Tortas are HUGE. Cash only but absolutely worth it, very nostalgic Mexican vibe and pretty fast service.

The Tortas are massive and reasonably priced. I got the "La Poblana" - green pepper, ham, onion, and cheese. Although I wish it had poblanos in it rather than green peppers...I really enjoyed it. The peppers should be cut smaller as well. Mine had chunks. The sandwich was a 4 out of 5 for me. The ham was cooked with a bit of a char which had gave it a nice flavor. The "horchata" I do not recommend at all. It was not milky or rice like it had any cinnamon which was very disappointing because the sandwich was so good. The "horchata" was just imitation flavored water. read more

Doña Torta Chilanga - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Overall, the food is really good. The portions are huge! My bf got the la Rusa & I got the Torta with carne asada! La Rusa : 7/10, the avocado didnt taste super fresh, and the meat was very thin, but the pineapple complimented the Torta overall. The portion size is huge and super flavorful. Torta w/ carne asada: 10/10, super great portion size and super generous with the meat, comes with cheese too & the also loaded with cheese. My fav Torta place! Get the carne asada, you'll love it! Great portions with amazing pricing, but downside is that it's cash only. Pros: great portions size, affordable, flavorful. Con : cash only. read more

Great food, fast service and fun location. My go to is the Hawaiian . There tortas are like foot longs but more delicious. Location is fine because they have different sandwiches named after different players of sports. read more

I haven't been here for awhile but the salsa was changed the last time I was here. The sandwiches are very good.

Ordered pickup. Cozy spot with a few families dining in. Food was prepared quickly and good. As my wife describes it, it's a torta with "extras". Will go again when craving a torta. read more

Doña Torta Chilanga - a sandwich with a fork - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My torta was fire. It was nice and crispy in the bread and I thought it was overall tasty and balanced. However, the two other people I was with ordered tacos and they weren't impressed at all. Still, I'm going to do this review based on what I experienced. The customer service was nice and the place has a cool soccer theme to all of the dishes. I think it's an interesting concept but I'd say stick to the torras if you come. I mean, it is in the name after all. The two others with me tried the torta I had and also enjoyed it. I got the breaded chicken, but not sure what the real name they use is. read more

Doña Torta Chilanga - Milanesa pollo - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Awesome tortas! So many options. I dined in with a couple of coworkers. I got la vegetariana torta. It was filled with rice, veggies, a lot of avocado (yum), and pineapple. My coworkers got tortas with meat that were also quite tasty. The service was quick and friendly. Before the meal, we were brought chips and salsa as well as pickled vegetables. During the meal, roasted hot peppers were also brought to us. There seemed to be plenty of free street parking nearby. We were in and out in under an hour at lunch time. read more

Why go to subway where they have sticker like deli when you can come here for bomb tortas. People are complaining about the tortas being $9 but their just being cheap considering the amount of ingredients they have. First of all, they start of by bringing you chips, green salsa, red salsa, and their tomato salsa. They are all really good. They also bring you some limes and pickled carrots. Which are homemade and not out the can like other restaurants. I always order La Chilindrina which has ham, breaded chicken breast, pineapple, Mexican chorizo, white cheese, Hot-dog weiners, and mushroom. Every torta comes with beans, mayo, tomatoes, avocado, and onion. So you can imagine how massive these are. Not to mention that their bread is made fresh everyday. The service is great never had a complain. They bring out the food pretty quick even on busy days. I want to say under 10-12 minutes. They have a very large variety of tortas that you can choose from. With different type of ingredients and meats. I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

The tortas got smaller and they're more expensive than before , like if your going to charge more keep the same portions

HUGE portions! amazing taste and so many different options to pick from. The food comes out pretty fast too

100% recommended. They have plenty of options for your taste, and all their dishes are DELICIOUS!!! Customer service is great and prices are great read more

This restaurant is sooo disappointing! You guys need new cooks because each time I go over there to get give this place another chance cause it's the only tortas in the area you guys fail me terribly!! The meat is always undercooked missing or just disgusting! But the waitress there is so sweet and she gets so embarrassed each time I go complaining about the food and it's not her fault it's the owners and cooks that they hire to make the food! read more

Nice friendly, fast service, delicious enormous proportions quality is just like D.F. Mexico City.

Delicious food, friendly staff. When Johnnie and Lovie were staying in Pilsen for six weeks in summer 2021, as we were moving back to Chicago, Dona Torta Chilanga was a go-to spot for great tacos and burritos after an evening of beers and cocktails. The asada burrito, pollo burrito, and al pastor tacos are excellent. read more

Best Tortas in town. Highly recommended step by and get yours now. La Chicharito Torta

I had asada tacos and the meat looked so unappetizing but I still ate. 20 minutes after eating I threw up. Never ever again. Also the girl with the tattoos who works the cash register had a pretty bad attitude. read more

Super short wait time, friendly staff. The portions were huge and the price was reasonable. Overall good experience.

