A local favorite. Can't go wrong with these hard shell asada tacos! Service staff is always friendly.

I Love their Chile verde; it's been my go-to for many years. Altho the price went up (~$20 for the plate), it is well worth it. It is on the spicy side, but that's what I like. read more

I love small hole in the wall, non-chain restaurants. First time here but definitely not my last. This place has some great tasting hard shell tacos dripping with some of the best home made salsa. These things were stuffed with carnitas, carne asada, and chicken. This is a must try. Make sure to grab enough napkins. Can't forget about the excellent service. read more

I've been frequenting the Placentia area a lot more recently and was craving a good torta. I found this place so I had to check it out! Here's what I've tried so far: **Asada Taco: The taco was a little bland. It was also topped with pico de gallo. Definitely a different style but they were very generous with the meats. (3/5) **Carnitas Torta: This was easily the best torta I've had in a very long time. Very generous on the carnitas and it was also very delicious. Loved the pico de gallo on top along with the other veggies. Definitely a steal for the price. (4/5) Waited around 5 minutes after placing an order for takeout which wasn't too bad at all. The woman at the front was super friendly and served everyone with a huge smile. I won't be back for the tacos but will definitely try more of the tortas. read more

First time visiting in 16 years. Plenty of competition around and a backwards drive through (everything in and out the passenger door). Staff was friendly. You do have to drive up to the window to order as there is no drive through box. It is a bit on the slower side but worth it, food was tasty. The tacos were ginormous! Fully loaded it comes with refried beans at the bottom. Love the large fresh tomato in it and it was a very filling option. I also picked up some bean and cheese burritos. Again the portions were very much on the large side. After waiting so long I'll be back soon read more

Q-Tortas - Tacos were huge! Plus full of refried beans at the base of the taco. - Mexican Near Me - Placentia, California

I ordered the burrito de asada, it was really good and full of flavor. I also tried one of their tortas, and while it's not your typical sandwich style torta (the bread wasn't sliced like a regular torta), it was still loaded with meat and super tasty. Overall, solid spot. read more

Was referred here by a local Golf bro we got paired up with while playing Fullerton Golf course. He swore their tacos de Chicharron were legit. Man it was totally worth the stop. I got a Taco de Chicharron so yummy. Also had a Torta de Carnitas, gotta say ill def be back for those 2 things. They use a different type of bread for their Tortas. Its smaller, softer and makes a difference. So good. Place is small, looks like its been in the community fir a while, we just found it by coincidence but so glad we did. read more

Great Service and Food. Did a order of 3 Lbs of pork carnitas, large rice and beans and pico de gallo salsa. Have eaten on site before and. Every time I order something different. Always good. They have five booths that can seat four people each. Two indoor tables for two people each and a outdoor round picnic table that seats eight people. Come early on Saturday or Sunday as the carnitas run out. This is. The current menus as of 4/1/2025. Please call to find out current pricing. read more

Whenever we can't decide on dinner, Q Tortas is one of our go-to's because it just hits the spot every time. Their chicken flautas (basically taquitos) are amazing and come topped with crema, green sauce and shredded lettuce. Another favorite is their hard shell carnitas tacos which comes filled with refried beans on the bottom, meat, lettuce, sharp cheddar cheese & sour cream. If you're in the mood to split a meal, go for the carnitas nachos...you will not be disappointed! read more

Q-Tortas - Hard shell carnitas tacos & chicken flautas (taquitos) - Mexican Near Me - Placentia, California

My daughter and I stopped in today, and from the moment we walked through the door, the experience was amazing. The lady working the front was beyond kind and helpful. As we sat and ate, we noticed how many customers greeted her like old friends--you can tell she knows her clientele well and that people keep coming back because of the welcoming service. Now, the food. We ordered a carnitas torta and a hard shell shredded beef taco, and both were phenomenal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and had that comforting, home-cooked feel. The taco was perfectly crunchy, with deliciously seasoned beef that soaked up all the flavorful juices. Paired with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and their fresh salsa--it was simply outstanding. The carnitas torta was top-notch as well. Tender carnitas, fresh pico de gallo, and all the right textures and flavors in every bite. The salsas and pico de gallo were fresh and vibrant, elevating everything we ate. This place is perfect whether you want a quick bite to go or to sit down and enjoy. High-quality Mexican food, great service, and a welcoming vibe--what more could you ask for? Definitely a must-try spot in Placentia. My daughter and I both agree--10 out of 10. read more

