I always love Torchy's Tacos not matter what location I visit; however, I have to say this visit was not my favorite. A friend and I took a quick break from some work we were doing and thought it was a good idea to run over to Torchy's. The restaurant was busy but not out of line busy, the line to order was moving along just right. After we ordered, we were advised that it could be 10-15 min wait. I was fine with that time frame so we decided to walk across the parking lot to another store. We came back in like 20 min and our food was not ready, we were not particularly happy or mad about it, but when 20 additional minutes passed I was not so happy. Once we get our order we check the bag, the order was not complete and when the server opened my taco she actually touched it with her hands. It took another 15 or so minutes for the order to be complete. I understand that when you are busy it is hard to keep things moving fast, but there was no courtesy or apology for the delay. I am still a fan of the place but I had to share this feedback, customer service is really what keeps you going as a business. I have waited at many establishments because the staff was very sincere and communicated with customers. read more

This was my first time at Torchy's...I wouldn't say the experience was great. We did happen to go on cinco de Mayo so that could have been the problem. I was super excited about the place, however we waited over 30 minutes for our food. I went up to follow up on the order because restaurant goers around us and line had already received theirs. There was no explanation why it hadn't been brought to our table but when I did get the tacos they were cold and unappealing. I would definitely go again because the flavors were great (even cold) but this was not a great experience at this location. read more

I ordered a trailer park taco, the scallywag without cilantro, and street corn. My favourite was the scallywag. It had a good amount of shrimp and the flavour with all the sauces and toppings was perfect. Trailer park was good. Wasn't super special, but the chicken was fresh and juicy. Street corn was horribly salty. Salty to the point it was pretty much inedible. I thought about taking it home and adding more corn to it to help with the salt, but it is so salty I feel like i would need 2-3 cans of corn to fix it, and the flavour isn't worth making it last that long. I couldn't even taste any of the ingredients other than the salt. It does look like they used fresh corn to make this, but it's a shame I couldn't really taste it. Since it was the last thing I ate, it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Rather disappointing. The service was a bit slow and the lady at the register seemed quite curt. If I only ordered the tacos I would've given 4 stars. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Street corn (way too salty), Trailer Park, and Scallywag - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been to Torchy's a dozen times in the past few years yet I've only ever ordered two things. Queso and trashy trailer park. Why fix something when it's not broken? The queso is just magical liquid gold and I probably only like the trashy trailer park because it has some of that same queso drizzled over a perfectly fried piece of chicken. A few negatives: parking in the village now costs money. It's metered parking everywhere (absurd). There are also never any available seats which can be frustrating. read more

They never disappoint you. Any meal! These days my favorite meal is breakfast. I love their veg taco and it is priced cheap, high quality, very filling.. Most value for $ Don't miss their queso with chips whenever you... Also, remember to pickup a bottle of Diablo sauce. Very useful in the kitchen and it adds flavor to almost everything. read more

Wish I could of tasted the tacos. Waited 40 minutes. Pretty short and snappy staff. Asking for a refund now Don't come here unless you have an hour plus. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Top: The Democrat. Bottom: Fried Avocado. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Waited 40 minutes for my order (2 tacos). I had somewhere to be and had to leave. Instead of being told my tacos were next in queue I was given a refund. Only to find out my tacos were being wrapped for to-go. Instead of rectifying the situation by either a.) running my card again or b.) comping the food, I got a shrug and eye roll from the lady at the counter. The food is great and in the past I had used his Torchy's to cater multiple lunches. Due to this experience they not only lost my business today, but also in the future. Tip to management. Treat your customers with respect rather than acting as if we are a burden. I understand that sometimes there will be a wait, but when a customer approaches you in a kind inquiring manner show empathy not irritation. read more

Very bad customer service, waited more than 15 minutes for a taco, after we receive our food everything was messed up, food was prepared really badly, meat out of the tortilla, won't recommend. People smoking electronic cigarettes inside the location making the eating experience the worst. read more

