    Queso & Chips (V)
    Nicole E.

    Came to torchys for lunch while in town for work because it was highly recommended. The restaurant was nice and clean and really fun! I got chips and queso and three tacos with extra meat and everything was amazing! Everything came out quickly and perfectly. Definitely will come back every time I am in town.

    Republican & Crossroads Taco
    Jane O.

    Got the republican and crossroads taco and they both were so flavorful and delicious! We also ordered queso for the table and that was very very addicting. Everything tasted so good! Service was also excellent and very fast. The staff were all very kind as well. The atmosphere was pretty much what you'd expect for a Torchys Tacos joint. Pretty impressed with this location. Haven't been in a Torchys tacos in years but this experience will definitely keep me coming back sooner rather than later!

    Dryest taco and brisket I've ever had. All ingredients were cold- cheese not melted. I ordered to go and sat in my car to eat so it would still be hot. Wrong. Service was welcoming and friendly.

    Chips and queso are never a disappointment! Unfortunately, cannot remember the names of the tacos, but one of the employees there made the recommendation and we loved all of them. Although seating is very limited at this location, we were able to find a spot closely. The servers and even the bussers were exceptionally fast. Will be back at the location due to the quick service and hardworking employees at every corner

    Green Chile Pork and Mr. Orange (front)
    Claire C.

    I love Torchy's for a fast and unique taco. So many options that are unique to this chain and it's one of my favorites if I need a quick bite to eat. I ordered the Mr. Orange and the Green Chile Pork with avocado. Both were delicious and I would order again. This location is pretty cool - it had a lot of seating as well as a bar on half the restaurant. The service was very fast and the workers were very helpful.

    11$ for two tacos that offer $2 worth of flavor/quality
    Jose G.

    Went to get a quick bite with the wife and left disappointed. The cashier at the entrance was short, meaning had zero patience for us while ordering. She also suggested we don't order our drinks there, but instead order at the bar, "they prefer that." The bar staff was ok, but she couldn't care less to serve us or not. The place has maybe 10 customers total. The beer I ordered was almost warm, my wife's drink was ok. When we received our food, that's when disappointment really set in. I ordered the Chili Wagon, supposed to be New Mexico green chili, this looks like avocado sauce from H‑E‑B. The flavor indicates this was not hatch "new Mexico" green chili. I took a pic of the tacos, lackluster to say the least. The other taco was Brushfire, the canned mango gave it a mushy texture, any def respecting islander would chuck this in the trash. So 4 mediocre at best, tacos, for $20+, $15 for a beer and a drink. I would say that taco cabana offers a better value and equal or better quality food. Then with almost an hour to closing, they guy is mopping it sweeping under our table! The other girl walking around cleaning, is on her Bluetooth having a personal conversation, that was not appropriate. This place has gone downhill, sad part is they don't seem to care.

    Food is amazing! Queso is delicious. Service is very attentive. And ambience is great. Manager is very attentive and friendly. She goes out of her way to meet our orders.

    Customer service needs serious attention. An empty restaurant should be prompt with servicing customers.

    I've come here a handful of times with my sister and while we haven't tried an extensive amount…read morefrom the menu, we do really love the fried fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. We always go through the drive thru and while the line can be a bit long at times, we've never really had to wait very long. It's not my number one choice in taco places, but they're good tacos at a good price. When I go on a Carnival cruise, I like to get fish tacos from The Blue Iguana... if I'm not on a ship, this is the closest thing I've found. They do lose a star though because I also have a toddler to feed and tell me why I can get two tacos for the prize of ONE kids quesadilla? So I end up going to two different places for food. There's not much else to say. I don't know if they offer indoor seating, but I know people seem to enjoy sitting in the outdoor patio area. Thankfully it's covered which really helps in the Texas heat. As for me, I just use the drive thru and carry on with my daily tasks.

