    Authentic, no fuss Mexican food. They've got yummy tortas (steak sandwiches) as the name implies but also burritos, tacos, and an array of other Mexican treats. The homemade salsa is delish and just like mom made. (Well, my mom anyway.) Great, friendly service to boot. Give this place a shot!

    Pretty bad experience all around. I feel like theyre so much in a rush that they don't even pay any attention or care about the product that they are actually delivering. I specifically asked for a burrito and nothing was in it that I asked for. Was pretty terrible. It taste of the food wasn't so good and it's totally not worth it.

    Authentic Mexican food that was just delicious! We ordered The chorizo tortas, Cubana tortas, chicken tamales and beef Taquitos all of which where well spiced and very tasty. The tortas which is like a Mexican sandwich is done using bread that’s baked daily, and came out beautifully crisp on the outside and soft from the inside. The tamales was excellent. Their sauces are a must try and both the mild and spicy sauces were very flavorful. The place is a small, family owned location and feels very Mexican and is clean. The owner was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. If you’re looking for a family owned, authentic Mexican place…this is it!

    A small place in old town but not as I expected. I was hoping for more authentic taste but I had the worst wet burrito. Found 2 hairs in burrito that affected my appetite. Nachos were alright and the staff was welcoming so 2* for that.

    Wow the Tortas here are very good! I was really impressed with the quality of the food. Very nice little Mexican restaurant. Indoor & outdoor seating. The owner made a great recommendation and ordered the Milanesa torta. So good 👍

    Lovely food counter run by a warm and friendly family. The food is delicious (especially the carne asada torta according to the guests I've brought here). Very small indoor eating option, but there are picnic tables in the courtyard outside.

    Tortas Mexico catered my wedding for a very reasonable price compared to other places I looked into. Our wedding guests all loved the food, especially the potato tacos and the horchata! The folks at Tortas Mexico were so kind and accommodating in working with us to create a menu that worked for all our guests' dietary needs/preferences, and in managing logistics at our rugged, difficult-to-access venue. We hugely appreciate them coming through for us. Wonderful people, wonderful food!

    Small place but huge flavor! My friend had the Cuban Torta and said it was one of the best he's eaten. I tried the Mole Enchaladas and it was so good! Very nice place, great people and fantastic food!

    This small restaurant is a hidden gem in Pasadena that is ran with love and you can tell by the taste of the food which is consistently good everytime and the dine in experience is always good as they are very friendly and the service is amazing.

  • 4/5 Brenda R. 10 months ago on Google
    I think the amount of food we got was good for what we paid. It wasn't bad food, it just seemed like it didn't have much flavor. The carne al pastor was definitely disappointing according to my husband. I hope other things on the menu are better.

  • 5/5 Christian P. 10 months ago on Google
    It seems obvious but order a torta. They are some of the best I've ever had. Perfect balance of flavors! There's also a back courtyard to eat your food.

  • 1/5 Parikshit S. 1 year ago on Google
    Soggy tortas, red sauce tasted weird and enchilada weren’t upto the mark. Overpriced as well, doesn’t even provide proper forks to eat with? I’d avoid for sure

    Didn’t enjoy what I got at all. Asked for what was recommended.

    Checked out this spot on a whim after visiting Norton Simon Museum, what a wonderful spot with delicious food and friendly employees. I got Tacos de Papa (golden-fried potato tacos) and they we hot and fresh with cotija cheese and sauce. My friend got chicken tacos with salsa verde and he loved every bite. I can’t wait to go back to try more of their food. Don’t sleep on this lovely Mexican spot in the heart of Old Town Pasadena

    I ordered a chicken torta but it is not a torta it was a sandwich it does not have enough chicken or beans or avocado the chicken has no flavor at all and the price is almost $12 it is not worth it very expensive…..a jersey mike sandwich is better and more cheap
