Food was good. And they were pretty quick for the lunch hour. I had an hour for lunch, they looked busy and still provided good customer service. I was in and out in about 30 minutes I ordered enchiladas read more

This is the place to come if you're starving $19.45 for all you can eat weekday lunch buffet including drink. They have a salad bar but I skipped that and went straight to the meats piling up the plate with pork and beef dishes along with some Mexican rice and some token vegetables. We ate so much including pie for dessert that we did not have any room for dinner that night. They also had individual entrees of tacos, enchiladas, sopes, rellinos, tamales for around $12.45 for people who are not starving read more

Went here with my coworkers during lunch time and there was a good amount of people because they had a lunch buffet. I wasn't that hungry so I decided to just get one of their lunch specials which was the crunchy chicken tacos with a small drink. It costs about $11. It was an alright snack but there wasn't that much chicken in it because it was filled with veggies and cheese. They put the drink in a to go cup which was convenient. Our server was courteous and attentive. I'll definitely try the buffet next time which costs $20. read more

I''ve been going here every now and then during my lunch or whenever I get my check. I always get the chilaquiles. They are so good. I also LOVE the diced potatoes. The texture is perfect to me and isn't soggy like the other restaurants. It didn't taste like it was warmed up in a microwave so that's a win. The overrall food they have is good and the service is so warm and welcoming. They talk to me like I'm a family member or something . Come here and eat their food. read more

I called & ordered the chicken flauta lunch with pinto beans and extra hot sauce. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. I went in to get it shortly later. It's in The Galleria" in downtown Fresno. The restaurant is very nice. Clean, safe & practiced. Calm. Greeted by kind worker and order was ready & waiting. Paid for it and wished a good day after being offered hot sauce! Lunchtime! I got some of their sweet cinnamon sugar chips leaving to go with it. Really great! They have them for customers to take and you can also buy some. Chicken Flauta was really good. Just wish I knew they put sour cream on it. Definitely preferred without. Came with pinto beans and rice. Both were really good! Fresh & tasty hot sauce also! Nice spice! It can't with a bag of original chips and they went good with the salsa too! Good amount! Leftovers! Good service & lunch! Recommended! read more

Fresh, fresh, fresh. Outstanding taste, very clean. Good value. Highly recommend, I'll be back!

Stopped in recently on a Thursday with some family because I noticed they have a buffet every day and posole on Thursdays. We all got the buffet which comes with a drink for about $10. The restaurant is in the Galleria with 3-4 other restaurants, all pretty small and casual. These businesses generally cater to downtown working crowd, they know you're on a lunch hour and they aim to get you in and out, which I appreciate. For those not walking from work, there is free parking in a small lot to the side of the building, which didn't need to be validated. The food was good but not outstanding. The buffet was small but enough of a variety of options including a small salad station. The posole I was looking forward to didn't disappoint. Not the best I've had but really good (which generally means it had enough garlic and chile). The beans and rice were just ok. I found the chile verde to be a little salty. The cheese enchiladas were good but didn't care for the ground beef ones. Highlights were the chile rellenos which had a good amount of cheese and the flan. I don't usually care for flan but this was really good caramel flavor and firm. I also appreciated that they had brewed tea since I don't drink soda. I will definitely come again, adding it to my downtown lunch spots - for the buffet and lunch specials. read more

First time there and found it clean, good food, friendly staff. The prices were decent, especially the buffet! I thought the salsa was a tad hot, and not a fan of their chips, but all and all I would recommend this restaurant, and I will be going back read more

A couple of friends and I went there for a quick lunch since we have a short lunch break. Their daily specials and buffet are very reasonably priced. I ordered the chile relleno with beans and rice. Left very happy and satisfied. Will definitely return and try the buffet next time. read more

Not bad for the price ! But honestly the food is average, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. However, if you work downtown town or live in the area you will enjoy it because of the convenience and cheap lunch pricing. The bf and I like to frequent downtown town just for the heck of it, we have our usual spots we like but wanted to try something different. Galleria has free 2 hour parking during the week so we decided to come here to grub. It did take awhile to get menus and our drink order in, but we came during the lunch rush so it's understandable I guess. The waitress didn't crack a smile or anything she was very rush-rush. Like "hurry -up -and- order- I -have -50 -other -customers -to -tend -to "type of attitude. Again I understand. My bf ordered a beer and it was priced fairly he just had to wait a very long time to receive it. The food however, came out quickly. I ordered 2 grilled chicken tacos w beans and rice. Tacos were good, but they made them way too spicy. I know I'm Latina n all but I can't handle a lot of spicy-ness in my food. Beans and rice were OK. My bf always orders Chile Colorado, he said it was 6 stars out of 10. Good chips and salsa but flour tortillas are yuck! They were rubbery and hard, so corn tortillas is a better option here. Side note : They do have a little lunch buffet too for $10.65. I took a gander and it looked alright ,average amount of options and they had a mini dessert table as well, just another way to go if you're extra hungry during lunch hours. read more

