Torchy's Tacos

I personally didn’t think the tacos were good. The fajita chicken was the worst one I got. I was even more disappointed when I got sick an hour later. I definitely don’t recommend.

I didn’t get sick and they were very professional. I’ve heard other bad reviews, but for me it was exactly what I needed. When I called up to make sure it wasn’t a hassle, they got as dedicated worker to move to a different area with all new ingredients. If you give them a heads up, they will look out for you.

I have eaten at other torchys locations in Texas all the time and always done great, but I got so sick here. The food also wasn’t very good. None of us were very impressed with this location and were really bummed.

Went because I saw the GF “sensitive” menu and the other reviews but unfortunately my Nima gluten sensor detected gluten in my crossroads taco : ( this was at the one on Penn

Celiac friendly?

No

GF menu is nice. I have eaten here a few times and have not gotten ill. They marked everything down gf when they took my order and it was clear on the receipt.

Gluten free menu is large and tasty. Had a Democrat taco and guacamole and chips, plus a frozen margarita. No dedicated kitchen space but worked for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Summary - Yummy but had issues ordering from the gluten conscious menu and chips are in shared fryer.

Story - When I asked the server about gluten they immediately brought over the manager. Manager was great! They brought me the “gluten conscious” menu, explained that the chips are fried separately but the oil from both fryers are combined (so not GF but listed on the menu). I ordered the baja shrimp taco and the brisket taco on corn tortillas, mentioning the gluten allergy/menu to the server.

When the food came out, the shrimp was breaded and fried (so not GF), so we sent back with the server to redo. Then we realized that my partner’s burrito had vegan meat instead of the beef he ordered (burritos are not GF). He mentioned to manager who happened to walk by. Manager went back to kitchen and didn’t come back out until our food was out and correct. Everything was really good, including the mexican rice and street corn sides.

We tried to pay but the manager comped our meal. Very nice!

There is a bar and specialty cocktails but we didn’t try any.

I told the server I had celiac disease, explicitly asked her to indicate that I was GF on my ticket, and she did not. She also told me the chips are cooked in the same fryer as everything else, so I did not have any. Anyway, I ordered the airstream salad with the grilled chicken and have been sick all day :(

The person behind the counter seemed a bit unsure in dealing with gluten free requests, but then she also couldn't tell me what white wine they had, so she must have been new. Be sure to look at the "gluten conscious" menu to know your options before you order. That said, the chips are made in a dedicated fryer, and the queso and GF tacos we picked were great.
