" Visiting Torchy’s was an absolute delight! The tacos were bursting with flavor and the unique toppings made them stand out. I especially loved the Brushfire and the Tipsy Chicken – they were a perfect mix of spicy and savory. The service was prompt, and our server was very attentive. The atmosphere had a fun vibe that made our meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting Waco, I had to try Torchy’s. The lively atmosphere and the creative taco options made it a fun dining choice. The tacos were good, though I wouldn’t classify them as authentic. They had a twist that was appealing nonetheless. The service was warm and inviting, just what you want on vacation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos were good but some of the flavors were a little confusing. I tried the Fish taco and it was okay, just didn’t quite work for me. Besides that, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was lively. Worth checking out if you're looking to try something unique. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had mixed experiences at Torchy’s. The first time I tried the Democrat taco, and it was amazing. The second visit wasn’t as great. The service was a bit slow, and my order was incorrect. However, the food quality is usually excellent. It’s a decent stop if you want something different, just check your order before leaving! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good time at Torchy's! I especially enjoyed the Tipsy Chicken taco; it was delicious. The portion sizes were decent, but the price is higher than I usually pay for tacos. The overall vibe was friendly and casual, just great for a food break with friends. I would consider coming back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I didn’t think the hype was real until I tried it! Torchy’s exceeded my expectations. The unique flavors and friendly service made my visit worthwhile. The only downside is the price point; it feels a bit high for casual tacos, but I suppose it reflects on the quality. I will be coming back with friends for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
