This review is going to be in English and Spanish. Teníamos ganas de menudo pero queríamos probar algun lugar nuevo. Siempre es difícil encontrar un lugar con menudo rico y autentico pero que suerte haber encontrado este restaurante! El menudo estuvo delicioso, enchilosito y muy sabroso. El caldo estaba un poco diferente de lo que había probado antes- un poco espeso y con un sabor muy distinto que no había probado en los lugares que acostumbro. Unas de las parte que me encantaron fueron las tortillas hechas a mano- recién hechas. Tenían un toque que me gustó mucho, como si tuvieran manteca. Mi novio pidió chilaquiles verdes y también muy ricos. Hasta nos trajeron un plato pequeño para compartir el menudo entre mi novio y yo. Nos regalaron un agua de pepino y tienen totopos con salsa y frijoles de cortesía. El servicio fue muy atento y amable. La gente que trabaja ahí nos cayó muy bien. Esperamos volver pronto! We were craving menudo but wanted to try a new place. It's always hard to find a place with delicious, authentic, so we were lucky to come across this restaurant! The menudo was delicious--spicy and full of flavor. The broth was a bit different from what I'd had before; it was slightly thick and had a unique taste unlike the others I've had. One of the highlights for me was the handmade tortillas--they were freshly made. They had a flavor I really liked, almost as if they were made with lard. My boyfriend ordered the green chilaquiles, which were also very tasty. They even brought us a small extra bowl so we could share the menudo. We were treated to a complimentary cucumber agua fresca, and they provide free chips with salsa and beans. The service was very attentive and friendly; we really liked the staff. We hope to be back soon! read more

La Torta Loca - Menudo - so delicious - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Review is solely on pricing / over charging issues. Unfortunately I don't have the receipt from last week but I kept today's. My coworkers and I really enjoy the food and the fact that it's only 5mins away from the office. We have ordered before online but that was a shit show and he said to call it in. We have and have been overcharged every time. He is what I ordered: 2 chilaquiles with scrambled eggs no meat a breakfast burrito and a pollo burrito. Over the phone he said 66 total. I was charged $69 and online ordering is $59...make it make sense. I called to ask about individual pricing and he said $18 chilaquiles $13.25 breakfast burrito and $13.25 pollo burrito. Weird since his menus aren't outdated. Anyway - we have decided not to order from here anymore unless we individually place an order online and deal with the chaos later. read more

Great Mexican food with extraordinary service. It's a small little location, it shares a wall with another restaurant right next to it, so just be sure to walk into the right one. I walked into the wrong place the first time. Came here looking for some Menudo and they're more than delivered. They have Menudo every day and if I lived in the area, I might be tempted to get some every day because it is great. The staff is very friendly, they even gave us some chips and beans to eat while we waiting for our food there agua Fresca are amazing as well The next time I'm in the area in the morning and craving some Menudo, this will be the place I will be going to. read more

The customer service won me over! The lady working the cashier was so sweet and hardworking. I got a beef birria torta and it was soooo good. I requested really spicy sauce and they delivered. We ordered to-go, but I feel like eating there would be a fun experience. It's a little smaller, but still comfortable. The ambiance is bright with lots of decor on the wall. Parking's not bad and it's right by the 5 and 55 freeways! read more

Wanted a quick torta and this place delivered. Hospitality was on point and I was greeted by a nice older gentleman upon entering. I ordered a chicken milanesa torta. While waiting I was given complimentary agua Fresca (watermelon), chips, beans, and salsa. I was pleased with the sides and the drink. The agua Fresca was refreshing and delicious, and the chips were freshly fried. My torta was on point and the chicken was juicy and tender. The torta was big and filling. Definitely will come back again when I am in the area. read more

Great food and the customer service was excellent. I had a torta Cubana and my dad had a caldo de res ( beef broth) . The place wasn't the prettiest, but made up with a great home ambiance. I would definitely recommend it. read more

I decided to come here for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The moment I walked in, the owner greeted me with a papaya juice and a warm smile. I took his recommendation on the carne asada torta and I waited for my order. As I was waiting, he brought out some tortilla soup for me to try. This is one of those family owned restaurants that we have to keep close to our hearts because they truly are the core of the oc community. The food was great. The Torta was huge! And it came with grapes. The tortilla soup was flavorful and rich. The papaya juice was light and refreshing. I can't say better things about this place - it's a gem. read more

Amazing service the staff is so friendly and the food was and is amazing I would try everything on this menu

Picked this place randomly upon waking up craving menudo. Called in and ordered 4 menudos to go. Although very delicous, it was pretty pricey. I dont know if adding Harmony is extra and they didnt let me know? but for 4 menudos and a couple drinks it added up to about $130. Pretty steep for a hole in wall in santa ana.. read more

La comida estuvo riquisima!! Pero el servicio fue expectacular. Raul, Muchas gracias por tan Linda atencion Que nos diste!

Very yummy and they deliver to my office. So great food, very nice. I totally recommend this place. Oh and I'm salsa nut, that's good, too.

