Closure Details
The two Columbus restaurants at:
- 3726 W. Dublin Granville Road (Northwest Side)
- 6042 N. Hamilton Road (Northeast Side)
will cease operations on February 3, 2026. This decision comes after the closure of its original Columbus location on Gemini Place in August 2025.

“The decision to close a restaurant is never easy, especially in a community that’s shown us so much love. We’re incredibly grateful to the team members who have dedicated their time and energy to these locations, as well as to the guests who supported us over the years.”
Future Prospects
Despite the closures in Columbus, Torchy’s Tacos maintains that they hope to return when the circumstances are favorable. The restaurant in Liberty Township, located near Cincinnati, will continue to operate.
