Torchy's Tacos

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious and separate GF menu, but I did have a reaction. Not a big one, but there may have been some cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We ate two tacos. One with pork and one with brisket. I tried the tortilla and the meat in Nima. approved! Yummy, fast and cheap.

Eat here frequently and have never been sick. Amazing tacos and the best queso I have ever had!

Celiac friendly?

No

The food is great but the I got very very sick the last time I ate here. I would not recommend this place to someone with celiac

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good for celiac, but no dedicated fryer (stay away from chips and fried anything). UPDATE: now has dedicated chip fryer at this location, OK for celiac for chips only. Other food fryer is still cross contaminated. Wife has celiac disease, and has no problem eating here. Great food.

Several gluten free options available and they have a gluten free menu upon request. Best tacos around!

Several gluten free options and the tacos are incredible. There is a chance for cross-contamination, however.

this is an Austin original AND quality food!

Separate GF menu. Ordered it for pickup and they did mess up our order a little. Breakfast tacos were good. Would recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a big GF menu and are really helpful. Can’t go wrong with tacos!

It's been almost a year and a half since my last attempt at eating at this location. The ordering process seemed to work better and felt fine afterwards. I'll add a star each visit as long as there are no issues.

I've had horrible experiences with the location near me in Houston. So. Very. Bad. But I just had a great experience here in Waco. Considering the effort they put into the menu and checkout process I was satisfied and look forward to more visits in the 4 years to come if my child ends up attending Baylor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu available. Staff able to mark as gluten allergy — At this location, it includes changing gloves and heating corn tortillas in foil or separate area. The chips are NOT GF as they are in a shared fryer, even though queso is listed in Gf menu. Love the independent taco.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here several times. They have always been knowledgeable on gf menu. My favorite is the crossroads taco and chips w/ queso.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered grilled shrimp tacos. Super sick after.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve tried eating here a few times, and every time I get sick. I’m Celiac, I order off of the gluten friendly menu, and talk to them about allergies. I suspect they don’t understand how to be safe in their kitchen.

As long as I order off the “gluten conscious menu” (uploaded below) then I have not had any issues so far. Just ask for the menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff member was really helpful. He warned their chips are made in shared fryer. Tacos with corn tortillas are great. Avoid the chips even though they are listed on the “gluten friendly” menu because of the shared fryer.

Celiac friendly?

No

As the chain does have gluten conscious menu, this location completely ignores it. When I placed my order, the cashier treated me as though I was a complete inconvenience. She then messed up my order on purpose and when I asked for it to be remade, she gave total sass. IF YOU FEEL LIKE TORCHY’S GO TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

They have a "gluten conscious" menu. Be very careful about ordering from it, because some items are grilled on the GF menu are breaded on the regular menu, so if you don't specify, you will get breaded. For example, the shrimp in the Baja Shrimp taco, or the mushrooms in the Independent taco. And always ask for corn tortillas. Aside from that, the tacos are great, as are the queso, guacamole, and the street corn.

I love their breakfast tacos on corn tortillas. I normally do the pick 3 breakfast item taco which I do chorizo, potato and beans. I will caution that the chorizo is a little on the spicy side but taste so good. I’ve also had their barbacoa tacos with their roja salsa . Overall, great food and service.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not helpful when I asked about gluten free options. The “gluten friendly” menu was most of the same items on the main menu. I have Celiac, so I can’t just have it be “gluten friendly” and be safe. They didn’t have any details about the marinades or what I should really avoid. So I ended up ordering the salad. For $10 I could’ve bought 3 salad mixes at the grocery store and had 4 meals out of it. I got a few items for my husband and he didn’t find it all that good either. Your food is overpriced for what it is.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THE BEST TACOS. They had gluten sensitive menu options (grilled instead of fried) so I was able to try a lot of their tacos. Eaten multiple times and haven’t gotten sick. They do fry their chips in the same fryer FYI!

Didn't feel good after some of the orders, felt fine other times.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have had the chips and queso several times, along with the Democrat taco with zero issues. A couple of years ago, I think I may have been glutened, but not any of the recent 5 times I’ve been there!

