Torchys Tacos - Austin

Delicious food! We had potato/chorizo, potato egg, green chile pork tacos… cheese dip. Everything was delicious! Cashier was so helpful and friendly!

Torchys always delivers. I just wish you could still buy the sauce in bottles!

We were in town for a fun weekend with family and had recommendations to stop by Torchy's, any time of day, for good local tex-mex, especially breakfast burritos so we made a point of stopping by and tryung it out. There were 4 of us, so we sampled quite a few tacos. Every taco was good; some were even great! Overall, a pretty good mix of flavors and toppings. Proteins seemed fresh and cooked on site. Loads of flavor. It wasn't busy when we stopped in and the staff was friendly. You order at the front and then the food is eiter delivered to your table (nice touch) or you are given a pager. We had the pager, but they did drop off the food for us. Service was quick and the food came out hot. Non alcohol drinks are self-served. I chose to mix up my fresh tea with some flavors (mango lemonade). Tasty. There is also what looks like a full bar, wine, and beer available. The food was tasty and fresh. The queso was fine but I wouldn't spend $8 on it again. The green chili taco had good flavor but was a bit dry. The barbacoa had amazing flavor but felt a bit greasy. The Trailor Park had fantastic fried chix. Crispy and fresh. Comes with a light and cooling cilantro sauce. be warned Diablo sauce is no joke (P.S. the Diablo sauce is also drizzled on top of the queso! )Seems like a good quick spot to grab some simple bites. Worth trying but probably not the very best Austin has to offer.

The options for the tacos are fantastic, this franchise is mostly in Austin so it would be awesome to see this in other states. Each taco has unique toppings and ingredients as they are all custom made. The chips/queso is a fantastic sharable too, and the drinks are always fun to get. The prices (around $5-6) are reasonable as the tacos are pretty big and fulfilling.

My first visit to a Torchy 's despite there being several near my home this one was 250 miles away. I heard this was the original. Amazingly we were able to park at 11:30am and it wasn 't crowded at all (don 't tell anyone, lol). I didn 't know what to get, so I just ordered 2 chicken tacos and they were excellent, especially with the green sauce that comes on the side. Maybe they could put some hot sauce on the tables which could make it interesting. 2 were perfect and kept me going til dinner. Keep up the good work!
