Great Torchy's location. Quick service and plenty of seating indoor with a small outdoor patio. They have a gigantic bar in the middle of the restaurant which looked a little strange to me, but otherwise a cute and clean diner with good food and drinks! It's in the Rim so plenty of places to walk to from here if it's a nice day! read more

I tried Torchy's Tacos for the first time today with my wife, and it was honestly one of the most disappointing taco experiences I've had in a long time. We ordered four different tacos and a burrito. At around $6 per taco, you'd expect something at least halfway decent. Instead, the food looked nothing like the pictures they advertise. What came out looked rushed and thrown together. The biggest issue was the temperature. Everything was cold. Not slightly warm -- actually cold. The tortillas were cold, the beans were cold, and the entire meal felt like it had been sitting out before it was served. When you're paying that much for tacos, the bare minimum should be that the food is at least hot. The tortillas themselves were also disappointing. They used those bland white flour tortillas that taste like they came straight out of a grocery store bag, with no flavor at all. If you're going to use tortillas like that, at least heat them properly. We were starving, so we forced ourselves to eat about half of the food, hoping it might get better. It didn't. The beans were nasty, the tacos lacked flavor, and eventually we just couldn't keep going. We ended up walking next door to Cava just to get the bad taste out of our mouths. The place itself looks nice and aesthetically pleasing, but good decor doesn't make up for bad food. I'd much rather eat at an old beat-up taco spot that actually serves hot, flavorful food than a polished restaurant putting out cold tacos. After this experience, I honestly understand why the Torchy's near my house on the far west side ended up closing. I just don't see people craving this place or choosing it when deciding where to eat. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband and I enjoy Torchy's! You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. My favorite tacos are the Mr.Orange, the grilled Baja shrimp, naughty Santa from the secret menu, and trailer park. My husband's favorites are the democrat, the republican, and the fajitas. The chips and queso are satisfying and the half portion is perfect for the two of us. We also enjoy the damn good tots. I like that they have a taco of the month. In our experience everything comes out relatively quickly and we have been pleased with this location. read more

Great tacos and great prices! The guy was so patient with my mom and I because it was our first time. He even let us try multiple sauces and salsas! I'll definitely go back! read more

1st time at Torchy's tacos and I left happy! I used the self kiosk bar to order which was easy to navigate and you are able to make modifications to your order. The store is clean and has helpful staff. I highly suggest using the app, my friend uses it and was able to get free chips and queso! The food is great I went with their "outlaw bowl" which tasted great and their strawberry-peach margarita. I would easily come here for the margs alone. Great location. read more

Wow, looking for a relaxing place to go on Friday night with no crowds and a delightful bartender named Jules with my husband and I came tonight. It was such a relief not to have to fight the crowds and have such a pleasant bartender service. We will come back we love this place.! read more

Torchy's Tacos - Jules, my husband and I - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is my favorite Torchy's by far. The bartenders have always been super professional and friendly. The Hogfather and Scallywag have been my favorite specialty tacos. They have a monthly specialty taco that always changes so there's always new things to try. The tacos are very unique and have that Austin vibe (where they originally came from). Not the typical street tacos and such. But all kinds of unusual and delicious flavors. The Trailer park is a favorite saucy fried cheesy chicken taco with poblano, and I suggest making it trashy by adding their signature queso. The taco sizes are very generous. They have a full bar and my favorite signature drink so far has been Keeping it 100 (very smooth with that 100 proof Blanco tequila). The environment is very chill and great for all types of meet ups. I always have been treated like family here. This place is one you won't regret. read more

Torchy's food doesn't miss for me because I know what I like. But the service here from the bartender was pretty poor. I sat at the same time as another guest. Not bothered that she dropped menus and greeted them first - except she never greeted me just handed a menu. After getting their order she went to check in and existing guest and *almost* exited the bar without taking my order until I stopped her. She took my order from memory and I had to repeat it before she walked away so it's no surprise that I got flour tortillas instead of corn - at least the tacos were correct? It's just a preference and I was pressed for time so I just ate them. Food came and she never checked on me. At least the manager stopped by. She waited until I finished eating to check in and finally drop the check. Honestly, I had a small check because I didn't have the opportunity to order more drinks. So the 20% fell below my $5 minimum tip. Otherwise this service did not meet a 20% standard. Don't know if it was because I was a solo diner, but it definitely didn't feel welcoming read more

Always good service and friendly staff when I come here. Food is so good and the green rice is fire

Torchys has very unique tacos with all kinds of toppings that you will not find elsewhere. They also have seasonal tacos , secret menu tacos and a great salad on the menu as well as a full-bar. This location has seating inside and outside. You order your food at the counter, get a drink at the refillable drink station or bar and your food will be brought to the table/bar.

