My friend recommended this place for lunch. I am always open to try something new and different. So what exactly is a Torta? It is a Mexican sandwich served on a warm toasted roll. My friend and I got a Torta de Jalisco that had Steak and Chicken with Mayo, Avocado, and Tomato. Now you're thinking.. What a basic sandwich but OH MY GOD. Talk about a mouthgasm!!!!!! The portion was huge enough for us to share one. I got full from eating just half of the Torta. Thinking we could eat more, we actually ordered two Tortas. The next one was called the Las Macha had Pork Carnitas, Chicken, Chorizo, Hot Dog, Fried Egg, Onion, Avocado and Tomato. Lord Jesus this one was also a winner!! I gave it 5 stars because these sandwiches were simple yet amazingly good. read more

After reading the Yelp weekly lauding this place for awesome Mexican, I couldn't wait to get over here. Don't be scared by its 'strip mall' location, adjacent to one of our many local marijuana dispensaries. After checking out the small, but awesome selections of Tortas, my wife ordered the Pachuquena and I got the Ahogado Tradicional. Apparently not many non-Mexican's ordered my selection as the response was "Are you Sure?" Then when he asked Hot or Mild, my wife responded "Test Him" - never a good sign when the two guys making your sandwich have that sneaky grin. Anyway, the food was outstanding - the meat was SO tender! Despite the fact that my mouth was quivering due to the heat by the end, I wanted the sandwich to never end. My wife's was equally as awesome. I also had a couple Marg's - yep, you may think by their great taste, that there is no Tequila. Like my sandwich, the alcohol also snuck up on me. We ended up chatting with a couple of the 'servers' - they were super nice and gave some great suggestions for next time. I am definitely going with the Cubana! One of those "Hole-in-the-Walls" that everyone dreams of finding! read more

Love it. Best Tortas I've had. Unique authentic flavors. Reasonable price. I'd much rather eat here than any fast food restaurant and it's about the same price. Nothing fancy but for a lunch spot it's fantastic. read more

Believe the hype. And go with a pig meat combo. Do i really need to write more? Y'all know how I roll. Also, while I went with a regular size, a small would definitely have accommodated me nicely. read more

Best tortas in Denver! Fast, good, clean and moderately priced. Also, if you like Flan, than get some here, soooo good! read more

"This is the best sandwich I've EVER had" says my 13 year old son. "Where have these sandwiches been all my life?" says my husband. I have to agree. Amazing. Have you had a mexican sandwich before? Well these are the best. And if you haven't had one before, you are missing out. The milenesa is a particularly yummy ingredient on their sandwiches. The avocado and mexican cheese are also super good. Don't be deceived by Las Tortas' exterior - the inside is clean and well decorated . Jarritos and Mexican cokes to toast this delicious find! read more

Why not more stars? 1. They have WiFi, but it is not free. Password required. 2. No beer. So sad. We had a torta with: carnitas, chicken and Mexcian cheese. Plus all the toppings. Delicious. We will absolutely return. The flavorings in the torta were mouth watering. What I don't understand is why you would put a Mexican restaurant across the street from the Mexican Consulate. read more

Pretty good grilled meat sandwiches. Not mind blowing, as some yelpers want you to believe. - Menu is nearly all tortas filled with seasoned meat. Many include chopped hot dogs. No vegetarian options. - Their tortas have a ton of flavor, not too spicy, and quite tasty. They're big enough to fill up most adults' stomachs. - Their tortas have a ton of bread, too much in my opinion. Would be better with less bread, maybe a tortilla! They would make a great burrito, but there are none on the menu. - Interior is modern and colorful, which is surprising given the exterior appearance. - A bit pricey for being basically a taqueria. $25 for two tortas and two drinks. No chips or sides included. read more

The menu is huge and staff is friendly and willing to help. We walked in based on recommendations from a friend and evidently we were first timers. The cashier took one look at us and gave us the rundown on the menu. On top of that, while you're ordering, you can see and smell everything being made on the flat top in the back. Just do yourself a favor and go, it's so good. read more

Okay now, let me see, why was it again that I haven't been to this place sooner? Hmmm...oh, right! It's because, after hearing all the hype around the neighborhood and reading the other Yelp reviews, I had a feeling that these sandwiches would be highly addictive and my waistline does not need another reason to expand. Yep, that was it! I freely confess that I am somewhat of a picky eater. Taken individually, all of the "condiment" ingredients on the torta leave me underwhelmed. But sandwich them all together with some freshly grilled meat inside that pillowy-soft bread and it's like a party in your mouth. My grilled chicken torta also came with jalapenos on the side so I could add exactly the right amount of kick. Oh, mama! I can't wait to try some of the other menu offerings. I am really in trouble now, but in a muy delicioso way. read more

