Tacos had good flavor and the portion size was generous. I did notice the taco bowls didn't come with rice. They had a self serve kiosk. I always wondered what kind of tip they should get when we put in our food order and clear our tables when done. They do bring out the food but after that we never see anyone again. The restroom was very clean. We did stop by shortly after lunch rush. read more

Delicious taco fusion variations. I had the Republican beef taco, which was bbq brisket with bbq sauce, corn, and French fried onions. Friendly wait staff. We sat outside in November and the speakers were blaring with loud music. My great aunt asked the bartender to turn the music down, which he did, and then he checked on us to see if the improvement was better. read more

Second visit to Torchy's on Waddell Rd. The food is always good and the service is excellent! I think my favorite part of Torchy's is the flavor of the food. It's just not a generic Mexican restaurant with the usual sauces and spices. They do a great job with the flavors! The indoor and outdoor seating is nice and clean. Also, no matter how busy they are, I don't feel it's too loud to have conversations. I did take one star off for food portions in relation to value. Some menu items are over priced for their portion size. read more

Can't believe this is $6. Size of a street taco. Still starving. Taste was ok, but I'd need 4 of these which is very pricey. read more

Went to Torchy's today for an early dinner with my granddaughters. They ordered bean/cheese tacos, I ordered the "Democrat" taco and and order of queso and chips for us to share while waiting on our food. We received the queso and chips with our dinner, queso was mostly green chiles. My taco was ice cold. Not even luke warm. My granddaughters bean and cheese tacos had a teaspoon of beans and a few shredded cheese pieces, their food cold also. We were in a hurry so we threw our food away and left. Torchy's! What's up with this?? Total dissapointment and a waste of $. Please do better! read more

First time trying this place. We walked in and the atmosphere seemed pretty cool. Relaxed I guess. Sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us right away but after that she was horrible. Had to refill our own water (after waiting for her to help). A nice couple sat next to us and waited over 20 minutes to even be acknowledged. There were only 6 people at the bar. Our queso came out cold and the gentleman who brought it immediately apologized and brought us another one. He was great! The bartender never checked on us. Only when we were done eating did she even ask if I wanted another beer. Never asked how we liked the food, nothing at all. The tacos were ok. Definitely not worth the price. Would not be sad if I didn't eat there again. read more

Catchy name and ambience but Tacos were just ok. Had the Republican and green chili pork. They were unique but definitely lacked ingredients based on the pictures and for 5-6 bucks each, not sure I will return. Kinda on the same level as other chain taco joints. read more

I heard great things about Torchy's Tacos and was excited to finally try it, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the hype. What was delivered looked nothing like the photos online. It was extremely small and consisted of what seemed like a single chicken fry with a little bit of green chiles and cheese on top. For how much it costs, the portion and presentation were pretty ridiculous and disappointing. read more

Man oh man was it busy today when we walked in. I loved that with the opening this week they had beautiful live music playing on the patio and many employees there welcoming us and such. The location is really good size. When you walk in you have the option to either order at a self help kiosk or the counter where there were two employees there to help. I had never been to a Torchy's before so I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu and felt a bit rushed to order since there was a line forming. I settled on the Tralee Park Taco and a crossroads taco. My husband had the steak fajita and a brushfire. We also ordered a half order of the green chili queso and chips to share. I opted to try their small wildberry margarita as well. I was surprised to see a bar inside as well. That's awesome of you wanted to come have a few drinks and appetizers. There are TVs to watch as well. Service was great. We were given a number plate and everything was brought out to us. The bartender brought over my drink and let me know if I liked another I could order it with her directly at the bar. The food was great. I loved the trailer park taco so much. It was juicy yet crispy on the outside. It had a good spicy kick and I left happy. My margarita was made well and flavor on point. I can't wait to come back again. I'm already dreaming of that dang taco. Yum! read more

Very easy to order. Very pleasant workers. It's only been 40 minutes and we still haven't received our food. Two tacos and a salad? Beverage machine out of ice and they wonder around looking for your pager on the table to see if they are carrying your order. Very disorganized and very disappointed for our first experience. Will not recommend to others . read more

Loved Torchys! What a fun vibe when you enter and they have outdoor seating, which is perfect this time of year. The tacos were so good. The sauce they put on them is spicy but not too much so. They brought the food to our table and the staff came and helped clear as well. They have alcohol if you want to have a drink with your meal. We LOVED the chips and queso. I can't wait to go back and try other things. read more

The food is FABULOUS but it's so hot in here! We would have stayed for another margarita but it was uncomfortably hot inside for the Arizona heat. Crank that AC and I'll be back for more. Torchy's is one of my favorites, all the way from the first time I had it in Dallas, TX. read more

Brand new taco joint from Texas! Great tasting tacos, especially like any of the breakfast tacos. Service is very fast for a taco made from scratch. Both corn and flour tortillas are available for all tacos. Has at least three TVs in the bar area for sports. And also has one of the best bartenders I've seen in the west valley, Allie. She was friendly, engaging and service was spot on. Will be going back soon. read more

I've been to A LOT of taco spots in my life, and they're all between fine and good. So when a friend suggested we go here and that I would love it, I thought "sure, you can't really mess up a taco. Why not". I was very pleasantly surprised! I got 3 tacos ( do t remember the names but they all had avocado which is necessary for me to "love" something) queso, and the elote. All were amazing. Everything was super flavorful, when something was labeled as "spicy" it actually was and the food stuck out to me enough to remember it and want it again. Delicious and I would recommend to anyone who's bored of the same old tacos from every where else. read more

The food and the service. The tacos had a few pieces of meat and the people that came in 10 mins after I did got their order first.

