Torta Grill

This place is really good. Loved the food! Only down side is that the cook had a very bad attitude. I don’t know if he was mad or what was the situation but his expressions/​actions said it all. I didn’t know if whether to cancel my order or not. There was also no change so the cashier I think asked him to get some or if he had some and he refused to get it, making me and the cashier wait for him to get the change. I waited about 3 to 5 minutes. I didn’t appreciate that at all. Regardless the place was really good so just keep up the good food!

Friendly, delicious, tons of food for your buck. Cucumber lemonade is fantastic. Carnitas has tons of flavor.

So freakin’ DELICIOUS! I’m back for «The Dembicki»: steak, breaded steak, pork loin, and Serrano avocado spread PLUS an earth juice. A veritable taste bud orgy! I’m going down…

Definitely one of the tastiest tortas I’ve had! I recommend checking it out and fyi, there’s parking behind it!

This place is amazing! I live in Texas and I make it a point visit the Torta Grill on each visit.
The Ivan Torta is my go to. The bread is perfectly soft yet substantial. All of the toppings are top notch.
The fruit drinks are excellent as well. They are super fresh and made upon being ordered. I’ve tried the watermelon and cucumber/​lemonade. The watermelon drink is perfectly smooth and very refreshing. I can’t wait to try others particularly pineapple and cantaloupe.
Overall this place easily earns 5 stars. Highly recommend stopping in for lunch at the Torta Grill. Best Torta I’ve ever had.

Food was delicious. Not a traditional style torta that I’m used to but the seasonings and add ons (avocado, beans, jalapeños, cheese, etc.) gave it authentic Mexican flavor. It’s a good sized sandwich for the price. Our kids loved their quesadilla. It was so big that they couldn’t finish the one they shared. We got their cucumber lemonade which was very refreshing and flavorful. This is about a 30 minute drive for us but we will definitely be going back.

Who knew you could find great Mexico City style tortas in the mile high city! Whats a torta? Its an amazing Mexican sandwich prepared on an oversize «dream» roll, stuffed with your choice of meat (pork carnitas, carne asada, chorizo, etc), and finished off with refried beans, avocados, tomatoes, and jalapenos. For those «doubters» out there, put down the grocery store prepackaged deli sandwich and drive over to Torta Grill. Your taste buds will thank you for it. This is hands down the best torta in town, and so close to downtown!
My favorite torta: The Juan or the Carlito.

Love the care they put into making unique tortas! Fresh ingredients and great seasonings make this place our «go to» when hungry. Great staff and clean place!

So so so good. Haven’t had a sandwich I don’t like yet. And the guys working in there are sooooo friendly. Will keep coming back! Make sure you grab a fresh squeezed juice too.

Really great sandwiches — fresh, tasty ingredients and yummy bread. The only downside of taking out the sandwiches is that the bread gets a little soggy after a few minutes. The Cucumber lemonade is really great too. Nice and refreshing with a spicy sandwich.

Since moving to Colorado I have felt like Denver is a Mecca of sub par Mexican restaurants. All of them are cooking the same exact thing. So I was really excited to read all the wonderful reviews of Torta Grill. Hubs and I decided to have a very low key birthday dinner for him Saturday night. Turned out to be a little full still from our afternoon festivities that we skipped Torta and made plans to go Sunday during the Broncos game. Turns out they are closed on Sunday. Bummer. Okay let’s get delivery for dinner on Monday after work!
It’s Monday, yeah we’re excited for Torta! We both choose the hector, different sauces so we could split them. I go to place delivery online but I am wary because when I came back to look at the menu I noticed a review suggesting that they say they deliver but they really don’t. So I was a little skeptical. I did some digging and realize they don’t deliver past 5PM, but their website does allow you to order delivery after 5. So that’s a poor customer experience. And it was hard to find the right times. We decided to just pick up the food, which was a painless easy experience.
Fast forward, 20 hours later and my husband was sick all night and is still ill. I’m fine and we ate exactly the same thing. And btw the food was totally delicious. It was so good. I think so solid clean up and maybe proper temperature checking might be just what they need! I am always the one to get sick too so if my husband is sick, you know something is wrong.
The sickness and confusion about time open and delivery on their website is why I’m giving them 3 stars. I will definitely try again though to see if anything changes.

Stopped by while I was in town for work and wow o wow they had some bomb ass tortas! I had the Juan which has steak, pork loin, cheese and I topped it off with some avocado sereno sauce. It came hot off the grill and looked amazing! I waited for it to cool down as much as I could before I demolished that torta! Highly recommend!

I am so torn by my review of Torta Grill. A friend (a GI doc, actually, which will be funny later) recommended it to me. So while hubs and I were waiting for a show at the Ogden, we ran up here to try it out.
He had the Carlito, and it was as good as promised. I’m not a vegetarian, but also not a huge meat eater, so I went with the Enrique with chipotle sauce, which had such interesting toppings as catcus and and egg. It was DELICIOUS! Seriously the best meal I’d had all month (and that’s even comparing it to some $$$ restaurants). A little greasier than I would have wanted, but a delicious, and interesting blend of flavors. And thanks to the little gift from the Unilocal!check-​in coupon, we were able to try the Cucumber Lemonade for free. It was refreshing, but sweet, and really good.
Why the three stars? Fast forward to me getting home at midnight after the show (dinner was at 8). My stomach started cramping up. I tried a pepto bismol (probably outdated, because I almost never have to take stuff like that). Didn’t work. By 1AM, I was puking my guts out. I slept on my bathroom floor until 5AM. It was bad news bears from both ends. Hubs fared better than me, but his stomach was still upset as evidenced by the smells escaping from him. (Have you completely lost your appetite now?). I was the DD and didn’t have anything to drink at the concert, so perhaps some beer helped partially disabled the germs in his stomach.
But you guys… it was SO good! Just because someone didn’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom, I paid for it all night. Even so, I’m going to trust these good reviews, and give them another shot some day. I’ll be looking for their sanitation score the next time I come in though. Good hand hygiene is imperative!