Carnitas torta = bomb! Carnitas cooked perfectly & the bread is so soft & warm... Seriously, the bread made the whole meal. I've never really tried tortas before, but I will make a point of visiting this magical place again and again... it was just that good. read more

I love Las Tortas! The first time I came here, I was a little apprehensive as I had never had a torta, but was glad to learn that Yelp didn't steer me in the wrong direction. I always order the Nortena with no tomato or onion, and am happy to report that it is always delicious. Las Tortas also carries some tasty Mexican-brand of chips that are crazy tasty and Mexican coke (which is way better than American coke if you have never tried it). The biggest complaint I have about Las Tortas is the location / parking lot. Sometimes it takes FOR-EV-ER to make it back out onto Leetsdale with the traffic, but I guess that comes with the territory. read more

Absolutely excellent food! They only seem to sell tortas (Mexican panini sandwiches, quesadillas and a salad. No burritos or tacos. This is a friendly and casual place at the end of an older strip mall. But, definitely worth the trip and older center. At their suggestion I had the Nortena. Fantastic. In the interests of "sport eating" I also, ordered the carnitas quesadilla, which comes with avocado and a small plastic ramekin of a really good and unique green sauce. Seriously, I've never tasted anything like it. I highly recommend this place. read more

Went here on the way to the airport after a week of skiing based on yelp reviews. My choice, wife none to happy with the appearance of the neighborhood/part of town. One word. Amazing!!! Had the "francis". Maybe the best sandwich I've ever had. The chorizo absolutely makes the sandwich. Wife's mind changed a nanosecond after her torta registered on her taste buds. Being from CA with the huge hispanic population, who'd think I'd get a better torta in CO? OPEN ONE IN CA!!! read more

these are some bomb ass tortas. i'm mexican -and i give this a must try. do not leave without having a michelada!!! read more

See all

Small place with order counter and couple of tables. Absolutely amazing tortas and great quesadilla.

Mexican sandwiches? Who knew? I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food. I think it's good, but it doesn't capture my heart like it does for many in the Rocky Mountains. One Friday I took off a half day, went to a dentist's appointment. A few hours later, I was absolutely ravenous and I was looking for something close by, but didn't want the same ol' burger, chain food. I pulled out my trusty iPhone and searched the Yelp app. Found in the nearby area was Las Tortas. I pass this place all the time, but never thought about stopping in. I was in for a treat.I tried the Jalisco torta and it was delicious. I definitely have plans to try it again. I was a bit worried as my Spanish is rusty, but the menu is in Spanish and English. I had great service and everyone was patient with me while I decided on my order. The bolillo roll is heavenly. Tortas are apparently from the Guadalajaran region of Mexico, which is quite interesting as I stayed in Guadalajara for 5 weeks in 1992. I wasn't familiar with the torta, during my stay. I would highly recommend this to all. read more

The photos to this place looked so amazing. I ordered the Nortena torta and it was really good. It was made hot off the grill just how I like my tortas AND they topped it off with the grill lines on the sandwich! Amazing! The meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I would love to come back here if I'm in Denver again. read more

Las Tortas, tortas virgin...no more! I've never been to Las Tortas, let alone eaten a torta. First time experience can only be described as deliciousness in my stomach. The menu breaks down fairly easy for first timers and the staff is very friendly and more than willing to help you out. All tortas come with layers of "condiments," ie beans, mayo, tomato, avocado (the best topping ever), etc. You can choose your own meat combination or a torta from their "named" menu. Everything is made to order, so there is a little bit of wait time, but all good things are worth waiting for. The restaurant is clean, smartly decorated, welcoming, and with more than enough seating for those who dine in. The portions are large enough to share with another if you're looking for a light lunch or snack! read more

Oh delicious Tortas! With your glowing neon light screaming open with delicious freshly prepared sandwiches o' wonder. Filling me in my hour of need. This place is open until 9 most nights, so not a great late night spot. But, boy do I wish it was. Seriously, how great would tortas be at 11, 12, 1 or 2? I could eat a delicious torta like the ones prepared here almost any hour of the day. AND! It's not on Federal! No offense, but If you are on the East side of Denver, Federal is not close! Oh well. The food here is filling and you satisfy your hunger for under ten bucks. The interior is clean and most closely resembles a fast food restaurant. But, the food does not taste like over processed fast food. I only wish that this place was open late. read more

