    Once you get over the local element surrounding the area and visit this location it's great. We went through the drive through and we're quickly greeted in Spanish this gave a nice authentic feel. I asked if we could have a moment, which she was agreeable to. We finally determine what we would try. La Patrona, órale and tóxica. Once we got these home we realized these were some massive sandwiches. I was a little disappointed that it was a traditional torta like I have had in Mexico. It's was a great sandwich. Meaty with a great flavor. The meats were all juicy perfectly stacked to get all the tastes in each bite.

    Pineapple (L) and horchata (R) agua frescas. Extra flavorful.

    Bottom Line: Very flavorful sandwiches & agua frescas. Super clean premises. Friendly & helpful counter lady. Strong accent can be hard to understand. A bit high on price for agua frescas. Online menu is brief & easy to understand. Top Line: Being a new business, Don Tortas interior was immaculate & shiny. Counter lady was friendly, outgoing, and helpful toward us making our choices for monthly outing. But her accent was pronounced enough that I struggled to understand what she said. My choice was La Patrona $12 torta with $5 horchata agua fresca. My dining partner went with the La Toxica torta, a side of fries, and pineapple agua fresca. Partner praised the pineapple drink for its flavor. I noted that the horchata possessed a notably heavier body than most I've had, which tend to be quite thin & watery even when they have good flavor. Don Tortas' horchata also was a bit more complex in flavor than most. Not just rice water, sugar, & cinnamon, which is pretty much the most basic & stripped down version. DT's horchata had nutmeg & some other flavor players joining the party, making it a distinctive drink. Sandwiches were large. Generosity on the portion front! The butter grilled toasted rolls were well loaded with meat, vegetation, cheese, dressing. The specific ingredients made for a rich & varied taste. Different textures kept the palate from being bored. Special note of the bread being sufficiently durable to not soggy up or crumble under the load they bore. The jalapeno peppers & chipotle arrived on the side. Chipotle was strong with the smoky flavor and, while it had a nice sting to it, was not as searingly hot as I anticipated. So I put it *all* on my torta & it wasn't too spicy. The pickled jalapeno was a bit hotter. But the hottest of all was the carrot slices that were pickled in with the jalapenos. So I easily recommend Don Tortas on the south side of Central Ave a block east of San Mateo as a good spot to hit up for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner sandwich & really fine agua frescas.

    Great fresh made sandwiches. The Burqueno and the Toxico both yummy!

    Wow! Very clean and inviting environment when you enter the establishment. Very modern looking decor and the use of today's technology for menu's. The food was freshly made with a good variety of sandwich options. Okay so about the food. The torta bread was light, soft baked and was grilled buttery and crisp on the underside, yum! The flavors are bold and spicy depending on what get, I suggest the Burqueno if you can handle it! this place is definitely worth a try, I will be back but it's something I personally need to be in the mood for. Hope you all enjoy!

    One word, wow! Thank you Yelp, another great find. I saw their page on Yelp and I knew I needed a torta right away. I rolled in and couldn't make up my mind. The lady working the counter was so nice and helped me make a decision. I ordered the La Toxica, grilled steak and a smoked pork chop. I also ordered fries and a large horchata. Man the food was good. My only gripe is that I got takeout so the bread was a little soggy by the time I got home. If your feeling like a hot sandwich, definitely check this place out. Don Torta is officially on my list of sandwich stops.

    This place was a surprise. The food is very high quality. The Agua Frescas are the best I've had in Albuquerque ever. Seriously you can come here just to buy drinks. I had the burqueña. My only critique is the chorizo was a little on the salty side. But it did not ruin anything. This place is a top notch choice any day of the week.

    The inside is clean and menu is easy to read but so hard to decide what to get! Everything sounded so good. We got the Chale and the Burquena with green Chile. We were really happy with both options. Definitely best enjoyed fresh since the ingredients + bread could be soggy if you order delivery or takeout. The horchata was delicious and not watered down at all. We will definitely be back to try the breakfast options! Be patient, since they just opened but it's worth the wait!

    Don Tortas is a new business in town offering traditional Mexican tortas (sandwiches). They have breakfast tortas and also lunch/dinner type tortas; however, you can order them all at any time of the day. Their menu ranges from all type of meat: chicken, pork, beef, sausages and chorizo. I recommend getting the potato chips as a side for your torta, but you also have fries as an option. There's a great variety of aguas frescas that would perfectly go along with whatever torta you order. They had a great opening event and I'm confident they will succeed as they have traditional food and amazing staff.

    Great new spot on the west side of town! Tortas tasted delicious recommend if your craving a delicious torta!

    From out of town and am a huge fan of tortas! Dropped in around 11AM and was the only one there but my food was fantastic! Very pleased with the flavor and quantity of food.

    #13 La Rancherita
    Molly M.

    Best torta of my life! Recommend the #13 La Rancherita. It's pricey but worth it. Huge sandwich. The watermelon agua fresca was also amazing and worth the $. Great spot, very nice and clean inside.

    We went today looking for something good to eat and we found this amazing place .. Marina suggested some Tortas and they were just to die for ! Really great place ! Very clean , food is jimmy and the service on point !

    10/10 very fresh!! Worth the tiny wait. Patience is key to great served food! Definitely will be coming back!:)

    Tully's Italian Deli - The Carmela - really drippy

    I absolutely love this store! The owner is so personable and remembers me whenever I come in…read more They cut veal chops to order, the frozen dinner selections are so good, I especially love the Chicken Cordon Blue and lasagna. The selection of olive oils that I use for cooking and finishing dishes, I can't find anywhere else. Fresh Mozzarella is another go - to... and the deserts are all exceptional. My favorite specialty store, and the subs are also freshly made to order. Thanks for all you do for the community.

    I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my…read morehead that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties. You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good.

    Omg picked up food from there truck outside of the Albuquerque Comic con at the Convention Center…read more We got the Beef Brisket sandwich and the Cream Corn Casserole! Both were served lightning quick and were delicious! I'd highly recommend this food truck anytime!

    I have had Craft Q on two occasions. I do believe I am ready to give them my unadulterated review…read more I can't give a 3.5 on the stars, but that is my rating! Their food is good. Their brisket, I really enjoy. It is fall apart tender, but it doesn't fall apart. Which I appreciate. It separates nicely when bitten into so you are not pulling a piece of brisket out when you are biting into your sandwich. The sandwich is jam packed with a generous serving of the brisket so I can't complain about that. I've only had the pleasure of the having the beans, and cream corn casserole among the sides. I can vouche for the tastiness both of them. The beans could probably be replicated, but the corn casserole is pretty unique in my opinion. I really liked it. Something like a corncake with bits of corn scattered through out. The sandwich alone is $13 or a combo for $15 which includes a side. I little on the high end in my opinion, but you won't be hungry when you are done. The only other fault in my opinion is the temperature. Both times I had them, my brisket was luke/room temp. Not really very warm at all. I dunno, but depending on your circumstances, you could always bring it home and nuke it! Sorry, no pics, I scarfed it both times without a single snap!