I've been to three Torchy's in Houston (this one, Shepherd location, and Westchase area location) and this one is my favorite between the three in terms of taste. So for location, it's not the easiest to park at because... Rice Village is very tight. The garage is probably the best bet to park at. The establishment is also kind of small, likely due to being in a tight area. That means seating can be limited when it gets really busy. I've never had to wait too long to find a place to sit (maybe 10-15 minutes max when it's busy). I typically come here with my family. We share a half and half order of queso and guac-- both being very solid here. I do think the queso, the past couple of times that I've gone, is more watery than I'd like. I usually order the Democrat (barbacoa + avocado) or the breakfast tacos. I've never been disappointed in anything that I ordered here. The meat is always flavored well and tasty. Portion wise... it's a taco, haha. It's pretty filling. My personal thing I like to do is order 1 taco with corn tortilla. You get two tortillas with corn tortilla and then I'd split the filling in half to basically have two tacos. The staff and service have been nice and accommodating. Overall, I definitely think going to Torchy's is a solid option for anyone new to town or if you're not sure what to eat. If my Asian parents who don't like too many other foods like this place, that must mean something! read more

Oh my GOD. This little small place is off the chain. Great food, great customer service. I can not say ANYTHING BAD about Torchys. I want to go every day. Food is really good, chips and the different dip is off the chain. I just don't understand why they put these meters up. Oh well I love this place. read more

For my first review as part of the Elite (thank you, Yelp!), I had to write about something meaningful. To me, that means Torchy's Tacos. It has come a long way since the original trailer in a shady lot in Austin, where I spent my most carefree days as a college student. Every taco is stuffed with mouth-watering, quality ingredients, so hold your complaints about the price (~$3-4 each). I recommend the Democrat for first timers, or try the Brushfire if you don't mind a burning sensation in your mouth. I usually order the Trailer Park, trashy, which replaces lettuce with queso. On my last particular visit, I asked the guy at the counter if I could get it with queso, but still keep the lettuce (I'm trying to maintain a balanced diet). He answered, "Of course! We call that the Britney Spears. A little trashy, a little classy." I could've kissed him right then and there. Britney Spears was EVERYTHING in my childhood, and I will fiercely defend her to this day, shaved head or not. Come at me, haters. The amazing green chile queso has guacamole MIXED IN. I am consumed by you, queso. Don't you know that you're toxic? The street corn really packs a punch, but...hit me baby, one more time. Lil' Nookies- chocolate chip cookie dough, deep fried, dusted with powdered sugar. I'm a slaaaaave for you. I cannot hide it; I cannot control it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I feel the same passion and loyalty for Torchy's as I do for Britney. They shaped me during defining periods of my life, when I was not a girl, not yet a woman. read more

Overhyped and overpriced trash is the best I can describe this. What is it that people like here? Is it the fact that all of their breakfast tacos have egg as a main ingredient in them? Is it the fact that they have silly little names for their tacos? Let's start with something as simple as walking in and ordering. When we arrived, we literally could not walk in the doorway because the line was out of the building. Unlike some people, I will not judge this as a sign that the food is good. I've been burned too many times. The two simply don't correlate, and yes this is annoying to do for cheap-o quality food. I don't mind waiting to eat at a nice place, but this ain't a nice place. On a related note, I'm waiting in line, and I realize just how packed this restaurant is. They definitely do not have enough room in their space for the amount of tables in there. It's like a maze walking through the tables and chairs. Awesome, crammed into a sardine can for my meal is exactly what I like. I finally got to order, and chose the Green Chile Pork Taco and Beef Fajita taco. I knew to ask them to hold the peppers and pico de gallo because they like to load the tacos with these vegetables, and give skimpy amounts of meat (found that out by sampling from a friend before). I also decided to get some chips and queso with a soft drink. Total amount spent? About 16 bucks. Yep, 3.25-4.50 per taco will do that. The person who took my order was relatively nice, but puzzled me when they asked if I wanted something called "street corn" (I know, gross sounding) with my meal. I asked them if it was free with my order, and she said, "No, it's extra." Well, I didn't ask for it, and it's not free, so why would you ask me if I want it? You going to ask me if I want beans and rice too? Trying to upsell me is lame. Please don't do this, because these are techniques used by sleazy used car salesmen. Soda fountain was good. Made from sugar cane, yum. The chips were warm and queso was really GOOD. There is where the two star rating comes in. My only small complaint here was the odd lump of guacamole placed in the middle. No thanks, I ordered queso, not guacamole. This is typical of what non-Mexican, Anglo-Americans think they need to do with pretty much all dishes to fancy them up (LET'S ADD GUAC TO FREAKIN' EVERYTHING!), but it's simply not needed. I got my tacos delivered to me without much of a wait. Thanks, guys! I wish I could say good things about the tacos, but I simply can't. They are mediocre at best. First HUGE mistake. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT give me small crappy store-bought tortillas! I understand because you're putting avocados in everything and calling your tacos clever little names like "The Republican" that you think tortillas should be an afterthought, but no no no, it is flat-out insulting to have a catch phrase that says "Damn Good Tacos", charge me over 4 bucks for a single, and then have the audacity to give me tortillas off of a grocery store shelf. Even Taco Cabana has a machine that can make decent homemade-style flour tortillas. There is no excuse for this, and if you wouldn't know what to do with a comal if it came and burned you right in the face, you have no business opening up a taco shop. The meat (which is the staple of the taco, not bell peppers and pico de gallo guys), was decent, but nothing to rave about. They like to add a lot of shredded cheese to their tacos (somebody's been watching Old El Paso ads, eh?), and I cannot complain about that, but the fajitas tasted more like a they were thawed and warmed in a microwave than marinated and sizzling on a smokey grill. The pork was relatively dry. Lastly, the "El Diablo" sauce I asked for was not that spicy. I got the same spiciness from the queso earlier in my meal. Please don't call yourself "Torchy's", have your hottest sauce called "El Diablo", and make it tame. Overall, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE, stay away from this place. Want something good for this price? Go to Taco Palenque in Gulf Gate or one of the numerous places in the East End. read more