This places specializes in thick, meaty, Mexican sandwiches. The decor inside is nothing to be spoken of -- don't take a date here. It basically looks like school cafeteria 2.0. I can appreciate understated decor, but really, there's nothing to mention here. The food was good but it really did not cross my 4 star theshold. We got two types of sandwiches and tried both. Neither were memorable enough to describe (beyond being PILED with meat) and both were greasy as hell. Get your grease and meat fix here. Otherwise? Skip it. read more

Not a good choice if you're trying to lose weight, but on those days you feel the urge to indulge, this is the perfect place to do so! Delicious!!! Fun atmosphere and friendly staff as well. read more

Let me preface this review the same way I preface all my reviews of restaurants. I care little about service, and less about atmosphere. If either one of those are exceptional (bad of good) that will account in my opinion of a restaurant but generally all I care about is the food. Now for the good stuff, or in this case the great stuff. Las Tortas was my first torta experience, as it is clear across town for me, naturally I have tried several other torta joints between it and my apartment. I have had some success and even found a little gem that makes my second favorite torta. At the end of the day though, Las Tortas can't be touched. My favorite torta is the Lambada (fried egg, chorizo and pork loin). They cook the meat and eggs as you order them on a flat top behind the register. The pork cut into cubes and is very good quality, the chorizo is not too spicy, and who could complain about a fried egg. The toppings, beans, avocado, tomato, onion, cheese and chipotle sauce work together perfectly. I recommend getting them all on the sandwich to start even if you don't like one or two of them so you can taste the sandwich as is it made to be enjoyed, the bread is also very solid. For me a good sandwich should have all ingredients work together in perfect harmony, no one ingredient standing out above the rest. One of the best examples of this is Las Tortas. read more

Authentic Mexican sandwiches. Ordering one sandwich and a side is a full meal for me and my wife. Love this place.

I enjoyed their Mexican drinks and the tortas, to my surprise, was much bigger and more filling than I anticipated. When I first entered the place, the kitchen smelled great! My mouth was salivating while I was waiting for my friend to arrive. Unfortunately, the tortas did not taste as good as it smelled. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad. In terms of quality of food, I'd put it more on the ABC / Panera level. Not bad, but nothing special. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I haven't really tried a lot of authentic Mexican food before so I can't speak to that, but in terms of yumminess this is incredible. I got the norteña, which they recommended. Bread was perfect combo of toasted and soft in the inside, it came loaded with lots of meat and veggies and was packed with flavor. Boyfriend got the cubana and it was packed to the brim. I think I liked his a little better just because it came with so much meat (haha). We both also got the horchata drink, which I was really looking forward to, but it was a little watery. That was the only somewhat disappointing part. Will definitely come back often. read more

I had the Tejana. Super delicious. Friendly service. Clean spot, lots of seating. Extra parking behind the building. read more

Las Tortas - The Tejana - Milanesa, smoked pork chop, Mexican cheese with everything. The most delicious torta ever! - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, Colorado

I can't get over this place. SO. GOOD. I don't usually go out for sandwiches, but moved to Denver from LA and sometimes a torta and a michelada are just what I need. The Francis is my favorite. I would go a lot more often if they offered a vegetarian option! Maybe a nice marinated mushroom? :) read more

I am Mexican and the asada torta I got was absolutely the best I've ever had. Too bad I'm only visiting the area, otherwise I would definitely become a regular. read more

So bomb I went three times last week and the Michelada was on point tortas with the fried jalapeño hit the spot!

There are certain restaurants which perform their specialty so well, they put nearly all other restaurants to shame. Las Tortas is one of those places. Las Tortas has truly perfected... you guessed it... tortas. Tortas are basically Mexican sandwiches, and the Las Tortas variety can only be explained as the greatest panini you will ever eat. These Las Tortas' sandwiches come in a variety of meats, perfectly pressed and topped with cheese, onions, lettuce, avocado, a hint of beans, and an incredible chipotle sauce. A jalapeño is included on the side for those looking for a kick. The bread has beautiful markings from the press, which adds just the slightest perfect crunch before you get to the pillow soft, airy white bread inside. The meat is juicy and each bite sends the mixture of toppings running over the meat for yet even more tenderness and flavor. Im telling you, these things really are perfection. I go with the Norteña, but I'm pretty sure you could throw darts at a board here and be fine. In conclusion, go to Las Tortas, have one of the best sandwiches you've ever tasted, and join the club who can't stop thinking about these. read more

