    Baja Shrimp

    Worst Torchy's experience. The order Kiosks are ridiculous asking for a tip when there's no human interaction and food portions are small. $6 for a taco with little substance.

    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.

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.

    I recently had my first visit to El Jefe, in Webster, Texas. I was primarily looking through yelp…read morefor a good restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with an "excellent" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.6 stars with 120 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. After driving by the front of the restaurant and pulling into the parking lot, I started to have second thoughts about coming here. From the outside, it certainly did not appear to be a location worthy of an excellent rating on yelp. Still, I trusted the yelp community, and I decided to come inside. Boy, the yelp community was right on this one! This is one of those restaurants that is excellent, but you wouldn't know it unless you gave it a try. Immediately after entering, I decided to take a seat at one of their tables in a corner. Just after sitting down, a gentleman came over and delivered some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. My waitress came over shortly thereafter and introduced herself. Her name was Marcella (sp?). She was friendly and professional throughout my experience here, and she was patient with me in explaining some of the items on their menu. After reviewing their menu and eating a bunch of their chips and salsa (which are ridiculously good), I decided what I wanted. I ordered the "Quesabirria w/Consome," with beef, which are 4 birria and cheese tacos, served with onion, cilantro, pickled onion, radish, and special spicy salsa. I ordered a Coca-Cola along with my dinner order. I definitely made the right choice for my meal. They were generous in filling my tacos with a bunch of shredded beef, and they were amazingly good. My soda was refreshing as well. In my opinion, this is a better place for authentic Mexican food rather than Americanized Mexican food. After my meal, my waitress said that she is giving me some of their dessert for free since this was my first time here. She was very kind, and an excellent waitress. Overall, I did have an excellent experience here, just as so many others have had. This was a reminder for me that sometimes I need to just trust the yelp community, and most often a high yelp rating is high for a valid reason. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try. In addition to this review, be sure to check out all my pictures if you'd like to get more detail on this location, some of which are attached to this review.

The staff is super friendly and the dining room feels very "Mom and Pop." I think they had a dance floor on the other side of the bar. We didn't check. The parking lot is very rough but don't let that scare you off. Come for a great authentic Mexican meal.

And it happens every single time that they're out.

It's pretty uncool giving a super negative energy response to someone who is pointing out that you didn't give them a correct order, because for the fifth time of visiting this location, they do not have ingredients for the items on the menu.

Everything was delicious, and there was seriously enough for another meal or two. The chicken was nicely cooked with a sweet/spicy sauce. Same for the shrimp. These guys also do an outstanding job with their rice, which is almost served al dente. The spreggrolls, which are a fusion of fried egg rolls and cold spring rolls, stole the show for me however. It's such a simple idea, yet no one (else) seems to have thought of it. These folks have a huge menu, and I look forward to making my way through it.