Celiac friendly?

No

Hit or miss. Not knowledgeable staff. Cross contamination happens.

They have a GF menu. The green chili taco was awesome!

Overpriced, and sued a much better taco joint in town for their name. Would rather eat at DGT who are Celiac friendly and have awesome large portions for realistic amounts of money! Personally haven’t gotten sick here but they never heat up the corn tortillas properly so.....

Celiac friendly?

No

The gf menu is basically if you’re eating gf as a fad and not for intolerance and certainly not Celiac. For it to be gf, most of the sauces and some elements have to be altered but those changes aren’t visible when you get it, and the staff is so rushed they often make mistakes. You can probably safely eat the chips and quest but nothing else.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do have a gluten free menu, and if you do get what you ordered, the food is delicious. But despite ordering a gluten-free taco, they delivered it in a flour tortilla. Then they didn’t bring my whole meal that I ordered. Frustrating.

Delicious tacos and sauces! Double layered the corn tortillas so the tacos don’t fall apart. Very flavorful tacos and beans!

Delicious food and lots of GF options. Staff is well-versed and can help you make safe choices, modifications where needed. Note about chips at this location: we were recently told that this Torchy’s does not always use a dedicated fryer for their chips!! Typically only on weekends when they are busy enough to use the extra one. We ask every time we go if the chips are fried separately.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had an entire gluten free menu, HOWEVER it’s not truly all gluten free. They use a shared fryer and don’t clarify that on the menu so be careful

This place is kind of hit or miss with being Celiac friendly. I definitely got a taco on a flour tortilla after talking with the girl who took my order about Celiac and gluten. The food is very good and cheap and filling, but it’s risky.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Large gluten free menu. Staff seemed knowledgeable about my requirements. Chips have a dedicated fryer. All sauces are GF. Lots to choose from. Ate there last night. So far no effects.

Celiac friendly?

No

Sick for 2 days - wouldn’t try again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF queso and chips are the bomb - they have GF tacos too - but I recommend trying to go off hours - I worry about CC when they are super swamped!

Do not go here for gluten free. Chips not guaranteed to be fried separate, tacos served with fried shrimp and fried mushrooms even when ordered carefully. They remade my dinner but I still got sick.

Great Gluten free menu. Lots of menu choices

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have a gluten free menu and really good about knowing what ingredients need to be changed for safety. Have an allergy key when ordering to alert the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great tacos and queso. Eat here all the time with no issues!

Celiac friendly?

No

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

The staff was very nice and their gf menu had a lot of options!

Democrat tacos are delicious. I’ve never had an issue here or at any Torchy’s. Chips are safe and addictive.

I wanted to give this restaurant 2 ratings. A one for their gf options but a 5 for quality and service. Their gluten conscious menu is NOT safe They cook chips and tortilla on the same grill as flour. If you ask they will wrap it in foil on the grill with care Also the chicken and beef have gluten Good food but not super safe of gf friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

always tell them severe gluten allergy and haven't had an issue. eaten here many times. celiac safe

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten sensitive menu. Delicious creative tacos. No reactions after eating there several times. Just wish they had homemade tortillas, other than that they were amazing.

Gigantic tacos. In spite of disclaimer, went out of their way to be kind. Delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is a gluten free menu. I’ve tried several items and they’re all good. The staff are always helpful.

Never disappointed with Torchys!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a whole separate gluten free menu and they tell the staff when you have an allergy. The tacos are still delicious gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

No

I've given this place multiple tries. They don't follow their own protocols for gluten free. I ordered gluten free egg and cheese breakfast tacos. The cashier has a button on the screen to show that the order is gluten free. Once again the button was not used. I've gotten sick in the past. I'll not risk it anymore.

Staff was aware and friendly. Food was excellent! Not sure on celiac friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Soooo good. And Gluten friendly with a variety of options.

The tacos and the guacamole are great. Not so impressed with the staff.

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.

Unique taco combinations. They do have a gluten free menu, at the register.
