    The tortas here are amazing with soft bread and flavorful fillings, way better than the ones I’ve had elsewhere. I’ve also tried their burritos, tacos, flautas, rice and beans and everything has been delicious. The service is quick, the dining room gets busy at lunch and I usually call ahead to pick up my order.

    Best sandwich in town. This place needs to be featured on diners drive ins and dives. It’s really that good. The carne asada torta is my go to favorite. The bread is made fresh every day which really sets them apart from other torta places around town. The carne asada is always really good quality no grissle or fat. Fresh avacado sliced on top. If you haven’t had this. You gotta try it.

    Really good place to get a torta. Service was fast, got one with fries and the lady got one with rice and beans. The food was delicious and the prices are extremely fair for the big portions. I got the asada one. The meat was succulent, I was picking up the pieces falling out of the bun to enjoy every single one. She got the pulled pork torta and loved it. Quickly became our new go-to place.

    Mexican food is not even my favorite food, but this place is next level. The rib eye tacos, carne asada torta and fries are all amazing. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Arizona!!

    I heard so much about this place and it didn't let me down. The tortas were stacked up well and didn't fall apart. I had the cochinita pibil. The bread was toasty and substantial.

    The only thing better than the food here is the staff! And hands down the best bean & cheese burrito in the valley! And those tortas…oh my gosh are they delish!
