“Wowser, this place is astronomical. To start things off I had been dying for hunger so I decided to pull in, when I got to the speaker a nice old lady greeted me with a hello!! So nice, then after I ordered my usual order, a mexi dip and chips with NO GUACAMOLE EXTRA QUESO, and one burrito I rolled on up to the window and gave the nice old lady my money, then mindboggling she handed me my food and said "have a great day!", SUCH FAST SERVICE!! And my whole order was right and it was delicious . Would % recommend it was an amazing lunch and I will be going back up there. To the loo.“

Thanks again and will be back soon!“

“Female Bartender helped me get a high chair and took great care of us. She could tell I needed some responsible yet relaxing mommy time. Food was fast and delicious. Clean atmosphere. 10 outta 10. There are other torchy locations but this one IS the best.Kid-friendliness: Tables were clean, high chair was clean, demographic was adults but my baby still fit in.“

“Speedy service, they get you in and out, although we stayed for a while, catching up with friends ?.The chips are a little crunchy ? and good salsa. You can purchase several other salsas for your table.I enjoyed the made in house tamales and my chicken enchiladas. I wasn't a big fan of ground beef taco (flavor needed).We did like the white queso.You get generous portions and worth a visit.Parking: Small parking lot attached with valet during certain times...I had to park down the street and walk 2 blocks.“

“The food is superb. Everything I have had has been amazing with taste. The only downfall is the entire inside of the restaurant, the lights are too dim to see - makes it difficult at lunch to take friends or co-workers unless you all enjoy eating outside and I don't.Parking: The free parking is located in the back on Boll Street about 30 spacesKid-friendliness: Not kid friendly restaurant“

“This place is where you need to be when it comes to great food and customer service. Jermaine our waiter was amazing. He suggested great food and we ordered it. It was everything he said it would be. Edgar the manager was truly the best. He came to make sure we enjoyed our food and made us feel at home. The Margaritas Edgar suggested were delicious and worth every penny. Thank you Edgar I’ll be back!!! To top it off the Tres leches cake was soooo good ?!!! 10/10“

“Came from out of state to hunt this place down near my hotel and was not disappointed. Torchy's always delivers the goods and I had a good experience as usual. Food came out quick and hot, service was tremendous, and Joe did an amazing job keeping everyone happy. Even got my basketball game onto the TV for me as I watched and ate my grub. Definitely recommend. Awesome experience.“

“I tried a Mi Cocina about a month ago in a different area of the metroplex, and got the Milo, which is 2 enchiladas and a taco. The enchiladas were good, but then I tried the taco, and it was "The best taco I have ever had"!So I had lunch today at this Mi Cocina and all I could think about was that taco from a month ago. I had to find out if it was a fluke or not. So I asked the guy if I could just have 3 beef tacos. "Of course" he said.Now keep in mind that these are not any kind of "special" tacos, like brisket, fish or 'street tacos', just your basic Americano beef tacos.But again! These were the best tacos I have ever had! Packed with beef and every ingredient was of the best quality. And the queso is pretty darn good to.My only concern with my visit... Premium tacos evidently come with a premium price. But you get what you pay for!“

“Edgar really went above and beyond with our visit here. He was kind and attentive and did such a wonderful job helping us pick menu items and find something we would all like. Huge thanks to him and definitely asking for him when I come back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“

“We found this place off of an IG page. My son, my bestie and myself went here after to church on 4/7/2024. The service was amazing and our waitress was a hoot ?!!! Heather I think was her name. She was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definitely be back. Food was ? and the portion sizes ???!!!“

“Super fast service, I put my order in online and got the notification it was ready less than 5 minutes later. Tacos are really good and it's amazing to have a vegetarian option for traditional tacos because I normally have to just get beans and rice at taco places!“

“I have absolutely no hesitation on giving this place five stars. The food is great and the drinks are strong and will floor you quickly. I will be back soon! ???Vegetarian options: It's Mexican food. There are always vegetarian options.Parking: Moderate amount of spaceKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and the music played in the restaurant is appropriate for childrenWheelchair accessibility: Everything is on flat ground“

“The food is excellent, served sizzling hot. Our server was Antonio, who was fantastic and personable. We also love the layout of this location, with the lounge area separate from the dining areas, making conversation at the table so much easier than dealing with the noise around a bar. A very pleasant experience overall.“

“Hello. If you know anything you know that the men at Mi Co HPV's Monkey Bar rule the roost in most sweet way. I do not know other people who serve so well without ceasing, make the most amazing drinks, and do all with a smile. I am so very thankful for my David, Chris, and “

“White visiting in town, we were told to check out Torchy's, and it did not disappoint! We tried the burritos, tacos, and queso. Everything was delicious and service was quick and friendly. We would 100% come back again on a future visit.“

“Move here to the colony about 10 years ago , till this day still one of my go to places for GOOD FOOD HANDS DOWN. Good breakfast tacos ( Hefty portion) good street tacos . Try the nachos frenado style ??. Tortas also good and same with the "mexican burger "“