FIRST TIME IN GREAT SPOT! All three tacos were 10/10 including my favorite the BRUSHFIRE TACO! The bartender Avery had a great attitude and great service! Also the CHURROS mmmm yummmy ! Will Definitely be visiting more read more

Completely raw chicken in the center of the taco. Husband and my child spat it out and brought it to their attention. We were offered for a new one to be made but at that point we were just fully disgusted. Salmonella cautionary. read more

Half order was missing, went to pick it up aside from what was delivered. Torchys has really dropped the ball in regards to food quality and cleanliness. Foil wrappers are soiled externally with residue, chicken fajita burrito partially covered in oil, and was eating veggie burrito and felt something hard-- ended up being a pebble in the food! Will be speaking to corporate about this location. Terrible experience. read more

Food was ok. Got home and my husbands burrito was missing the steak. Really!!!!! Service at register with Ervin was fantastic and helped this first timer with good info on all dishes. Delivery person was not friendly at all when asked to explain which sauce was which in my to go order. Said he didn't have time to talk to me I should talk to manager. Asked him to get manager and he did not. Could not get another servers attention. Again Ervin came to my rescue and explained the sauces and got me my missing items. Better customer service from other employees would have rated a five star review. read more

The food, service and price is amazing. Been to this spot several times and it never disappoints. The restaurant is also very clean and comfortable . read more

What a wonderful experience. Went in at 8pm on opening week & it was awesome. The food was good as well as the drinks. We ordered 2 baja shrimp tacos (one grilled and one fried), a fried avocado taco, & another one which I believe was a special (coconut shrimp taco). From the staff to the environment, everything was clean & quick. Will definitely be returning. New positive addition to Surprise! read more

I just returned from torchy's tacos Iin surprise, I usually eat there every Wednesday or Thursday, tonight I tried the brisket nachos instead of the half green chili queso I usually get which is also awesome, I ordered the fajita chicken taco which I get every week along with the brisket nachos. The nachos were covered with plenty of queso over the chips. the brisket was shredded and had great flavor add this with all the flavorful toppings and you have great nachos, the fajita chicken taco is stuffed full of chicken, peppers, onions and sauces. It is absolutely delicious. I want to commend the young man who takes my orders each week his name is Irvin He is polite, courteous has a great sense of humor goes out of his way to make sure your order is complete and correct. He has great customer service skills. Overall the complete staff from the bartender to the servers have been excellent. They have great happy hour prices. The restaurant is clean and has great atmosphere. read more

Okay, so the ordering is a bit slow and complicated when you first walk in... so walking up to the front to order with real humans is best IMO! They have been nice and patient as we look at the different options Torchy's offers. It's always been packed, pretty busy the times we've been in. It's an okay ambiance.. nothing too fancy or blah! It's cool. There's outside seating and I like that. Oh, there's a bar area and you can watch the games and funny videos they have playing while you eat and drink and hangout. So each time we've been... I've liked my tacos. The queso is really good and I can see why they promote that. I mean, you shouldn't get queso and chips wrong but you never know.. some people can jack up a good thing! Anyway, the food is a bit salty and on the expensive side! Come on Torchy's.. $6-$7 dollars for a taco?! Oooooo weeeee! Other than that, it's been nice having this place in Surprise! More options is great for the neighborhood! read more

Just finished lunch at Torchys Tacos and the ambience was very relaxing. However it's important to point out to the staff that the Democrat taco was way way too salty. They replaced the taco however the second taco was overly salted, as well. Hopefully they will be able to address this concern. read more

So excited about this place! One of my favorites when in Dallas Now it's here in Arizona! The food is absolutely delicious. Great variety of flavors. The service was great....

Service hood and friendly. Ordered four different Tacos and they were okay and would go back in a pinch! It's a bit of a drive from the house, but would I go back; maybe! It wasn't bad just to over the top , it sounds cute but not into the eclectic taste blend. read more

Ordered take out. Ordered a taco and a kids meal chicken strips. It took 20mins to make this and it wasn't even busy. After getting my food, I sat in my car to eat it and it was COLD!! How can you take 20mins to make my food and it be cold. No dipping sauce given for the chicken strips. The kids meal looked very sad and the side salad if you call it is too spicy for kids to eat. Prices are way too high. read more

Disgusting food saw a mouse run right past me After I had already finished eating , had got bad food poisoning

The Republican taco and other food was amazing. The customer service was just as good.

Cute location... Atmospheric... not the freshest nor best tacos... exaggerated pricing for soggy flavors and fat filled meats... happy to try but won't be back... read more

Good prices and large portions. Average quality. Good for a quick edible meal. Thanks for asking.

I have been to Torchy's in two states, and can I say this is the best one! As usual it was clean with nice ambiance! On a recent trip, I went out of my comfort zone on the recommendation of a manager named Nicholas. He was quite personable, and knowledgeable. We spoke about many topics including my allergies and he was surprisingly knowledgeable about them. He recommended the matador taco, and though it was out of my comfort zone, he was so convincing I went ahead and tried it. SO SO SO GLAD I listened to him! I was going to add a photo but it was so good. I ate it all before I could. Can't wait until my next trip through Surprise so I can go to this Torchy's! read more

They have the best queso ever!!! The chic fajita taco is so delish too! Great location and great service too.
