Frequently asked questions about Torchy's Tacos
Torchy's Tacos Odessa Reviews
Great atmosphere and soft modern music playing. Great for a luncheon with business associates.
I had an absolutely amazing experience at Torchy’s Tacos, and it was all thanks to the best waiter ever Krysta! From the moment we sat down, they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely excited to make sure we had a great meal.
I visit every time I'm in Odessa. The food is unique and flavorful. Stop by and try, you won't regret it!
Krista was fantastic! Attentive, and accurate. Constantly busy despite being pregnate. The service here has improved and I will be back! Especially if I can sit with krista.
Very clean torchys. Attentive bar tender. Brenda is so sweet. Staff is in a chill mood. The place is clean. Orders come out fast and correct.
Rose is always very friendly and ready to help. I really enjoyed the Baja shrimp from here. It was delicious.
My granddaughter's husband treated me to his favorite taco after visiting my sister in ICU Matthew hospital. The employees were very cordial and friendly. Our food was prepared promptly.
I want to take a moment to recognize the workers at Torchy’s. They work hard every day in a fast-paced environment, often dealing with difficult situations and the common misconception that “the customer is always right.” Despite this, they consistently remain professional, kind, and attentive. It’s not easy to balance speed, accuracy, and great customer service while facing challenging guests, but these servers do it with patience and a smile. They handle pressure and in a rare case even handle harassment from rude customers' with professionalism. The truth is, customers aren’t always right but the way these workers and their leaders respond with respect and resilience is truly admirable. They deserve recognition not just for serving delicious food, but for the grace they show in managing tough moments. Torchy’s is lucky to have such a dedicated, hardworking team!
Torchy’s Tacos has completely won us over! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The tacos are truly next level—don’t let the price per taco intimidate you. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but the quality, flavor, and creativity in every bite make them worth every penny. My wife and I ordered a variety (maybe too many), and each one was incredible. The drinks were equally fantastic. We both tried the Paloma, and I opted for the spicy version, which was outstanding! The spicy tequila is made in-house. highly recommend if you like a little heat in your drink. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting the manager, Diana. She came over to chat with us after noticing how many tacos we ordered (and devoured). She was so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the restaurant. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made the experience even more memorable. This place is an absolute gem! If you’re in Odessa, don’t miss it. We’re already looking forward to our next visit—Torchy’s is definitely on our list of must stops. Highly recommend!
Its Torchys people, its the best tacos around. Found Torchys in Houston last year and fell in love. So freaking good. This location didn't disappoint. We ordered Hillbilly Dip, Beef Fajita and The Republican tacos. On point! Don't forget to ask for the secret menu....only true Torchys fans can handle the secret menu.
I love the queso here! The hillbilly queso is the best, it has chorizo in it! We got a Democrat, Crossroads, Beef Fajita and Egg And Bacon Taco and they were all awesome! The frozen margaritas here are really tasty too, also they have some nice tap beers! It's in a nice little spot downtown, come give it a try, I always forget there's one here now!
I love Torchy's tacos, my favorite menu items are the trailer park and crossroads tacos. I have not tried most menu items but I'm sure they don't dissapoint. On a busy day here you are still able to go in and out fairly quickly. Great location as well and good bar mixed drinks as well as draft beer. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend
I have always been a fan of Torchy’s and their newest location in Odessa gives me easier access to deliciousness. You’ve got to start meal with some chips and queso. I highly recommend the Republic and the Trailer Park (trashy). Their breakfast options are good too. Keep an eye out for their Taco of the Month as well!!
TERRIBLE SERVICE! Dirty tables, rude staff, great food! Beef is salty but good. Sad because the food was great but the service was horrible and it wasn’t even busy. They secure their tip ahead of time so they don’t need to worry about giving good service. Every server looked miserable, lost our drink order, had to ask for it 3 times then it came out wrong anyways. “Manager” came out and literally could care less. Never again.
Great tacos but the service could use some work. If you’re going to charge me $20 for a drink and I’m trying to order it how I want it and get told shhhhh by an employee while ordering, that is absolutely absurd. Train your tenders to have some people skills, seriously. You want me to tip them to act like that? I will be using the machine to order and I’ll skip the drinks. Zero stars is a better rating for service.
I ordered in person and asked how long will the order take. I was told 10min. Employees seemed to all be moving in slow motion. It was taking longer than expected. I requested to get a refund. The lead came over and asked if this was DoorDash when I’m visibly in my Flight Attendant uniform with my company badge. I displayed my paid order on my phone. He pulled up the order and said he had to go to the back to get my receipt.He walked very slow to the back. This made no sense and it appeared he was adding to the wait time. I told the male employee, whom took my order, to tell the male lead to make sure order is cancelled and refund issued.
Rude service. Set at bar top, bartender in front of me, no greeting. I asked if she was the bartender, she replied yes, but had a lot to do. Place was filthy!! I counted 6 customers in the place. Walked out and came back to the hotel where service was excellent. First and last time I will go. Heard good things, wrong!
