Torchy's Tacos has captured the hearts of Boulder locals with its vibrant and diverse menu, making it a must-visit for taco enthusiasts and vegetarians alike. Located at 2805 Pearl St, this beloved Mexican restaurant stands out for its innovative offerings, including the Fried Avocado Taco and the flavorful Independent, featuring mushrooms and roasted corn. Whether you’re diving into the Taco of the Month or savoring the monthly rotational options, each bite bursts with flavor and creativity. Max Albert’s passionate recommendation reflects the excitement surrounding their signature items, like the Trailer Park and The Republican—a brisket taco that delivers tangy sweetness. Customers rave about the friendly service, highlighting staff like Emily, who not only offers culinary insights but also genuine warmth.

Reviews For Torchy's Tacos

If you have only driven past and wondered, or made assumptions, then you don’t understand. Trust me. You must understand. You can only understand if you take a chance, go down deep inside and find your inner gambler, find a place to park, go on in and order. Try The Taco of The Month, you will thank me. Get a Trailer Park (Chicken). Try it “Trashy”. The Republican will blow your mind with brisketey goodness in tangy sweet barbeque. It’s not just damn good, it’s Knock Down, Bash Mouth, roll your peepers back in your head Damn Good! If you don’t like tacos, Torchy’s also has burritos and bowls. With a full bar, it’s drinks all around, too. If you can’t trust me, trust your inner gambler. You’ll thank me.

Emily is so personable. She was so chill and also answered all of our questions about Boulder. She loves her community and knows her stuff!

Here probably once a week. Food is always hot, consistent and super yummy. Monthly rotational tacos are great!

Torchy’s Tacos is a fantastic spot for both taco lovers and vegetarians alike! Their menu offers a great variety of delicious options, including some excellent vegetarian choices. The Fried Avocado Taco is a standout, with crispy avocado, refried beans, and fresh toppings that make every bite flavorful. The Independent is another great pick, featuring mushrooms, roasted corn, and a touch of spice for a satisfying meal. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and always accommodating. The staff is happy to help with modifications and ensures a great dining experience. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite to go, Torchy’s never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Great vibe and atmosphere. This restaurant does get loud when it is full. When we walked in there was no line but we did wait quite awhile for our food. It was graduation weekend so it was very busy everywhere. The food was great! Everyone in our party loved their food. The tortillas were so soft and fluffy. Highly recommend!

Picked up some burritos and tacos to go at the Boulder location. Food was served up hot and fresh. The person taking the order was super chill and very helpful. Highly recommended as the family tore into it like a wild pack of hyenas.
