Their carne asada was so dry and disgusting that I might have just turned vegan. Truly disappointed. Plenty of other options that you should consider before before here. read more

Tortas just has real and good Mexican food. Highly recommend. I cook a lot of Mexican food, I still go there and enjoy. Can't go wrong. read more

The first time here with a co-worker and we found the place by word of mouth. A lady at the clinic where we were working at recommended the place. The food was good and the lady's working there were very nice. The plate I ordered had plenty of food. I would come again read more

Paid $12 for a Carne Asada Burrito and pretty much got a bean burrito with maybe 3 small pieces of carne asada inside which I needed to open my Waze app to find. I kept eating it to see if maybe it was all at the bottom? ...but that's a hard nope. When someone orders a carne asada burrito they shouldn't get a bean burrito with a "maybe we'll toss some meat in there" burrito. read more

Tortas Mexico - Mexican Near Me - Montrose, California

Unsatisfied food it was $15 for a torta and Coca-Cola that looked like a flat sandwich not to say super small. I demand an increase/portion on the meat and bigger bread for that price. Not only that the salsa taste like junk . Over all my review is the taco trucks or vendors on the street are far more Mexican and better than this place. read more

Order 2 lunch specials Chicken taquitos and chicken enchiladas and a asada burrito off the kids menu Inside the burrito was 2 big chunks of fatty Gristle that my daughter almost choked on 30dollors no chips or salsa Stick with la cabanita rite down the street. No love put into it. read more

Tortas Mexico - 2 big chunks of Gristle - Mexican Near Me - Montrose, California

Friendly staff, good value. Ordered one torta to share, and they even gave me some extra chips. The carne asada torta was nothing fancy, but REALLY good for me. The beef had a little char flavor, and I could taste the avocado, lettuce and tomatoe, and other mayo and spread on soft bread w beans. Awesome, authentic, and I'll be back for more. read more

Everything on the menu is really well made and delicious... Except the tortas! The tortas are bland and lack flavor, sloppy and just overall a disappointment. It's ironic that their namesake is their weakest dish. The burritos and tacos, especially the asada, are absolutely delicious however and full of flavor. The grilled asada is definitely recommend as the meat of choice. The horchata is the best we've had anywhere and it truly is like crack. The churros are good when they're made well, but they're very inconsistently made. Sometimes they're loaded with cinnamon and sugar, other times it's just dough. The pozole is good but inconsistent as well, depending on how old it is we feel. Sometimes it's loaded with flavor and seasoned just right, other times it's just an oil slick of fat that's simmered too long. Overall if you're looking for some good Mexican food locally they are a solid choice and you'll probably be happy with whatever you choose... Just skip the tortas! read more

awesome lunch special. I order here almost everyday for my guys. They love it and they always compliment me for bringing lunch. You have options with tacos, soup, burritos, or tortas between 11-3pm for less than $8 read more

Pleasant visit with some friends and had the family pack(1 Lb. Carnitas, rice, beans, tortillas, chips), all for $15. The food is good and portions are above average (not sure what other yelpers whining about.) Salsa bars are always a generous bonus gestures for customers, seems like it is well kept here as I witnessed an staff member refilling and checking temperatures making sure everything was great. read more

Tortas Mexico - Not your average family pack! - Mexican Near Me - Montrose, California

We have used your catering for all of our events and you are always a hit with everyone. The taco bar is our favorite! The food is fresh and delicious. We also love your family meals which make for a quick and tasty dinner for a regular night or when we have company over. The staff is always wonderful! Thanks so much! read more

The quality of the meat that is used for Burritos is hard to eat. There are pieces that are not edible and they can use some flavor. Perhaps hiring someone who specializes in marinating the Carne would make a huge difference. read more

Delicious... I Called at 7:45 PM on Saturday night. The young man that answered the phone was so friendly and helpful. They close at 8:00pm probably due to the pandemic... They didn't rush me... When I arrived my food was ready to go. I got home and our food was hot and delicious. We ordered the Chicken family meal and an extra pound of Carne Asada. Soooo much delicious food. It comes with plenty of rice and creamy refried beans and we chose corn tortillas.. Onions and cilantro too!! I'm on Keto plan and have my own low carb tortillas at home.. I made my own "quesadilla" and it was perfect.. I am so thrilled they were open and that they treated me so kindly even though I called at the last minute. read more

Tortas Mexico - My keto quesadilla made from their Family Chicken Deal... Added Carne Asada... - Mexican Near Me - Montrose, California

My husband and I eat breakfast at this place often. Service is quick and food is excellent.