My boyfriend and I had a great experience, we had queso come out that wasn't hot and we asked Mike and he brought out a whole new queso and chips for us! Great customer service! read more

Torchys is one of my favorite places to get tacos. They have the most flavor and always have excellent seasonal tacos. I've had over half the tacos on the menu at this point and really liked all of them. So excited this Texas chain is expanding. The queso and guac are also so good. This location is my favorite because it's the fastest one and they always clean as soon as people leave their table. The bar inside this one has good seating and the drinks are a great price. The best parking is in the giant lot behind the restaurant. The order ahead and pickup is also very quick here. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Tacos - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I'd like to suggest removing the touch screen ordering system. These screens are unsanitary, and more importantly, they create the impression that staff no longer need to take customer orders. Today around 1 PM, we tried to have a simple, easy lunch. We stood waiting for several minutes, watched an employee come out of the kitchen, see us, and then disappear without returning. We eventually started to order on the screen, but at that point, we could have just ordered ahead or gone elsewhere. This shift in service--especially during non-peak periods--feels like a step away from the customer experience that made your business successful. I'd encourage you to look for other ways to manage overhead without sacrificing the personal touch that keeps people coming back, Used to be DAMN GOOD! read more

Torchy's, I love you!! If you're looking for good Tex-Mex tacos make your way over here. They have a variety of tacos to choose from but my favorite is trailer park (make it trashy). The chips & queso are bomb as well! read more

We were at The Rim for a quick bite to eat and decided upon tacos. Super casual walk up counter to order- easy and fast. We chose the green chile pork taco, shrimp taco without cheese, and chips with avocado dip. Hubby loved the pork taco. Shrimp taco had nice pieces of breaded plump shrimp, but I didn't care for the pickled onions. It overwhelmed the taco and I would have preferred sliced avocado instead. Chips were nice and light, however the avocado dip was underwhelming. I think a green spicy tomatillo salsa would have been perfect. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and cool decor. FYI - get 10% off your bill with military ID read more

This was the most insane disrespectful experience iv ever had at this torches, u used to come here all the time. Today i walked in after seeing a 2.5 hour movie which i had one drink before/during and the manager named ERIK said they didn't feel comfortable serving me i didnt disagree but wanted to let him know i my side and he didn't let me finish he interrupted and then kicked me out and asked me to leave. Was very unprofessional considering the amount of times i go to this location. read more

Like most places in the area, getting To Go is super easy and recommended. Plenty of seating in and outside though and free refills on drinks helps counter the big price. You won't be getting cheap prices but these aren't cheap tacos. And with the mountain of toppings and delicious sauces, you'll get a full meal without the longer time and bigger price of a sit down restaurant. I highly recommend the Democrat if you want a good overall heat spice without anything crazy or lasting. read more

Sat at the bar to watch the NBA Finals and have a good meal. It is a very relaxed, low key restaurant to come kick back and chill. The queso dip was amazing. Highly recommend with or without the chorizo. Wish the chips were a little thicker so they wouldn't continually break when trying to pick up the cheese, but still sooo good. My husband thought the chili wagon taco was more flavorful than the pork. He would order that again hands down. I enjoyed the chicken fajita in the bowl for less carbs and it was also quite flavorful. I added some queso on top and oh my was that yummy. The staff was attentive and personable. The only thing that I noticed was the floor. It hasn't looked like it's been mopped in awhile. Not in just certain spots, but all around the restaurant. read more

Not sure the Torchys hype, but appreciated the recommendation and patience of the cashier since I was a newbie. I've been wanting to go since moving here from seeing the sign. The shrimp were fried nicely. Didn't seem fitting for the tortilla and fell apart. The chips and trailer park cheese do was ok. Bit salty. I would rather check out someplace a little more local and mom and pop. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Baja shrimp taco and trailer park queso dip with chorizo and tortilla chips - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A long time go to place for queso, guacamole, & chips. Their trailer park taco and their Baja shrimp taco are always great. Service is always efficient and it's a great place for quick meals while shopping. Chill ambiance however it can get pretty busy on the weekends. read more

Chill place to eat on a Sunday night. We shared 4 tacos and chips and green chile queso. I wish queso was a food group. The republican was delicious. The democrat was good with lime. I loved that each had its own sauce. I wasn't a huge fan of the salmon or shrimp, but it's probably because I ate it in the wrong order. I also don't eat shrimp and didn't order it. I ordered chicken fajita. But I didn't want it to go to waste, so I ate it. Whomp. That's why I took a star away. I felt super guilty and didn't send it back. read more

We went here for a work lunch and I am so glad we did. We sat outside and it was beautiful in the covered patio. Great ambiance and their play list was on point! We would all stop and start dancing along to almost every song. We were a big party and our food came out quick and hot. My salmon and fried avocado tacos were tasty as always. The guac, salsa, and queso were delicious with our fresh chips. I am so happy they are tucked into la Cantera. A great place for lunch with coworkers, solo, or family. Just make sure you park behind at the movie theatre parking lot. read more

Had delicious tacos and a frozen drink. Ordered the shrimp taco, chicken fajita taco and fried avocado taco. Fried avocado taco was my favorite. Was delicious. Queso was super good!! Very tasty. Ordered a frozen sangria but I think I got a frozen lemonade? Not exactly sure but I drank it, it was good! Would go here again, the staff was really friendly and accommodating. Restaurant was clean and well designed - spacious with lots of tables available. Parking: Seemed like lots of parking available. read more