I've been to this Torchy's a million times, but I never thought to review it...UNTIL I TRIED THEIR GREEN CHILI QUESO. OH. MY. GOD. I'm a queso fanatic. And I don't mean that Velveeta stuff (though I'm guilty of loving that too). I usually get my queso fix from Trudy's special queso in Austin, but after trying Torchy's green chili queso, I officially bestow them with the "Seher" (food equivalent of an Oscar) of Best Queso in Town. It's got all the goods - queso, guac, a little bit of green salsa, and a spiciness I can't deny. Aside from the queso, these are probably also my favorite tacos in town. They're huge, have a ton of ingredients in each one, and are just down right delicious. My favorites are coincidentally the ones that have a political affiliation - The Democrat, The Republican, and The Independent. Although I'll refrain from disclosing my political beliefs, I will disclose that The Democrat is my favorite of the three. It's filled with barbacoa, avocado, cilantro, onions, and salsa on the side. I'm also a huge fan of the Fried Avocado taco. It reminds me a little bit of Trudy's Stuffed Avocado entree, but in taco form aka my favorite thing inside another one of my favorite things. How could I say no? The Trailer Park Trashy and Baja Shrimp are also really good. I basically can't imagine not liking a taco at Torchy's. You can't go wrong. Yes, the parking sucks. But it pretty much sucks all around the Rice Village area. But what really sucks, is the service. Awful. Seriously. I am still giving Torchy's 5 stars because the food is that good, but man the service could definitely improve. The waiters/bussers are rude, the line is incredibly slow, and the staff even gave us some really bad 'tude the last time we were there. Oh, and it's impossible to get a table if you're coming at a peak time. The waiter suggested we sit outside when it was 35 degrees out and the heat lamps were off. Uh, I escaped Chicago in the winter for a reason yo. read more

I was a little upset I missed the soft opening, but I visited the next day. The inside decor is really thoughtful, alot of attention to detail! Unfortunately this restaurant has a Cigar Smoke Shop next door- what that means to the person eating at torchy's is that: The inside air smells of stale cigarette smoke. I closed my eyes and it reminded me of eating inside one of those poorly ventilated casinos off-the strip. Now, for the food- I will not make a firm decision today. They may still be training the staff on the proper ratios of ingredients for the tacos and chili con queso. They were however heavy on the salt, and that to me is inexcusable. I will be back in 1 month and give it another try- for now, the location on Shepherd is the true star. read more

Came when it was closed but ran into Nathanial NOT to be mistaken for Nate (Big No-No ... so sad) I asked him "where duh cheese at?" He said thrown out butttttt I can go across the street to Gogi Truck. So we went to Gogi truck anddddd that shit was muh fuckin delishish (spelt like that) sooooo because of the suggestion Torchy's get a 5 star review, how bow dah? Sidenote- I hope to Cash Nathanial oussside again soon. Xoxo love always -Ralph @djralpheyralph on IG & ChristianMingle Hollaaaa read more