We've been ordering here for years now- family meals I understand why covid has caused prices to go up- that's not the issue- the problem is that QUALITY has gone out the window. The meats and beans were not seasoned and they were DRY. It's a shame - if you raise your prices at least don't skimp on quality. This is a favorite for us to grab at minimum 1-2x a month for the family and not ONE of my family members was able to say that it was decent. I HOPE someone there can bring the quality back - seasoning and fresh (not over cooked and super dry and hard) meat choices read more

Fish Tacos .....yummmcouldn't resist taking a bite.. big portion amazingly fresh ..sauce spicy delicious ordered asada quesadilla so much cheese and lots of meat came with a great portion of guacamole and sour cream... Lot's of chips & salsa nice crunch to them Staff was wonderful ordered online was fast and on time everything was perfect would definitely give this place a try located next to Vons in Montrose ,Ca read more

This place has gone down hill. They cater to mostly white folk that don't really know what real Mexican food tastes like so they get away with a lot. I go in yesterday to get nachos, went to the salsa bar and their salsa was completely watered down. I would never put that out to be served . It looked like murky dish water. I definitely won't be going back there cause they're not selling quality Mexican food. They're selling what I would say is 2 steps above Taco Bell food. I'll just drive to LA for real good authentic Mexican food. Step ur game up guys. read more

(Dined 12/13/14 SA @ 7:00pm & 12/17/14 W @ 5:00pm): You found more than tortas at this Mexican restaurant! I used to eat at Tortas Mexico when I was a poor starving college student in the 90's at their hole-in-the-wall location in La Canada Flintridge. Then, I saw this Groupon deal (i.e. two $10.00 drinks/food vouchers for $6.00 each) that brought back memories of inexpensive Mexican food in the Foothill communities when that was all I could afford. I reconnected myself with them after all these years and here was my first experience after nearly 20 years: Strawberry Margarita ($4.99) - As inviting as it looked, there was nary any alcohol and tasted like a melted Otter Pop (Strawberry Short Kook)! Neither blended nor on the rocks, it had multiple ice chips throughout. This was a total fail, but I drank it anyway. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=qAA5FpvPYfBq6qY2iuPnVw Ultimate Wet Carnitas Burrito ($8.79) - Filled with my choice of meat (carnitas), refried and pinto beans, rice, onions, cilantro and salsa all wrapped inside a large flour tortilla, I "ultimized" this sucker and made it all wet covered with more cheese, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo and sour cream. The meat was plentiful and cut into perfectly chewable pieces. While I was happy with most of the ingredients, I wished there was more cilantro, guacamole and lettuce. Otherwise, I threw this down! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=35EBgY6HyAfzxVUFmUDiqA Complimentary Fresh Tortilla Chips and Pacifico Beer ($3.00 HH) - I loved fresh warm tortilla chips! You helped yourself to any level of salsa hotness to accompany the chips. And I was in a Pacifico mood... http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=byEEQPspohxJB_W5QfDjgQ Grilled Tilapia Fish Taco ($2.99) - Battered and fried with bits of onions on two soft white corn tortillas, this needed some lettuce or even pico de gallo. No worries, I added some carrots and salsa myself. Hot off the grill, I was happy with the amount of fish. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=PPXybsswIwdjRUDSWiVohQ Carne Asada Tostada Bowl ($8.49) - Crispy flour tortilla shell filled with refried beans, lettuce, choice of meat (carne asada), cheddar Jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo, the meat was plentiful but varied from moist and supple to burnt and hard. The pieces were good chewable size but not a fan of having to really chew the meat. Also, the other ingredients (especially lettuce) were kind of lacking; thus, the bowl seemed a bit shallow. All the ingredients were fresh so it was still an enjoyable entrée. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=zAlXuN0U40ls2o9Wbhx5pA Service - Without being greeted, you walked up to the order counter, looked up at the menu located on the wall behind it, placed your order, immediately given a drink or drink cup if you ordered one as well as an order number, paid, and then seated yourself until your number was called. You gathered your own salsa, sauces and vegetables at a separate condiment bar as well as your own napkins and silverware. In about 15 minutes your ordered arrived freshly prepared at your table. Once you're done, you either left your dishes on the table or kindly threw away any trash yourself. Parking (Free) - Located in the Indian Springs Plaza outdoor shopping center, they shared a relatively large parking lot with a Vons, CVS and other smaller businesses. They had several spots directly in front of the restaurant. Just in case, there was some street parking along the main drag of Verdugo Blvd., but this shouldn't be necessary. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Plenty of wooden tables decorated with colorful Mexican tiles and chairs, this long and narrow layout was kind of crammed http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=H7YPy1_owUHlcEn_2UiktA. On the walls were lovely framed paintings and pictures that added a splash http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=rctRWdHhB1YayCZBeOX9tQ. Easy access to the refillable drink machine and salsa bar, and there was a small nook at the front with two arcade games. Natural lighting shown through the front glass doors and windows. Otherwise, bright electric lighting hung from the ceiling. There were two TVs but no background music. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, the return to Tortas Mexico was only good. The prices were very good and issues I had with the drinks and food can easily be remedied. The service was a tad slow. They appeared to have a decent happy hour and lunch specials. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $31.00 BEFORE discounts and tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 3.0 STARS read more

