn't know what to expect. For the uninitiated: don't be afraid to order more than one taco. Order one and a lonely (albeit beautiful) taco arrives in your basket. My companions' basket looked much more satisfying with two tacos within. That being said, we got chips and guacamole. Firstly, the chips were so thin you could see through them if you held them up to the light, and they were just the right saltiness. Secondly, I don't think I've ever run out of chips before running out of guacamole. The serving of guacamole was incredibly generous and perfect to share amongst the three of us. I got an Independent which was heavily dominated by sauce, but the slaw provided a good balance. Drippy, so don't skimp on the napkins! Sidenote: I've never seen a black toilet, but if you're looking for one, you can use one at Torchy's. read more

First time trying Torchy's. The tacos were as advertised-very good. Recommend getting two kids tacos if you get two for yourself. One taco just isn't enough for a hungry kid. Kids loved them though! Would definitely go back again and again! read more

Torchy's quickly became a staple of our going-out diet in Fort Collins. They have a simple menu: Tacos. Order all different kinds of tacos with every filling you can think of, Chicken, Vegetarian, Seafood. My personal favorites are the Fried Avocado taco, the Trailer Park (Fried Chicken) Taco, and the Catfish taco. Also the Queso dip is sizeable and a must-have! read more

Eh. We love Torchys but this visit wasn't all that good. They served the tacos on the wrong tortilla types and the Mexican street corn was cold. read more

Was in Fort Collins and saw this place. Knew I had to go here since I used to visit in Texas all the time when I was stationed in Oklahoma. It's just as great as I remembered it. I got two tacos and some chips and salsa. Didn't get any margaritas because I didn't want to get too sassy for lunch. Great place! read more

It's a little pricey, but it's mostly worth it. Their queso is phenomenal and every taco I've tried is quality. The Brushfire is my favorite, but the sauce is HOT. They have pretty great variety of tacos that compliment each other well. They also have a "secret" menu that has different tacos that are pretty great! All you have to do is ask the cashier. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Their green chile queso is the bomb. A little pricey, but super good. Just shy of $6 - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I don't eat Mexican food often. I usually can't tell the difference. My colleague wanted to try this place. I was pleasantly surprised that I really like the food. We came during lunch hour. This place was quite busy. There were many interesting tacos. I had fried catfish and green chili pork. I liked the crunchy catfish taco. The flour tortillas was a little too chewy. But It was bursting with flavors. There are indoor and outdoor seating and a bar. I actually will come back and try something different. read more

Torchys has the best tacos! All of their dishes are very creative, high quality, and taste great! The flavor combinations are interesting yet still good. They also have cane sugar soda and good salsa. I definitely enjoy coming here at least once a month! I highly recommend it. read more

Ben went above and beyond today! Go ben! We ordered a whole mess of tacos to be ready at 7 am and found out that they don't open till 8. The manager said no problem and had the tacos ready for our work Saturday !!!! They are delicious and hot and fresh and all is perfect. Thank you torchys and manager ben. You have earned our business. read more

God, I wish I could give negative stars. OK so the tacos are slightly -verrrrrrrrry slightly- upscaled (and overpriced) 'street-style' tacos that were absolutely no better than the street style tacos I get up the street at Taqueria Los Comales. One more reason to support a LOCAL business instead of a corporate chain from Texas. Ew. Gross. But really, I wouldn't have a beef with these people if they didn't come into my city and SUE my favorite not-street-style-more-kinda-quirky taco place, Dam Good Tacos, for their name somehow interfering with the Torchy's slogan and it apparently confusing customers. Who is confused? I'm not confused. I'm not a native but I've lived in Northern Colorado for the past 21+ years. I went to Poudre High School. I've spent the majority of those 21 years living in Fort Collins. I KNOW the reference that "Dam Good Tacos" is making. Does Torchy's? Probably not, since familiarization with local culture apparently means absolutely nothing to them. Skip this too-expensive, crummy corporate chain restaurant and go anywhere else in town. Preferably somewhere local. I am heartbrokenly excited to see what Dam Good will rename the business, since the corporate leviathans won once again and Dam Good is being forced to rename the place. I will NEVER again eat at Torchy's, and I will ALWAYS call Dam Good Dam Good, because that's who they are and what their name should be. It is unbelievable to me that this actually went down. Torchy's Tacos will never be "damn good" in Fort Collins. They're absolutely scum. read more

Gentleman who was working the counter was so surprised and equally supportive of me ordering 5 tacos for myself that he was able to give me a free shirt if I finished them all in one sitting. Needless to say, I love my new shirt and I love that guy, I didn't get his name but he had glasses, a beard, and a stellar attitude. TORCHY'S IS THE BOMB. Every taco I had was different and equally delicious! This is THE spot for tacos read more

Craving Mexican food while in FoCo so we used Yelp for a recommendation. Was disappointed in our meal. We had a burrito that was just okay and not that impressed with it. The beef fajitas faired the same. Was definitely expecting more flavorful food. read more
