can't go wrong with torchys! this location has a great patio that they do allow dogs on although it does suck that it is right along 35 which can get a little loud. there is tons of seating and a full bar. they can move a little slow when busy but food is always consistent and their paloma's are delicious while you wait. the food is a little pricey for torchys being a chain but they always have a fun taco of the month. read more

Any time I can stop by at torchy's for lunch I do it. Are used to love their shrimp tacos but I would get indigestion afterwards. I've switched over to the Mr. orange since it suits my sensitive tummy better. I always go for the queso. It is spot on some of the best I've ever had and it's vegan which is rare for a vegan queso to taste as good. As a pescatarian, I only eat seafood so it's great that they have multiple options. They're always quick in and out as well so I never have to wait around for my torches fix. read more

When you're a long term austinite and have loved torchys forever, but keep getting disappointed. We have had many poor experiences with this location as well as the 79 location in round rock. Consistently long wait times, not answering phone or text for pick up, and today we had to leave without getting food or response. Just seems poorly run. We ordered curbside, said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When we texted upon arrival they said to call or come on. We went in to a line out the door, most people not socially distanced or wearing masks. We called and sat on hold for 10 minutes. No answer and decided to leave at 40 minutes since order. read more

Its torches. :) its great tacos any time of day. Great daily unique taco specials. Their only competition compared to other taco shop with multiple locations is Pacific Tacos. (Not rating against taco places / mom and pop places that have far more limited locations). Torches is cobsistently good and high quality with friendly staff. Always good. This location is particularly nice. And torchys has a sit down bar.... yay! Doing really good torchys!! read more

Forgot the onions on my taco, wouldn't let me substitute chimichurri sauce for avocado sauce, and the woman working at the front wasn't properly wearing her mask...just pushed it down below her lips and only covered her chin. Weird and despite not covering her mouth still wouldn't talk clearly when I asked questions and I had to ask her to repeat herself multiple times. The tacos were okay, but overall I don't think I would spend the money to come back ($17 for three) or the time since it took 30 min to get the to-go order after I placed it...I definitely like other Austin eateries more. read more

Service was extremely poor. Long wait, when not busy. The food has also taken a drive. Not up to the usual standard read more

My to go place for Tacos. Love their brushfire chicken tacos also best queso ever with chips and dips. Sometimes it's very busy so plan ahead and if possible place an order ahead. They stopped taking orders over phone for Togo and now have an app which add $5 service fee which is too much. read more

Service was really frustrating. I ordered from the wrong location (totally by my own fault). I couldn't get a hold of the other location so I asked this location to notify them and cancel or transfer the order. They said that would be no problem. They duplicated the order and charged me, but then said they didn't know how to contact the other location. read more

Torchys is great. My only little concern is that I wish they served fresh made corn tortillas. The ones they serve seems very store bought. I expected some real fresh made in house. But oh well. Toppings are great. I tried jerk chicken, and fried avacado this time and it was very flavorful. This particular torchys is very spacious and big and have tons of seatings inside and outside. Place is clean and food is simply good read more

We stopped in tonight for dinner. We're told to go right for dine in, and decided to order Togo. We went back to the front and were told to go back through the line to order to go (not what they said, but ok). After ordering, the staff was loudly talking about us after because we were confused on where to place our to go order. Funny enough, people who came in after us wanted to order to go and were allowed to order back at the front, soooo...maybe it's more of a staff problem? Then it took 45 minutes for them to get our food. This is the only Torchy's I've had an issue like this at. I get that this is a weird time for restaurants, but let's have some professionalism. read more

I had heard a lot about Torchy's so when I was heading to Austin for business I new I had to carve out some time to stop by. I was not disappointed! It's definitely not a traditional taco spot (more of a taco fusion) and even though something like this can end up gimmicky Torchy's does not. They definitely pulled it off. I had the Democrat and the Republican and while I'm not a fan of the political parties, I'm a big fan of the tacos! To top it off, their queso dip has a big scoop of guac in the middle. Super tasty! read more

I was very pleased with my first experience at Torchy's Tacos! A huge group of us went for my friend's birthday and I was thankful that they had accommodations for all of us. We sat outside and all 16 of us fit in one large bench. It was fairly hot outside, but the area was nice and they had a tv showing the US Open. I wasn't super hungry so I shared the Green Chile Queso + Chips which was delicious! I loved how smooth and spicy the queso was and it didn't get cold and clumpy like some places. The chips are slightly greasy, but still good. With the chips it did get salty towards the end, but I would definitely order it again. I also didn't know that you could get more chips brought out, which was definitely needed for all that Queso! It could easily be shared amongst 4-6 people. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Green Chile Queso - Tacos Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I love love love Torchys. Been going since original brick and mortar location on south 1st . Have visited all or almost all the Austin locations. This location, round rock, started off pretty great but something happened. Management is my best guess . Place is dirty, they don't clean the tables or restrooms. Got our order wrong, forgot our tortillas. We told them about it, they said they'd take care of it. They did not Food still tastes good, that's what the 2 stars is for, but don't expect to be wowed by the experience . Fix your crap, a Torchy's. I want to come back read more