Let's start with the service that was received!! Michael went above and beyond by explaining everything on the menu and I told him to surprise me, and he asked if I had any food allergies. I told him no and he rung me up some of the best tacos I've ever had. I love managers who go above and beyond for their customers. We came in during a rush and he didn't get flustered and got everyone's orders in a timely manner without causing an uproar. Loved the ambiance of the place . I will definitely be back!! read more

Everything was a 4 star until I walked into the bathroom and absolutely almost threw my burrito back up. If your employees use the same dirty bathrooms. Hand washing does not make me feel any better as a customer. Burrito with chicken was good. If you like a 7 layer burrito- you'll like this burrito. Maybe a little sour cream heavy but I ate the whole thing. It has a very savory taste. $10 Fried avocado taco is $5 - quality is good. Two tacos is prob filling for most people. But the bathrooms were that gross and to me it's unforgivable. Absolutely gross. I'm honestly beyond irritated to have a great experience be diminished by something that should be a priority to any business. read more

What brought us in is the flashy lights and bright coloring...It's incising! The inside is very clean, well lit and appealing as well. I was surprised that the tacos are a La carte and kind of pricey but I was willing to try. The chips were just alright & (although we were told the salsa wasn't hot ) the salsa was too hot especially for our kids. Our tacos were adequate but nothing to write home about. The street corn in a cup was good but spicy also. The staff was fabulous and very helpful. But all said and done we wouldn't go back - I see we were pretty much just paying for the show. It's a pretty place but my overall feeling is "ehh" read more

TLDR; GREAT WEEKEND DRINK SPECIALS My friend & I were at the Rim and wanted something reliable so we decided to go to Torchy's and grab some fun tacos. Well as always the tacos were great. We enjoyed the shrimp, breaded chicken, & beef fajita! However, what stole the show is that on weekends they have $3.50 drink specials ALL DAY on tequila sunrises, bloody marys, mimosas, & palomas! It was such a happy accident for us! Highly recommend this place if you're at the Rim and want a reliable bite with a buzz that won't break the bank. read more

When I say that the manager Bianca's natural personality was warming and professional to the highest degree it is an understatement.

I'll be honest with you, this place is not worth the hype. It is a mediocre taco that costs $4:05. For some regular not even good breakfast tacos. I waited about 20 minutes while they were pretty much empty. All this for some coldish tacos that tasted like they were heated up in a microwave. Seriously nothing tasted fresh. The churros I ordered didn't even taste fully cooked. This is basically a expensive Taco Bell, although Taco Bell is still better than Torchys. If I could go back in time I would stop myself from eating here. read more

This is the first time I tried this taco place which I find more upscale than the usual taco places in San Antonio. I love their Baja shrimp tacos , it had such a unique and great flavor. The Hillbilly queso and chips was to die for . I definitely would come back again and make sure I'm really more hungry so I can indulge and finish all the food that I would order . I'm not a big taco fan but Torchy's had changed my mind with their gourmet tacos . read more

I was super disappointed in the service provided by the cashier. I would have been nice if she made a small attempt at helping make a small measure happen. Context: No brisket was made, this meant no products containing brisket would be served. I asked to have the same taco minus the brisket, add a different meat ( I would have gladly payed the up charge). she stated, " the computer doesn't allow that." If that is true, I understand. But she didn't even look. Doesn't seem to much as the back of the house to swap the meat out, but what do I know. Sucks that it happened, but oh well. I guess I'm just being hangry! I enjoyed watching my spouse enjoy her meal. read more

** 3.5 Stars, but rounded up to 4 for Yelp ** I've been to Torchy's Taco multiple times, and I am always impressed by their creative taco names and combos, the crowd, and their margaritas. Their service is fast and friendly as they dish out fast casual Tex-Mex foods. But the one thing that disappoints me is their corn tortillas. As their name-sake indicates, they are serving up tacos with fun names like the Brushfire (jamaican jerk chicken, grilled jalapenos, mango, sour cream, and cilantro with diablo sauce on a flour tortilla) or the Democrat (barbacoa, avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro, onions, and a lime wedge with tomatillo sauce on a corn tortilla). When you break it down, you have different protein fillings + different topping combos + a salsa that pairs well and is served on the side + corn or flour tortillas. The fillings have always been good as well as the salsas, but the corn tortillas have consistently been disappointing. They taste as if they have been taken straight out of the bag and not heated up at all. I'm a big fan of corn tortillas, but whenever I go back to Torchy's I make sure to stay away from the items that come in a corn tortilla. read more

Torchy's Tacos - Five tacos - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have passed this place many times and never tried it out. Well today was the day. Very interesting menu and taco names. I had the Trailer park taco-trashy (with queso) and the beef fajita taco. The prices are about $4 something per taco. I also got to try their chips and queso appetizer. The queso is really good. The tacos were filled to the brim and all of the ingredients were fresh. The taco are standard size tortilla but they fill them enough that you get full and get your money's worth. I was really impressed with the food. The beef was seasoned well and the fried chicken in my other taco had a good crunch. The service was good also and they had a steady crowd the whole time we were there. I will definitely go back again and try some of the other tacos. They have plenty to rotate through. They even have a bar and sell mixed drinks if that is your thing. read more
