I ordered food for pick up from here. I ordered a combination meal- Al Pastor, beans, and rice. The food was okay and have a really good portion for the price. I do however have to say that their Al Pastor is missing some flavor. The Al Pastor looked like Barbacoa meat and there were just huge chunks and a few were that were just shredded meat. I'll have to come and try it again. So far, for me, it was okay. My co workers however got the Tortas and said it slapped. So maybe I'll just have to try other things in the menu. read more

The worse food I ever had I got a chile relleno burrito and a carne pastor burrito for my coworker, first they wrote chile relleno on the wrong burrito so my coworker ate the wrong burrito second of all the apastor burrito was Carnitas, third the burritos were disgusting, fourth the prices $36 for two burritos.... NEVER again read more

Had a asada quesadilla it was excellent! Good food, nice clean place in a good part of town!

This has been my favorite place to eat at while being in LA. Coming from San Diego I have relatively high expectations for quality Mexican food and I saw this definitely has not disappointed me. The food has great flavor to it and can be customized to your preferences and liking. The people working here are so kind and quick with the orders and it is located in a prime spot. The pricing is also extremely reasonable! read more

Tortas Mexico - Quesatacos (4) - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

What I got: I come here pretty regularly for lunch and I e tried a few things on the menu, but my favorite are the chicken taquitos! They come with rice and beans and it's really delicious! I also get the flan which is more of a pudding/jello but it's delicious and refreshing in a hot day! They also make their own agua frescas! The cucumber one is my favorite! How was it: I enjoy this place because they cook everything to order! They have quality ingredients and they are authentic! Also they orders come out pretty quickly! Service: They are great! You can even call your order ahead, which is recommended during lunch time! Price: Very reasonable especially considering the portion sizes! Parking: There is metered parking on Holly just right around the corner from Fair Oaks. Overall: I would highly recommend this place! read more

Good chilaquiles. Pretty 'meh' customer service. While I enjoyed my breakfast (as my car was getting detailed), the place certainly didn't really have a vibe or a personality. I'd go back... for takeout. It's not really anything special as far as a space to spend time for a meal. read more

Tortas Mexico - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm a huge fan of Mexican food, and these are the best tortas I've ever had! They are reasonably priced and huge-- one torta is two meals for me. In addition, this is a family owned and run business, and it's clear that this family takes such pride in their work. Truly the sweetest people, and they are so happy to serve their guests. Esteban was especially kind. Amazing food. I'll be back again and again. Pro tip for new visitors: Try the Cubano torta! read more

This is the second time I come here and the service is great! They serve you a really good size plate of authentic Mexican food. All of their agua frescas are made in house and not through a fountain. I had the horchata and it was perfect. Not too sweet! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Tortas Mexico - Chilaquiles Rojos! - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

Outstanding food and great friendly conversation with the owner. Their tortas are truly spectacular. And they can customize then as you like but please do not remove the jalapenos! They are homemade and not like the typical jar product found in many restaurants. The birria tacos were a fun addition to the meal coz who doesn't like dipping food in spicy consomme! I cannot recommend this place enough and hope folks show this small mom n pop some love! read more

Disappointed to have to leave 2 stars, I have been coming here for a while now and always enjoy the food . Somewhat authentic not the friendliest except the owner he's pretty courteous and quickly to serve you. Simple but cute it's not meant for you to stay too long . However one thing I didn't like and this is the second time I've noticed is that the lady cooking doesn't use gloves she's not the only person I've noticed that does that, last time it was the owners wife. So most likely won't be back ! It's unfortunate read more

We ordered two Tortas to go. The meat was dry and the Torta lacked flavor. Truly disappointed.

My husband and I dropped in on a whim. The food was amazing; very flavorful, the ambience was fun and the service was 5+ stars! This small business is a must visit! read more

Friendly service. Tacos de papa are pretty solid... there's a gentleman that runs the front that is really friendly. Ambiance... nothing fancy. Authentic... no... the only I don't recommend are their nachos. they are giving football game vibes. Give it a shot. read more

I ordered an Al pastor burrito and the flavor was jam packed with spice, pineapple sweetness, maybe some added sugar. I preferred it with the red sauce to up the spice level and this made a delicious lunch. Size was good for it's price. If some chips were included, it would have made me full. I would definitely come back read more

Very chill little restaurant with everything you need to dine in or take out. I just got the taquitos to go but the staff was friendly.

This is my go to for lunch for some of the guys. Highly recommend them. I usually get the lunch special. Best value.

