Feb 2026: We are back at Torchy's for breakast on a dull and dreary weekend morning. A breakfast Burrito from Torchy's were just what we needed to banish the blues. It's a great way to start the day. Nov 2025: Breakfast tacos at Torchy’s may be one of the things Austin is best known for. This Torchy’s is spacious and has an outdoor area that has plenty of seating and a big screen TV showing ESPN. My daughter, who graduated from UT and apparently ate many tacos during her time in Austin, suggested the place, and she, of course, ate tacos. My wife and i opted for a burrito each. They were delicious. This is counter service where you stand in line to order your food and soft drinks, then there is a bar where you stand in line to order beer and wine. After paying for our food we got a disc that tells the person delivering your food where you are, so you find a table put your disc in the table and wait for your food to arrive. Which it does quite quickly. Everything tasted good, the burritos were tasty and filling and the breakfast tacos were OK, except the cheese could have been melted a little more,

You’ve got to try Torchy’s. As a native Texan, I turned up my nose at Torchy’s when I first tried them. I compared them to west coast tacos, and contrasted that with our good old fashioned, Texan tacos. But, enough friends and family loved them so much, that I kept finding myself going back. It was when I set aside my bullheadedness, and stopped comparing them to something else, that I was finally able to appreciate how good they really are. Seriously, if you haven’t tried them, or if you’re too proud like I was, then you need to go there with an open mind, and allow yourself to experience the joy that is a good taco.

Torchy’s Tacos is the kind of place that makes you rethink what a taco can be. From the first bite, the flavors hit — bold, creative, and perfectly balanced. Every taco on the menu feels like it was designed to surprise you in the best way possible. The tortillas are fresh and warm, the ingredients are high quality, and the combinations are fun without being gimmicky.
I tried a few favorites (including the Trailer Park and the Brushfire), and each one was unique, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sauces are excellent — spicy where they should be and rich where they need to be. Their queso is worth ordering on the side just to dip everything in.
Service was friendly and quick, even during the lunch rush, and everything came out hot and fresh. The vibe is casual and lively, perfect for grabbing a meal with friends or just a quick bite that feels special.
If you love tacos that go beyond the ordinary — bold flavors, fun twists, and consistently delicious execution — Torchy’s is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

We love going to Torchy’s, luckily this location was right by our hotel while in town and we could walk over. Always good and enjoyed the hillbilly queso.

Usually really good service. Awesome food. Went in recently about an hour before closing and nobody manning the register. The screen you can order on wasn’t allowing us to add more than one item. Had to go hunt someone down to help. Only time I have had a problem here.

I love how no matter which location you go to, the food is the SAME!!! Continuity is huge!! When you love something and order it each place you go and it tastes the same... KUTOS to the business! Not to mention the atmosphere is always vibrant and tasteful!! Love going to any location and feeling the same in each!

I appreciate the consistency of this Torchy's. The queso is always top-notch and the staff is well trained in customer service.
We usually sit at the bar and receive great service every time. The staff is friendly, and our food always comes out fresh and hot. If there's any need to switch it up or we made a mistake in ordering, they fix it in the blink of an eye. My favorite late night or after work go to.

terrible attention, I called a few minutes ago and ask for the manager, he answer and he says that he couldn’t attend my question because he was on his lunch and then he hung up the call very contemptuously, mm ok?? and then why he answer? or maybe just saying call back at some hour🙄, TERRIBLE hospitality

Our favorite taco spot. The food quality is really good for the price, the service and speed has no flaws I can think of. The queso is legendary. (Their secret menu is full of DELICIOUS and great value items!!) They always have good parking at this location and they recently got a Horchata and Cold Brew coffee dispenser. It's torchy's! What can I say?
