Los Reyes De La Torta

After studying the Unilocal reviews, we were determined to give this place a try. It took a little bravery as the place is kind of out of the way, at the end of a strip mall in a neighborhood that could never be described as upscale. We were not disappointed!!! The food was phenomenal, the service attentive, the restaurant spotlessly clean, the prices reasonable, and even the ladies’ room was well decorated. I had one of the tortas and my husband had one of the burros. It was fantastic!!!

I went here just because of Man Vs Food. And they really did live up to what I saw on the show. The food was flavorful and just great! Very filling too. The next time I’m nearby it is a must stop and gorge.

Totally not what I was expecting but wow! So much flavor packed into my sandwich. This is one of my husband’s favorite lunch spots. We will certainly be going back. I had leftovers and they were even good cold from the fridge he next day!

My husband and I ate here for the first time with some friends on a Saturday night. The restaurant is very busy. Man vs. Food came here to film an episode a few years back. I ordered shrimp tacos (Tacos de Camaron) and my husband ordered the Torta Del Rey (Mexican Sandwich) for which this restaurant is known for. We ordered ice tea and for dessert we ordered the flan. Every dish was excellent, prepared with the freshest ingredients. The portions were the right size and every bite was tasty.
The service was very excellent and the waitress was friendly. Our table was cleared quickly and our ice tea was always kept refilled.
I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for healthy and fresh Mexican food.

One of the BEST tortas I’ve ever had in my life.
Deliciously fresh food, decent portions and great service in a very authentic joynt with great service provided by so many lovely latinas. Get there before noon if you’re going for lunch, else after 2pm. Oh, and don’t forget to wash it all down with some refreshing horchata.
So looking forward to going back. Next time I won’t be splitting my torta with anybody, así que no mames güey!

Great friendly service & fresh food. Been here multiple times and will continue to come back. Great menu

It was ok, so many varieties! Many tortas options for sure! I’d like to try something else on the menu. It was good but nothing spectacular!

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. This place is off the chain good. Came here with my boyfriend this past Sunday afternoon after seeing all of the awesome Unilocal reviews and it did not disappoint. The place was PACKED and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. No biggie. I’ll wait for good food. We were seated and ordered two agua frescas (one strawberry (for him) and a watermelon (for me)) along with two of their famous tortas. About 20 minutes later our drinks and food came out together. I wish the drinks came out sooner (I was thirsty), but again, the place was packed and the boyfriend and I were engaged in conversation anyway.
Tortas? Bomb! Agua Frescas? Bomb! Definitely a fork and knife kind of sandwich (it’s huge!). I preferred my watermelon agua fresca to his strawberry, but they were both yumm-​o. The boyfriend couldn’t say enough good things about his torta (he’d never had one) and I was so pleased to know that I had found the amazing Mexican restaurant I had been searching for since relocating to Phoenix in July. I’m still perplexed as to why there is such a lack of decent Mexican food here!
The menu is diverse and carries many other items besides tortas so check it out. Also, Adam Richman from Man vs Food came here to film a food challenge episode. You’ll immediately know by the wall sized photos of him strewn throughout the restaurant. Bring your peeps and an appetite and you won’t leave hungry or disappointed. I can’t wait to come back and try more stuff!

Thanks to this place I am always down for tortas. Deeply in love with la norteña de res. Aaaahhh.
Service is always nice, food gets done quick.
Shrimp ceviche tostadas are on point.

I had friends in town and they had seen this place on Man Vs. Food and were dying to go. I have to admit I hadn’t seen that episode, so this place wasn’t on my radar at all. It’s located in a little shopping center and you couldn’t tell from the outside, but it was packed and this was just before 11am!
The food looked and smelled amazing as we were seated. My girlfriend and I went for the quesadilla’s because frankly everything else looked so HUGE! Her husband got the sandwich that was mentioned on Man Vs. Food — La Reyna, and it looked and smelled awesome! It was massive but he finished every bite (and didn’t eat for the rest of the day).
The staff was friendly and the food was good and fast! I will definitely have to bring the Hubby here!

I am going to repeat the EXACT words used when I took my first bite of food… Stupid Good. Yes that is the best I could pull out my expansive vocabulary. This is, quite literally the best Mexican food I have had in my life. I mean, most of the patrons of this fine establishment are Hispanic. I always say, if the patrons of a restaurant match the ethnicity of the cuisine, EAT THERE! The last thing I want to see in an Asian or Mexican or Thai restaurant is all white folk!
I have been here several times, and nothing is bad. Even their home made juices are amazing. I constantly find myself ordering the V8. I also love the Chorizo Fundito and the Massa Quesadilla is SOOOO GOOOD!

This place is consistently great. I’ve brought many people here, and I’ve always loved it. I’m not even a big fan of Mexican food, but man I love the Ranchera steak torta. Just thinking about it is giving me cravings.
You won’t find tortas like this anywhere else. Since eating here, I’ve started looking for tortas at other places and I’m always disappointed that they’re either not there or they’re terrible in comparison.

