This place is laid back and inexpensive. They have an Austin taco shop vibe. I suggested you add a side of queso and chips. to your order of tacos. If you feel adventurous check out their "secret menu" by googling Torchy's Taco secret menu. They are great for Tex-Mex, Breakfast and Brunch. M-F they have a drink special too.

I try to be gluten free but if I am going to cheat I will definitely get a personal sized bunt cake. They have deliciously moist cakes with creamy icings. You can't go wrong with any flavor but my fav is White Chocolate Raspberry with a cream cheese icing.

Their homemade hummus made top in Dallas in 2020. My favorite dish is the chicken kabobs with a side of roasted cauliflower (so good) and cabbage slaw! It’s great if you would like healthier fast casual food. I order online and bring home. They will bring your order out to your car!