Visited 4/15/16 Drove by it multiple times, but never went until I purchased a Groupon. Several places to sit inside. Not to nice looking. I can't remember what we ordered on our first visit, but it was okay enough that I knew I would return if I REALLY wanted to eat Mexican food. On my 2nd visit, I used my FiveStars to get free leche flan. It was also okay. Can't complain much when it's free. 3rd visit, I used my FiveStars again to get something free. The tamarind drink was good. The taco wasn't bad. Loved the chips. They have different levels of hot sauce you can pack up to go. Be careful though. The tops did not close very well. Will I go back? As long as I keep getting free stuff from FiveStars!! read more

May 5th, Tortas Mexico Yelp Review These people swarming your doors were starving. All they came for was food and buckets of beer. It was the day to remember the head honchos of yesterday and to tip heads back to laugh a battle cry in their honor. But you heard the phone ring one too many times, and you became selfish and greedy to net in all the schools of home schooling fish, you saw a loss of choice on everyone's faces and peeled the dollars out from their thin lined pockets and made everyone wait, standing under a sky, pink, turning purple against the ugly veil of Tuesday nights settling blanket of smog. My family was promised something that did not really stand a chance of existence. You waved us over from the plaza neon signage and we followed to find a flock of seagulls nipping their hungry beaks through their own face masks and wondering why you could not wear one the same. Not even a visit from the local police department could rattle you out from the headlights that you seemed to stand before like a deer bursting free from darkened forests to cross a major road. So we did our best imitation of the French, and drove away into the night without food, without our bucket of beer. We drove in small circles in hopes of foraging food from elsewhere. But we had been defeated. This is what happens when you wake to the day of a major celebration that your cuisine honors, but you lose the ability to control the parade, and all hell breaks loose. . . . . read more

Really wish the name of the restaurant meant their signature item was delicious. Torta was sadly bland and flavorless (chicken). The sauces were 90% water read more

Great fish and carnitas tacos, burritos supreme, tortas, fantastic service, always on time.

Best nachos in town! And they use real cheese instead of that fake nacho cheese. Recommend this place to anyone

Had a yen for menudo and tried this place for the second time in a while. Got there just as they opened so order was fast. Service was over the top...thank you for that. Menudo was hot and good but not great. Flour tortillas were also good as were the condiments of onions, red peppers, lemon, etc. I will eat here again and encourage others to do the same. They have a large menu, parking is easy and prices are reasonable. read more

I had the machaca torta sandwich. I was a little confused because this sandwich was recommended to me and does not seem to be on the menu. The sandwich was good. Maybe a four-star for the quality of the food. It was a bit on the smaller side compared to tortas I have had in the past. For $10 I expected a little bit more. When I arrived at 9:30 in the morning they were charring tomatoes for the day, and I had to take my food to go because it was so smoky in the restaurant. Based on my first experience and the price I am on the fence. read more

This is a great quick meal for a reasonable price. The food really is excellent for fast Mexican food. Extremely authentic. You must try the sauces they are delightful. The take-home family dinner meat plus fixing Is more reasonable than any of the fast food burger places available. It's also much better tasting and I'm sure healthier. They also serve beer which is a real treat when you want Mexican food! I'll be going back regularly. I must also complement the staff they are extremely friendly and kind! read more

Food was early, portions were large and tasted amazing ! Love coming here can't wait to sit inside again. read more

Tortas Mexico - Meat Sopes - Mexican Near Me - Montrose, California

Just had a delicious breakfast burrito from Tortas Mexico. The salsas were yummy as well!

Always a crowd pleaser. Love that they have a menu also to accommodate vegans. Service is wonderful. Excellent variety.

