Really good taco...had the Trailer Park and Crossroads(brisket). Really full after the Trailer Park, nice portions. About $9.50 total and worth it but I waited almost 25 mins for a take out. This is not FAST casual.

Feel bad for you if you can’t enjoy a torchy’s taco. Of course it’s not authentic Mexican food or street tacos and it doesn’t claim to be.

It’s still tasty.

It is. It's just a newly opened store. Plus you probably went when it was packed.

Torchys is not authentic Mexican tacos and doesn't claim to be. We have legit Mexican and Tex-Mex within BR and especially just outside of BR in Gonzales.


Torchys is just delicious.

Mr Taco was better for authentic Mexican tacos

Torchys doesn’t really offer that

Loved TT’s when we lived in Dallas. Went to BR location Sunday and it didn’t disappoint. For $4-5 you get a big arse taco. Good queso and salsa.

Fave tacos were the crossroads, fried avocado, and the dirty sanchez (not on BR menu - fried poblano, egg, etc).

I've been to Torchy's several times in Texas over the years but it had been a while until I went to the new Torchy's in Shreveport last weekend. It was good but Ki Mexico in Shreveport has way better tacos

Everyone laugh at the douche who thinks food should only exist in absolutes.

I thought it was OK but I certainly didn't understand what all of the hype was about

For sure. I love when people try to overthink Torchys. shite I will be at the Kingwood location for 3.50 bloodys and a ranch hand. Can’t beat it for under $10.
