CASA DE TORTA IS FAMILY. CASA DE TORTA IS HOME. I've been going to Dan's restaurant since 2001 when they were a little spot inside the Howdy's gas station (it used to be a Texaco and they had a different name back then). Then they moved to their own space behind the Walgreens and became Casa de Torta! I've been ordering their insanely delicious Chicken Quesadilla for going on 20 years now and I'm still not tired of it. Their Tortas and Taco Plates are amazing. They make these fruit smoothies that are absolutely bananas as well. But that Chicken Quesadilla, oh boy... that's my favorite! I order it with fresh avocado slices inside and I add their famous green salsa, a pinch of salt and WHAMO! Perfection! LOL. Dan the owner, Julio the Manager and sweet Esther the cook are like family to my mother and I. In 2018, my mom had 3 back-to-back strokes and everyone was telling me she was going to die. I needed funds immediately to keep up the mortgage payments on her house, pay medical bills, etc. etc. I made a flyer for the GoFundMe page I made for her. Dan didn't hesitate to let me hang it right on their front glass door so anyone coming in would see. Dan donated on the spot (despite going through his own serious health battles) and then the staff came together to donate a little extra. All I have in this world is my mom and my animals. She is the love of my life and for 8 months she was in the hospital with tubes and IVs sticking out of her. It was terrible. When I'd come home to shower, I would call in my order and pick it up the way I always do and they would always ask about my mom. Sometimes they would see how bad I'd been crying or how exhausted I was and they wouldn't accept my money for the food. These people were the family I never had in my time of need. They all love my mom and that fact alone makes me love them. My mom is alive but she remains brain damaged and paralyzed and I take care of her all by myself. We can't afford to eat at their restaurant like we used to because of my mom's expensive daily care, but every 8 months or so I save up to buy our favorite dishes from them. We rather eat there than any other restaurant in the city because these people are the best of the best when it comes to humanity. The amazing food is just a bonus. If you're looking to support a local business and get some AWESOME food while you're at it, this is the place to do it. Every time I have moved back to El Paso, the first thing I do is hit up Casa de Torta... not only because I crave their food ALL the time, but because Casa de Torta is home. Thank you!!! read more

I order 1 pound of barbacoba this morning pre ordered around 10:30 to have it ready by 11:30 it took longer which is understandable it's the weekend. That was not my issue my issue is why does it ta8 rancid like old meat was mix with fresh meat. We ate a few tacos and with in the hour it was totally spoiled if I'm paying $18 I would like to be able to enjoy the whole pound without any issues. Please do better Casa De Torta read more

the wait time is ridiculous. Ordered ONE torta and had to wait 40 minutes. there's no way it should take that long. they should give you a heads up on wait time if that's the case. read more

A date and I were passing by this exit in north El Paso on our way back to Las Cruces and decided to hit up the Casa de Torta for lunch. Its location is well suited for the 45 minute drive to the City of the Crosses. The immediate area was quite busy but we managed to find a convenient parking spot off to the side of the building. The restaurant itself is not large with several tables and a few wood benches. The ambiance is best described as "spartan." It is an order at the counter place and they bring the food to your table. The restaurant was doing a brisk drive up window business. Most of the food served is either tortas or burritos . Prices are reasonable. Today I wanted to try their Pampas Torta with beef milanesa and chorizo even though I knew milanesa can be dry and tough to bite into. I ordered it as part of a combo meal with fries and a drink. My date ordered a beef and potato chile Colorado burrito minus the beans. The time from ordering to food on the table was around twelve to fourteen minutes. The food arrived at our table in a large paper bag; kind of a strange way to serve people dining in. Inside the bag was a burrito wrapped in paper, a large and heavy torta wrapped in foil, and a bunch of fries in a styrofoam container. Drinks are self serve at a counter. There were a couple napkins in the bag, but I had to go back up to the counter to ask for a plastic fork and extra napkins...which were needed. Overall, the service was pleasant and efficient enough but far from a professional level. The fries were light and crispy...not oily at all and fairly well seasoned. Rate these fries a "B." The beef burrito Colorado had a bit of potato and meat that was shredded. The meat was tender but the red sauce was not very tasty. This burrito didn't compare with the red chile meat burritos served around Las Cruces. I don't want to come across as a Las Cruces chauvinist but this red chile meat burrito wouldn't rank in the top twenty around Cruces. Rate it a "B-." Slightly above average. My torta was quite heavy. It had a large bun but the bun was not very flavorful and did not hold up that well. The chorizo had a nice flavor (but there was very little chorizo in the torta) as did the beef, but the milanesa itself had virtually no breading on it and it was so tough and grisly that you could literally not bite into it and it took eons to chew. This did not make for a pleasant dining experience. Rate the torta I had between a "C-" and a "D." It was not very good. Word of advice: if you dine here do NOT order the beef. I have to believe that chicken or other torta fillings will be better and worthy of a much higher grade. The restaurant did offer some little vials of red and green salsa to use on your meal. These were ok. At the end of the day, rate the overall dining experience at Casa de Torta around TWO AND THREE QUARTER STARS...meaning kind of mediocre. You do have to know what to order here as not everything is top drawer. Will I return? Can't be certain. I didn't enjoy my lunch very much. read more

Very friendly service. We went in for a to go order. Relaxing atmosphere. This review is just for the torta cubana and chile colorado burrito. The pork in the torta as perfectly cooked, not too fatty. It just needed a tad bit of salt to bring out flavor. The chile Colorado was delicious too. Same thing though needed a bit of salt. Its probably not a bad thing though. We probably shouldn't be eating so much salt anyway. Other than that we had a good experience. read more

Food is always good, attention to detail could use work. Got home to find that rice and beans were missing.

