The food was very good! It was fresh and the ingredients were fresh. The portions for the half chips and queso was surprisingly good. The employees were friendly too. I liked the vibe but could have been just a little more clean inside. read more

One more time I can't believe I didn't review this place the last time I was here!!! Maybe I wasn't Elite then...but I should have! I LOVE this place and have been to Torchy's in several Texas cities. I had a two different tacos, an avocado and a shrimp, both were amazing! I am happy to see that they have a plant based taco as well, I will try that next time. I love their queso...got it without the chorizo...and I was in heaven! If you are ever in the area...do yourself a favor and stop in...you won't be sorry! read more

I had a Tipsy Chick (chicken) taco, a Baja Shrimp taco and a side of Street Corn. A nice mildly spicy Bloody Mary completed the meal. The tacos were well served and it wasn't busy on the Monday afternoon we visited. Will definitely try again. read more

Located right across the street from Texas Tech so pretty busy around lunch time. Always start with chips and queso. My favorites are the shrimp Baja and the crossroads tacos on flour tortilla. They are generous with their fillings for both. The brisket in the crossroads taco is so tasty and not fatty at all. Although it's a chain, food is very good and lots to choice from on the menu. read more

My family and I ordered in Saturday night a to-go order. Prior to ordering, I've never had an issue with Torchy's. My sister is vegan, which means no animal products at all should be added to her meal. She ordered the Independent and it came with meat on it. Not only could she not return the taco due to closing time, but she also didn't have a meal to eat. The taco specifically says no meat included but instead it had meat on it. We asked to remove the cheese too, but again cheese was added. When it comes down to explaining what veganism is it makes you wonder if folks are educated. I know not many people know what it means to be vegan but still when you're taking an order over the phone you should still understand what the customer needs. read more

Nice staff large location. My first Torchy's experience was in Austin. In LBB for work so I had to get some Torchy's. Full bar. Ample seating inside. Took my time looking over the menu and settled on a taco, burrito, and a Jarritos. Sat down. Food was slower considering it wasn't packed. But gave me time to look the place over. Girl seemed pretty disinterested dropping off the food. The cashier was chatty and made me feel welcome. We talked about the Torchy's that just opened in Denver a bit ago. Burrito was ok. Blake beans and veggies. Too much inside though so it seemed like mush. Wouldn't order it again but the fried Avocado taco on corn was awesome as always. Definitely a taco fan of theirs. read more

Torchy's tacos are definitely delicious, don't get me wrong, but if you're on any type of time constraints this is not the place to go. A coworker and I decided to eat here together today. As employees in the healthcare field, it's pretty important that we make it back from an hour long lunch period on time for our patients. We waited over 30 minutes for two tacos. They were good, but not worth scarfing down in 5 minutes and sprinting out the door to make it back in time. The pricing is also a bit outrageous, but there's not much you can do about chain restaurant pricing. Anyways, if you want to pay $7 a taco and wait 30 minutes, it's definitely worth a try. read more

So many times in college, I would stop by Jimenez mid-day for my fix of their Three Amigos plate: Asado de Puerco, Carne Guisada, & Picadillo. Served with a fair helping of chips and salsa, it was a perfect lunch. Their tacos made them one of the best spots in Lubbock. Their placement in the Top 50 Taco Joints in Texas by Texas Monthly is well deserved. On Saturday, the game changes as they serve a Texas Monthly recognized barbecue. Their brisket is delectable, their sausage has a perfect kick, and all their sides are delightful. One of their delights is the La Tia. A barbecue sandwich except it's served on a house-made concha. Holy smokes. It's sugary and if served with brisket, is a glorious creation. I was driving through Lubbock and had to make a stop when I found out they were serving barbecue on a Friday. I got their Brisket Specialty Taco: two corn tacos with beans, shredded cheese, fried egg, and, of course, brisket. In addition, because my greed has no bounds, I got their Philthy Taco: 2 corn tacos, fried egg, potatoes, salsa ranchero, queso, and their smoked barbacoa. I called ahead and ordered before they closed at 2 pm and picked them up right at 1:57 pm (praise the lord). I mowed down both of them. For two tacos, they are most filling. I would've been full off of one. I am still wowed by what they can whip up. It's to-go only as Jimenez runs a small little shop on 34th Street, but they pack it with a ton of love and might. They're some of the best people in Lubbock, and Lubbock gives them all the love back. They just simply don't miss. RIYL: Mexican pastries, tacos, and barbecue

Other than than customer service, food is pretty great, so the review is not based on the food, simply on customer service.

