TORQUE GRILL & CANTINA — Restaurant in Burleson

This is the second time I've been to Torque. The restaurant is family owned and I love that. I enjoy supporting local family businesses. Food: The head chef is a Culinary Institute of America graduate and it shows. Food is the passion and the food is amazing. I have already tried several of their dishes, but tonight we had the Rice Burner "tacos" and the Lift Kit nachos (both pictured). The Rice Burner was delicious with an amazing teriyaki sauce and the wonton shell was near perfect. The side of Elote was flavorful and really could be a meal on it's own. The Nachos was large in size and can feed two people with a great balance of chip to toppings, all of which were delicious. If you like chips and salsa (which I do), the regular salsa is superbly flavored and if you like a real kick, try the Habanero sauce (liquid fire but with flavor!). Drinks are good and the margaritas are made with fresh squeezed lime. We tried the Mango, Paloma (super yummy), and the Antifreeze (house margarita), all are pictured. Their steaks (not pictured) are perfect mediums and the Carnitas (not pictured) both of which melt in your mouth. I will be back more often to work through the menu because the workers are nice and friendly, the business is local, and the food...

First time visit with a party of 8. We had an issue with service getting to us due to what seems like a communication error after we were moved tables. After that the server was very concerned with getting our issue resolved, she was doing her very best and we really appreciated that. Ordered the birria tacos but they weren't available due to the recipe not being complete. Ordered tacos Al Pastor instead. Here's where I had a bit of an issue... The "al pastor" was more like carnitas, when I asked, I was told that the al pastor is the carnitas meat made in a different broth/seasoning, but if I were to give that taco to my grandmother, she would say it's straight up carnitas. Carnitas is pork shoulder fried in it's own fat (slower cooking, like a roast) Al pastor is liberally marinated pork seared on an open flame. While the tacos themselves were perfect street tacos and very good, they definitely were not al pastor. I was left confused but very satisfied. As an automotive tech myself, I really liked the names of the menu items. Maybe give the vegan options names associated with electric vehicles 😉. Overall, it was great and I've recommended the place to friends. Definitely going back myself. I can only see this place improving on what they...

I thought I would get a friendly hello when I walked into Torque Grill and Cantina at 4:55 pm today. Nothing! Waited! Nothing! Finally, a girl rode upon a broom. I should say, show up carrying a broom. But with the attitude she had, she should have been riding it!

She said I needed to go out the backdoor. She pointed out the back door. I followed her pointed finger. I ended up outside, but there was a sidewalk to follow to the next building. Once inside the next building, I waited and waited. The building was empty, but someone showed up and pointed to a table after a while.

There was no menu available. Waited. When the waiter did show up, he said to look on my phone. Looking over the phone menu and deciding what to eat took a few minutes, everything looked good. I decided I ordered the Impossible burger with cheese and a side of fries.

While I waited for my food, they served me chips and hot sauce. They were good.

The food took about 15 minutes to arrive at my table. There was no cheese, one small slice of tomato, three small pieces of pickles, no mayo, and a burn bun. See pictures!

The fries were good!

Recommendation: Save your money and go to...
