Love the tacos . I recently discovered the trailer park hillbilly style with chorizo and bacon on it along with the queso . My god was it heavenly. Also will make you feel guilty after eating it

Daniel Barnett

Breakfast tacos and beef fajitas will change your perspective on life in a good and bad way. Good because you'll remember them always fondly, bad because you'll probably never enjoy other tacos again.

Divya Mulanjur

Austin's best queso ! Order the brushfire taco . Spicy and delicious! The trailer park is good too.

Alex Schwarm

A typical, good torchys. Call ahead if you are eating lunch there during the week. Also, the to go tacos are considerably smaller than the eat in.

Gabe P

Really love most of the tacos that they have here. The fried avocado is great in corn . Wondering if they'll bring back the double wide?

Bryant Luk

Great Torchy's Tacos as usual and the place is nice. However there are few parking spaces at the Burnet location so be prepared to hunt for a spot.

Get the ranch hand taco with no sauce. It's like a breakfast taco . Love that they have main root soda .

Katy Thompson

Get the Scallywag while it's still the taco of the month and don't forget the street corn .

Alyssa Almeida

Best queso for the price + unlimited tortilla chips if you ask!

Rob Carpenter

Friendly faces taking my order. When I told them I was a Torchy's virgin it brought out the artist in them!

Pauly G

tacos tacos tacos tacos tacos . Order from the sacred menu!

Rami Ismail

It's a little Torchy's, which means it's good and fast tex-mex. They do serve Mexican Coke .

Courtenay Bird

Get the green chili carnitas taco . It's huge and one of the best tacos I've ever had. Yum!

Sheila Ferlet

The green chili pork taco is amazing. It is also gluten free .

Kaleb Fulgham

Their Republican taco hits the spot with its link of spicy sausage & pico

Chris Taylor

Taco size depends on who's making them... Sometimes 3 strips of meat, sometimes you can't even close the tortilla . Just means you have to come more often! And tip well !

Melon L

Delicious breakfast tacos but doesn't hold a torch to Veracruz .

Jay Weinshenker

There's a secret menu

Rachael

I've only recently discovered the greatness of their fajita taco

Caitlyn Bates

The egg , potato , and cheese (#2, I think) breakfast taco is hands down the best taco I have ever had.

John-Ross Cromer

Skip the (great) soda to get water with fresh cut lemon and/or lime if you want more than one taco .

The Crypto Show Sessoms

How ridiculous is it that when you're the only person in line you shouldn't have to wait for a cashier to take 2 separate phone orders. Get a damn call taker.

Beth McKinney

Yes. Ben L is correct, everyone besides me go to the other locations. This one will only make you sick/bored/angry/inmyway. Now... Finally, I can enjoy my Dirty Sanchez and Beer in peace .

Orion

I can vouch for both the Brushfire and the Dirty Sanchez -- two things I never thought I'd include in the same sentence. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
