The fried avocado taco , green chile queso dip are great. Lots of vegetarian options & they have a special gluten free menu (but you need to ask).

Jim Graham

Order the trashy trailer park , excellent queso with a piece of tasty fried chicken . Can't go wrong with the signature fried avocado either.

Terry Lange

First time here with some work colleagues on Friday. Get here early at lunch otherwise, line will be out the door. Great food, great soda and I am not much of a soda drinker.

Dallas Cigar Art Queen

Excellent food. Just ordered from door dash. Ordered the Trailer Park Trashy. Food was on time and hot. Delicious no mistakes made on order.

Jenn

Try the Green Chile Pork Taco ! The Dirty Sanchez is tasty with the crisp poblano pepper...and really, anything with eggs is tasty. Especially the Trailer Park Trashy style.

Casey Baggz

For great vegan options try the independent with no cheese , no chipotle sauce , a corn tortilla , and grilled portobello mushrooms .

Stew

Trailer Park Extra Trashy ! Oh and don't forget to get chips and queso ! Best queso ever!

Jillian Pandav

The Wrangler breakfast taco is amazing. This is one of the best taco places I've ever been to.

Stephanie Cadet

New airsteam salad with every possible yummy Tex mex salad topping...was v delish and enjoyable

Thrillist

All ingredients - except New Mexican green chiles - at this top taco spot are TX-grown, with “Damn Good Tacos” like the cheese & pico fried-chicken “Trailer Park .” Read more

ashley baker taylor

Delicious tacos . Would like alot more salsa . Those small take out sizes are just a drip portion.

Janet Morrison

Fried avacado and brushfire tacos are great! Fried cookie at the end is worth having. Would like to try their pumpkin crusted chicken tacos .

Scott Norris

All tacos are good and tasty combos. Non-partisan opinion: the Democrat taco is better than the Republican

Lee Diaz

Get the Democrat , and then add an extra tortilla ! You can easily split the meat into two tacos !

Dallas Foodie (Danielle G.)

Torchy's is like a slightly more mainstream version of the crazy taco fillings at Good 2 Go Taco , but Torchy's has more menu options. They were originally a food truck in Austin.

Try the The Libertarian - ProTip: If you ask nicely at the Preston one, they might still make one even if it's not on the menu .

Debra Umlauft

The orange and pink tacos are both excellent. Ask for a selection of sauces on this side to trial them.

Emmaline Loman

The fried avocado tacos are the best. Either corn or flour tortillas - you can't go wrong

Alicia Chang

They just revamped their menu. I love Mr. Orange . It used to be a monthly special, glad it is a regular now!

Lannhi Tran

tacos are good, but service and consistency are spotty. if ordering to-go, check it. they get forget sauces and items in the order all the time.

Micheline Hynes

Try the The Democrat , Green Chili Pork & Street Corn - My first taste of Torchy's!

Amanda Kerschen

Fried avocado and Dirty Sanchez tacos are great vegetarian options . Queso is to die for! Plus they have Dublin Dr. Pepper in the fountain !

h v

Try the The Double Wide - Chicken fried steak on a taco , lol. Could prolly do with less queso .

h v

Try the The Scallywag - Yay, August's taco . Pretty awesome. Can't go wrong with shrimp and bacon .

Dale Herdman

Holy Diver and Mr Pink are my favorites. Of course the breakfast tacos are all great, too!

Jake Batsell

The Ace of Spades is too much -- brisket , sausage link AND a fried egg . Stick with the classics, like Trailer Park , Democrat or Dirty Sanchez .

Cody Rudnick

Get the ace of spades. It's off the menu but it is phenomenal.

Clara

Best chips and Queso , has a nice spicy kick !!! Go for the Crossroads!!!!

CoachCalorie.com

Healthy Eating Tip - Get the fajita plate. Chicken for meat. No tortilla . Eat the beans and pico . Drink water.

Brinn Black

Try the mr pink ahi tuna taco .. And the queso ! It is my new fav restaurant in Dallas ( besides la madeline of course)

Sky Avlogitos

Love the tacos ! My fav is the Crossroads with smoked briscut, avacados , cilantro and queson fresco . Its amazing.

Joshua Chato

Get the Trailer Park extra trashy and don't forget to order the queso . Get some nookie when you're done too!

Nikki

The Naughty Santa is the best taco of the month they've had!

Jessica Sanford

Best tacos in Dallas, and always a stop for breakfast in ATX! Try the Democrat and the Pink - both are awesome!

My New Favorite Resturant! Watch out friends, I'm taking you ALL there at some point.

Jennifer Spera

they have cream soda , root beer made with pure can sugar as well as Dublin Dr Pepper in the fountain .

Johnathan Barr

The queso is a drug. Always get that with two Crossroads.

Michelle Gamradt

Get a Migas taco and add chorizo - it will be the best breakfast taco you will eat in Dallas.

Asif Aziz

A bit on the pricey side. You can find better and cheaper in oak cliff.

Jennifer O

Michael Nicholson

I was a fan of the food truck . The brick and mortar not so much so. Seems like they lost their flair and taste with this. Sigh. Maybe I'll have a better experience another time.

Valirie Morgan

Chicken fajita with chips and guacamole is the best!!!

Clint

Torchys is always a reliable choice

Marku

Trailer Park ...get it trashy! A beautiful messy goodness! Queso is great too!