Delicious carnitas hard shell taco and bean and cheese burrito. I couldn't finish it all and saved for second lunch. Decent prices. Small cute area to eat inside. read more

Authentic and iconic! If you want a real taste of Mexican food and a small location to eat and enjoy, then you found it. My wife grew up eating here and even after 13 years away it is still excellent! The carnitas tacos with pico is the way to go. Get chips and the red salsa but be ready for a bit of heat and a drippy nose! The beans are also very good. You can't go wrong so order up! read more

Q-Tortas - Carnitas, chips and beans - Mexican Near Me - Placentia, California

Anytime we have an event, always get our rice and bean trays and a bag of chips from here! Delicious!

Chile verde burrito is bomb service is good for a small place would recommend gotta try there other burritos also had Jamaica it was really good too read more

Been Eating here on and off for twenty years. My go to lunch is an asada sopa. The corn masa speared with refried beans creates the perfect bed for the hot/cold components. Don't let the modest location keep you from enjoying some of best mexican food Southern California has to offer. Chef's kiss Don't forget the salsa. read more

This spot is the only (technically) Mex fast food spot in old town p town. Wts, their prices can creep up quick on certain orders, so watch yourself with the add ons and sides. I left there with easily a $40 bill for 2 people who aren't gorging themselves is a little steep. However, The food and service is always consistently good bordering on great! read more

Food is authentic Pico de gallo is amazing Chips are the bomb The carne asada tacos are amazing. Great family owned we love to do take out from here read more

This place was a massive disappointment. Ordered an all-meat carne asada burrito and what I got was full of so much pico de Gallo and refried beans that it was waterlogged. I took a bite and the other end of the burrito burst like a water balloon! What little meat was there was tough and mealy. Avoid unless you want donkey meat. read more

Amazing quality food every time my family and I come here. Friendly service also and the salsa they have is spicy with a lot of flavor highly recommend trying this spot read more

Best Mexican food I've had in probably a decade. If you like spicy you NEED to try the green chili burrito "it's pork". Also, the carne asada is EXCELLENT. read more

Took 25 minutes to get my food, and it was not good at all. Meat was dry and somehow cold even though I thought they cooked it fresh for it to take that long. A tiny bit of pico de gallo as well. read more

I was introduced to this small wonder of Mexican food over 25 years ago. This place has been a family tradition and favorite. My go to is torta de carnitas . The meat has always been seasoned with plenty care , soft and tender, the sauce- pico de gallo is the icing on top. I travel to get to this place.... I recommend the tacos de chicharon, if you know how this should taste, well .... form your opinion. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Horrible service. The lady in the front was rude and she was mad she had to stop eating to take our order. Never washed her hands and gave us the food. The food itself was scarce. Never coming back. La vieja de enfrente estaba enojada. Nos trató mal. Se enojó que le interrumpimos su cena, y nos trató mal. La comida me dieron como 4 papas y page $5 por ellas. Nunca regreso. No vallan read more

Looks do deceive. Flautas plate looked really good, but Flautas did not seem freshly made. Tortilla was hard to chew. Chicken was dry and had no flavor. Even with allthe sauce on top and Pico de gallo and hot sauce. So disappointed. read more

this place is more like a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. so, i wanted to get El Farolito right down the street, but it was way too crowded. i already parked so i wanted to find something nearby. luckily this place wasn't too far away. we ended up getting a carne asada torta, carnitas burrito and an al pastor taco. the best item was the burrito. the meat worked really well with the beans inside. the al pastor was kinda different, it was adovada, which i never had before. they said it was similar but more juicy. i actually prefer regular al pastor that comes from the spit. the weirdest item was the torta.... typically when i get tortas from other places, its like a sandwich. (i assume that if you name your place after torta, your tortas must be really good) however, they serve it to you in like a half cut french roll, which i find really weird. they also have green and red sauce if you ask. the red wasn't too spicy, but i much prefer the green sauce. the place is kinda small. there are only like 7 tables inside, and some tables outside. read more

