We are staying at Dell's children's hospital with our infant and wanted to grab a quick bite and drink nearby for a mental break. This location is pretty awesome, because they have a really great outdoor area. Dave behind the bar was super cool. He suggested some off menu items and customized a cocktail for my husband, and very spicy margarita. The food, drinks, and service never disappoint with Torchy's!
Best tacos and queso ever. Love the atmosphere and the staff are great! Democrat and the Baja shrimp taco are my favs. Order ahead on line and you can skip the long line and just pick up.
Had a girls day in Austin and this was are 1st stop. We loved every minutes of it, the atmosphere, food, and drinks were super delicious!! Are friends had told us that this was the best place to eat, and they were right!! For sure will be back. I had the tipsy chick, it was super yummy especially with the bacon sauce.
The service was very friendly and fast. Food was amazing! Can't wait to go back. We were just visiting from San Diego so I was a bit worried we would be let down, definitely not the case here! Great flavor with unique combinations.
Thoroughly enjoyed the shaded outdoor patio that is pet friendly. Food was very tasty but would return simply for the chips, quess o and beer. Quess o had a wonderful spice taste to it. Terrific seating with oversized picnic tables or bar top seating to fit any party size and very clean. A real relaxed atmosphere. Will return next time in town.
First time to ever eat at a Torchy’s. It was enough to make me addicted! Will be back! Excellent service. Amazing food!

My husband and I flew to Austin from Kansas City and tried Torchy's for the very 1st time yesterday & we are hooked! The staff was very hospitable and knowlegable of the menu and the food was amazing & the atmosphere was modern and beautiful. The only thing we didn't like was the weird soda selections. I'm looking forward to eating here again when we fly back in November!
Great experience here the Manager on staff checks up on the customer..The Food we ordered was Fast, Hot, and Fresh...
Love Torchy's, love their approach, love their Diablo Sauce. And this is the best location, no doubt!
We got pulled out of the line because they said there were two spots at the bar. This lady confiscated them for her friends. We found table for two and kim had Cameron serve us! Exceptional service, amazing food! Will definitely be returning to this one again!
The tacos are fabulous especially the fried catfish taco. I’m glad they are in Houston as well as in Austin!
Good food , but I’m think y the burrito 🌯 is to small for the price firts time here visiting from California restaurant is clean the cashier was so nice and friendly flavor is good 😊 I’ll be back here again yesssss I hope my burrito this time is gonna be bigger Lmao 🤣 good job all guacamole 🥑 was good to a lot parking I love the decoration
Food was good but it was sooo slow. It was a Friday night around 8, can't speak to whether it is that way regularly.
Definitely kind of a fast food chain joint but very unique and tasty. I had the sangria and the tipsy chick. The sangria was delicious and the taco was packed full of flavor (and toppings). Prices were reasonable. I"ll be back!
Great tacos. Friendly staff. The service is a bit slow especially if you come super early for dine in but the tacos 🌮 are worth it. They have a good selection for vegetarians. I have tried all the vegetarian tacos. Today I had the migas taco. It was good. The tortilla strips were actually crispy!!! My one complaint is there was too much egg the tortilla strips got lost in there. But the egg was cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the avocado 🥑 on top and the chiles. However I did add some of the orange salsa because i like my tacos super spicy 🥵 the chips and cheese are also quite good. The flavor of the seasoning that’s in the cheese is delicious highly recommend
Not the first time dining in here, cannot remember when was the last time here, perhaps was pre-pandemic. Anywho, I was so surprised how much portion they serve on a taco. Definitely loaded of all yummies. The bar didn’t see our drink ticket and delayed our drink, but she definitely made it up with a BERRY delicious kick! I would recommend here to just come and chill, great environment to hangout!
I ordered the pork carnitas and barbacoa tacos. Both were excellent and were stuffed with meat.
Have been going here since it opened 6-7 years ago. It’s actually one of the better bars in Lakeway which says more about Lakeway than Torchy’s.
Don’t miss the green chile queso which on any given day might be the best in Central Texas assuming QC is paying attention.
And have them pull you a Mexican beer to go along with it.
I had a wonderful experience with customer service. Very upbeat and efficient people working there. Didn't have to wait long at all to get my food. Not to mention the least but the food was amazing, as always. Here is a picture of my favorite thing from the menu, Brushfire Torchy's Tacos! It has mango bits in there!!!
I’ve been to many Torchy’s all over Austin and this one is by far my new favorite location. Large parking lot, plenty of outdoor seatings, and the food is excellent. I ordered the Cross Road and Baja Shrimp. I feel like the tacos are much bigger here than the take outs that I usually get from the Spicewood location, but it might just be my imagination.
One thing to note is that they only have 2 cashiers when I visited, so you may have to wait a bit to order. The parking lot, while big, can also be pretty crowded during rush hours.
We don't get to eat Torchy's often because there's none where we live but anytime we go to ATX we make sure to stop by.
This was first visit to this location but it's as great as all the others. Same great food, service, affordability.
There are a billion taco options in austin, and torchys is just another, but they do a slightly more adventurous taco. I like the flavors of their monthly tacos, I love that they have great vegetarian options. The salads are a sleeper hit.
Quick stop. Surprisingly delighted by the quality of the food at this chain restaurant. Margarita was delicious! The outdoor space was lovely.
Really cool selection, the fried avocado taco is great but the Independent is where it's at. The friend mushrooms are thick and crispy, and the toppings of avocado, veggies and beans tie it all together to be extremely satisfying. A taco for everyone, and a really cool aesthetic.
Perfect lunch. Visiting from New York and the staff guided me to the best items. Elote was so yummy! Tacos were delicious. So happy to have finally eaten at a Torchys !
Delicious queso and tacos, all of the tacos are great. I wish there were more vegetarian/meatless options!! The salad wasn't bad, but next time I'll stick to the sides. They are all so so good!
Quick service staple tacos. I’ve had Torchys before and thought it would be great for catering. You can place an order for catering online but there is not an option for delivery. (Despite them telling me I could do it on door dash). Pickup was super easy and they even helped carry the bags to the car. They remembered everything too and it was all packed carefully. The food was for 20 people which was more than we needed. However everything was soooo much spicer than I remember. We all struggled actually so that was a little disappointing.
The service was as good as the Baja shrimp taco and the Tito's cherry limeade-delicious! I also recommend the green chile queso and chips.