Don't go here! I sat down and ordered a $2 taco from their menu; and when I went to pay, the cashier said it was $3.58. I asked her why, when all I ordered was a $2 taco and a glass of water. She told me that it was a charge for bringing chips and salsa to the table. I then asked her if a tip for the waitress was included in the extra $1.58 charge and she said that it wasn't. First of all, every Mexican restaurant that I have ever been to has always included chips and salsa with your meal as you dine. Secondly, the waitress needs to tell you before bringing the chips and salsa that they are not included with your meal. Lastly, they chips were extreme stale and greasy, as was the meat on my lengua taco. The only good thing about this place is that the waitresses smile! read more

Worst tortas ever. They had really bad flavor. The last time I went to dine in server was rude and rushing us out. Will never go there again. read more

I walked in and was a little upset that the price for a torta was $10+. I really hate leaving places without making a purchase, so I picked one off of their insanely extensive menu. The torta ended up being the size of a baby. I forgot which I ordered, but it had chicken, pineapple, ham, green peppers, and onions and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely recommend coming here. Sorry for the person that had to pay for their chips and salsa with their single taco, but they do not deserve their one star review. read more

I went in there on a recommendation on social media. WHOA! I ordered the "La Bomba" torta and I'm in love. It had steak, ham, bacon and cheese. They also served it with tortilla chips and salsa. It was SO good. Will definitely go back. Plus, parking on Cermak is easy so I don't have to worry about parking in the neighborhood. read more

I used to love this place, thought they had the best tacos in pilsen and went often. sadly disappointed today when we ordered take out and got tacos that were DRIPPING in oil!!! It was disgusting to take out of the plastic but silly me was starving and knew how good they used to be I still ate them! I tried taking off the outer tortilla but it was too mushy and soaked. Got chips and guac but chips were also a dark greasy color that I only ate a couple. now we are definitely regretting eating the meal. What kind of monster serves something dripping in oil??? I dont know what the cook was thinking, but they ruined place for us. I cant imagine eating there again..Ive developed a taste aversion :(. such a shame. used to be so good. 2 instead of 1 star, in hopes that today was a cook working his last day and now the new standard. sad and very disappointed. stomach has been hurting for the last 5 hours, what a mistake! read more

Best tortas in Chicago. Amazing concept.

The tortas are HUGE and absolutely delicious! Only problem I have is that me being a big soccer fan and being in this soccer themed restaurant is very frustrating. The reason why is that they have three TV's in this place and none of them are ever on soccer games or new!! NEVER!! It's always on a stupid soap opera that only the waitresses are interested in watching. The TV's aren't for the customers, they are for the employees only apparently. They might as well just make the place with a Mexican soap opera theme!! read more

This place is good food for a great price. Lunch for two less then 20 dollars for 2 tortas and an appetizer.

Last time I visited here the tortas were great. That was 2-3 years ago. Now..whatever happened to this place. Not what it used to be. Tortas are nearly $9 each and don't taste anywhere near good enough. Save your money and spend it anywhere but here. read more

Had a veggie burrito and veggie torta which was very enjoyable. Green sauce is really good, the red is as well but much hotter. Will be back

I've been here a few times always ordering the #4 la Hawaiian. Very good sandwich,. I've recently moved to Little Village and thought the Dona Torta in La Villa was the same. Wrong. Just the salsa alone made the difference. My Momma used to make salsa like yours. That's why I go on cermak and leavitt. read more

My girl loves it I ll eat it once in awhile but I ll take taco nasty tortas any day call me old fashioned

seen a pictures of their tortas somewhere which looked really good so i decided to try it.. i randomly ordered the Chicharito torta because i dont know which one is good.. haha the torta was huge and the price is cheap.. however i dont really like it tho.. it has too much stuff going on and it just makes it taste weird.. it had ham, hot dog, steak, etc... i like the idea of it being that big and has a lot of ingredients in there BUT atleast put in what goes well with each other instead of just everything.. read more

Yummy. Huge tortas. They also have breakfast. I just wish they opened earlier, I'm sort of a morning person. Luckily they're open until 11pm. I like the bajo cero, pretty basic, but they have tons of options to satisfy meat eaters. The cashier also hooked it up with some change for laundry. Awesome service/food. Cash only. read more

This place is disgusting, I asked for an order of carrots & peppers well some carrots had been bitten they had teeth marks and missing halves which means they save whatever is left over on peoples tables and use them again & again. NEVER COMING BACK HERE. read more