I have visited Casa de Torta several times, and I am always happy with the taste of their food and customer service. The parking lot at the mini-mall they are located at is quite busy, so please be careful when you visit them. I tried their drive-thru, but it takes a while to get your food. I have never dined in; I always take my food to go, and when I do, I ensure I am not in a rush because it does take them a while to serve. My favorite is their chile colorado burrito. read more

Love this spot! It is my go to place for a side of refried beans. Lol that's right. I just come for the beans! I once got a thing of their chicken nachos a long time ago. I think I also tried their carne asada burritos. I will say the nachos were an excellent portion and tasted great. I wasn't too thrilled by the carne asada burrito unfortunately. I love coming here because i know their beans are made fresh every day. They have options of the drive thru or call ins which is super convenient. I always call and pick up my beans cuz it's easier to me. Small place with not too many tables. So it's just as well to get orders to go. read more

I asked for Carne Asada Fries and they told me they could make them. I guess El Paso doesn't know about Carne Asada Fries because this is what I got. Now I get that they're French Fries with Carne Asada on top of them but no sir, no ma'am these are not Carne Asada Fries. read more

Casa De Torta - The lamest excuse for Carne Asada Fries I've ever seen. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I waited 25 minutes in the drive through on Sunday. Finally, I went inside to see what the problem was. After several more minutes of trying to get someone's attention, I discovered my order was just sitting on the counter getting cold. Terrible customer service. I won't go there again, and you shouldn't either. read more

Pros - The Very Best Steak tortilla the Texana steak tortilla is my favorite. Always clean fast freindly service and you can go in and dine or go through convenient drive through. All 5 stars Cons - charge extra for paying with debit card and hours they close early. Wish they stayed open longer especially in summer months and who carries cash any more. Over all a Great place to eat. read more

Yes, this place was bomb! I went around 10am. I had a chorizo and egg burrito without beans and a chile relleno burrito! The chile relleno burrito was a little tough to bite though but the chorizo and egg burrito was perfect! I love extra salsa so I had the red and green on the side. The green was my favorite! Will go again! read more

I have been coming here for 10 plus years and they are always friendly, efficient and the food is always delicious! Highly recommended this spot for amazing Mexican food, wings, burgers etc read more

We stopped in one afternoon for tacos - they were out quick, they were fresh, and the chicken was absolutely delicious. I didn't even take photos because of how quickly I ate them! The beans and rice were dry AF - hence the four instead of five stars - but definitely check it out! read more

Reliable through the years. We order large orders for family parties. The family orders of flautas, specifically. Comes with everything you need include rice, beans, lettuce, salsas and sour cream. We always get compliments and get asked where we ordered from. read more

Love this place. The people that work here are always so nice. And the food is delicious. I totally recommend the Chile relleno. They clean the chilies really well so i don't get a mouth full of seeds. If you're really hungry try the nachos deshebrada. It's a lot of food and they pile on the deshebrada. I have also had the Chicana torta. It has chicken, chilies and cheese. And if you're thirsty get one of their horchatas. My grandson swears it's the best he's ever tasted. read more

Great family run and owned business! Tacos are delicious! They have good prices for large platters for entertainment!

The food is always good. It's strongly recommended to call in for your food order unless you are going to eat there. All food is made once ordered and it does make it a bit of a wait for takeout. The food is always worth it though. Staff and owner are always friendly. read more

Great food! Burritos super ricos y las tortillas están wow!! Customer service sucks but who cares you there for the food.

Food is always on point. Hot, fresh, and tasty. I wish they would give more salsas, because they're so good. I would definitely recommend. read more

The food is excellent! Everything is made to order... and they ask the most important question: red or green! Torta bread just melts when you bite into it. The restaurant staff are efficient and friendly. It's busy there but totally worth the small wait. There is also a drive through window. And you can always call in your order ahead of time so you can just get it and go! ( or eat in :) Definitely a great restaurant! read more

I love this place! Small but great business! Busy but they get the food out quickly and they are the best tortas you will ever eat!

they advertise chips & salsa on the counter & when you ask for it the lady at the cashier said they don't do it anymore and she admitted it was false advertisement but they still keep the signs there. so for a side of small 8oz salsa it's $4 & a side of chips is $5 something... almost $10 for chips and salsa is ridiculous, my son's kid tender meal doesn't come with a dipping sauce and that it is an extra $1.50. This place is so greedy with everything & extra items are priced way too high. The 2 girls at the counter give attitude which is not needed, and talked about me the second I walked away within ear shot. But because I had my son with me I didn't say anything,You'll know who those 2 are because it's the only girls I ever see there. So service is horrible & the sooo greedy with everything. You're way better off going to the burrito house! Trust me, they'll save you money & do it with a smile! Definitely need to take classes on customer care! who admits to false advertising?? read more