If you're looking for decent, filling, and a safe choice for Mexican food; this is it. On Thursdays it's Pozole day, it's yummy and not greasy, served with all the fixings. Hubby always gets beef enchiladas at every Mexican restaurant we go to. You won't find lengua or buche on the menu. But you can sit outside under shaded trees in a nice courtyard. read more

Aswesome food, great service and good prices! Worth driving too if your not downtown!

Friendly welcoming staff , we went for lunch, buffet was delicious I had their home made empanadas, carne/ chile verde, chile de molcajete, arroz, frijoles cosidos. And agua de jamaica. Most of all the food tasted like it was freshly made. Ambiance was welcoming, melow music. Very clean, well kept. read more

Great location in downtown Fresno with daily lunch specials. They offer breakfast and lunch daily with an all you can eat lunch buffet. Some foods are tastier at times than others. Service is always nice and you can call ahead for to go orders. One thing I think they can improve on is their salsa, it's neither spicy or flavorful. read more

La Torta - Super nachos - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

I believe I may have just had the absolute best torta de carnitas I've ever had in my life. I usually stick with either an asada burrito or torta, but I decided to change it up today and order the torta de carnitas. From the soft torta bread to the carnitas and everything in between - it was magical! Thank you, La Torta, for always delivering amazing food! I can taste the love! read more

Excellent customer service and the food is delicious. Every bite is full of flavor. Definitely coming back. Although their parking sucks but the food makes up for it. read more

I've always wanted to try this restaurant out for months and finally had the chance to. The customer service was 5/5. I ordered the fish taco and carnitas torta. The fish taco was a 6/10 and the torta was a 7. Reason for the fish taco being a 6 was it could of been better. Improvements could be a more cooked tortilla and a little more seasoning. The torta was soft but could of been a little more toasted as the bottom was a tad soggy but still enjoyable. Overall, I would come back again during their lunch buffet and try it out. read more

I never been to this restaurant before. And i will not go again. I ordered a taco salad. It was piled with lettuce. The meat was burnt and it was cold. They had the audacity to charge $15.49 for it too. I would not recommend this restaurant. Save your money! read more

Five stars for their huevos rancheros!!! I order this to go, and nearly every time I open the box, it is a beautiful mess inside. With potatoes and beans running together, the eggs and red sauce sliding around. It is delicious!!! read more

Free chips and salsa?! Sure! Especially since the salsa is pretty darn good! I do come here at least once a month - to me the best Mexican option if you're downtown for several reasons. First and foremost great service! Have not had one bad experience. They can get busy so refills on drinks sometimes can be a bit slow, but hey, you can also get up and refill your own drink. Novel idea right? ;) Their lunch specials are always pretty good. This time I got the chicken tacos with a side of rice and a soft drink for under $10 - not bad for lunch! Tacos were delicious and rice was seasoned well. Perhaps I should have had water instead of soda, but there's just something very fulfilling about having soda with Mexican food. I do love their hot salsa!! Ask for it if it doesn't come out with your meal. This time of year is great to sit outside (especially at lunch) and enjoy the view. I must say, this part of downtown is not so bad. read more

Great spot for a delicious, big ass Mexican breakfast. Customer service was great, Elsa was amazing, sweet and looked clean and gorgeous at 7a--- which is important to me, I like folks to clean when they prepare food for me. Prices are excellent especially if you've lived in other parts of Cali. $6.50 for Huevos Ranchero with Beans, Potatoes and warm tortillas. Drinks are separately priced. Breakfast burritos are $5.50. Food - Delicious Huevos Ranchero with beans and potatoes. Fresh food, not too much salt but great flavors. Stomach doesn't hurt after eating their food. Free chips and salsa. Convenience - across from Starbucks, walking distance (5-7 min) walk from Courthouse, library and Amtrak/Greyhound. And open at 6a. Ambiance - Clean and not too much decorations, a picture of Frida Kahlo and a chart showing all of the various chilis. CNN on the flat screen TV. Mexican music playing. I really like the kind where you hear violins and a bunch of men sing at the same time, joyously, followed by that hilarious laugh. I love it! And I love hearing Elsa sing along. read more