Q-Tortas - Tacos, burritos, and a tortas - Mexican Near Me - Placentia, California

Awwww yeaaaa. Looking for a cheap alternative to what is being offered at El Farolito or El Cantarito? Come on over! Hubby and my go-to drug -- I mean, snack -- is the chips and cheese. It's purely just tortilla chips with melted cheese on top of it, but it's just crack to us. The hamburgers are really good, and they are definitely built according to their weight (1/4 lb, 1/3 lb, 1/2lb); only thing we don't really about the hamburgers is that it's pretty gross on the second day if you don't finish it that initial day. Just soggy, no flavor, can't hold itself up, etc. Burritos are good, and tacos are okay. With the above being said, Q-Tortas is not gourmet food. This is like the fast food version of El Farolito or El Cantarito, and I guess it could be considered "crap" food because you'll likely get noooo kind of nutritional value of any sort. But, if you need food, it'll hit your cravings, it's cheap, and it's quick enough. read more

Been eating here since 1985, and my go to is always Asada tacos with cheese and Asada burritos with cheese... red sauce!

Muy chingon! You guys need to bring your mom bring your dad n all your children n tell Fernando and Maria how awesome they cook!!!!!

Been coming here since I was a kid, decided to go today and usually there is a whole jalapeño next to torta inside the aluminum. There was nothing so I decided to drive back to get it and the lady that works there didn't bother helping at all, she told me the jalapeño and salsa where inside of the torta. I was so confuse. There for I never got no jalapeño nor salsa, she was no help and kind of rude too. read more

Very upset with the pricing and quality of food, used to be great now they gouge people... charge for salsa?? not even extra salsa? and the carne asada is nothing like it used to be. So sad , go to El Farlito. read more

Love Love Love this place, thank you Q-Tortas for always being consistent and for the best salsas both red or green, carnitas, and beans! Everything here is good but those are my favorites! read more

Usually get the carnitas burrito without pico. It's carnitas, beans and tortilla, really delicious but what's up with charging for salsa? And I'm not talking about extra salsa, I mean they charge for your first salsa. Don't think I've ever heard of that before. So beware, also the salsa is just ok read more

Q Torta may look like a hole in the wall, but OMG... don't pass this place up! Having eaten there before, I knew how amazing their carnitas are so I ordered food for a large family get together and of course- the food was amazing. The gal taking my order was extremely friendly. When the order was ready, another gal double checked everything. I was happy she took the time to do it, but f course it was all there from the start. The carnitas are killer. We devoured carnitas burritos, tacos and a few carnitas plates. The rice and beans were delicious too. I highly recommend this little hole in the wall. You'll be happy you tried it. read more

Food is still really good but I find that service has become really slow. Update: Just opened up my order at home. The shredded beef (barbacoa) burrito that I ordered wasn't there but there was a bean and cheese burrito with ground beef in it. LOL. The girl taking the order showed me her notebook when I was ordering, and I saw that she had written the order down perfectly. I suspect the order was either input incorrectly, or it was misinterpreted by the cook. Make sure to double check when ordering. read more

I have been coming here for years ! Moved out to corona and still make the drive out to Placentia to come eat at q torta! Love the tortas and burritos. Staff is always welcoming. We usually do drive through but seating is available outside and inside if needed. Come try this spot! You won't regret it. read more

This update is long overdue. I have been coming to Q Tortas my whole life, literally. This has been my family's go-to place to bring anyone visiting (as it is right down the street from their house). The food is simple, no frills, extras etc. but if you're in the mood for some tasty quick Mexican food this is the place. I love the carnitas sopes, bean & cheese burritos but the ultimate are the flautas. Don't forget to get some pico de gallo on the side (or as its been called for years, chunky salsa). read more

I wanted to take the time to give Q-tortas a shot out. They were so kind and service was amazing when I called in for a last minute large order a few weeks ago. My grandmother passed away and all of the family hadn't eaten in quite some time. I called and asked for a meal to feed about 15-20 people and they had it ready in 30 minutes. We were so grateful. Thank you! read more
