Las Tortas

Tortas take all the deliciousness of Mexican fare and pile it onto soft rolls. And the tortas at Las Tortas are the most delicious of all. When ordering, newbies will be told that the Norteña, with carne asada, breaded steak and cheese, is the best seller. Like all of the standard torta options here, it comes fully loaded with mayo, avocado, tomato, lettuce and beans. But there's another type of torta on the menu that requires a fork and knife to eat: the torta ahogada, which comes loaded with juicy, flavorful carnitas and smothered in a spicy chile and tomato sauce for a messy meal reminiscent of dipping a grilled cheese sandwich in tomato soup. It's best eaten immediately, so consider dining in at Las Tortas' new, roomier spot on Colorado Boulevard, where it moved to in early 2023.