Protip- $9.65 lunch buffet M-F 11-2pm. Parking is also validated Love the buffet here- it's hella cheap and the food served here all taste great. Everything from enchiladas, tacos, dessert, salad, Spanish rice and chicken is served and always taste fresh. I like how the quality has not changed ever since I last tried this place out when they were in Van Ness a few years back. Drinks, chips and salsa are also included with the buffet. Service is always friendly here, and they get people in and out really quick during the lunch hour, which is another plus since they are located in the downtown Galleria which seems to be pretty popular in this area. read more

This little hidden restaurant was worth the search. Ordered the chili verde it was about $12 with rice and beans. Flavor was on point! Not too spicy the service was good too and they had samples of banuelos read more

I have debated on writing this review since I am a regular here, but I only feel it's right to speak out. I came here with my family friday, Usually the atmosphere here is very nice and the owner is usually sweet. The service is always great with the waitresses. They all provide fast and efficient service to each of their customers with a smile and good attitude. During our checkout this day, I witnessed the owner of the establishment using vulgar language towards the young(I believe to be Asian) waitress. When the young waitress proceeded to speak back and tell the boss that she can't speak to her that way, the boss then walks to the back of the restaurant to loudly gossip to the back workers about what the waitress did wrong. How unprofessional of her! It was quite a scene that was highly uncomfortable to watch. As somebody who use to work in the restaurant industry as a young adult, I would've been just as upset at my superior using profanity towards me especially in front of the other customers. What I witnessed was clearly an act of bullying from a superior and that is just not okay. I felt sad for that girl and her peers. read more

I love coming to La Torta. Besides the great food the staff is so friendly and they go out of their way to make your dining experience that much more enjoyable. If you enjoy patio dining they have it as well... They offer chips and two types of salsa at no extra charge. I usually order the grilled chicken taco salad. It has grilled chicken, beans, lettuce, cheese, guacamole and it's encased in a fried flour tortilla. So dang yummy and huge. Or the chili verde nachos are a great choice too. Seriously enough for three people to share. My absolute favorite is pozole Thursday. It is so flavorful and hearty. Especially when it's cold outside. So many options... yummmm read more

My #1 favorite lunch spot in downtown Fresno. Conveniently located in The Galleria. Great chips and salsa. Daily lunch specials that are very reasonable. They have a lunch buffet, too, until 2PM. Open until 4 PM if you're late getting out to lunch. The owner and servers are very friendly and attentive. My favorites? The shredded beef tacos or the Thursday special...Macho Burrito, chili verde. Very tasty! Oh, need a party tray for your nearby office lication? They can do that! read more

Meh food. Won't be back, but it's wasn't downright terrible. I'm not sure why I ordered the enchilada meal but I was woefully disappointed, soggy tortilla covered in sauce hastily wrapped around almost flavorless shredded beef. I was able to choke it down with the rice, beans, and tortilla chips that we're close by. read more

We are not from the Fresno area , but we happened to be in town. We were looking for a good Mexican restaurant to have some breakfast. We came upon this location and decided to give it a go. I can say it was very delicious. We had tacos al pastor and asada and they were bigger than your usual small tacos , and they had all the sides imaginable to accompany your tacos. The meat was fresh and tasty and as well as well chopped. We also had a little bit of the buffet that they serve and I may say everything was exceptional. If you're in the area and are looking for good authentic Mexican food , here's your place. read more

Had a nice surprise as I was walking back from the Farmer's Market on Kern at around 9 am this morning... I glance over to see a sign that La Torta (located in the Galleria) is open for breakfast. Their hours in fact are 6 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday. I had made the mistake of setting out on my walk to the Farmer's Market without eating anything whatsoever, not even my mandatory coffee, so I decided to stop in. Friendly service right away, took my order quickly. My huevos rancheros over easy with corn tortillas was right on the money. It was also served with some fried potatoes and refried beans. All was very delicious. For about $ 9 I received all of that food and a coffee. I will most definitely be returning to La Torta soon. Check them out soon. read more

These guys deserve a post. Same place that was on Ventura Blvd. by the PG&E office. Now at the Galleria. They are in the same space that was occupied by the Mexicatessan and Bobby Salazar's. The lunch buffet is my regular experience for La Torta. It's about $10 with a soda. There is an decent selection of about 8 hot items, as well as a salad/fruit bar and desserts. I can always be satisfied with their chili verde, albondigas, rice, and boiled beans. All staples of the buffet. Service is on the spot and pretty nice as well. read more
