Food was great , flavorful and good portion size - family friendly environment and plenty of space . The lemon lime margarita special was 10/10 - bartender /server guy was super helpful with recommendations and he also made a good drink - we will be coming back

Torchy’s Tacos Waco: A Breakfast Burrito That Deserves the Hype Some mornings, you just need a burrito. Not the kind that leaves you questioning your life choices halfway through, but the kind that feels indulgent, balanced, and, most importantly, worth every bite. That’s exactly what I found at Torchy’s Tacos in Waco—a breakfast experience that turned a potentially overwhelming meal into an irresistible, can’t-put-it-down delight. First Impressions: A Hefty Contender When the Breakfast Burrito landed in front of me, my first thought was simple: this is a serious burrito. It had weight. It had presence. With cage-free eggs, refried pinto beans, crispy potatoes, chorizo, green chile queso, and mixed cheese, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla, it was a force to be reckoned with. My initial concern? That it might be too much. But, like a bag of Lay’s potato chips, after one bite, there was no stopping. The Flavor Breakdown Each component played its part. The eggs were fluffy, the beans impossibly creamy, and the potatoes added just enough crisp to contrast the richness of the chorizo and queso. This isn’t a burrito that blurs together into one monotonous flavor—it’s layered, and every ingredient is distinguishable in the best way. But the real magic happened when I reached for the salsas. The Salsa Effect Torchy’s doesn’t just throw in a side of salsa as an afterthought. The Roja Salsa and Tomatillo Salsa each brought their own personality to the dish. • Roja Salsa: Deep, smoky, and slightly spicy—it amped up the burrito’s bolder flavors. • Tomatillo Salsa: Bright, tangy, and a little citrusy—it cut through the richness, waking up the palate. Alternating between the two turned each bite into a new experience, enhancing different elements of the burrito and preventing any chance of flavor fatigue. The One Miss? Coffee, or Lack Thereof Now, let’s talk about breakfast etiquette. A burrito like this begs for coffee—a dark, robust roast to round out the experience. But Torchy’s didn’t have coffee available that morning. Instead, I had orange juice, which was fine, but it wasn’t the pairing I was craving. Did it ruin the meal? No. But coffee would have completed it. And considering they’ve served it before, I hope they bring it back. Final Verdict: Five-Star Worthy? Even without the coffee, the burrito itself earned its five stars. It was bold, satisfying, and surprisingly addictive. If you’re in Waco and looking for a breakfast that actually delivers, this one won’t disappoint. Just maybe grab a coffee from somewhere else on your way in.

Torchys Tacos did not disappoint!! I tasted the Brushfire and the Tipsy chicken tacos. Both were packed with flavor and a kickstart heat. It was so delicious. I topped them off with two sauces which included the Diablo and the Bacon Bourbon marmalade. The bacon marmalade had me shaking my head because I wanted to lick the cup. Overall, the experience was very relaxed and I definitely enjoyed the meal. I will most certainly return to eat some Damn Good tacos as their sign proudly displays.

We were planning a one day visit to Waco to have breakfast and then visit the Waco Mammoth NM, but it turned out that the restaurant we were planning to visit requires booking few weeks in advance... so we changed our plan and visited first the Waco Mammoth NM and then had lunch. The thing is that by the time (3 PM) we were ready for the lunch, it was too late for lunch or too early for dinner for most of the restaurants in Waco, therefore they were closed. Thanks God we found Torchy's Tacos. I had a Breakfast burrito and my wife a couple of tacos (one Democrat and one steak fajita... the former is like mexican "barbacoa"). My burrito tasted amazing, it was an extraordinary combinations of flavors and textures. They should include coffee on their beverages options.

Great food! The tacos are loaded up with delicious meats and toppings… I had the Republican, the Democrat, and the Trailer park. First two were exceptional, Torchy’s may singlehandedly solve America’s divided political climate with 2 tacos. 5 stars!

I was told that I needed to hit up a Torchy's and so here we are. Yes, it's a chain. Get over it. Inside had a few tables that needed cleaning. I got the Green Chile Queso & Chips, hoping it could be a starter. It arrived at the same time as my tacos. So take that into account. Green Chile Pork taco. Delicious, nicely loaded, full of flavor, still needed some hot sauce for kick. Fried Avocado taco. Very interesting, delicious, would definitely have this one again. Damn good tacos. 4.5 stars, rounding up.

Amazing food and super well respectful staff members. Especially Mrs. GAILEY, she always goes above and beyond for her customers. She is a shining diamond 💎 that is worth a billion stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️. I have the democrat and the bomb queso n chips.

Excellent flavor and taste. The lady working the register made two perfect recommendations with the brisket and pulled pork (very spicy 🌶), so give her a raise! The food took a little longer than we hoped but it was a busy Friday night and it beat any fast food we would have had to choose!! Great stuff

Visit at 9:10pm We ordered at the kiosk and grabbed our drinks, but the unsweet tea was draining into the fountain pan. When I asked about fresh tea, the employee said they were discarding it. I pointed out that the restaurant wouldn’t close for nearly two more hours and that I’d like the option of refills. She simply nodded, pushed the unsweet container back beside the sweet tea, and walked away. The food didn’t fare much better. Tacos arrived lukewarm, and even the “fresh” replacements weren’t much hotter. The queso got cold fast and became unappetizing. I usually enjoy Torchy’s, but this visit was disappointing. Service felt indifferent, and the food quality was underwhelming compared to past experiences.

Every time I have been here, no matter the time of day, staff is unpleasant. Annoyed that I would come to the business to get food, ya know, the sole purpose of the place. Don’t come in if it’s an hour or 2 before close bc you will 100000% get the feeling you are not welcome and to get your food togo and get out. My order is usually wrong (missing upgrades, or sauces) or not fully warm. Order at the kiosk and save yourself the pain of trying to talk to a human and order. I don’t think one order has been satisfactory. At the cost they charge now for a tiny taco....do better. Also everything just needs a deep clean. It all feels and looks sticky. Far cry from the OG staple in Austin.

Waited forever for food then they forgot the queso. They brought it out and it was wrong. Finally brought it correctly. They look very short on staff. Everyone tried.

30 dollars for 4 tacos that when I get home tacos looked like straight dog food I was very disappointed in this because me and my fiancé thought they would be good considering how expensive and packed they are but I wasn’t able to even feed my child last night because everything I order for her looked like dog food. SMH they need to lower prices on this place or at least give better food service! I would have rather eaten Taco Bell if I would’ve known.
