“Chef Tony (and I do mean CHEF), put together menus that are perfect for the person who wants to be adventurous…yet still wants to make sure they enjoy their meal.The service is consistent, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect. Nothing overdone yet classy.For Easter it was fun to spot the Easter eggs.The fact that we had to make reservations shows its popularity.For brunch I had Migas and the sauce for the Carne Guisada was the best I’d had in 20+ years. You can always count on good food. Great job Chef Tony and TEAM!!Joe N“

“This was my first time going to this establishment. I ordered the veggie fajitas with beef and let me tell you….it was amazingly delicious! It had onions, bell peppers, squash, carrots and we added jalapeños. This dish was so full of flavor! The salsa was an even balance of spice and the chips were nice and crisp. The food came out fast and our server, KJ served a party of fifteen without any hiccups. I will definitely return! You can also get cocktails while you wait to be seated.Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair friendly and disabled friendly as they have an elevator.“

This morning we ordered 2 steak, egg, and bean burritos and I am annoyed with myself for taking so long to visit. Top 3 breakfast burritos hands down! Neatly wrapped, bot soggy with oils, and evenly portioned to the T. I will be back!“

“After much deliberation, we ordered The Grande. This consists of a cheese stuffed poblano, cheese, chicken and beef enchiladas, a tamale, a crispy taco and rice & beans. There is also a dollop of guacamole. This is a great dish if you can't decide on one or two items, or if you want guaranteed leftovers. Outside of the rice being a little dry, everything was hot and flavorful. I can also recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp, even though we didn't get them this time. We sat in the bar section but it wasn't too loud as some can be, and our server was prompt and helpful.“

“Waitress Jillian was very nice and offered great service. Chips and salsa were tasty. Ordered a couple of appetizers; the fried mushrooms and the spicy breaded cheese curds. The mushrooms were really good, my husband thought the curds had a good kick and kept eating them I really enjoyed them as well. Main courses were the create your own combos. Rice and beans were delicious. Husband enjoyed his sauce less enchiladas (don't ask) and I got the sour cream chicken enchilada and chicken chile relleno which were petty good. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend visiting. I have been informed that I didn't even get the full experience because we did not play any games nor any drinks from the bar, per my husband.“

“I love this place. It would be the one restaurant I’d worship. Ode to Fuzzy’s. The shredded brisket nachos are absolutely to die for and can cure hunger, hangovers, hangry tendencies, and even keep a relationship together. I wanted to dump my boyfriend so badly and all he did was bring me to Fuzzy’s and said “eat me”. How could Fuzzy’s get any better? Richard. Talk about a stand up guy! This man is the most welcoming and professional hard-worker. I am always greeted with kindness and for that, I could eat fuzzy’s for the rest of my life.“

The Fajitas were perfect, the flavor and seasoning of the meat and veggies were a party in my mouth, just right amount of grill time, not to crunchy or soggy. And folks can mess up rice and beans....but not these folks.“

“? Superb dinner! We ordered the Fajita Trio, which comes with chicken, shrimp, and beef fajitas with grilled onions red and green bell peppers. It also came with blackbeans and their version of Mexican rice. Alongside an order of flour tortillas, salsa, sour cream, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and guacamole. We arrived during Happy Hour, so we ordered a classic frozen Margarita, a blackberry blitz, and a Modelo. Our second entrée was the 6oz sirloin steak, cooked medium rare with sautéed asparagus and corn on the cob. It was fantastic and cooked to perfection ?Parking: No difficulties finding parking after 5 o'clock on a Monday“

“I ordered some catering on a relatively short notice (ordered on Tuesday to pick up on Thursday). I wanted to pick up the order at 11:30am yesterday, but the website would only let me set the pick up time for noon. I reached out to the location via phone, and the manager was very accommodating and kept my information written down so he'd know to have my order ready early. I got to Torchy's around 11:20 on Thursday, and the order was already ready! The manager even carried the order to my vehicle, which I can greatly appreciate being heavily pregnant. Not long after, I needed to put in additional orders for vegetarian options (to no fault of Torchy's, I just didn't know we had vegetarians). They were very quick to get the orders made and I was back at the office in no time! The staff was very caring and made sure everything went perfectly. I'll make sure to order more in the future, though; the food was so delicious it went super quickly!Dietary restrictions: The website is very clear about whether the menu items contain common allergens/sensitive foods.“

“I am fairly new to Lubbock. It was my first time visiting this establishment today. Walking in I was greeted by Lee who was exceptionally nice and helped me with my order. I ordered the carnitas nachos. They were delicious! The chips were light and crispy and the white queso bomb! The meat had the right amount of seasoning and very tender. Ask for the additional guacamole. It’s a must. Fresh avocados. My coworker had the chicken salad and loved it! Lee informed me breakfast is also amazing. I will for sure be going back!“

“Local college bar with eats. Good atmosphere for the most part. Ordered the beef nachos, which is big enough for two. I ordered avocado slices on them and was given 3 little slices for .99 cents. They have a topping bar so you can add your own. Really should have guacamole on the menu. Be prepared to be carded, no matter what age you are. I am 56 and still got carded before entry.“

“I had the super tostada instead of my usual go to for Mexican food, the taco, because I'm tired of not getting a nice balance of veggies, meat, and cheese. This tostada was DELICIOUS! The toppings were well stacked and the shell stayed nice and crispy for the entire meal. Highly recommend and will be back.“