what I love about this place is that there is a concentrated effort to introduce gueros like me to some of the awesome Mexican traditions that are missing from far too many Mexican places. Milanesa, Al Pastor, Horchata, Fruta con Chile are all things that more gringos ought to be exposed to. An why is it when I go to most mexican places all they have is coke, and maybe jarritos? the juice and lemonade here freshly made washes down the thick carnes very well.
the ingredients are great too, but special mention to the way they lightly fry the bread to perfection. really makes the sandwich.
6 stars amigos! este gringo salio un poco mas gordo que antes

First visit — home run. So tasty! Tiny little joint off Colfax, totally worth coming by for a delish Mexican sandwich. A much better choice than the «usual» fast-​casual. I had the Pablo mini. I’m too gringo for the chipotle sauce, so next time I’d choose a different one, but if you can take the heat, it’s great. My son ordered the Ivan. Both were fantastic and gone in minutes. :-)
Staff was friendly and welcoming! Reasonably priced too! Highly recommend!

Mexican Sandwiches found here at Torta Grill. There is a small little lot (free parking) right behind this tiny eatery in the back in case you do not find parking (metered) on the street (free after 6 pm).
My husband and I came by here last Thursday (9 – 17) for a late dinner. Around 8:15 pm, we saw a few patrons eating at the little counter and employees cooking up some meat and vegetables on their stove top griddle. After browsing the menu, we decided upon:
By the way, I just want to mention that each torta comes spread with mayonnaise, beans, avocado slices, tomato slices and grilled onions. You can also choose between your choice of the following to add to your sandwich: jalapeño pepper, chipotle sauce, avocado serrano sauce and jalapeño jelly.
Miguel Torta, $ 7.75 prior to tax– My husband decided to order this torta which comes with steak, egg and cheese. This torta came already cut in half and was more than enough for one person to eat and feel satisfied. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The creaminess of the mayo and avocado really went well with everything that is stuffed in this large sandwich, making each bite better than the last.
Enrique Torta, $ 7.75 prior to tax– I opted for a vegetarian torta (I know that isn’t traditional, but I am fan of vegetarian food options and believe me, I did not feel like I was missing meat) that comes with egg, cactus, queso panela cheese, crushed red peppers and another type of cheese. This sandwich was really good. Just like the Miguel, this sandwich was also cut in half. I only had half of my sandwich and saved the other half to be consumed 2 days later (which still tasted really good). I liked the red peppers and cactus, as it gave it a really nice added flavor and texture. The avocado, mayo and smashed beans really complemented all of the ingredients.

(Total= $ 16.74 including tax, prior to tip)
With Unilocal Check In, you get a free cucumber lemonade. I thought it was okay, but felt it needed to be sweeter. But my husband liked it and found it to be refreshing.
Wait time for our sandwiches was not that long. Seating is quite limited here, probably can fit about 10 people. But just be aware that there is no public restrooms.
So if you are looking for something really filling to eat for lunch or dinner, then Torta Grill should fit the bill. Food is pretty affordable and is really good (messy, but good).
Would definitely order food from here again if I was ever in Denver again.

Took my daughter to grab a bite to eat after her softball game at East High School and found this gem on Unilocal.It is the definition of «hole in the wall» and well worth the visit. We were greeted warmly and helped to understand what a torta actually was. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. The bread is something from out of this world! I guess they have it made for them from a panaderia in town. Well worth the visit, just be prepared to dine in a small hole in the wall.

Pretty darn good place. They have some great tortas, full of flavor, and pretty unique.
Less complex, more traditional tortas would be great, as Ashley H. mentioned.

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. A place called torta grill, I expected to have at least a couple traditional tortas on the menu. Unfortunately, they are all over the top combinations of tortas. I am sure for some people this is a fantastic menu with a twist on a torta, for me it was too much.
The staff is friendly and the tiny place has a cool atmosphere. I thought it was a tad pricey for a torta place but they do have more options of things to put on your torta and a cool selection of speciality tortas and combinations. Expect to wait a while. They make everything fresh (so it’s pretty good once you get it) but it can take 15 minutes or so.
Skip it if you’re looking for a basic torta but definitely hit this place up if you are up for being a little more adventurous with your torta and trying something new!

Mmmmm their food is SO good! I came on a hot Saturday around 2p and was the only customer in there.
They are a two-​person show. One mans the cash register, the other cooks. Everything they made was fresh, greasy, and hot! I had a chicken sandwich with pineapple, BBQ sauce, and more. It was great!
The only negative to this place is the space itself. It’s really small — there are high-​top counter seats for 5 – 6 people and that’s it. Because they cook right in front of you it is HOT in there. It’s nothing fancy, but their food is great!
