Tortas Y Mas

Kinda hard to find, but damn good!
Try the chile relleno burrito, never seen one before in all my time in Mexico.

We drive pass this place at least 5x a week. We were wanting something tasty, inexpensive and nearby. Hubs wanted a steak sandwich. So I remembered this place. Glad we finally tried it after being in EP for 3 yrs… wish we came sooner.
I had the machaca burrito and my husband had the steak strips torta. Both yummy. Oh and we ordered the twins a cheese quesadilla, which they weren’t interested in because they were busy gulping down the maui smoothie. Whatever, we ate the quesadilla, that was tasty too.
Would like to come back and try more… I’m thinking the chile relleno burrito… mmmmm!!!

Best tortas I’ve found. I love the crispy bread and avocado spread. The aguas frescas are good too. Good place to come in and practice some Spanish if you’re trying to learn the language!

Best Tortas I’ve had so far in El Paso. They are little bit thin but really good. They add avocados to their Tortas, God knows how much I love avocado. They also have really good aguas frescas. If you are on budget this is place to come and get a quick lunch. They are fast, friendly and efficient. I think I found my new lunch spot. :) oh! And there’s lots of parking I think that’s a plus, but then again I’m in El Paso, there’s parking everywhere. Lol! I forget that I’m not LA anymore ;(I highly recommend it! :)

Delicious Tortas, quaint & refreshing :) love their drink varieties as well. Good service too :)

Tortas were delicious. The most authentic tortas so far. Colitas de Pavo. Milanese and the steak and ham were yummy. The aguas frescas were not fake packaged mix. Great place to get a quick bite. Next time I’m trying the flautas and burritos.

Beautiful little hole in the wall. Great service and even better food. Definitely a ray light in the black hole of hell paso.

burritos were amazing and the aquas were delicious and fresh not that packet stuff and the torta ranchero is bomb and the fries arnt hand cut but are fresh always burns my mouth and the fresh salsas they make are the cherry on top of the torta

This is a quaint little whole in the wall, mom & pop restaurant. They make great, delicious food here at an incredibly cheap price. It is simple comfort Mexican food made by nice people who know what they are doing. The first time I went here it waste because my friend wanted some horchata and I just couldn’t bare going to Taco Cabana like he wanted. We asked a local at the Tmobile spot and she mentioned this place. We both ended up ordering a couple of burritos as well. We both got a barbacoa and bistek en salsa, (the name they had was a little different, but that’s basically what it means). The barbacoa is tasty and not too salty or too greasy. They grill the barbacoa a little I imagine to heat it up and it gives it a some crispness that removes some of the grease. The bistek taco was bursting with meat, tomatoes and peppers and had a very good kick to it. Both burritos were on great tasting, soft flour tortillas that were definitely freshly homemade and they definitely do not skimp on the filling. At the back of the small restaurant they have a couple of plastic containers on ice with green and red salsa that are must have on additions. You are free to take some to your table in little condiment cups. They both have a kick, so make sure you sample taste them before pouring it on your grub.
The first time I was there, I decided to ask the owner about the lack of refried beans on tortas in El Paso. I am from south Texas and our tortas have refried beans as a staple. He commented that beans were not standard here, but quickly informed me that putting them on was no problem. I liked that. I had gotten a weird look elsewhere for even asking the darn question. He even said he would put them on my burritos if I wanted. I declined that time, but on my 2^nd trip I ordered them with beans and he didn’t even bat an eye. Today I had the barbacoa torta with added green chili, cheese and of course refried beans. The lady who took our order did so quickly and again, I was very happy to not have her think it wierd that I wanted beans on it. The lady came out to the line to take orders back to the kitchen so that by the time we reached the register our food was already underway. Very cool!
My opinion on the torta? Deliciousness in between two soft pieces of fresh bread. As mentioned, I had the barbacoa and it was as good as I remember it from the burritos. The bread is huge and definitely fresh, with a slight toast to it. Their tortas come with mayo, lettuce, tomato and avocado. My buddy had the milanesa, ham and cheese one and he was very happy with it proclaiming, «that was probably the best sandwich I’ve had since I got to El Paso». I must say he is right. I’ve tried their agua de melon and their piña (pineapple) one too. Both are great, but melon is my favorite. Aguas are fresh squeezed/​pureed juices that are way better than sodas in my opinion and are also a staple of Mexican vendors and restaurants. All in all, I totally enjoy going to eat at this place. It’s homely, cheap and most importantly, delicious!
