Opened in February 2016 with the idea of bringing truly authentic Mexican Tortas to Pasadena!

As you may know, Mexico is popular for many things. If you drive down any street in Mexico City you will find that 3 things cover the streets: Taxi Cabs, Taco Stands and Torta Stands!

A Torta is a sandwich served on an oval-shaped roll, called Telera. Tortas can be served cold or hot, grilled or toasted and garnishes include, avocado, different types of Mexican Cheeses, Jalapeños, Tomatoes, and Onions. Tortas will typically have a refried beans smothered on one of the breads and then complemented with the client’s choice of meat(s).