If tacos are not your style, they also have burritos. In addition, they also have agua fescas shaved ice, and fresh fruit. The strawberry lime drink is good and refreshing. The fruit, fresh sweet and large spears. You can top it with whatever you want.

Tex-Mex is a perfect cuisine to me. I am not always craving it, but when I am, nothing hits harder…read more Through my years in college, I discovered Taqueria Jalisco to be the gospel and genuinely the best Tex-Mex in Lubbock by a long shot. My first time I went, my group of guys and I were put in a room with all the other white people. Not to say they were profiling, but looking at the rest of the restaurant's population on a busy Sunday, they had us in the gringo room. The food hit. I get putting a bunch of three-taco-plate-and-queso people in one room. I have not been back in quite a while, but I remember their menu being the most behemoth-looking thing ever. Every item had a picture taken on a Coolpix camera, and the text was almost impossible to read on the menu's busy background. That is proof that the food was going to hit. After returning, the menu has been minimized to be more readable, only slightly keeping that same over-the-top flair. The prices have gone up slightly, but where have they not? On a Thursday night, we were seated immediately around 7:30 and had a pretty attentive waitress. Like every good Tex-Mex joint in Texas, their chips and salsa roam freely through the restaurant, and the salsa has a good kick that is easy to manage while still having the heat everyone wants. They also have a creamy green sauce and other sauces they bring out by request. I ordered a combination plate with a crispy beef taco, a beef burrito, and a chicken enchilada with a side of Mexican rice. I added a side of refried beans because no Tex-Mex meal is complete without a big serving of refried beans to mix with the rice and crush with tortilla chips. The crispy taco was unreal. The shell feels like it was double-fried. It has such an incredible hardness to it. It feels premium. The beef burrito and enchilada were great as well, but I was blown away by the taco to an extreme. They have a pretty broad selection of Mexican beers, including Tecate, Bohemia, Dos Equis Amber, Modelo Negra, and Victoria next to your Coronas, Sol, and Dos Equis. Their margaritas are pretty great, if my memory serves me right, as well. I love this place, and I was glad to give it a revisit while being back in Lubbock for a bit. It is just classic and timeless. I just wish their menu was as much of an eyesore as it used to be because that sucker brought me so much joy. RIYL: Gaining five pounds in an hour. A good meal.

After an afternoon drive from Ft. Worth, I made it to Lubbock to spend some time with a special…read moreperson. This was the recommended spot. I took her word. The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating. We were seated quickly on a Friday evening. Like most mexican, tex-mex restaurant, we were given chips and salsa to start. I feel like I'm not usually picky with something so simple. However, the chips didn't seem to have enough flavor. I felt like it could have used more salt. The salsa also tasted a bit off. Specifically, it tasted more sour than I would have liked. I ordered a bistec plate (not sure what it was specifically as I'm writing this a few weeks from my original visit). There was sauteed beef with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and bacon. It was delicious! Everything was flavored nicely. Went great inside the warm flour tortillas that were provided. The sides of mexican rice and pinto beans were good as well. Aside from the food, the service was great. Attentive and kind. I still wish I could have paid for this meal, especially now in retrospect. My Lubbock host was too quick and went ahead and paid for the two of us. As we left, there was something wrong with the doors on the way out. I don't remember that being an issue as we came in. One of the sets of doors just seemed to jam. It was probably just me though (it was). Overall, I'd recommend this place! Maybe it was an off day for the chips and salsa. Otherwise, everything was great.