The tacos were alright but way too small for the price, sauce was a huge miss and my bacon was a bit cold. Not only that.. We had to sit outside and the wait time was horrendous.. We waited almost 20 minutes for two freaking bite size tacos that were not worth the price. Service is nonexistent, too many hipsters, not enough seating and food left outside so the sparrows can pick at. Huge tree with a few patio tables covered in bird crap. Empty tables inside were dirty to the max with 15 mins gone by of no bus boy.. Bad!! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Not worth the price, way too small and not savory. Potato sautéed in sauce is over powering the entire taco.. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

There are definitely enough reviews painstakingly describing each menu offering, so I'll keep this concise: These are the best hipster/gringo, non-authentic-Mexican tacos and salsas I've ever had. And, as my friend Karen N. has said, that's a one sentence review you can take to the bank. read more

I'd heard great things about this place before visiting Houston -- it definitely delivered and then some! I got the breakfast tacos and fried avocado taco. I'm a vegetarian and didn't feel that there were any issues ordering from the menu -- they had a lot of options. We got there around 11 AM, so I was afraid they wouldn't be serving breakfast tacos anymore. Apparently they serve them all day! Score! They were so tasty. There was a line but it moved quickly. There's seating outside too, which is great when the weather is nice. Overall, I'd definitely come back and visit again! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Fried avocado and breakfast tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

Who doesn't love tacos??? So I've been here a couple times going back to when they just opened in Rice village a couple years ago to grabbing breakfast tacos two days go. My favorite thing about this place is the friendly service!! They always go above and beyond to make sure that everything's fine. As for the food, I can speak only for the vegetarian items on their menu. Out of the fried avocado, dirty sanchez, and the independent, my favorite is the fried avocado. All their tacos are quite filling and so its worth the price!! One of my go-to treat here is their street corn!! Its the yummiest way to eat sweet corn :) :). If you've not tried it yet, please do soon!! Their breakfast tacos are a little more than the traditional egg and cheese, and the addition of crispy corn tortilla strips to their migas breakfast taco takes it to another level. I will keep coming back to Torchy's to get my taco-fix!! Also, the lines get pretty long here on the weekends, so be prepared for it!! read more

Torchy's is pretty much the golden standard for tacos in Houston. The line frequently extends into the street, and at times it can seem like fans of Torchy's are part of a cult. On the other hand, I don't think the Torchy's hype is unwarranted. The tacos available here are wildly varied and chips get refilled for free. Personally, the Trailer Park, the Republican, and the Mr. Pink are all pretty darn good. While I sometimes wish the portions were larger, it's hard to beat Torchy's when it comes to taste. For the money, it's entirely worth it. I highly recommend Torchy's. Even if you don't like tacos, Torchy's is one of those places that is so well known and highly regarded that going at least once is practically obligatory. I also suspect that once you've gone, you'll keep coming back. read more

I said fck it today I'm try them again...today was random not busy, I order, request for bushfire on flour tortilla, that seems to go smoothly. I pay, get change now just wait for my food. I wait and wait then I start getting annoyed like why did I do this again?! Know darn well it take them forever! When it finally came shits was cold and slopped in a corn tortilla! Smfh grrr I just tossed it. They should mail me my money back. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Cold bushfire more like bushshit - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

I freaking love Torchy's Tacos and really believe that they have THE BEST salsa in town. "The Independent" and "The Fried Avocado" are the only two items I order and have ever had from Torchy's and are the only two that don't contain meat, I believe. I love Avocado and they both come with just enough for my taste! Their unique sodas are awesome too! I always try something different and have fell in love with the vanilla creme and the Blueberry soda. The parking at this Torchy's is DUMB and I just suggest you street park and walk. That's really going to be your best bet. IF you are coming for lunch, I suggest you arrive at like 11 am because that 11:30-Noon crowd is NO JOKE and you will be waiting in line outside. Locating seating isn't that easy either but they tables are cleaned at a rapid pace. There is outdoor seating available also. There were "newbies" at the counter the day a couple of girlfriends and I went and I order was totally screwed up. Make sure to check your receipt before you leave the counter to ensure all is well. Great place to eat and chill for a quick meal. The Shepard location seems to have a lot less traffic. The Heights location has a bar!! read more