“First time to order from here, and we had lunch and had it delivered. We ordered for 8 people. Most either got some combo of fajitas or a taco salad. A couple of people wanted to order tacos but the site would not let them. It would ask them to pick beef or chicken but there was no option to even pick. The food from ordering to delivery was 45 minutes. Everyone got what they ordered except one person was missing their side of avocado. Also the fajita orders with beans, they arrived all over the inside. Other than that food arrived warm, and everything was very good, everyone liked it. Only giving 4 stars since we were missing some of our order, the messy beans could have been the delivery not them when they first packed it. We will order again from here.“

“Read a lot of great reviews on this place and decided to try it out. I went on a Thursday afternoon around 4pm. (During happy hour) Nice crowd there but I didn't have to wait to be seated. Host was extremely nice. I sat on the covered patio area and really enjoyed it. Waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the veggie fajitas and a cup of queso. Everything was really delicious and flavorful. Salsa and chips were really good. Will definitely be back.“

“We ate lunch at this location yesterday. This location has a great covered outdoor dining area with ceiling fans to keep you cool and plenty of shade. The patio is built overlooking a small pond with fountain and adds to the ambiance. I ordered the Tacos de Pescado (Grouper) and they were absolutely amazing! The unsweet iced tea was some of the best I have had. The queso (yellow) was good too. My husband ordered the steak fajitas and enjoyed them. Our waiter was attentive and wonderful. He even got me an iced tea to go. Definitely my favorite Mi Cocina to dine at because of the great service and patio.“

“We came during Friday Happy Hour for dinner: super attentive service, Majid is friendly & silly. He will crack you up and take care of you real good!Hubz had some decent margs on the rocks, I had topo Chico for drinks. Queso, chips and salsa are perfect! All 3 are the authentic recipes I like.For dinner hubz had the Juan's plate, I had shrimp chile relleno. It's kinda rare to find a place that offers so many dishes with shrimp, mushrooms and or spinach so this impresses me.If you come to party ask for Majid! Haha“

“Got 2 burritos to go, the chorizo y papas and the crazy king. Order came out super fast, everyone was extremely friendly. The place is also very cute and cozy on the inside. We were shocked with the size of the burritos, they are loaded up and soooo delicious. 12/10 - definitely our new go to spot for delicious fresh food. Highly recommend ??“

“This place makes me feel like family when I go there, I’ve had the beef tacos and birria tacos here and they were 10/10, nice atmosphere when they turn their fun lights on, pop the dj n kareoke on Thursday n Friday, I have been there both days and had so much fun! Check it out!“

“If you're tired of being DISAPPOINTED by your dining out experiences, DO EAT HERE. Everything was fantastic. The food was fresh and tased great! The server was laid back and not pushy, asked question. Management was very present and clearly doing their part in the team taking checks, talking to guests, it was fantastic. I had sweet tea and honestly that was my favorite part. It probably send silly but the beverage really makes the medal for me and I like tea to taste like tea not watery or weak, and also not bitter. It was perfect. Everyone in our party couldn't say enough good things about the place.“

“Today was one my better days at Ojedas I tried something different A lot cart It was the Chicken Taquitos Was very surprisingly Great will get that again They keep getting better with their food Highly recommend to go and try u will be back“

“The young man and young lady working the bar today ( 3-29-24. 1:30 pm) made all the difference in the world. Service was excellent and the food came out hot! The employees can make or break a restaurant. These two added great value and made my lunch even more enjoyable“

“My husband and I came to eat at mi Cocina and Ricky, our waiter was amazing! He was very attentive and very fast! He recommended the beef fajitas which were delicious! We will definitely be back and Ricky will be our go to guy from now on!Parking: Parking is fast and easyKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly half the people on the patio had kids“

“No wonder this place has been open since 1994. The atmosphere was great. The service was wonderful. I had Bryan's Burrito and that thing was a beast. It was a giant delicious burrito stuffed with rice, beans, and steak covered with this spicy tomato sauce. It was delicious! Definitely coming back to try the Margaritas!“

“This Tommy Tamale was my first experience, and I enjoyed my visit. I ordered a 2 plate x 1 (rice & beans, beef, chicken), a apple cinnamon tamale, a Bavarian cream churro, and a a fountain drink. The entrée and sides were available almost instantly after placing my order. I liked the beef tamale more than the chicken tamale, yet both were good. The refried beans and rice were fine. The sweet tea was excellent and clearly made fresh.When I placed my order, the cashier asked me if I wanted my dessert order held until I was almost finished with the other food, and I agreed. The cashier brought my desserts with excellent timing after I had eaten for a while. The apple cinnamon tamale was good, and the churro was delicious. I intend to return to this Tommy Tamale sometime.“

“Fast service, good food and very affordable. For what is essentially a fast food place, this is a great option. If you like tacos (and if not, you're in the wrong state) this is a nice, clean, reasonable place to eat. We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: The great thing about Mexican food is you can leave meat out of any dish - and it is vegetarian.“

“When we dined at the bar today, Megan was so attentive, some of the best customer service we’ve had in a long time. I made sure to recognize her and put it on the receipt. She was just a joy, and made sure all our needs were taken care of.Vegetarian options: Was nice to see the options listed clearly on the menu.“

