Mr Pink Taco and the Crossroads Taco are both excellent. So is the queso and the Fried Avacado taco . You might as well order 1 of everything! But it woukd take you about 20 visits.

Kailyn Loggins

The Trailer Park (make sure to get it trashy) & the chicken fajita tacos were enough to satisfy my taste buds. Two are enough to fill you, but I can assure you that you are going to want more!

Josh Ferrara

FIRST: Get the queso , it's literally the best you've ever had. (The guac ) is also great. Then, tacos ! The Crossroads is awesome, order the Trailer Park (Brittany Spears style!), and then Mr. Pink !

John Cassillo

I love all Torchy's locations. Can't go wrong with any of the tacos on the menu, and the salsa is delicious (so definitely order some chips ).

Ofir Weinstock

They have a secret menu and the taco with the brisket is phenomenal

Sebastian Rivas

Better than the Westheimer location, and the hype seems to have passed so long lines out the door only happen on the weekend if ever. The green chile queso is a must while waiting for your tacos .

Patrick Haley

The chips and queso here is delicious, but google Torchy 's Secret Menu to see what really makes this place stand out. The Jack of Clubs is probably the best vegetarian option here.

Dustin Haley

Get the queso ! My favorite taco is the trailer park (make it trashy!).

HardLickHer

Alabama Shake Taco (Catfish , poblano slaw , Cotija Cheese & Peppadew Peppers ): AWESOME 👏🏾

Indre Laba

Such a nice gem! Great recommendations on food by staff . I loved it and would highly recommend 😍😍

Tarren Blake

These were seriously the best tacos I've ever had! The Mr. Orange was amazing!

Chris Clewell

The mr pink was ok but the independent and the street corn are delicious items I think I may have found my new fave food place

Rick H

Damn. Good. Food. Period. Taco of the month is usually outstanding! Get the Naughty Santa if they have it.

Kelly Ruffer

Favorite taco place I've ever been to. Eclectic tacos , no "typical" sodas , and the queso is to DIE for!!!!

Paola D

The tacos and guacamole were worth the 25 minute wait outside! Will definitely be back for more!

Jofre Rodriguez

Beef fajita , chicken fajita , & barbacoa tacos were delicious!!!

Dixie Whitaker Boykin

Love their queso ! The Baja shrimp tacos are a must have.

Nicole

Try the Trailer Park Taco and be sure to "get it trashy". The Blueberry Soda is an added bonus! 👍👍

Amol Utrankar

Torchy's is cheap , pretty fast, and great quality. My favorite item is the Republican. Also -- try the various sauces!

Francesca Okolie

Amazing tacos !! I recommend the Baja Shrimp and the Democrat . Both were delicious!!!

Sofia Anaya

Tacos here are AMAZING! "The Independent" and "Fried Avocado " tacos are delicious and vegetarian !

David Carr

Release a taco of the month on the first of every month. Best tacos in Houston, hands down.

Tracy B

Want seating? And not fighting the crowds of kids and parents you will find on Friday nights? Come after 2 pm on Sundays.

Sólveig Sigurðardóttir

Tacos from heaven! Personal favorite: Brushfire and independent

Fez

Gourmet tacos for the well-heeled. A single taco averaging 4.50! The flavors are deep and distint. Service is friendly .

Andres Elizondo

Order a Republican and the Baja Shrimp . Always try the sauce pairing.

Raeallene

Order the Democrat Taco (Barbacoa ) Crossroads Taco (Brisket ).

Quinton B

The best queso I've ever had and the Trailer Park taco is great!

Chad Smalley

For some reason this place is a T-Mobile deadzone. No cell signal whatsoever... but it's worth it!

Arsalan Hashemi

The taste is good & prices are moderate, fits for a nice evening snack

Eveline Rosegrant

Love this place! Beef fajitas are wonderful

Andrew

If you aren't too full after your tacos , get some lil nookies.

Ivimto

If u sit inside you might not get a signal. This can be a good thing or a bad thing

Yi-Chiao Lee

Ace of spade. Or just google torchy 's secret menu . Have to warn you, this one is twice the size.

Yvette Han

Get the Trailer Park . And don't be classy , make it Trashy.
