    Carne Asada Sope and Torta de Asada
    Jesse A.

    I've been going to King Torta for years since I was a kid and this place has always been my go-to! The tortas are amazing, and I never get tired of coming. The sopes are delicious too but I'm biased for the tortas cause the bolillo is just amazing! Never too busy here either and the food comes out pretty fast! A nice hole in the wall place with great food and casual environment to eat your lunch. Highly recommend!

    Eggs chorizo bean breakfast burrito - the ONLY kind they make.
    Angel R.

    This review is for the breakfast burrito ONLY. I haven't tried any of their other food items yet so maybe later I'll update this review with that. Went in for a breakfast burrito and was told they only have 1 kind which is beans, eggs and chorizo. Nothing else. I got it and it's pretty good, just kinda weird to have a burrito with such a soft flimsy consistency since it's just soft ingredients inside. No cheese, nothing else to firm it up. Also, this place is CASH ONLY so be aware before you go. Cashier was a nice guy, no issues there. Very nice and clean inside. I definitely will go back to check out their other items, just this breakfast burrito was disappointing.

    Has a similar price point to King Taco with an expanded menu. Place was pretty busy and a few tables still had stuff on them after previous customers. Seemed understaffed in my opinion. Had to pay cash. Had the Asada Torta which was a nice portion. The meat was seasoned alright but a bit on the saltier side and the bread was soft when I bit into it. Place is okay but not as good as its counter part in West Covina.

    Definitely not impressed with the location. Right from the start, I asked for a refill on my horchata and was told it was not refillable which was a bit disappointing considering the price. Once the food came out, the taco was surprisingly small, almost snack-sized. On the other hand, the torta was generously stuffed, which was a nice contrast. The taste overall wasn't bad it's edible and fills you up but nothing about it really stood out. The seasoning was just average, and there was nothing that made me think, "I need to come back here." Service was fine, but not particularly friendly or welcoming. The place itself felt a little run-down, with not much attention to ambiance or cleanliness. It's the kind of spot you might stop at if you're already in the area and hungry, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    Super asada nachos & crunchy beef tacos always hit! Paired with horchata or Jamaica...fire!

    Drenched tacos with hella spicy guacamole
    Leobarda G.

    Love the food! But damn they're super tight wads with the lemons . They have them secured in the back inside a safe. Only the master cook has access to those lemons. If anything Bring your own lemons and maybe salsa cause they tight with the lemons lol . Service is ok but the food makes up for it.

    Hard shell tacos
    Allie G.

    Food is absolutely delicious! Tried the hard shell tacos and the shredded beef was juicy and tender. Salsas were delicious as was the guacamole. They're generously topped with lettuce and cheese which essentially leaves you with a mini salad lol. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is the fact that almost every table both inside and outside were dirty despite it not being that busy which means they leave messes on tables for a while after people leave. Now a second thing is that although I know technical difficulties can't be predicted their credit card machine was down when we went and my friend told me it happens a little too often that it's just so inconsistent to not know when it'll be cash only or not.

    Asada Torta
    Brenda M.

    Had a delicious Asada Torta ,comes with beans ,lettuce ,onions,avocado and meat,the Bread is so soft and fresh ,I'd eat the bread alone. The carnitas was a bit dry . Service not friendly at all. Plenty of seating inside and out side ,very simple ambience.

    King Torta was hyped to me as a classic neighborhood staple and a good college struggle meal. I'm sure that was the case 20 years ago, but $16 for a torta is pretty steep. The bread was pillowy soft and that was good, the vegetables could've been smaller since they all kind of fell out in chunks. More beans than carnitas. So in a pinch it's fine, but I think they've priced themselves out of a good cost benefit ratio

    So my girl grew up out here and we decided to come this location because she said this was the original one we usually go to the Covina one so we took a little over a hour drive to come here and I'd say this was a solid 7/10 Covina one is way better , not only that the lady up front helping her service was poor I asked if they can cut the torta in half upon getting my order and she responded with "there's a knife right there" with attitude like damn why's it so hard to just ask the cook in the back to cut it for us ? Covina one always does it with no hesitation the area is cool outdoor seating and all but over all I won't make the drive to come to this one again if your ever in the Covina area I suggest you stop there and the torta here just wasn't the same neither for some odd reason ...

    Bad customer service, only taking cash, nobody really carries cash now a days and I barely had enough cash to buy lunch, I asked for a cup of water and the guy at the register was very rude and said water is $1.50 which was awfully rude! Most restaurants offer free water. Definitely my last time here! Plus the meat did not taste fresh! hORRIBLE experience will never be back here again!

My Tuna was just normal, nothing special but still ok, my husband really enjoyed his soup but was disappointed with his Italian sandwich which he wanted to substitute the ham but was told that he couldn't do that, and that he could only add double of one of the other included meats which he wound up doing and added extra mortadella in place of ham... he said his sandwich was good but he remembered it being much better in the past. All in All if I could've rated them a 3 1/2 stars I would have but they aren't worthy of 4 stars anymore.

She plopped two sandwiches on the counter and told me she got a pork and a ham from Boda. I hadn't been to this joint so I got a little giddy. I corrected her after inspecting the sandwiches, saying that they're actually banh mis. No big deal. She doesn't know better. I went for the pork banh mi first because the meat levels on the ham seemed low. I dug in and immediately saw the Chinese/Vietnamese crossover. The flavors of the pork were leaning more towards east asian. I scarfed that down and moved on to the ham, and was a little disappointed on the meat to bread ratio, which I vocalized to Martha. She told me "it was only $7 -- you get what you pay for!". I took back my comment. $7 is a good price for what they gave. Martha and I gave each other a kiss after eating. She leaned back and smiled and in-between those pearly whites was a hefty piece of cilantro. She wanted to make love, but I told her we should brush our teeth first. The next day I woke up hungover and in a pool of sweat. I looked over and Martha was gone, then glanced at the clock and saw it was noon. yikes. After we made love the night prior, I decided to go to Marcelino's and tie one on with my pal Bob. Worth it though the heatwave ain't making my life easy. The good thing is -- no cooking; and what's fresh in my mind from last night's dinner? -- A Boda banh mi. I walked over in a tank, shorts, and flops. Upon walking in, I was blasted by their cool AC. I felt alive. In line, I looked over one of their paper menus and couldn't find the banh mi. Luckily, the woman in front of me asked if she can get the pork sandwich. I thought that must be what I had last night, although I know it's a banh mi. She then went on to ask if she can get double meat, which I immediately thought to be a good idea. I thought about asking the man if I can get a banh mi, but didn't want to look like a complete fool, not knowing if they prefer calling it a sandwich. The man stared at me with a blank expression, which meant I was next in line. "Make that two pork sandwiches -- double meat!" I replied. It was $11 and mighty delicious.

I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot!
