Situated in a stand-alone building in the middle of some residential area but still close to a main street. There is free street parking so that nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the establishment is smaller than I'd expect with a couple of tables tightly knit together. Expect close seating and small tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also get busy, but take reservations. Asada fries - Lots of fries, crispy and loaded with toppings. The veggies, pico de gallo and salsa all come together nicely to balance out the cheese and fries. There was so much toppings that the last fries were eaten before the toppings were finished off. Taco de Carnitas - Proteins felt a bit dry and lacked sauce to back up to dryness. Big portion, but for $8.... its a bit steep. would not recommend. Taco de Carne Asada - A good portion for a single taco, but as with the other taco $8 is a bit too much for just one. This time proteins was more juicy and you get a hint for carmalization from the charred meat. Tacos not worth. Would come back for Asada fries but add protein. WIll try the wings (they look stacked) and maybe a torta. read more

We waited a while to get seated, the restaurant was super busy and we felt kind of rushed. The food was great, but took a little long to arrive. The chicken wings were dedelicious, the chicken torta was definitely spicy . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the restaurant was kind of dark and lit with candles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been a loyal follower of the Torta Boyz since they first opened up as a food truck and have always been impressed and satisfied by their food. Their brick and mortar home serves the same classics that they had at the truck and then some. Their menu has expanded to include some appetizers, tacos and cocktails. The prices have gone up but worth the money since it's probably the best mexican food in Ottawa. The fish tacos we got were made fresh and dressed with plenty of fresh, sour, creamy pairings. The Asada Fries are as good as ever. A mountain of guac and dressings and super crispy fries. Got the pastor torta this time around--this was the only thing I thought could use a bit more acidity since the meat was generous but a bit heavy. The tuna tostada is my new favourite. it was fresh, bright, spicy and as always, all the textures. Service is lovely. read more

Torta Boyz is a food truck set up in a parking lot in Little Italy. They open at 3pm until they are sold out or until 9pm. I tried to go on a Saturday at 7pm and they were totally sold out and closed. So, I went back the following week at 3:15pm and there was a huge line around the parking lot. It was a beautiful day, so I didn't mind waiting but I waited for about one hour. I would recommend going a little bit before 3pm. I ordered the Carne Asada Torta, which is a Mexican strip loin sandwich with avocado, curtido, chimichurri, and chipotle mayo. The sandwich was $16, which is a little pricey but it was very heavy and filling. It was pretty delicious! I also ordered the Asada Fries ($10) which were topped with queso, pico, guac, cilantro and onions. There were also add ins like chicken or beef for a little extra. I got the brisket with salsa pasilla (+$4). I loved the fries! There were a lot of different flavours going on, and it was sort of like a Mexican poutine. Overall, it was definitely something different and I really enjoyed it! read more

Went alone with my friends, had no food but the food tasted good, I liked the aroma of the Mexican tortas. Person at the front was very kind. I couldn't park, but the parking was very nice. The man at the front desk was super nice and he gave us free tortas. Overall I would recommend going there if you want to get some good mexican food! read more

Quite literally the best taco I've ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice decor and feels cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was also very good.

A group of 12 visited torta boyz . They made space for us on their very cute patio and we experienced the binge as you can call it Quickly getting to the good and anti good The good 1. Ooh what a cute patio , if you have a large group this is perfect evening resembling small town cafes to chat all evening over corona beer and some yummy meat 2. Meat meat meat - particularly the signature dishes carne asadas . The sandwiches are huge and loaded with meat 3. The torta bread - resembling a Portuguese bread . It's fried before it's toasted with a crunchy bottom and toasted top . Soooo good 4. Service - ooh such a friendly efficient and considerate staff and owners . Reservations and checkouts were a breeze 5. Parking - ample street parking on weekends The anti good 1 . Busy - this small joint will get busy and you can see the pressure building if you are a large group . Although the staff takes every care to make you few comfortable 2. No brunch option - it's fried bread and loaded fries guys - I'll need an option to have it before 1 Pm :) 3. Desserts : non existent just Churros , but fear not you have some top notch gelateria couple of blocks away . Standout dish We got the chicken and Carne asadas , the tuna tostada ,the tacos ,the ceviche and couple of virgin cocktails The standout dish for me will be the chicken asada . Yeasss I know the carne asadas are the bomb , but today somehow the spice mix of chicken edged read more

Finally checking out the Brick and Mortar location. Same great food, and service, in a new package. Decor is...industrial urban ghetto sheik. Lol. It's got lots of attitude supported by music that makes you want to shake your booty. From experience we know we need to split a sandwich, they're huge. Settled on the chicken, and had them recommend what fries to get, which they happily did. Everything was excellent! Yumalicious. So glad we made the trip over. read more

LOVE LOVE the food here. But unfortunately the price point has gone through the roof. Their carne asada sandwich, which is insanely delicious, was $17 in summer 2021 and on skip the dishes the same one is $24.50 ($20 in person), without a side. The asada fries, also amazing, are $17. We love the quality of the food but the price point is getting too steep. read more

Torta boyz is a food truck on Preston Street very different from your average food truck . They usually have a huge line-up and the may sold out very early . I recommend going during the week , I went on a weekday between 4-5pm and it was completely empty . I have seen the insane lines and I'm happy that I did not have to line up for so long . I got the asada fries (10$) to share with the carne asada torta (17$). Portions were huge , so it does justify the price . I am not a big fan of spicy food, and they were both spicy, so it was a bit harder for me to eat . However I did not ask if it was possible without the spicy so unsure if it will be possible not to have it , but be aware that pretty much all their menu items are spicy. They have a mini patio area, so if they have a massive line up it may be harder to sit down . Overall it was good, very good quality and the best place in Ottawa if you're craving Tortas . read more

We went to Torta Boyz for the first time as a group to celebrate a birthday. If I could give this place 6+ stars I would. Food was to die for, flavours they got it, freshness you beat. Great menu with options for everyone, a true crowd pleaser. The vibe of the restaurant makes you feel like you're on vacation. Finally the staff, truly incredible. so personable and attentive. we will definitely be going back. I'm already craving the pork torta. read more