This place never disappoints. We branched out, but stayed with the mini-​ceviche tostadas (can’t miss those) for apps. Can’t remember what the GF had (some torta — which is unlike her) and I had the pork belly street tacos. In addition to the Valentina’s sauce on the table, there was some other one made with chiltepin peppers. EXCELLENT and actually non-​gringoized.
I’ll admit, I didn’t finish the 3^rd pork belly taco. It just wasn’t crisp enough for me (the meat not the shell), but it was tender. The texture just wasn’t suiting me at that moment in time. I think the contrast of the crispness and citrusy flavors of the ceviche was just too much for me to take in on that day. Sometimes you like black and white, other times, you want muted pastels, ya know what I mean? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t their fault — so my song remains the same 5 stars.
This place rocks. Staff is fantastic, food is good, and I was intro’ed to a new bottled hot sauce… which I don’t remember the name of but theres a pic of it on GF’s phone. I’ll add it later.
P. s. As many ppl have noted, the tortas are a bit on the large side. They offer mini versions of most (if not all). That’s the way to go if you order apps or just aren’t into eating a pound of meat.

What? I was so shocked by my experience here! I feel like I was told that I won a new Audi R8 and went down to the dealership and was given a 1986 Club Car Golf Cart. Have my tastebuds died from all of my martini nights? Don’t I know Mexican food? My foodie confidence has taken a massive hit. Do I start at Taco Bell and work my way back to the Big Leagues? Damn you Los Reyes! I thought I should write down how I felt about my torta to start my process back.
Dear Carne Asada, you were treated with such disrespect and were left without flavor and Mexican flare! I was so looking forward to meeting you and seeing why so many loved you. Carne Asada, you’re like all those girls in SoCal with the fake boobs and lips. Such a disappointment to find out! The one saving grace you have is your roll, but that roll only hides what you lack inside. Empty and souless!
Where do I go now? Where are the real Carne Asada’s out there? Do I need to go south of the border? I know my perfect Carne Asada Torta is out there. Juicy, flavorful and every bit tasty! I’m going to keep looking, but I won’t be fooled by Los Reyes again.

Came here for lunch.
Got the smothered carne asada burrito and the pork belly street tacos. Both were really good. The portions are generous, the food is cheap and the place was much cleaner than I expected it to be.
Would come back and try some of the other stuff… the Tortas looked awesome (and huge).

I have been coming to Los Reyes de la Torta for a couple of years with my coworkers for lunch and I have enjoyed every meal. Their menu is huge with many different variations of burritos, quesadillas, tacos and much more.
I typically get a burrito that comes with steak, jalapeños, beans, onions and I ask for no avocado or cilantro. They have always been flavorful, hot, fresh and a bit spicy.
My co-​workers get the quesadillas, other burritos and taco and they have always enjoyed their food.
They are always on point with flavor, consistency, service and even during lunch you can find a table or two.
I look forward to next time.

If there were only 5 Mexican Restaurants I could eat in Phoenix. I would put Marisco’s Playa Hermosa number 1, and Los Reyes prolly 4^th or 5^th. This place is good. They have a variety of Torta’s and a others such as tacos, burritos, etc. My girlfriend and I shared the Torta Del Rey and some other dish she ordered. Overall pretty good, I would come back if I’m in the area.

Found this on Unilocal!Thank you!
Great food. Ordered the guac, a Torta mini, and a burro. Yum

This locally owned family restaurant serves up very authentic mexican food.
They are famous for their tortas and in particular the «Del Rey» which consists of — Ham, melted cheese, pork sirloin, breaded beef, sausage, chorizo and eggs with tomato, onions, jalapeño and avocado. This beast is about 8 inches tall and can barely bite into it. All the different items blend well with each other for $ 8.99
The Del Rey was featured in Man vs Food and is the staple but other items are very good also.
King Carlos V is the double version of the Del Rey and is brought out on a pallet for $ 19.99.
The tacos and burritos are also tasty and you will not leave feeling hungry.
We also have had the Mexican drinks aqua fresca which comes in a variety of flavors and which you can’t go wrong.
But if you go here the tortas are what you come here for.

Living near East Side San Jose in California, I have high expectations when it comes to Tortas and Mexican food for that matter.
However, I feel that Los Reyes rides on their fame of Man vs Food albiet their torta portions are massive. Nothing here was spectacular to me.
I ordered the Del Rey Torta, from the rave reviews and I do tend to get signature items from restaurants since it should be a representation of who they are. Along with the torta I ordered a horchata.
The Del Rey is a massive torta that easily feeds 2, a half for each person. It comes with a side of chips and in the torta itself it has: avocado, pickled onions, tomato, egg encasing chorizo, hotdog, then cheese, brisket, and fried steak. Bread barely held every thing in and was a huge mess.
The torta had lots of textures, flavor wasn’t as flavorful and didn’t seem to be cohesive. It was just a lot of meat, cooked different ways in between two slices of bread. The chorizo didn’t have that lovely red color nor heat to it.
The horchata was plain chalky, powdering and doused in cinnamon powder on top.
I packed half of my torta home since I couldn’t finish my meal, but didn’t even end up eating it afterwards. I didn’t finish my horchata.
Service is decent. Typical of a family run restaurant, casual but timely. Pricing was okay for what it was, though I would get Mexican food elsewhere.
