They seem to be a bit short staffed. We noticed quite the pile of to-go bags collecting behind the one employee working the cashier and taking orders (he was too busy to expect to handle takeout bags as they come, nor should that be his job). I ended up grabbing the attention of a server and asking her to check if our order was ready in the pile of bags, it was. So the complaints I've seen below about the service being slow checked out. But let's get to the food, shall we? What we got: The Cougar (special) - 4* and the sweet bacon sauce that came with it is a solid 5*. Trailer Park - 4* very flavorful and fun. Republican - 5* I loved the jalapeno in the sausage. And all the jokes I made about this taco over lunch. Tipsy Chicken - 4* this was the first one I ate and all it remember was liking it and then liking other ones more. Scratch-made Churros - 3* the amount you got was really nice, it was a little more than I was expecting. The churros were pretty soft and doughy in the center with a slight crisp to them on the outside. I tend to like my churros a tad crunchier so there's a point down for that. The dipping sauce (dulce de leche) was also average, I kind of wish they had other options though what options to provide I'm not sure. Overall impressions from a first time visitor. Torchy's Tacos is a hit. I'd definitely recommend it and just let everyone know that there might be a wait for the food if you go. If you're doing take out stay on top of watching the bags come out so you don't wait longer than needed (no one wants soggy tacos). read more

Disappointed. I thought I ordered fried avocado, but got fresh avocado. Okay, can't blame you for that. But do people really order the fresh avocado on purpose? This thing was a mess. Runny refried beans mixed with what tasted like melted Velveeta was impossible to eat without making a huge mess, and it was way too salty, as well. It went out the window to the birds after one bite. read more

The best fast Mexican food I've ever had. I so wish they had units in the Midwest. For fast food -- 5 stars!!

Delivery from Torchy's! Ohhhh yeahhhhh... bomp bomp.... Tastes gooooood. The cheese dip is just too good to not have been created by some higher power. Queso from the gods! (Is there a Greek god of cheese? Should be... they have a god for everything else!) The smell is just way enticing... and then the flavor will just kick off a craving for more and more even as you are devouring what you have in front of you! If you don't get it... the queso is REALLY good! read more

Trailer Park Trash Taco was great; love the whimsy of fried chicken in a taco! Democrat Taco also has great beef flavor. My wife loved the Grande Burrito w Fajita Chicken, although she found the beans a bit odd. While so many bars are closed for Covid, Torchy's bar is booming. Even at lunch on a weekday, it is packed! read more

One word: Exceptional‼ We decided to patronize this restaurant while displaced from Hurricane Isaac. From the outside I didn't know what type of restaurant it was all I knew and saw was that it had alot of people. So the food must be good right? Right! We had the chicken fajitas, Baja shrimp, and mr orange. Let's first talk about the scrumptious ice, like did y'all order it from Fiji! It was so good. Secondly the chicken fajita tacos are marinated in something that makes it taste exceptional. It was soo good. I didn't like the fried Baja shrimp, maybe fried to hard. Would like it grilled maybe. Overall great vibes sitting outdoors amd food was brought to table within 5 mi a on a Friday evening. Lastly, the queso and chips with no guacamole was soo good and spicy. We are surely coming back. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Chicken fajitas - Tacos Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

This is by far the worst Torchy's I've visited. The tables were filthy and my order was sub-par. We had to clean off a table before taking a seat. I ordered a queso and tipsy chick taco. My taco was cold and clearly wasn't fresh. The queso was also pretty mediocre. I'm not sure what was different at this location, but something wasn't right. I hope this location gets their act together. Overall, terrible experience and I won't be back. read more

I would describe Torchy's Tacos as very mediocre. Their tacos are okay but nothing to go home and rave about. Have been here a few times and the ingredients/meat always comes out lukewarm/not super hot and the tortillas are also very basic. In my opinion, there are a lot better places in Texas to get Tacos - Tacodeli and Velvet taco, just to name a few :) read more

First off I not impressed at all I ordered the beef fajita taco and the beef was completely dry and no flavor as for the salmon taco it was ok....Taco Deli has a better fresh selection of tacos.. The one thing that stood out to me and made leave faster was that they were not enforcing the mask order. People would walk in and take off their mask and walk right by you without a worry in the world. That is really bad but now I know that torchys will be crossed off of my list.. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Taco deli tacos are more flavorful and better. - Tacos Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

The worst Torchy's location that I've ever been to. First of all, they only had one cashier handling the orders including the to-go orders. It's fine, I understand if it gets busy, but it was not super busy. Second, the food came out super cold. They didn't even try to heat it up. There was beef in my grilled shrimp taco. I had specifically asked them to really cook mine well since I'm pregnant and I'm scared of getting any kind of food poisoning. This will be the last time come to this location. They should try to do better. Also, you can't use your phones at this location since there's something wrong with their internet/wifi. read more

Ok this was a good experience without a doubt. They have a taco of the month to add to the unique names they have for their tacos. We ordered a Democrat, Republican, and trailer park tacos. There is a full bar with outside eating areas and the queso is always free.when people are dining in, getting to go orders and pick up orders are continually happening you know the place is good. read more