The owner very courteous gentleman... right away offered us watermelon water... which very refreshing my teenage daughters enjoyed but had to have my Coca Cola imported from Mexico...with plate of salsa and refried pinto beans accompanied with tostada chips very tasty while we waited for our food in very nice small restaurant spot. My Carne Asada Torta very well plated with radishes and baby onions with a grilled jalapeño (sweet flavor not spicy) seasoned with lemon and salt. My Girls had Carne Asada Tacos with handmade tortillas and my Husband gobble up the Milanesa Torta that he ended up saying we would definitely come back when In the area (we driving down from valley on way to soccer game in Oceanside and needed to fuel up before girls game). Overall great dining experience wish him and his family the best. read more

Amazing food. Tastes just like it came from our grandparents kitchen. Best chilaquiles I've ever tried. Horchata was absolutely delicious. Tastes just like a dessert. Quick service. When we're in the area, we will definitely be back. Thank you Raul for taking great care of our family! read more

La Torta Loca - Half red & half green. Absolutely amazing! - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

La Torta was pretty solid but really a 4.5, rounded up to a 5 mainly for extras (I'll explain). We had a quesadilla for the kid, Al pastor tacos, asada torta, asada nachos, and asada wet burrito. The asada items really were probably more 3-4 star but the al pastor tacos were excellent, easy 5 star. I definitely recommend getting the al pastor when there. The tortillas were hand made and the al pastor meat had a rich and robust flavor that was some of the best I've had in town. The owner gave us a free papaya fruit water, which was refreshing and tasty, and he gave me a bag of pickled habaneros and onions, which was out of this world and something I've not ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant before.. I loaded up my tacos with the mix and they were really some of the best tacos I can remember having for quite a long time, including just coming from phoenix.. loved it! I probably won't order the asada when I go back (not that it was bad but not excellent like the pastor) but I definitely will be back for that pastor!! Oh and ambiance was a bit tight so it's really more a place to get food to go but could seat a few folks. read more

As soon as we walked in, the owner greeted us warmly and offered refreshing guava juice--it felt like we were family from the start. He recommended his signature torta Cubana, and we couldn't resist trusting his suggestion. It did not disappoint. You could taste the love and care his family put into every bite. This is clearly a family-run business, and it shows in the atmosphere and the food. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to come out and support this gem of a place. We'll definitely be back, next time with even more friends to share this wonderful experience! read more

I ordered menudo today and it had no flavor, tasted plain. Also got chilaquiles verdes and they were ok, I was a bit disappointed tbh.

The food was amazing! Homemade tortillas and the huevos rancheros were the best. The service was amazing. The owner was very nice and very attentive. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Service was great -- friendly and attentive staff. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the experience. The chilaquiles were very watered down and lacked flavor, and the juice tasted diluted as well. For almost $30, I expected much better quality. I don't mind paying more when the food delivers, but this just didn't hit the mark. read more

Service was amazing; the owner is so welcoming and attentive. Complimentary chips, salsa, beans and natural fruit beverage. Food was authentic and delicious. The lentil soup was outstanding! If I could give 100 stars for hospitality; I would! Wish this owner the best. read more

The food and service was amazing. I wish we took pictures of the food but it was so yummy we devoured it all.

Friendliest service, the owner was so kind to my small kids. What a treat to have on our way down to San Diego. Great tacos- we tried chicken, carnitas, and carne asada. My daughter loved the refried beans with chips. Delicious!! Great place to eat as a family and we really appreciated that they let us use their bathroom. Thank you!! Easy parking lot, a nice stress free place to stop and grab some lunch. Wonderful prices too- our family of four had lunch and a pitcher of papaya juice for $24! Highly recommend. read more

This was my first time here. I ordered torta de asada. The bolillo was big, but the filling was sparse. The service was excellent, and the gentleman who helped me was nice. He gave me some watermelon juice, and it was very good and refreshing. I gave this place four stars because of the gentleman, but this might not be the place for me. I encourage others to try this place and form their own opinions. read more

I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito to go. While I waited, I was given a sample of their cucumber agua Fresca and a cup of vegetable soup. The burrito was delicious. I will definitely be back to try other food options. read more

This place is the definition of great Mexican food. Too many times I end up at a restaurant and regret buying my food there because it's over priced and bland- but not this place. La torta loca has well priced, delicious food with that home made abuelita touch. Every time I come here and sit down, they never cease to make sure I have enough agua Fresca, beans, chips, and salsa. The staff are about the friendliest and most welcoming I have ran into, they believe in their food and want nothing more than for you to enjoy it. The feel of the restaurant gives you the nostalgia and vibe of eating breakfast in your grandmas kitchen at the table. 10/10 would recommend and I wish I could give more than five stars. read more

My boyfriend and I were in town and wanted some Mexican food. We picked this place and we arrived a few minutes or so before closing. The gentleman that helped us out was super attentive and kind. Ambiance was alright, nothing too special just a regular authentic Mexican restaurant. My boyfriend loved his food and I loved my mojarra. We were given free papaya Agua Fresca. Only downside was the amount of flies. My boyfriend and I had to constantly shoo them away. Other than that service and food was wonderful. read more

At La Torta Loca, the exceptional customer service truly stole the show during my visit. From the owner's generous gesture of offering a complimentary fruity water to the unparalleled care and attention given to both me and my dog, every moment was marked by genuine warmth and hospitality.

Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend La Torta Loca for an unforgettable dining experience centered around impeccable customer care. En La Torta Loca, el servicio al cliente excepcional realmente se robó el espectáculo durante mi visita. Desde el generoso gesto del dueño de ofrecer un agua de frutas de cortesía hasta el cuidado y atención inigualables dados tanto a mí como a mi perro, cada momento estuvo marcado por una calidez y hospitalidad genuinas. Y cuando una compañera comensal elogió sus tacos, solo reforzó el extraordinario nivel de servicio que distingue a este lugar.

Picked this place on a whim with a friend as I was craving a Cubana, didn't see it on the menu but went in anyways. The owner greeted us with enthusiasm, served us fresca without question, and offered to make a Cubana before I even asked! He even rearranged some seats just for us. The service was quick, the place felt family owned and cozy, and as for the food? They did a fantastic job! I'd recommend this spot any day, the owners are running a great place and they deserve the love from more customers. read more