Ambiance ok, food is spicier then I'm used to. No real option for the picky eater. The queso was delicious. Recommend it highly. This was our first time. If you like artsy tacos this is the place. Not for my husband and teen. Fair prices read more

New restaurant looks great inside. Service was terrible. We sat at the bar. It took 15-20 just to place our order. Three items. One came out beef instead of chicken. They put way too much mint in the airstream salad. Killed the salad. BTW, we got there before they got busy. read more

Torchy's Tacos - This is how much mint was in one salad. - Tacos Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I used to visit location multiple times on lunch with a couple of my friends, we always ordered 15 minutes ahead of time and for some reason every time we would have to wait 20 more minutes after arrival and the place wasn't even busy (again every time!). One of my friends always ordered his tacos WITHOUT cheese (lactose intolerant) and like you guessed he got them with cheese, we then had to sit there and wait 15 more minutes and being late read more

I have eaten at Fuzzy's Tacos and wanted to give Torchy's a try. I ordered the chips and queso and the taco of the month, the Mr. Miyagi. I figured since was the special it would be really good. The line to order was relatively long, so I thought I was in for a treat. I was wrong. The best part of the meal was the chips. The queso did not taste like it was made in-house. It was spicy, but mediocre. For almost $7 bucks it should be awesome. I can get better queso at my local mom and pop Tex-Mex joint. Now let's talk about the taco. The word taco is in the name of the restaurant, that means they are the specialty. This taco had the most bland piece of fish I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The sesame seeds weren't even toasted, so I couldn't even taste them. There was no salt anywhere in the dish. The wasabi sour cream didn't even taste like wasabi, however, there was so little on the taco it would have been hard to taste it even if it did. The mango slaw was neither sweet, spicy, or vinegary, if you call less than a teaspoon of veggies a slaw, that is. It was one of the worst tacos I have eaten in my life as a native Texan. Even the fried wontons were bland. The Mr. Miyagi is a bland, tasteless insult to tacos everywhere. Avoid it at all cost. I will not be returning to Torchy's. read more

We had our first bad experience at Torchy's today. The bar tender was very rude to me and my daughters for no reason at all. She asked for my ID I told her it was in the car but I was not drinking alcohol just wanted to watch the game . She got rude so we left and she called us to the doorway saying ok goodbye have a great evening in a condescending tone I didn't care for. Torchy's is a great brand and good help is hard to find so I don't fault them. Bit I will not be back to this location anytime soon . Chad Moore read more

I have eaten here 3-4 times since they opened. I was there this morning for breakfast. Sunday 2-2-2020. This location never seems to have the number of diners some of their other locations do. The order line was especially slow, given there were only a couple of diners ahead of us. Their ice machine was out of ice and that caused some issues while staff brought a bucket of ice to the register to "dole out" ice as they took the order. I always get their Crossroads Taco which is brisket, cheese, jalapeno peppers (not too hot), and a generous slice of avocado. I ordered two of them this morning. The portions were generous and ingredients fresh. I had mine on a flour tortilla, but they will serve them in a bowl if you want to avoid the carbs in the tortillas. I have been patronizing Torchy's for many years and in multiple locations. This location which has been open since about July is better than the Palm Valley location but not as good as the Mueller store. read more

My first Torchy's Tacos experience, and it was delicious! I ordered the Chicken Fajita taco with extra cheese. It was brought out with no cheese, but before I even looked at it the waitress realized the mistake and brought it to the back to add cheese. This taco was heavenly!! My only recommendation is to make the sign for where the line is easier to see. We walked straight in and were wondering if we need to sit at a table for service. read more

I am currently sitting in this location. The food was AMAZING i got two brushfire tacos and they were delicious! The staff that took my order was sweet, friendly, and inviting along with the server that brought me my order. A gentleman even picked up my plate for me once I was done eating!! The ONLY issue I had with this location was the actual manager. She is an older lady with short hair and glasses. She was very cold to everyone came in contact with including her staff. She was asked to come to the register twice and both times she neither smiled nor greeted guest. There was a gentleman whom came in after I did and she stood right in front of him without saying "excuse me". She gave the cashier her card and walked away once she was done using it. The manager definitely brought out negative vibes from both the customers and the employees. Overall I had a positive experience due to the taste of my food and the amazing staff, besides the manager. read more