Our initial adventure at finding this location turned out to be quite a silly one, but upon arrival, Las Tortas didn't disappoint! After about 10 minutes of staring at the menu, which appears simple but proved to be anything but, I went with the $4.99 steak barbacoa sandwich, piled high with cheese, beef, avocado slices, mayo, refried beans & chipotle sauce. The store is clean, service very friendly & everything is made right in front of you & very quickly. Having made a couple visits now, this is a sandwich that will leave you craving more. I highly suggest taking a to-go menu so as to plan your next torta to save you some time. read more

The tortas here are super tasty. They're guilty pleasures, given the size of the tortas and the rather fatty ingredients in them (cheese, mayo, grease). I love how they put them in a panini press. The venue is pretty decent for tak out. The only gripe I have is that the torta bread is a little stale sometimes. Overall, a great choice for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

I must admit, I don't conclusively know where the best tortas are in the Denver area. On the flipside, though, I can't imagine any other place has better tortas than can be found at the aptly named Las Tortas. The restaurant is on a busy strip of Leetsdale, and seems to be busy enough to keep the food fresh and staff moving quickly. I went with the Norteno torta for lunch, which was headlined by some flavorful carne asada. It more than filled me up, and was a simply delicious blend of ingredients (including cheese, avocado and more) that were quickly served up on tasty bread. I noticed several other combinations on the menu that sounded really good, as well. Also, Las Tortas had a Spanish and English book lending library in the rear of the restaurant, which was kind of neat. It's hard to imagine that someone on the hunt for tortas in Denver would be let down in any way by a trip to Las Tortas. read more

After reading other reviews of Las Tortas I was expecting a real "hole in the wall" type place. Although it's located in a small strip mall, I was pleasantly surprised by the interior of this small but wonderful restaurant. It has that Chipotle-ish type decor - with stainless steel and wood. They have made it very comfortable. What really delighted me however was how fabulous the tortas are. My husband and I split a torta containing carnitas, chicken and mexican cheese. Also available, and included a no-extra-charge is lettuce, tomato, avocado (perfectly ripe and creamy), onions and chipotle sauce. The bread, or bun, was perfectly soft on the inside and crusty (grilled panini style). The flavors worked together perfectly - none overpowering the other. Yum...really YUM! We go out to lunch a lot (see other reviews) and have tried many places that we've liked but will probably not go back to - so many restaurants, so little time - but we will, I'm certain, become regulars at Las Tortas. read more

LOVE these tortas. LOVE. This place dishes out the best tortas that I've had in Denver so far. A friend/co-worker moved into a place a couple blocks from here. Las Tortas is our go-to place for lunch breaks. The service is fast and the price is right for the amount of delicious torta you get. The menu is overwhelming with dozens and dozens of different tortas to pick from or you can build your own. The space is kind of cramped, but they have a decent amount of seating. read more

I'm fairly new to tortas, but I'm a believer (hey, hey). I have tried the a few different places, and these are easily the best I've had. I think they recently expanded their menu and I can't wait to try more. The Norteña is great and I love the pickled jalapeño they serve with it. The tortas are a full meal and are made to order. Don't miss out. This place is a keeper. read more

Good tortas, good portions 10/10 will come back many more times. Idk why I gotta keep writing but go get a torta

Best sandwich place in Cherry Creek. If you've never tried a mexican sandwich... boy are you missing out! I had the Lambada and my gf had the Nortena. The Lambada was more hearty and heavy and the Nortena was more lean in comparison. Both were really tasty. I think I would very slightly favor the Lambada. read more

This place is dank as f$#k. I partied in Denver the night prior to finding this spot, and their torta ahogada brought me back to life! Long ways for me to have a Torta Ahogada since the last time I had one was back in California The Torta Ahogada was insane! The sauce was made of of habanero and some combination of lime and other spices. Great portions and tasted super authentic and immediately after the first bite I had flashbacks of partying in Guadalajara Jalisco with some homies back in 2010. They used pulled pork/carnitas style along with lettuce and sautéed onions. Super Bomb! The people working the establishment are all super nice and friendly. It was cool seeing paisanos so far away from Mexico, straight hustling and making dank tortas. This place is a must if you want dank Mexican food in Denver Colorado. read more