This place makes some pretty good tacos and then decor is pretty cool. It's basically a place you can stay and have a quick bite or just get your meal to go. The employees were really nice with helping you figure out what you want especially if it's your first time! I like all the drink in the fountain machine, I can't even pick which one was the best because they were all pretty good! The prices are bad either! Try this place if your in the area, or the other locations! Also don't forget to tell them to make your taco "Trashy" read more

Great tacos, great queso, great guacamole. Will for sure keep coming back again and again. read more

I usually frequent the Torchys on Shepard when I am in the mood for fried avocado or ahi tuna tacos, but I met my brother at the new Rice Village location this time. Its super nice on the inside (well, for essentially a fast food place), but it is SMALL. There is very little seating. We went on a Saturday mid morning (around 11), had to wait outside in line (hot) and then wait for seating. Id say this is really the only downside to the place. The staff was friendly as expected, and the food was spot on to the Shepard location. My taco recommendations: MR PINK (this isnt your ordinary fish taco, it has an actual blackened ahi tuna filet on it, its sooo yummy!) The Independent: fried portabello mushroom? end of story The Dirty Sanchez: yeah its got eggs, but who says thats only for breakfast?! The pickled carrots are so good too. The Guac: I dont know what they do to this stuff, but its like crack to me. Fresh, a little chunky, and doesn't need a thing. So good! So I would say go to this location on non-peak hours if you can. If not, just be prepared to wait a bit! read more

I really wish I liked Torchys. However, my opinion, is the most overrated spot in rice village. Food isn't bad, but I wouldn't say it's great either. They have some nice flavors, but everything is so heavily masked with spice and fat that it's hard for it not to taste good. Personally, I feel like there is a lot going on in each taco so that you don't have to taste the mediocracy of the individual ingredients. After eating more than one taco I always feel sick to my stomach, despite my efforts to avoid things that usually make me feel ill. Paying $3-$5 a taco is also asking a bit much, especially when I find it hard to beat a 99 cent taco from local taquerias. Further more, I have never received even average service here. The staff is always in a rush and doesn't seem to care much about the customer experience. I suppose it is so popular that they don't need to worry much about keeping their business, but I'm very turned off by this. Another interesting thing about torchys is the way they have their line set up. There is very little space to wait inside, to the line does out the door along the street by the building. This is a great marketing ploy, honestly, because even if there are only 5 people in line it looks like people are lining up out the door. If people are waiting outside, is must be that good? Right?! Eh, I don't think so... The queso is very good, I'll give them that. However, I cannot ethically rate this place above two stars when I feel that the atmosphere, service, food quality, and concept are all in need of improvement. read more

Tacos are very tasty full of flavor. I liked the bushfire, baha shrimp and avocado. The guacamole and chps is also tasty. I cane to this location based on the reviews. The parking is street and meter but worth checking out. read more

I had higher expectations for Torchy's and this was a complete letdown. It was a raining Sunday when we went and the line wasn't very long when we got there...Not until we sat our table and the line was out the door and wrapped outside near their patio. One of the guys at our table didn't have his chips handed to him when we were at the register... So we informed the food runner who dropped off the avocado dip. The staff didn't have to be so rude when we asked about the chips. Wth is going on with this location. At least the cashier guy was really nice but the chips he handed to me were so stale. :/ The food itself was lacking... The queso wasn't very hot and my Veggie burrito had hard pieces of rice that stuck to my teeth as if the rice has been sitting out for while before they decided to throw it in my burrito.. Most likely I won't be coming back to this location.. It's too small and I definitely didn't have a pleasant experience all together... Overall.. I didn't enjoy this location. read more

Touchy tacos are absolutely the bomb! Who doesn't like fusion tacos? Torchy's also carries one of the best quesos! Which I sometimes eat as a meal, with the amount of calories it has :x .I feel like they carry a bit of everything to please their diverse clientele. My only issue is the crowdedness. This place is rarely dead. It's always swarmed with ravenous people. read more

