Torchy's Tacos

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.

My stomach is in shambles. And the food was so mid, on top of the cashier being rude. I don’t think he marked my stuff GF as an allergy. The Democrat taco was okay but the bacon,egg and cheese one was awful. I couldn’t eat it.

Love Torchy’s. Have eaten in Texas and now Raleigh. Very helpful in selecting tacos that are safe and most are as long as you get corn tortillas. The green chili Queso is great too!

Just tried this for the first time and LOVED it. They have a gluten conscious menu and the staff were very knowledgeable about how to avoid cross contamination. I got two tacos and chips and guac- they have separate fryer for chips, praise! I'll definitely be back.

Was recommended to us. GF options marked on menu. Server knew about gluten. Very good food and reasonable prices. I only had tacos but several varieties are listed as GF.

Delicious tacos! Eaten here several times with other celiacs and no one’s gotten sick. They have a separate “gluten conscious” menu.

We attended the soft opening (it officially opens in just a few days on May 15, 2024). They confirmed they have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the chips. We've had luck at other locations with their gluten sensitive menu (avoiding chips at locations that don't have a dedicated fryer) and this one was just the same. They did mention that the potatoes recently changed to hashbrown style and those are not fried in the dedicated fryer, so just be aware of that potential if they don't switch back to diced potatoes.

The app has a lot more diet and allergen information and clear options than ordering in person. Even if you're eating there, you could review it ahead or grab a table and order on your phone, especially if you're avoiding dairy and soy. Those are much harder to identify on the in-store menu.

I got the airstream salad and it was good. There is a risk of cross contamination since it’s a shared kitchen but I didn’t get sick.

Great tacos and guac.! Pork taco on corn tortillas. Delicious! I made a huge mistake and ate the chips without thinking, ( Fried in same oil). But they change out the oil nightly and since we went early for lunch I did not get sick. Yay!!!