I just LOVE Torchy's and this one is a great location. My order is always served fresh and piping hot. My modifications are always done correctly. The staff is consistently pleasant too which is always a plus. I love coming here to sit at the bar too. Not all Torchy's have a bar so much respect from us drankers lol. Happy hour and brunch drink specials can't be beat. If you've never been to Torchy's I highly recommend the ace of spades off the "secret menu" and the tipsy chick when available. Enjoy! read more

I tried ordering on the site. it was loading infinitely, and I troubleshoot connectivity for a living. I proceed to call and the phone assistance will not accept credit card expiration dates i then speak with someone at the store who put me on hold. on hold for several minutes to the point that I'm already at the store. and what do I find?? no one on the store, employees just hanging out and me on hold for no reason. the ONLY reason someone got up was because I had your hold music on speaker at the front line. zero stars is more correct but I can't physically give you a lower score. read more

THEY ARE SERVING ROTTEN FOOD! If I could give this place zero stars I would. The first time that I visited this restaurant I was very new to the area and they double charged me. Today I ordered fried avocado tacos and I was served rotten food. I tasted the tacos and I could tell something was off, I looked at the tacos and the avocados were black. I was served rotten food. I threw up everywhere. I called the Manny the manager and he was apathetic regarding his restaurant serving rotten food. If I was served rotten food, just imagine what they're serving you that you're unaware of. If you ever felt sick after going to this particular Torchy's, you probably were served rotten food as well. read more

Really great customer service. The breakfast tacos are excellent and the queso is soooo yummy. Clean restaurant.

Worst experience ever. Manager doesn't even have a clue what's going on in the kitchen tbh. I waited more than enough time for our food and for us to get this type of presentation ? WTF. You're paying for a kids meal at this place. When we first got our to go order it didn't have our chips and queso, then after bringing it to their attention and waiting a bit longer we got everything. I would NEVER serve this to my customers if I were a server at your establishment. I'd actually be embarrassed to serve this. I'll be patiently waiting for my refund because the 30 min of time I wasted waiting for this shitty food is something I won't get back. Horrible ambiance too. read more

Torchy's Tacos - I don't even have to explain how garbage this looks - Tacos Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

If I could give this location ZERO stars I definitely would! I went to the Pflugerville location on 10/15/25 to have drinks with a few friends. I was the first to arrive so I waited at the bar. When I came in the bartender and I locked eyes and I sat down. She proceeded to talk to one of the couples that was at the bar while wiping down the bar, (there were 2 couples ) The conversation was not about ordering food or drinks it was more personal. So I waited. During that time another employee brought out one of the couples' food, but handed it to the wrong couple. Bartender berated him in front of everyone. I was embarrassed for him. It was a simple mistake! But that's just partially what the review is about. Other than her look at me when i first walked in she didn't acknowledge me! She continued to wipe down the bar and have personal conversations with the two couples. She then walked around the bar (passing behind me) and continued to wipe down the bar where the entrance was. I was thinking oh! she's finally coming to help me. NOOO, she asked the couple on the end if they needed anything else (and had a mini convo) and then asked the 2nd couple if they were ok! Which both couples stated they were good. She goes to the register, and keys something in. At that point I'm upset that she blatantly disregarded me. So I said Hi! Hello, can I please get a menu?! She pulls out the menu very fast and places it on the counter, waits about 5 seconds and say sarcastically Are you ready to order? I responded with you just gave me the menu, I need time to look it over. I quickly text the group i was meeting that I would be leaving due to the service. I went to speak to a manager to advise him of the situation. I told him everything I stated above and he literally said - Ohh ok I understand. There was no apology for the racist/bad service-nothing. I left and I do not plan to ever patronize this establishment again. I wonder if they have cameras in the bar area so upper management can see this behavior. DO BETTER TORCHY'S!! read more

Once again disappointed. We keep giving this torchys chance after chance. We have hit the point of insanity now, and literally have to stop trying to kid ourselves it will be ok. Each time it's always a fail. I am on a very specific diet and pregnant so there are things I can't eat or they will send me the emergency room. Order two bowl tacos tonight and both had items on it I took off. I couldn't eat or salvage the bowls in the slightest. Even when I order it without special instructions and EXACTLY how the taco comes, it's wrong. This location is easily the worst and I finally give up on it. read more

I visit this location at least 2x a month and I'm finally writing a review because they have improved a ton. They used to be horrible. Service was slow and inefficient. Queso is my love language so I kept coming back hoping for a miracle. Patience paid off cause they've been gradually improving and I can say that today my experience was pretty great. Tacos, margs and everything else was delicious. If I didn't stop visiting when it sucked, I definitely won't stop now. read more

I love Torchy's however this location (Pville) needs to slow down in the kitchen some and cook their food esp the chicken. My favorite taco is the trailer park taco and its been cold and under cooked several times. No one wants a cold chicken taco! I'm sure the wait staff knows if the chicken has been sitting out and is cold. Throw it out! You would not serve it to yourself, so don't serve it to us! Cook the damn chicken! If you put a cold piece of chicken in a taco and then put cold topping on it....guess what.....It's cold!! SMDH! On another note, my husband and brother got sick from that same taco and the same location at different times and vow to never go back. Cook the meat so customers do not get sick! You have one job!! read more