OK, first of all, Yelp, learn where the hell "West University " is. It's a town, with actual boundaries, not a fuzzy realtor puffery term, and it lies west of Kirby Drive. This glitzy new in-carne-ation of the Torchy's franchise is east of Kirby, in the Rice Village. Now, about the restaurant itself and its food: Glitzy clean, with plasma screens on the wall to appeal to the technology-addled hipsters who infest the village. This place is ideally placed to serve these patrons as they stumble from the many nearby taverns on a Friday or Saturday night, so you can't blame them for their choice of "decor" nor the lousy music that blares from the speakers. In case said hipstericals find they need one more brew to wash down their hangover helpers, this place has a nice assortment of locally brewed craft beers. The tacos themselves are overpriced and overstuffed, but have some interesting flavors, and the counter and kitchen staff are efficient about modifying them to your specs (NO cilantro please). Two tacos and a beer for $13. Not great but not bad, if you can take the music, and don't care about ambiance. El Rauncho Grande. read more

My favorite go-to taco place in Rice village! This one is a gem in Houston. Great collection of tacos at a great price! I can go-on to talk about Torchy's and their ever-mouthwatering Taco collection. The guacamole and queso is as good as it gets. I love the vicinity of the place to the bars. I particularly love the Trashy Trailer Park. Their house salsas are delicious. My choices are Diablo and Poblano. My Tip: Order ahead online to avoid long ques! read more

Ahh, Torchy's. For awhile, you had me doubting your $3-4/per tacos. Now that I've found the good stuff in your (cheaper) Monk's Special and other breakfast tacos, we're back in business. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Pink and Mr. Orange are straight up delicious, but the egg-based hangover cure gets me everytime. If you're into hot and spicy, the Diablo sauce is where it's at. Sure, it's got the kick from the peppers, but more importantly, it's flavorful and not just pure heat. read more

I love torchys!! The queso is my go to! I also like trailer trash and the independent which is a portobello mushroom. The sauces are so good too! I also like the Migas for breakfast which is served all day. I like going at 3 when the place is dead or when they open in the am. Other than that I order online and pick up and just pay the .50 cent order fee because the wait is soo long! But one of the best places to grab a cheap eat in Htx read more

Torchy's is the bomb! If you live in Houston, TX & haven't tried this yet what the heck are you waiting for?! It's located in Rice Village so it's small & does get crowded with all type of people (again I love crowds) The menu is composed of regular tacos that are glorified with crazy names & decorated with ingredients to the point that it almost makes no sense that you get one tortilla. The names are something like "The Democrat", "The Trailer Trash", stuff like that, it's odd but the tacos are good. I usually get the nachos with cheese which come with a bit of their famous "Torchy's hot sauce". My girlfriend loves that hot sauce, as do I so, we bought a bottle to have at home. It's actually pretty hot & full of flavor, it's habanero based I believe. The seating inside hosts small tables, max of four people, tons of two people seaters. You have outside seating which is typical for outside seating. The wind, the cars honking, the birds flying around, random stuff hurling at your face due to the wind. But believe me, this spot is totally worth it. I get the beef fajita & man... I haven't had the chance to try everything on the menu despite me coming here a lot lol. I mean why order something else when you know the taco you got is going to be so freaking good? right? lol a lot of my friends have said the same thing. Check it out. read more

Dear Torchy's, Your food could have earned you a solid 4 stars. The fried avocado taco was yummy. But I had to go through one of your servers to order it first. What a treat she was. She was a ray of sunshine in a "I-so-don't-want-to-be-here-why-are-you-talking-to-me" kind of way. Too bad. That knocked you down by 2 stars for me. If I'm treated like a nuisance by the person I'm giving my cold hard cash to, I'm gonna have to be blown away by your food to make up for it. Since punching someone in the face for being rude and treating me like an idiot is illegal. Consider yourself overrated. Seriously. read more

Horrible service. How hard is to prepare two simple tacos: one chicken, one beef on corn tortillas? NO CHEESE!!! Yet, two tacos, on flour, with cheese, and order still got screwed up twice, not to mention, cold ass food. Thank God I don't bitch or complain even when warrant. The place was even empty. It sucks because I know Torchys is cool, but this location sucks. Cold ass food, really? It is called Microwave. Folks, stick to the one on Shepard. At least, they check on you to make sure your order is right. This location at Rice sucks. Dudes that work there even had attitudes towards other patrons. Simple solution: Don't bother. read more

Very busy location with a very busy parking lot but we found a spot in short order. There is some outdoor seating, which is nice. The tacos we tried were different and we enjoyed them. We thought the guac was fabulous! The sodas available were also different but delicious and unlimited refills, which is great! Close to Baylor so may be a place we had to a couple times a year when we are in that area for doctor appointments. Enjoyed it! read more
