We wanted to try this place for a long time. Cute and small but the service and ambiance was horiffic. The staff did not smile once and made us feel very unwelcome. The cook stared me down as I was eating and the waiter stared other people down as they were leaving. I will absolutely never go there again.

Their salad dressing is delicious and the tortas are really good. My favorite is «La Italiana» it has prosciutto, salami, and cheese with a honey mustard type dressing on the bread. It’s affordable, the service is fast, and the food is good. I recommend this place if you need to eat a quick yet fresh lunch and want to try something new. It’s also locally owned! :)

No, a torta is not just a sandwich, it’s made with flavorful ingredients, delicious meats and the bread has to be the perfect bolillo(french bread). This small, corner in a strip center delivers some delicious tortas, soups and salads. Torta combo comes with your torta, salad or soup and a drink. They’re soups are always so flavorful and bold(even the not so typical chicken noodle) which is what I had on Thursday. The soups change daily so you can mix up your order. If you’re a cilantro lover, you cannot skip out on their cilantro salad of mixed greens piled high with tangerine slices, almonds and their homemade creamy cilantro dressing. I’ve tried a couple of the tortas but from their Mexican, Argentinean and Vegetarian menus, my favorites are the Milanesa(french bread, milanesa [I switch the beef with chicken], black beans, avocado, cream, red onions and I add queso fresco). The traditional De La Barda(french bread, black beans, ham, veal, queso fresco, mexican chorizo, onion, tomato & avocado) is also tasty! Make sure to try their hot sauces laid out on the table and if you can really handle the heat, ask for the chicharron green sauce! Of course you can get your boring Diet Coke or Dr. Pepper but they have horchata & jamaica agua frescas! Fresh, delicious & quick… me gusta!