*update... The last few times I have been in Torchys Tacos inPflugerville the employees have been A LOT nicer! You still have to wait for a little bit for your order, I do DoorDash, but when the staff is friendly it makes it a lot easier! read more

I would hear about this place when I moved here and how tasty they were. I was skeptical and uninterested until I finally tried them.... My taste buds were immediately mad at me for depriving them of such tasty tacos. I had a shrimp and a avocado taco. They were both delicious and huge! I could have probably just ate one and been satisfied. They have tons of different tacos to choose from so anyone can find what they are looking for. They were super busy around lunch time, but they were still quick and efficient. This specific location was very well kept considering how much foot traffic they have. I will be back to try the rest of their tacos, but not all at once lol read more

I am a big fan of Torchy's, but I have to say this location has had my least favorite experiences. I really want to love it and support restaurants near my home but I don't go often to this location anymore. The to-go tacos have been messy and soggy beyond what you would expect. Inside service has been ok but food still seems a bit below average from other locations. Not a fan of the interior. It feels very fast foodish and lacks the fun of other locations. read more

Just another torchys in another location. I have had torchys all over austin. Came here for lunch and ordered a salad with chicken and a brushfire taco. Of course can't go to torchys and not order the queso. Queso is must at torchys. Best thing about torchys, good and restaurants are consistent. Only if the service could be good too in each location. I mean it was ok here but it could have been better. Either way decent food for decent prices. read more

Great breakfast tacos. Love the restaurant! I come here for breakfast tacos. Bacon egg and cheese tacos are super tasty

I am not generally in the business of reviewing fast food places, but this Torchy's overall rating is not deserved at 2.5 stars. C'mon. The place is always hopping, the service is prompt, the food is great. We always eat and drink at the bar. Morgan is a terrific bartender and keeps the place moving back there. The Tokyo Drifter needs to get onto the secret menu. PLEASE!! read more

Pretty solid Torchy's. It's the one closest to me and their tacos have always been delicious and hot. Their menu has a bunch of variety for everyone's tastes, and their chips and queso is consistently great. Staff is good as well and don't have to wait very long for your order to arrive. The restaurant is always full, but there are plenty of seats with a nice patio. read more

Moved to Austin 7 months ago. "You gotta try Torchy's" everyone keeps saying. Finally tried this location as it's close to where I work. If this is representative of Torchy's, I seriously don't get what all the hype is about and would definitely never go to Torchy's again. Based on other reviews, tho, think this location might be a fluke, so miiiiight try one more location. The BF and I ordered three different tacos: the Crossroads (brisket), the Green Chile Pork, and the monthly special Tailgater (bacon, Panko chicken, blue cheese, and way too much other stuff). All three were extremely dry and overstuffed with overcooked meat. I know, I know, too much meat? But the ratio was just wrong with the other fillings and it ends up being way too dry and chewy. The tortillas were also somehow really dried out. We had to douse each taco in salsa just to moisten it a bit, which then made the salsa completely overpowering. Also, I decided blue cheese has no place in a taco. Blech. Giving an extra star because our order was ready quickly. read more

They aren't appreciative of my review. It's a robot response. Food is great and employees are great. Management and adaptation to customer base is poor. Ownership is poor. It's sad these people have such a good Culinary crew and such poor management. I'd be ashamed to even respond to this as a manager with this poor culture. The most simple fix makes your reviews and revenue increase exponentially..... yet you sit back in your nice home office and send some bland response Instead of taking action. I won't support this establishment anymore until someone steps up and actually cares. Your employees and customers deserve better. read more

After coming to this Torchys for years as a local resident this has been by far the most uncomfortable and bizarre experience! A young Kid named Ryan I believe, worked the front counter taking orders on 7/24/2024 at approximately 1:20pm made this experience extremely uncomfortable. After placing my order and using the card machine which seemed to not work, I selected the option for "$0 no tip". After doing that, the machine seemed to not work, at which point Ryan decided to make sure that I was in fact selecting the "$0 tip" option. After I confirmed that this was correct, he then stated again, try again with the "$0 tip option". With the machine not working and his having to "reset" it. Again decided to make sure he mentioned that what we selected was indeed the $0 tip option about 5 more times. Food is always great, but never have we ever been so uncomfortable during simply ordering food at a Torchys tacos. To say the least will definitely be avoiding this place until staffing starts to focus on customer service. Everything and everyone else was great as usual. read more

The food here is always great and the environment is wonderfu. Great patio area. GIGI is the bartender on Wednesday's, great service.

Not sure why this Torchys is at less than 4 stars. I have been a regular at this one - it's a go-to after a Costco shopping haul (right on the opposite side of Kelly lane). The service is always on point - friendly and fast. This Torchys also has a nice outdoor seating space lit up with string lights. I find this location very spacious - definite plus during COVID days. Our typical order is the fried avocado, migas, burrito (just okay). On this visit, we spotted a plant based beef monthly special. We asked if they would swap the beef for friend avocado and it was bomb! I will keep coming here! read more
