The best spot in town. tried this place after living in town for 6 years. Looks like we found a new place. We order (Cuban, Califas and turkey) A torta is more than just a Mexican version of a beefed-up sandwich. it is an entirely different species. A good torta is usually available anywhere that a good taco.

Updating my review and dropping them from 5 stars to 1 because on monday my husband stop by and ordered a torta and specifically asked to put the spicy sauce on the side well apparently they didn't care and still added the spicy sauce inside the torta! Very unpleasant and wasn't able to eat it. They even gave us the spicy sauce on the side to fool us, Just awful Omg best tortas in town!! Let me start by saying very clean,sanitized and super fresh inside to eat,now the food omg so fresh and delicious i ordered the molcajete torta it has a spicy sauce but not too spicy and the cochinita torta was my favorite everything was made right. I accompanied with a agua fresca of cucumber lime. Now it was a bit pricy but worth the meal its about 13 dollars and up each torta plus it comes with a very tiny side,and drinks are separate so for one meal it was about 20 dollars ,my total for 3 tortas and 2 drinks was 60 dollars.

I use to really like this place but the prices have significantly gone up. I paid $19 for a salad with no chicken. I understand that every business has been charging extra due to inflation but I feel that the price doesn't match the quality and quantity of food that you get. If you want to support small business there is Wendy's tortas and the heights in Lincoln heights that serve really good sandwiches for less than 15 bucks. I really hope they would consider adjusting their prices.

Coworkers told me about this and it’s 3rd time going there, still fresh and delicious sandwiches - Carne asada, chicken and grilled veg. also strawberry guava drinks, potato salad side

Definitely not traditional tortas by any means. They use a thicker form of bread that makes it more like an American sandwich. We ordered the carne asada tortas. It came with a side in a tiny cup. I'm not a huge fan of this type of bread as my tortas yet, especially since the meat was a bit dry. But I will give it another shot since they seem to have a good amount of positive reviews. Maybe I'll try one of their more popular flavors that's a bit more saucy next time. We also ordered grandma's corn cake and was pretty good. It's really thick and decadent, but still pays a good homage to traditional corn cake.

Looking for some really good gourmet tortas? Make sure to check this joint out and if you can’t decide which torta to get, then hopefully this helps out. I tried the shrimp po’ boy torta and it was our favorite one. The sauce and the condiments really compliments the torta. The second one we both enjoyed was the milanesa torta. The milanesa is nice and tender and cooked really good. Make sure to try the torta cubana which is really filling and the carne asada one. Their macaroni salad and potato salad that comes with the sides are also delicious.

This place is my best place to come when I am craving a delicious torta. Supper delicious! Love the food here. Be warned it can be addictive! The milanesa has been one of my favorite tortas. 😋

Amazing sandwiches. Loved the taste and the fresh sourdough bread

This place is so good. I got the #666 sandwich and it was sooooo good. I honestly can't wait to go back and try another one. They have so many to choose from and all sounded delicious. Back to the sandwich I ordered. It was a bit spicy since it has habanero, but I can handle heat. It was okay spicy for me, but could be spicy for people with low tolerance. The chicken was juicy and had a great flavor. We were a party of 4 and everyone enjoyed what they ordered as well. I had the macaroni salad as my side and it was tasty. I would definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Love their tortas, first time here and will definitely come back! Amazing customer service! We got the Al Pastor and BBQ Pulled Pork Tortas.

The ultimate Mexican sandwich that never fails to satisfy my taste but when it comes to lunch. My favorite is the Bombero with side fruit salad. It's one of my favorite place in Monterey Park.

This place always hits the spot. Bomb tortas but a little pricey. Got the Diabla and damn it was hot. Not spicy but hot hot. Still fire tho. Ate it up. My friend got one with pork. Don't know the name but she said it was a 10 for 10. See pic. Also gave it a four star because the sides are not that great. My opinion tho.

Great time at Cooks Tortas! The bake all their bread there that day and it shows. Super soft warm bread. Each sandwich was yummy. My favorite was the ropa vieja. I also tried the white fish and the chicken mole verde. All are good. They have tons of options for sandwiches Some very good sides as well with different fruits mixtures. The baked good are litttt. Those are made fresh daily obviously. Service is very kind Outdoor seating available too!

Inconsistent. First time I came here was around 3 months ago. I had heard that their Cochinita Pibil torta was good. This day the owner was there and I was able to try it before purchasing. It was amazing so much so that my aunt actually bought one to go besides the one she had eaten there. Now 3 months later I go back and what a disappointment it didn't taste the same. Honestly was not worth the $14.75 it costs. It had more beans than meat and tasted like it was carne adobada not Pibil. The Sweet Potato fries though are bomb. They are cripsy and taste so good. I truly recommend these. Maybe next time I'll try another torta and see how it is then.

Cooks is amazing! They bake their own breads and pastries, ingredients are super fresh. I love the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. Staff was super friendly. Big selection and lots to choose from. Everything was very flavorful , prepared well and was picturesque. It gets busy durring lunch rush but then line moves quickly. Lots of restaurant seating and a small patio as well.

Best tortas!! We are from out of town and make an effort to stop by every time we visit LA. The tortas are all very tasty and unique, we recommend (if you are with 2 people) each ordering your own and exchanging half the torta to get the best tasting experience 😊

The food is good if you can actually get it. They offer curbside pickup and even have a sign outside but then when you get there they are rude on the phone saying that they aren’t going to walk the 10 steps to curbside like they promote. Then they say they don’t know the owner or managers name when you ask for it. Then when you do go in to pickup the food (that is ready and paid for online) they have you wait in a line and ignore you. Good luck if you go to Cook’s!

The foods great, the service is great, they even bring your order to your table. The perfect little place to grab a bite. They also have some really good spicy options if you love spicy food like I do.

Not your average torta, just look at their extensive menu on the wall. Customer service is great. They bake their own bread and Aguas frescas. If you are going during lunch hour call ahead because it gets very busy. I'll leave you with some of their sweet delights.

Good tortas. Not your traditional tortas that you're probably used to. But they are good. But the varied selection will persuade you to try it. I get the molcajete torta, forgot what item number it is, one of my favorites. They use like a chibatta type of bread. But the meat is good and freshly made. They also have daily made aquas frescas. They do have some pastries as well. You will get a side with your torta. Just as a heads up, it can be a bit pricey, more that probably any other tortas place you go to. But now a days, everything seems to be pricey. I pay around $15- $20 w/ drink. Give it a try though, bet you won't go just once.

Their Mexican salad here is amazing. Shrimp po'boy is out of this world as well.

I think everyone in my group got a different sandwich, and everyone loved what they got. Lots of tasty sides too; various fruits, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato fries. They offer a lot of tasty beverages too; fountain drinks, but also bottles of Topo Chico and Mexican Coke, and also fresh brewed lemonades and fruit juices. But my favorite were the desserts: Cook's Tortas had BIG cookies the size of a saucer, fresh baked. They had chocolate chips and pecans, and every bite was nutty and scrumptious. Seriously some of the best cookies I've had in a long time; people at the table were talking about attempting to make our own. I highly recommend this place; there is something for everyone, and it's all good.
