    Once you get over the local element surrounding the area and visit this location it's great. We went through the drive through and we're quickly greeted in Spanish this gave a nice authentic feel. I asked if we could have a moment, which she was agreeable to. We finally determine what we would try. La Patrona, órale and tóxica. Once we got these home we realized these were some massive sandwiches. I was a little disappointed that it was a traditional torta like I have had in Mexico. It's was a great sandwich. Meaty with a great flavor. The meats were all juicy perfectly stacked to get all the tastes in each bite.

    Great fresh made sandwiches. The Burqueno and the Toxico both yummy!

    Wow! Very clean and inviting environment when you enter the establishment. Very modern looking decor and the use of today's technology for menu's. The food was freshly made with a good variety of sandwich options. Okay so about the food. The torta bread was light, soft baked and was grilled buttery and crisp on the underside, yum! The flavors are bold and spicy depending on what get, I suggest the Burqueno if you can handle it! this place is definitely worth a try, I will be back but it's something I personally need to be in the mood for. Hope you all enjoy!

    Pineapple (L) and horchata (R) agua frescas. Extra flavorful.

    Bottom Line: Very flavorful sandwiches & agua frescas. Super clean premises. Friendly & helpful counter lady. Strong accent can be hard to understand. A bit high on price for agua frescas. Online menu is brief & easy to understand. Top Line: Being a new business, Don Tortas interior was immaculate & shiny. Counter lady was friendly, outgoing, and helpful toward us making our choices for monthly outing. But her accent was pronounced enough that I struggled to understand what she said. My choice was La Patrona $12 torta with $5 horchata agua fresca. My dining partner went with the La Toxica torta, a side of fries, and pineapple agua fresca. Partner praised the pineapple drink for its flavor. I noted that the horchata possessed a notably heavier body than most I've had, which tend to be quite thin & watery even when they have good flavor. Don Tortas' horchata also was a bit more complex in flavor than most. Not just rice water, sugar, & cinnamon, which is pretty much the most basic & stripped down version. DT's horchata had nutmeg & some other flavor players joining the party, making it a distinctive drink. Sandwiches were large. Generosity on the portion front! The butter grilled toasted rolls were well loaded with meat, vegetation, cheese, dressing. The specific ingredients made for a rich & varied taste. Different textures kept the palate from being bored. Special note of the bread being sufficiently durable to not soggy up or crumble under the load they bore. The jalapeno peppers & chipotle arrived on the side. Chipotle was strong with the smoky flavor and, while it had a nice sting to it, was not as searingly hot as I anticipated. So I put it *all* on my torta & it wasn't too spicy. The pickled jalapeno was a bit hotter. But the hottest of all was the carrot slices that were pickled in with the jalapenos. So I easily recommend Don Tortas on the south side of Central Ave a block east of San Mateo as a good spot to hit up for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner sandwich & really fine agua frescas.

    One word, wow! Thank you Yelp, another great find. I saw their page on Yelp and I knew I needed a torta right away. I rolled in and couldn't make up my mind. The lady working the counter was so nice and helped me make a decision. I ordered the La Toxica, grilled steak and a smoked pork chop. I also ordered fries and a large horchata. Man the food was good. My only gripe is that I got takeout so the bread was a little soggy by the time I got home. If your feeling like a hot sandwich, definitely check this place out. Don Torta is officially on my list of sandwich stops.

    This place was a surprise. The food is very high quality. The Agua Frescas are the best I've had in Albuquerque ever. Seriously you can come here just to buy drinks. I had the burqueña. My only critique is the chorizo was a little on the salty side. But it did not ruin anything. This place is a top notch choice any day of the week.

    The inside is clean and menu is easy to read but so hard to decide what to get! Everything sounded so good. We got the Chale and the Burquena with green Chile. We were really happy with both options. Definitely best enjoyed fresh since the ingredients + bread could be soggy if you order delivery or takeout. The horchata was delicious and not watered down at all. We will definitely be back to try the breakfast options! Be patient, since they just opened but it's worth the wait!

    Great new spot on the west side of town! Tortas tasted delicious recommend if your craving a delicious torta!

    Don Tortas is a new business in town offering traditional Mexican tortas (sandwiches). They have breakfast tortas and also lunch/dinner type tortas; however, you can order them all at any time of the day. Their menu ranges from all type of meat: chicken, pork, beef, sausages and chorizo. I recommend getting the potato chips as a side for your torta, but you also have fries as an option. There's a great variety of aguas frescas that would perfectly go along with whatever torta you order. They had a great opening event and I'm confident they will succeed as they have traditional food and amazing staff.