Carnitas tacos are excellent, they're really tasty. Chicken taco is good too but tastes more poached and bland. You get red and green sauces for them. Rice is okay and beans taste slightly salty. read more

Ordered a Torta and taco salad. I ordered Al pastor for the torta and I think it was more of a carnitas style. Still very good. Well seasoned and great toppings. Will definitely be going back. read more

We stopped by on a recent trip to Pasadena with our friends and kids (4 adults, 4 kids). We enjoyed a solid lunch. Pricing was competitive for the area. I had an al pastor torta, which had good flavor, and was not too dry (something I sometimes find with tortas). There are a few indoor seats, although there was more covered outdoor patio seating in a little covered alley next door which helped accommodate our larger group (and helped with COVID safety). When the indoor area started to fill up, one of the employees made a point of propping open the door to increase airflow, which was smart and appreciated given that it was the height of omicron. The service was generally super friendly, with a very active gentleman hand-delivering our food and drinks, and bussing tables -- the service took it from a 4-start to to. read more

Tiny little spot which is easy to miss, but don't miss it because Tortas is really good! The service is very friendly, and the spot is clean and nicely decorated. What a great little find. The salsas have a great flavor and the chips are light and non-greasy. They are generous with salting the chips so if that's not your thing, ask them to cut back on the sodium. The carne asada taco comes with the tortilla lightly crisped, which adds a nice flavor. Chicken tamale comes out hot and super moist. I dined in and was given free beverage refills. What a great little spot. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by Tortas Mexico. - they're definitely worth a visit! read more

I always seem to forget about Tortas until I'm walking or driving right past it, but it like to think it's a function of the fact that the food here is so delicious that the human mind is not capable of absorbing the fact. Something along the lines of "excellence induced amnesia." In all seriousness, though, my husband and I stumbled upon this not-so-hidden gem when we lived in Old Pas, and I cannot times it enough. Tortas provides flavorful options at an amazing price point! My only complaint is that I no longer live close enough to eat there multiple times a week! Definitely the BEST tacos in Old Town Pasadena. read more

The food in the place in this location and the customer service is completely garbage. They will disregard your business. If it is to their benefit, they will not be there for the customer if they get their order wrong, or if their descriptions are incorrect to to their fault completely garbage of customer. I am not the only one that has happened to this actually happened to a few members of our party went in there and placed orders. read more

This place is so good. I loved the food and owner was very nice. The place is small, but very cool.

The potato tacos are super good and service was great ! Will be back again ! The agua de melón was refreshing read more

Ordered in the restaurant to go. Two tortas and one burrito. Waited 45 minutes at 5:30pm on a Sunday for the order. Unfortunately it was not worth the wait. Chicken tortas were awful. Meat was dry and flavorless except for a pocket or two of salt. No other flavors added. Raw onion, lettuce, tomato and a whole jalapeño thrown in. No mayonnaise or guacamole or whatever else. One of the torta buns was smooshed completely flat and grilled severely. Obviously the cook put very little effort into the order. It looked and tasted like a rush job. For us, the food was overrated and over priced. Maybe a one off, but we won't be back soon. read more

Don't skip over this unassuming place in favor for inferior options ~ The tortas are HUGE and the best I've ever eaten. I'm a bit of a basic B in that I usually go for my asada ~ but I went for the chile relleno and I don't think I'll ever order anything else. Don't alter the tortas - they are your friend. You wouldn't ask your friends to change for you, would you? I thought not. read more

Great service, great food and plenty of places to sit... we had, chorizo torta, carne asada torta, taquitos and tacos! It was so fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend! It's a bit pricey but it's understandable since they are in old town. read more

Really not sure what was going on here yesterday, but my order did not come at the quality it typically does. I ordered asada nachos, which were pooled with grease from the asada. The cheese here is never melted enough on the nachos to make a grease pool like that. The asada was obscenely salty and had a weird grainy texture. I also ordered two sopes, asada and carnitas. The sopes I've gotten here before were made with a thicker fried masa base. Yesterday's came with fried tortillas, 1 for each, so it was pretty much a broken taco, weighed down by all the toppings. The carnitas were the typical quality, but again, the asada was oversalted and the meat was grainy. Definitely made from the same batch as the nachos. I'd give 1 star for the experience, but the restaurant did give me the requested quantities of salsa this time, and also limes on the side. Also, I have not eaten the asada torta yet, which I plan to have for lunch today, so we'll see. Side note, randomly was delivered with a horchata, which I love, but hardly order with my meals here. That was a nice bonus, but after my meal it felt more like a consolation prize lol. read more

Went on a break with my fellow coworkers here and us five just about packed the quaint traditional Mexican restaurant. First thing you notice is the boom of the soccer game playing on the small, corner television set as well as the various photographs and pottery that adorn the walls. Dark wood accents surround the area as well that just provide a very light-hearted experience. Not too cold in here despite the opening and closing of the two entrances, I actually took my jacket prior to eating possibly from the warmth my meal provided. I ordered a vegetarian enchilada that took about a small talk's worth of time to get to the table. Plastic cutlery and a basic presentation on an oval, durable plastic plate. Not too much oil over the food which was a plus and the enchilada, refried beans, and spanish rice. Nothing spectacular about the food, it was exactly as I expected, and you can taste how it was prepared on the spot. The tortillas were soft, with a touch of moistness perhaps from condensation, and the vegetables inside (hints of jalapeño take up the bulk) were quite meek. But, I still finished the plate content for the next couple hours. The price point is $9.99 for the meal I chose which makes you question where you should eat as similar price points surround the downtown Pasadena area. It's really up to you if you find the price point worth it. Do you enjoy supporting mom-and-pop's for an average meal? Do you like a fast prepared lunch? I didn't mind. Ten dollars is just about pocket change when you're supporting a business operation like that, especially when they aren't taking advantage of you. read more