    My friend recommended this place, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered at the window, grabbed…read morea table outside, and sampled a few of the sauces from the toppings bar while we waited. The food came out surprisingly fast, and overall, the experience felt very relaxed and enjoyable. I ordered the braised beef tacos, also known as quesabirria. While they were decent, they were definitely not the best quesabirria tacos I've had. The consommé was very oily and lacked flavor, and the pickled onions were a bit off-putting. That being said, the tacos were generously filled with beef, which I appreciated. If I came back, though, I would probably try a different menu item. I also ordered a horchata and the regular size completely caught me off guard because it was huge. It tasted slightly more watered down than other horchatas I've had, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable. I would definitely order it again. Overall, while not every item completely wowed me, I still had a really pleasant experience here. The quick service, laid-back atmosphere, and generous portions made it worth the visit, and I'd be interested in coming back to try more of the menu in the future.

    This review has great energy--you just need it tightened and cleaned 1000 dé cinco estrellas!…read more We visited El Jefe Pollo Asados (620 Nassau Rd in Webster) after a long day of touristy activities, exhausted, with a group of seven--including picky kids. We had so many restaurant options but chose this place because of the high ratings... and I'm so glad we did. I'll be honest--when we first arrived, I wasn't impressed with the outside or the area. I was a little hesitant going in. But the moment we walked through the doors, everything changed. The place felt welcoming, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere--yes, a little loud--but in a good way. It's that lively Mexican vibe: music, micheladas, carne asada... all of it. We were just tired, so I think I noticed it more. Now let's talk about the food... I ordered the Maestro Plate but swapped the meat for short rib costillas--and OH. MY. GOSH. These were hands down some of the best costillas I've ever had. Juicy, tender, packed with flavor. I cleaned those bones completely--every single bite. The dish was served with perfectly grilled "nopales" and queso panela, que ricura! Ahhh, and of course the charro beans and rice that I barely made a dent in. The portions? HUGE. Two of us shared one plate and still had leftovers--and we can eat! Now this part says everything: my grandson, who is on the spectrum and very picky, ordered pollo asado... and he tore into it. No complaints, no hesitation--he finished his entire plate. That alone speaks volumes. My daughter had the birria (and she's a birria critic), and even she couldn't finish her plate because of how generous the portion was--but she said it was full of flavor and really good. My older grandson (big growing boy with an equally big appetite) had a birria quesadilla--again, huge portion--and even he couldn't finish it, which never happens. To top it all off, the owner surprised us with a complimentary dessert--warm, soft, pillowy sopapillas with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. The kids were FULL... and still devoured every last bite. Not a crumb left. And let's talk about pricing... honey. Compared to Austin? This was a steal. I was honestly shocked at how affordable it was for the quality and portion sizes. Amazing food, generous portions, great service, and a place that turned my hesitation into loyalty. They've earned our business--100%. We will absolutely be back next time we're in town.

    We showed up at 8:49am and place was still close no signs of anyone there…read more Really upsetting bc I plan my day to start there with my crew when we could have gone somewhere else earlier. The map also said they were open at 8:30am

    Loved this Mexican brunch spot in Webster. Our area isn't known to have a ton of breakfast options…read moreso it was nice to try something new. I ordered the birria chilaquilla which was served with scrambled eggs and avocado and got the fruity pebbles pancakes for the kiddo. The chilaquilla had great flavor with both red/green sauces, savory birria beef ( not overly fatty), and the tortillas were crispy and not soggy at all. Plus one for the fancy plating- these dishes are picture worthy to say the least. Really cool spot and it was packed on a Saturday morning for good reason.

    Ok so you have to get up and go order and pay before you eat! You are asked for tip but haven't…read moreeven seen the service or food so I declined and will see. But just having to get your own utensils and go place an order at a sit down place!!?? Not a tip place!! Honestly it's just the aesthetics!!! The so called aguas frescas taste like JUMEX, the concentrated one!! Not happy about that at all!!! The chilaquiles plate is just too much chips swimming in salsa but the top of chips aren't even getting much of it! It's just a mess!! Green and red chilaquiles, the green sauce was good, savory and not salty but too overwhelming with so much chips!! The avocado was cut nicely but they didn't even bother to cut the brown/black part! The entire food was just blahhhh, overpriced!!! $57 for chilaquiles, 3 waters, waffle and 1 egg!!! Overpriced and not worth it!! Seems like your alone at restaurant, staff at the back and just come out to bring plates and tell you to order at register. Ambiance chill and nice and music but not worth it! Pretty restaurant but not worth the price of food lacked flavor!!! And the employee pic is because the face of your restaurant is how they treat customers and it wasn't polite at all and not welcoming!!