I guess employees forget how to make a taco 15 min before closing time? ordered two trailer park trashy's no quaso, pico or anything else just shredded cheese never had a problem here before like this read more

Freaking delicious. Every time I go to Austin this is a must stop. Some locations are cleaner and nicer than others. Luckily there's two within 10 mins of each other so you can go to the nicer location with outside seating read more

I ordered delivery through the Torchy's website and had some trouble with door dash and never received my order. After trying to contact door dash I was told to contact the restaurant. This was a tad bit frustrating, since I know that they didn't have my money, door dash did, but I tried anyway. Thomas, the GM was sweet and was as helpful as he could be. I probably won't be ordering door dash for Torchy's again but I will be happy to continue giving this place my business based on how sweet they were, even though this wasn't their problem at all. read more

This location is BEAUTIFUL! It's another addition in a great franchise. Food was great, service was impeccable. Definitely give this spot a shot if you're in the area. My go to is the Alabama Shake on corn, and the green chili queso! My husband enjoys the baja shrimp, and my mom enjoyed the tipsy chick. The sauce it comes with is filled with bacon!!!! read more

This is a great spot for all! We often sit at the bar for a couple drinks and enjoy chips and queso. My favorite taco is the chicken fajita and sometimes get it in the bowl. The taco with salmon is always way too salty and have tried it multiple times hoping it's just he cook, but it's not. The staff and friendly and attentive at the bar, which is why this place has become a regular hangout for us. read more

Another Torchy's location- consistent like the others. Food is good and fresh. They have a nice selection of draft beers. Service is a little lacking hence 4 stars. read more

Food was excellent staff was attentive and helpful! First time I've had Torchy wife has had it in Houston nice place to stop after radiation. Zeek went above and beyond!!! read more

Easily the worst Torchy's experience ever. Torchys lover but they still need time to learn the proper way. The tacos were mediocre and I even sent back the Mr Pink. Nope. A piece of Tina on a tortilla and no veggies? Even the typically consistent margaritas were bad. This place was opened too soon. If you ever went to Westside Alehouse, the curse continues on this building. Please do not let let this be your first Torchy's experience. No American taco of the month? Is this REALLY a Torchy's? read more

Yes. Yes. Always a fav. If you do not see what you like on the menu just ask. They are so accommodating One of the best taco places in Austin. read more

Not the cleanest spot, but had solid food! Queso and guac are honestly the best I've had in awhile! Queso is the best I've had ever from a restaurant. Ordered the trailer tacos! read more

First of all, people should not do this to tacos. The only blessing I can give this restaurant is the queso. The taco flavoring is overwhelmingly unfortunate. I don't want all these ingredients toppling out of the shells. It's not the spot. I know people have been raving about it but it's not worth the hype. Also, this is not good Mexican food. I don't know what's happening to Mexican food but you can't make culture white. read more

We were definitely Fans of Torchy's so this is heartbreaking to write but it must be said ... Food was cold ,the tacos and the queso . We wanted sweet tea there was no tea and Drink station was a mess. Tortillas were as if they were straight out the package. They bypassed the fire and straight to the plate were they were topped with cold chicken and veggies . The Democrat taco was a bust too , cold . The burrito we ordered that came with guacamole was without the guacamole. It left us wanting more so we went to Chick-fil-A afterwards . This was our second chance and we were hoping for redemption. Bottom line this location is not worth the money AT All. read more

Kelsey the Bartender at Torchys in round rock is super friendly she greeted us immediately and offered to put on our NFL team game on TV. Her strawberry margarita on the rocks was delicious. I will be coming back to this location just for her attentiveness and service see ya soon!! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Strawberry Margarita on the Rocas - Tacos Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

This was my favorite neighborhood taco spot before COVID. They stopped making the Tipsy Chick taco after COVID and broke my heart. That taco was exceptional. I love the Hillbilly Queso, but not enough to wait in line for. I've tried other taco offerings from Torchy's, but nothing compares to the Tipsy Chick. The atmosphere and music will make me return after COVID, but when they bring back the Tipsy Chick ... I will be a regular again. read more

Great service; timely, organized and friendly staff!! The queso is the best. The trailer park, and fried acacado tacos are insanely good. The guacamole sauce is very yummy too. Will definitely be back. Jocelyn, and Carlos engaged guests and seemed to be happy with their job, it's always nice to see employees that "enjoy" being at work, this to me is a reflection of management. Can't wait to go back!! Check them Out!!!! read more

Establishment was very clean and sanitary. Food, drinks, and service were phenomenal!

100% recommend sitting down at the bar on a Sunday with Gabe! Very personable and engaging. Can run you through the whole menu like it's the back of his hand. Great food, great service! Thanks Gabe! read more

Went overboard with the salt on the chips it's TOO MUCH. The rest of the food was meh. I've had better. read more
