Description

Had Steve Ells found his inspiration for Chipotle in Guadalajara rather than San Francisco's Mission District, the result might have been Las Tortas. Instead, this awesome spot is the brain-baby of Guillermo Campillo and Tymen Schrueder (of Rincon del Sol in Boulder), and it sells nothing but tortas -- about two dozen varieties, from the simplest steak-and-chicken Jalisco to the most bizarrely overpowering La Macha with steak Milanesa, chorizo, chile, a fried egg and a hot dog crammed on a roll.

    Las Tortas sells tortas and nothing but tortas — about two dozen varieties, from the simplest steak-and-chicken Jalisco to the most bizarrely overpowering La Macha, with steak Milanesa, chorizo, chile, a fried egg and a hot dog crammed together on a roll. There's a counter on one side where you order and pick up, a few high-top tables on the other, a cooler with Mexican Coke and beer by the bottle, and a couple of TVs hanging from the ceiling playing telenovelas and VideoRola. The joint is simple and spare and unbelievably awesome. And the best thing about it? No torta will run you more than eight dollars, and even that price is only for las especiales. The bulk of the items on the menu can be had for six or seven bucks, and just one of the tortas at Las Tortas is plenty big enough to make a meal for any big hungry boy.

    These Tortas are scrumptiously delicious. Bring your appetite, as they are filling. I love the freshly-cooked meats and watching everything put together right in front of you. Good atmosphere with modern latino music. Owner is usually there and is so friendly and knowledgeable. Just had a margarita there this week - no holding back on the true alcohol mix there! Yum! They're putting these on special for happy hour too. Try it out, one yummy vote from me. See you there at happy hour!