“Incredible from start to finish! Torchy’s is our favorite (the Brushfire is EVerything!), but when you throw in amazing service and joyful personalities who are helping you, it means everything! Jay and Tyson were incredibly kind…the smiles on their faces made our night! Best service EVER!!“

“Preston Hollow has another Tex Mex winner.Menu , atmosphere, and service provide excellent dining.Lunch today was cheese enchilada with Queso, crispy beef taco, rice and beans.Chips and hot sauce were fresh.Tomatillo sauce on the side provided a tangy addition.Worth a visit!“

“Food is fantastic and the franchise seems to have a great standard across many (if not all) locations. Ocassipnally I'll see a bare bones crew or a very busy restaurant, but the food is well worth the wait. Barbacoa tacos and lengua tacos from here reign supreme in my book.“

“This place was soo good! It has a more ritzy side so definitely come dressed in your Sunday best I would say. The staff were amazing and so sweet.The parking was extremely annoying when we left but I came right when they opened so I was grateful for a up close spot.“

“As I walk in I’m kindly greeted by the manager and the hostess. I was sat in Carla’s section. My husband and I asked for water with lime & no ice.. we get our waters got no lime, which is fine we had to ask again.Our food comes out and everything smells and looks good. I got Ernie’s chicken which is one of my favorite dishes at this establishment. The pico and guac was fresh, the rice was hot and tasty & the chicken was tasty & marinated.. my only complaint was the poblano sauce was chunky, it had clumps of stringy cheese (which I’ve never seen before on this meal).Carla comes by after I was done eating half of my meal and after my partner finished their meal. I asked for the check and to go boxes. So she stepped away to tend to other customers and as she’s handling the big platter of different dishes a plate falls to the floor. Glass flew up and struck the side of my face.Carla did ask if I was fine but it showed I was very frustrated. She stepped away again and then came back and said “I’ll tell the manager so he can do something about your food & so you’re not bothered”….The only thing I was bothered by was the tone in her response while she rolled her eyes, which was very unnecessary and unprofessional.The manager came over apologized and comped our meal. They also gave me a new Ernie’s Chicken meal bc I had a lot of food left over and I was planning on taking home but due to glass flying everywhere, it obviously wasn’t safe to consume anymore.“

“I’ve been coming to this place for 20 years. The John Wayne plate has cured hangovers that would kill a mule and the coffee is dark as midnight plus it keeps coming until you’re jittering so hard you can’t hold the mug!Seriously though, the nicest folks serving fresh made food in a laid back atmosphere. If you want to eat like an East Dallas local, this is the spot!“

“Fantastic restaurant!!! Tacos, chimmichuri steak, and fajitas were fantastic. Sopapillas were heavenly. Server (Christian) was perfection! Perfectly attentive and helpful. Owner came by and was incredible and passionate about the restaurant. We will definitely be back and taking more people next time!“

“Excellent food. Our server was very nice but I saw her visiting with other servers rather than check on how we were doing. And for some reason, our drinks took a LONG time to get. We probably should have ordered our second round when we ordered our first“

“Cool little spot and the staff were all so nice!! Will definitely be making the hour drive back to this spot soon! Try the El Padrino and Rock Ross they are amazing!!!Dietary restrictions: The bean have lard in them, but staff was very helpful with dietary restrictions!“

“Today was my second visit to Casa Rosa and it was just as spectacular as the first. Eloy was our server- he is a subject matter expert, attentive, and polite. The food was incredible. I ordered the combo plate with the beef chimichanga and chicken enchilada, as well as the flautitas for an appetizer. In the past I tried their beef fajitas, which were also exceptional. Parking isn’t an issue, as the Bank of America next door is available as an extra lot after 6pm. Thank you for the great dining experience!“

“We have dined this location several times & have always been very pleased. This last visit was a luncheon for our Sunday School Class, 12 guests, and our waiter & the kitchen handled it with ease. Bailey, the valet service lady, is always cordial & efficient as well.“

“Great service, I did not like my food upon first looking at it and the wanted something different and was happy to do it for me. The food was good, I got the chicken quesadilla with rice and refried beans. The environment inside was very homey and welcoming.“

“We went in with a table of 7. The table had the Rico Salad with beef, Chicken Quesadillas, Mi Cocina Changa, Beef Fajitas, Chicken Fajitas and Mini Tacos. The plates came to the table and it was obvious all of the food was fresh! The plates were beautiful and delicious!!! We will be back when in town again. Our service was also great. Being from New Orleans we are sometimes disappointed when eating out of town. This was definitely an exception!“

“Overall, the fish tacos were great for their price. The fish didn't stand out and I wish they had more seasoning, but combined with the other ingredients, had good overall flavor. The beans and rice were good, and surprisingly the pico salad had a lot of good flavor as well. Needless to say, I will be back again to explore more of the menu!“

“Stopped in for lunch while running errands. Fast and attentive service. Food was yummy, salsa is garlicky and delicious. Also had a margarita, it was a little on the sweet side for me but not bad. Nice atmosphere to dine in very chill. Will be back!“