I enjoy this place every time i visit El Paso from Dallas. Great Burritos, Great Flautas & Great Menudo, This please does not disappoint! read more

Terrible service and food is overrated. Unfortunately there's not another Mexican restaurant close by so people continue to go there. I recommend going a little further and enjoying good quality Mexican food. read more

Oh my goodness. I'm not a big Mexican food person, but I love a good torta. The chile relleno torta here is amazing. Such a great deal with crispy fries and a fountain drink for $2 more. This is easily my favorite meal in town. read more

Amazing gem in the northeast! The menudo is great, everything is. If you are feeling healthy they also have great smoothies. Very friendly staff, my favorite place for a quick breakfast. read more

Great beef tacos they are the right amount of salty and savory. I had the combo so it came with rice and beans. They were not anything to write home about, but not bad in anyway they got the job done. The fries were hot and crispy the kind you get at any border town diner,they were so good. It was a last minute add on but we very much enjoyed the fries. The bean and cheese burrito was one of the best ones I have had in El Paso. The flour tortilla is super thick and works great with the melting cheese and hot creamy beans. Just wish it stayed together better. The barbacoa torta was very yummy, but you have to eat it quick or it wants to fall apart on you. That being said, don't let that scare you away from trying it. We tried their red sauce and it reminded me of a place back home. I'd like to try the green next time. If you are on this side of town stop in and give it a try. The staff is super chill and the place was clean. read more

Casa De Torta - Beef taco combo plate - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We were new to the neighborhood and wanted to try authentic Mexican food, and found Casa De Torta on Yelp. The foods are all very fresh and delicious, and the owner and staff are all very friendly. I would rank their tacos as one of the best in El Paso, it is home-made style and very fresh and not too salty, just right halapanjo in the ingredients that I can finally appreciate the mild spicy taste. And the baboco is also very delicious and fresh, I would recommend it as a must-try dish. This is definitely the to-go place to recommend to my friends and family! read more

A few years ago I moved from the Eastside to the Northeast and Casa De Torta quickly became my go-to for breakfast! There is something for everyone on the menu and nothing you won't like. Staff is wonderful even when the restaurant is bustling! While worth the wait, a drive thru is also available for customers. Unfortunately I didn't get photos of my food on my last visit (ate too quick lol) but I'll be sure to next time. I ended up relocating back to the Eastside but I'm always willing to make the drive just for their delicious food! P.S ask for the salsa verde on the side you wont regret! read more

Love the family packs of flautas. Great tortas too! Burritos are good. Convenient drive thru. We love it here!

Really good and fast food. My husband and I ran in and ordered lunch to go and it was very quick and tasty!

Great food, ambiance, service and prices. I've been purchasing various foods on the menu which is always delicious. Saturday and Sunday my menudo go to place. read more

Great food. The Mexican tortas (sandwiches) are delicious. Great variety and friendly staff. Highly recommended

We came here because we were looking for a place with aguas frescas and we saw it on their Yelp menu. Turns out they were just licuados... not the same thing! We ordered a few kids meals, some quesadillas, burritos and a torta and the bill came out to $70! Very overpriced for the quality of the food. The milanesa tasted refrigerated and dry, the verde guisado had no spice, and the beans in the burritos was almost white and entirely tasteless. The only positives were the desherbada quesadilla and the size of the kids chicken finger meal. For that price, save your money and go elsewhere. read more

This place was small but the food was good. I had the nachos with chicken and it had me full. I will be going back again to enjoy this place. If you are in the area I recommend you stop by and eat. read more

I had a quick trip to El Paso a few weeks ago, and I was very lucky to get this suggestion from my girlfriend. This hidden gem is located in North East El Paso and has been there for over 8 years. It's got quite a bit of room too, so that was nice. The cashier was very friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. It was about 2:30 when we stopped in and not too busy. I went with the Cubana Torta Combo ($7.75) that included a side of fries and a fountain drink with one refill. The sandwich was great. the Pork was juicy yet slightly caramelized with a bit of crunch. The cheese and chili's really made for a nice flavor profile. The french fries were piping hot and salted perfectly. All of it went great with a Dr. Pepper. We also shared the Beef Taco Plate ($6.99). The tacos were soft and tasty. Not chewy or crunchy, but just right. The beef was flavorful and with a little bit of hot sauce, also tasted great. The beans and rice were spot on and made for nice sides. Tip: All the food is packaged to go, so it makes it really easy if you're in a hurry. If you're ever in search of a good Torta, this is the place. read more

Great food and service. Enchiladas, menudo, burritos and tortas are excellent, and convenient for those in North and Pleasant hills.

Excellent food and service. Been going here for years and have never been disappointed

Great breakfast burritos and menudo (on the weekends)! Their tortas are also good, esp the milanesa one.