Burritos are so huge and good. On par with the best in CA: the gas station burrito near Morro Bay. I had the al pastor "fully loaded", but flavor is so good I'll skip the guacamole next time. read more

This place has the best Cuban torta with carnitas (pork) ever! It's soft , flavorful and delicious. I go out of my way on Sundays to come here just to eat it on farmers market day at Montrose. The staff is friendly and ambiance is casual. They have 2 patio seats outside. It's worth the visit. I also recommend the horchata. read more

Best Mexican food I've found so far in the Tujunga/La Crescenta/ LA Canada Flintridge area. Their Tortas (especially with the braised beef) are phenomenal and their papusas are a must try. Taste like someone's mom is cooking for you. read more

Huge thank you to my friends at Tortas Mexico in Montrose. You guys were overwhelmed with orders on Cinco de Mayo but you still pulled it off!! Great job and great food!! read more

What a great find for those living in the mountains of Glendale where there is a lack of good tasting Mexican food. We ordered a carnitas burrito (wet), chicken tostada and kids cheese quesadilla meal which comes with rice and beans. All of this set us back $20, not too shabby! When the food arrived, I must admit we were both wow'd with the presentation. The burrito was huge, the tostada looked amazeballs and the kids meal looked as big as an adult dinner. Now the taste. All of the food tasted really good! I wish my burrito had a little more salsa in it, but other than that, all of our plates were cleaned off. The service here was also amazing. One of the guys working there heard the wifey and I talking about sitting outside, and he took it upon himself to make sure the tables were clean and that there were 4 seats ready for us. We never would have expected this kind of service at a restaurant located next to a Von's! Go get some bueno comida for bueno dinero! Cheers! read more

The food is very good with good taste, my family and I used to go there and buy pupusas and the family pack but not anymore we're sad, the old guy always give a bad service, he doesn't respect the customers and if you don't give a tip is so mean to you, why I have to give a tip to him if taking to go the food? The last time I went I bought 9 pupusas and he didn't give us the salsa and the vegetables I noticed until I got home, I call them and they said is close already, I told them about the situation and they said come tomorrow morning the Owner will be here , the next day I went and he didn't come so the workers ask me for my phone number and they said the owner is going to call me but he never, this happened around 3 months ago, still waiting for his call. That's why I give only two stars, read more

After working up an appetite at Descanso Gardens, we decided to grab a bite. (4 1/2 stars cause the drinks were gross) I loved this place even though I'm far from being an expert of Mexican food, so take it how you will. First came the chips with two different sauces. The chips were decent and the only thing I didn't like about the sauces... was that they could have used a bit of an extra kick. However, whatever that green sauce was, it was refreshing, tangy, and extremely flavorful. I was planning on drinking some of it when no one was looking.... The pictures of the juices looked great so we decided to try them. I got the Pura Dieta (Pure Diet) and my friend got Mango Luciados (blended fruit with milk). Pura Dieta was a blend of pineapples, carrots, beets and celery. The celery completely overwhelmed everything else in this drink, so as you can imagine... it was gross. I guess anything with the word Diet in it... should be considered to be nasty. My friend liked the mango drink, but I thought it was too sweet. Oh well... the food made up for it. My friend got the Taco Combo - $6.95 (choice of two large or three small tacos, your choice of meat: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5AMICDq7j1w6yVc8XXXLEA?select=GLjwkVxNIkmjRgw3DblYzw) and I got Enchiladas - $6.95. I knew she wasn't going to finish all her tacos so my strategy was to try all of them and not give her any of my Enchiladas. Each taco had two soft tortillas, so we made 6 small tacos. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5AMICDq7j1w6yVc8XXXLEA?select=dLH839zy0iNwG0dgVWlJCg One was with Baja Shrimp (breaded shrimp) and salsa, another was with Grilled Chicken Breast and the last one had Shredded Beef. The shrimp was ok, but not for me. The grilled chicken was incredible, as was the shredded beef!! They definitely didn't skimp on the toppings. Regarding the enchiladas, I got the Estilo Suizo with pork. Also known as pork enchiladas covered in that delicious green salsa I talked about earlier. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5AMICDq7j1w6yVc8XXXLEA?select=1cjfIUrUEHxjLbvORvfcwg The pork was succulent and went great with the salsa. I'm drooling as I'm writing this. Definitely worth a visit. The service was outstanding, the food was phenomenal, the prices were reasonable (I guess...), just the drinks sucked. And I found a closer location (Studio City) so hopefully this chain restaurant won't disappoint at different locations. Also I'll try the Tortas next time. :D read more