    Cubano torta with chipotle sauce plus fries and a jarritos.

    From out of town and am a huge fan of tortas! Dropped in around 11AM and was the only one there but my food was fantastic! Very pleased with the flavor and quantity of food.

    #13 La Rancherita
    Molly M.

    Best torta of my life! Recommend the #13 La Rancherita. It's pricey but worth it. Huge sandwich. The watermelon agua fresca was also amazing and worth the $. Great spot, very nice and clean inside.

    We went today looking for something good to eat and we found this amazing place .. Marina suggested some Tortas and they were just to die for ! Really great place ! Very clean , food is jimmy and the service on point !

    10/10 very fresh!! Worth the tiny wait. Patience is key to great served food! Definitely will be coming back!:)

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting, and the service was genuinely outstanding--friendly, attentive, and the kind that makes you want to come back.

The pierogies were a fun surprise, each one a little different, and all packed with flavor. It's the kind of dish that keeps you engaged with every bite. Even the black coffee stood out--smooth, bold, and exactly what you want alongside a satisfying meal. Altogether, Red Rock Deli delivers not just great food, but a genuinely enjoyable experience. Highly recommended if you're looking for something a little different and truly comforting.

The brats were delicious - whatever herbs are in there are delicious. The schnitzel was also good and there was enough we were able to take it and eat half of it later. We also ordered meat pierogis and sweet pierogis.They were all very small. For$16-$20 I would've liked them to be more than two small bites/one large bite each. There are no fountain drinks only cans/bottles. All that said, like I said, the meats were delicious. The potato salad with dill was delicious. The Eastern European market stuff was fun and I saw a lot of things I want to go back and get. There's a lot of cool polish stuff on the walls.

I peruse the menu, another customer drops their shake. Gonna be longer. That's fine, go help them. "No, I can take your order REALLY FAST." Well, I was looking at the menu, but cool to be rushed. I remember when the young lady that used to work there was at the counter. 6-8 people in line, greeted with a smile and Hi! Welcome in! There was a longer wait, but it was ok, because the service was good, and so was the food. Today? I'll never return. I spent over $15.00 including a credit card surcharge (a business owner that wants to take credit cards but can't be bothered to be a business owner and pay their bills.) I left a $5 cash tip - I figured I'd the business owner can't pay the 3% on a bad merchant account, they most likely aren't paying the staff livable wages... I sat down and put my gear down, and waited... for about 15 minutes, before this garbage salad that was falsely advertised as having toppings and 3 sliced chick'n strips. The entire salad didn't fill the bowl.? On the bottom were less than a teaspoon of diced tomatoes. In the entire salad there was ONE "fried onion." The lettuce was chopped like slop, there was barely enough chick'n to call it 1.5 slices. Absolute trash. For 15$ I ate my salad, listening as Morticia Addams' understudy pleasantly said good bye, have a nice day, et cetera to the customers who were leaving. I got up, threw my trash, walked out. Silence: The whole time I was in there, a cheap speaker was streaming some crappy 90s "radio friendly hip hop." When my salad was brought to me, even after explaining it's very hard to eat, or carry , a salad on a motorcycle, it arrived in a to-go/carry out, lid is RIGHT THERE,.Morticia helpfully pointed it out, a subtle hint that I wasn't a welcome guest. As I was gearing up to get on my motorcycle out comes our antagonist. Not to be polite or anything. To smoke or vape. I didn't stick around to smell which one she was doing in the doorway. I get it, lucky goose doesn't want my money. They've made it abundantly clear. That's fine. I'll go to Steelbender, where they have vegan options, and like that customers come on to give them money. I accidentally posted this review to the uptown location. I've never been, and will never be, to that location. This review was the knob hill location.

It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

It separates nicely when bitten into so you are not pulling a piece of brisket out when you are biting into your sandwich. The sandwich is jam packed with a generous serving of the brisket so I can't complain about that. I've only had the pleasure of the having the beans, and cream corn casserole among the sides. I can vouche for the tastiness both of them. The beans could probably be replicated, but the corn casserole is pretty unique in my opinion. I really liked it. Something like a corncake with bits of corn scattered through out. The sandwich alone is $13 or a combo for $15 which includes a side. I little on the high end in my opinion, but you won't be hungry when you are done. The only other fault in my opinion is the temperature. Both times I had them, my brisket was luke/room temp. Not really very warm at all. I dunno, but depending on your circumstances, you could always bring it home and nuke it! Sorry, no pics, I scarfed it both times without a single snap!
