    Hey If you are reading this and looking to have some tacos 🌮..! I think you should guess no further about this place, this incredible place was told to me by a friend and relative I thought we should just try it as mentioned without fail by my friend. This is the best taco ever so juicy and stuffy I have ever had in a taco place in Houston. The best ever bite of every flavour filled with richness of meat and spices you will ever have in every single bite here. I really recommend people to go here for for their tacos, to be honest we are coming back again from NY to be your guest. No wonder why you have so much wait time all the time at your restaurants. The servers are really nice and helpful for you to order. Love this place to the most for Tacos. Forgot to take many pics as was indulging in this flavour after ordering. ❤️🌮❤️

    Queso dip was awesome so was the moFaux tacos. Loved both. $6 for 1 taco is a little steep though. Would be great if they had some sort of loaded Nachos too. Friendly service.

    Love me some great torchy‘s tacos! These are some really unique and unusual taco compilations, but they taste great. Favorite is the Trashy Trailer Park. Also, they have a secret menu.

    Torchy’s Tacos are so good. Staff is polite and work fast. Very unique flavors. I love the Democrat and Trailer Park. The queso is probably the best I’ve ever had! Get it with chorizo added, my gosh so good. (All shown in pictures). My only gripe would be the parking. Parking was 100% full with only about 50% of customer capacity inside the restaurant. Parking Tip - there’s a closed down KFC on the corner. I followed other cars going there. Park there and walk… it’s a short walk. Enjoy!

    Ambience was amazing, cuisine was distinct from other Mexican eateries and tasted great, street corn was interesting and delicious, recommended spot for Mexican food

    Place was amazing! The food was so good and they came out so quick and fresh. Highly recommend the the street corn. So many options to choose from. The only problem I would say was the amount of birds outside flying around your food but you can’t do anything about that. But overall 10/10 recommend.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch! The food was AMAZING!! Taste great came out steaming and fresh!! Jason and his staff were absolutely incredible and fantastic! We had the option to dine inside or outside and the weather was just perfect for the patio! Great beer selections as well. Totally recommend!!!

    I loved this place! The cashier showed us some secret menu items so we ended up trying like 8 different tacos! The gm was talking to us and I didn't even know they had one up in Indy! Nice restaurant, good food, and the staff was great

    I had been to Torchy’s before but it had been well over 5 years. I don’t remember the taste that well but I know all the food was good. Plus they were highly recommended by family and friends. We ordered, trailer park extra trashy, fiesta steak and a democrat taco. Along with chips & queso, kids quesadilla and street corn. Trailer park was ok at best. The way people were recommending it left and right was nowhere to be found. The taco was ok - 5/10. The rest of the two were good enough to make the entire experience worthwhile. Chips & queso and the street corn were the stars of the show. They were mind boggingly delicious. When I visit next time, that’s all I’d probably get. Regardless of the underperforming food as a whole, I give it 4 stars because of the service. The lady was nice enough to give us free tacos for next time.

    My favorite tacos are Chorizo, eggs and cheese in a corn tortilla. So if you come to Houston stop by because you won’t regret. They have an awesome green Chile queso with chorizo.

  • 4/5 Sybrina B. 9 months ago on Google
    The tacos were okay, I’ve had way better in Houston. It was bland without adding the sauce- not flavorful enough for me. The queso and chips was good though. I got the Crossroads, chicken fajita (liked more) and mr orange (liked less).

    Such great tacos that are well worth trying if you’re new to Texas! I enjoy the Republican and Trailer Park Trashy. Also, get the chips and quest dip with chorizo, very tasty.

  • 3/5 Andres Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Won’t be coming back here specially during lunch. Girl sitting behind register was sad,down and was not motivated to even have a job. No replies from her on anything commented to her. The only words were “” your total is $11.27. One Burrito took 27 minutes because apparently The Food apps service take priority and the inside customer is not important. Nice place nice pictures but my reviews are only and square.

    The location was perfect for my event today. The cashier was amazing. But I order this extra trashy and I don't even see regular trash on this order. The republican was very good and tasty.

  • 3/5 Ravi T. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to this place after looking for fast food centers near this location, looking at the good reviews. The food in this restaurant is good, a little on the expensive side though for a fast food center. I ordered for a dine in option but somehow got the food To Go. The order was ready but I was not intimated that it is ready. I had ordered twice and both times I had to go to the counter to check after a long wait time, to check if the order is ready. Note to owner - Three stars is not a bad review it is just that there were some issues as mentioned above.

  • 2/5 Jacqueline R. 1 year ago on Google
    The street corn was disappointing. I am pretty sure it was missing several ingredients. It was just corn and ancho aioli sauce. No cheese, no cilantro, so I wish I could have sent it back if I didn’t do a to-go order. The whole order was over $17 bucks

  • 3/5 bamm b. 2 years ago on Google
    Tacos pretty dam good, but nothing special... although i will say the jalapeños were super fresh.. the lettuce slightly wilted, pico decent. The salsa roja made the chips and salsa a winner. Fried cookie dough balls.. MEH.. Maybe because they were cold? Bathroom wasn't clean, cole in a glass bottle is always a hit

    I've long heard of the Torchys brand and was so happy to go by and try whilst we were down here in Texas and loved it. This particular store said they had just re-opened like 3 hrs before we got there so there were some hiccups expected but in the end, we got everything we wanted and more. Loved having so many taco options and the special queso dip was just as good as the woman at the counter recommended. They were very friendly and helpful for us first-timers. Also, not for nothing, good sweet tea too.

  • 5/5 TINA K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was awesome! Our first time there and the girl at the register was happy to help us through the menu! We loved it so much we found another Torchys to visit in our home state to get more of it!
