Have the worst customer service ever. The place was dirty to dine in. They pretended like they couldn't understand English and didn't give us what we paid for. VERY RACIST!!!!!!!! read more

If there's one thing I love, it's a torta. More than tacos, more than burritos, etc etc. And these guys are legit with their tortas. Always go for the Carne Asada and it's quality here. Salsa bar is a great touch if you want to spice it up some more. Horchata is solid as well. Been here about 3 times in the last 2 years and so far so good. read more

I have been coming to this place for years, 2 times I have put complait for reasons which I am going to comment on, it is unpleasant to see people asking customers for money outside the door and you do not have the courage to evict them I am not a sister of charity work very hard to have my money nobody gives me anything so owner or managers do something for your business it is really pathetic to see tramps at your door read more

The food here is always fantastic. I usually get the chicken flautas or the burrito Al pastor. Both great choices

This place sucks don't come this is the worst torta I have ever tried they put no avocado,cheese or beans on it

My go to for authentic Mexican food! I live the nachos and the tacos, but this place has it all!

WHAT. THE. HELL. I've lived in Atlanta for 2 1/2 years and I just discovered this place. I feel like I've missed out on 2 1/2 years of tacos. I just got tacos, but I'll be back for tortas. The al pastor tacos are to die for. I got it with the pineapple that it's roasted with, as well as queso, and I would highly recommend that combo to anyone and everyone. I also got a chicken and carne asada, both great. But that al pastor.... They have a salsa bar with the usual suspects, but it's still probably my favorite bar I've been to. I have no idea why they serve macaroni salad but I am really into it. Go now. read more

Tortas translates loosely into sub, hogie, hero - you understand, yes? Here subs are around 6-7 bucks, depending on what you pick. Its been a really clean place the times I've been there, which is usually lunchtime. I beleive they are open until one AM on the weekends, which saddens me when I am in bed at Little Five. Wanting the torta. Needing the torta. The Crazy Sub also sells great tacos, at about 2 bucks a pop - the nice double layer authentic type. Normally they come with the wonderful fresh cilantro and onions, although today it came with cheese and lettuce (did they think I wanted it that way because I am teh IT nerd?). If you're new, try the Tacos Al Pastor, or Sub of the same name - i think the sub even comes with cheese and avocado. The spicy red pork is ridiculously good, and its not too hot. The steak and chicken are also good, as are the carnitas type. Have fun, when we bring coworkers for the first time, we usually get them the Three Amigos - our madeup combo of Steak, Chicken and Al Pastor tacos. This usually guarantees a convert. If your not refluxing, get it with onions and cilantro (like you're supposed to dammit), and then use the very thin green chili salsa from the dipping bar. You will gain much respect from my nerd homies. Speaking of salsa bar, there are approximately 12-15 out at any time, with fresh lime, cilantro, onion, and [other vegetable things I am unable to name for you] sliced up. Enjoy. Oh, and your order number will be called out in Spanish at the counter, so know your numbers en espanol and have a plan for when they go past 100. I usually just run out, but you can probably develop a better plan. read more

Did you know? A torta is a mexican sandwich filled with meat, avocado, lettuce, cheese and is served on top of toasty, crusty bread. It's mexican, but doesn't taste as mexican as like tacos or burritos. Maybe, because there aren't any beans. I came to this place on a Friday night and it was pretty busy starting at 7:30pm. You go up to the counter to order from a menu that's been translated to English -- so there's no big deal if you dont speak Spanish. However, we did get some weird stares considering we were the only asian ones there. I ordered a spicy pork torta, which was absolutely roasted to perfection. I added a bunch of salsas to every bite from the salsa bar, which has about 6-8 different levels of spicyness as well as different types of chilis (red, green, orange, etc). They also have additional toppings like onions, jalapenos, whatever... even like sweet potatoes to eat. In addition, the place was so surprisingly clean! I always like to go to hole in the walls, but I hate having to question about how sanitary the place is. It's really really really clean and new. By the way, it can be hard to find if you dont know that area -- its behind the Penang in the Hoa Binh, Pho Bac, Viet Tofu shopping center. There's plenty of safe parking. Overall for about $5.50 for a great, tasty sandiwch, I'd come back to try the other options - chips, authentic horchata, or some type of deep fried burrito thing. Plus, its open late -- 5am on Friday - Saturday or Sunday? We all now have an alternative to that korean restaurant that has bad service & bad food. You know what I'm talking about. read more

Te quiero mucho Las Tortas Locas!!! My husband brought me here over three years ago and my life hasn't been the same. I've tried almost everything. Tortas- big and filling, they have about 20 different ones. The pastor and the Hawaiian are my favorite. Quesadillas- very big my two year old loves them he eats two pieces and takes a nap lol. The meat is really seasoned well I'm not really a fan of flour tortillas but I like their's a lot. Salads- The loca salad is sooooo good! I get the steak salad it comes with queso fresco, tomatoes, avocados, olives, and tortilla strips it is HUGE and just pour some salsa on top and heaven! Tacos- the pastor tacos are to die for! And so are the chicharones and salsa verde. Flautas- They are super long like a taquito on steroids. They top it with lettuce, cheese, avocados, and tomatoes. I love theses most of the time it's all I get. Salsa- OMG!!! Delicious! The avocado one is so spicy and so good! Sometimes I just come to get salsa when I cook at home. I love their habanero onions too! Drinks- the mango juice is amazing! My husband loves the Jamaican (hibiscus) drink and tamarind (no me gusta). The horchata tastes like liquid diabetes but I love it! You can't go wrong with a Mexican restaurant that Mexicans actually go to. read more

Delicious!!! a great atmosphere cool salsa bar and great food btw i don't speak ANY SPANISH and did just fine just don't be ignorant and understand that english is their second language....how well would you do if I threw you into South America? read more

This place is a hidden gem in my neighborhood. Perhaps not the best torta in the neighborhood; however, it may be the best torta for the money ($5.50). A torta, for those not familiar, is Spanish for "turtle," it is a mexican sub type sandwich filled with your choice of meat, avocado, lettuce, cheese and is served on top of toasty / crusty bread. Some places put a refried bean spread and / or sour cream based condiment on their versions but this place does not. A torta may be Mexican on origin but it doesn't taste like typical Mexican cuisine as do tacos or burritos. I went here on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30 pm and it was buzzing with activity. You order at the counter to order from an overhead menu printed in both English and Spanish. I did get some odd stares considering I was the only non-hispanic / non-latino in the place. I ordered a steak torta, in which the meat was grilled to perfection. I added a bunch of different salsas (from the salsa bar) to every bite. The salsa bar is fantastic and has about 6 to 8 different salsas with varying levels of spiciness / heat. There are also different types of condiments, salads (cold macaroni salad is deliciously different and fresh) and relishes of various colors (red, green, orange, etc). They also have traditional fresh toppings like carrot, radish, cucumber, lime, onion and jalapeño (pickled and fresh). The place is surprisingly bright and clean. I enjoy going to dark, hole in the wall dives; however, I also don't like not knowing how unsanitary a place might be. This place can be hard to find if you dont know the area well; it is behind Penang in the Hoa Binh, Pho Bac, Viet Tofu shopping center. There is plenty of safe parking. For about $5.50 - $6, you get a great, tasty sandwich, I will be back to try the other sandwich options. I hear that it is open late - until 5am on weekends. read more

That green guacamole looking sauce at the salad bar is like CRACK. Absolutely delicious. I could drink a whole gallon of that stuff. I ordered the Flautas. It's basically 2 fried corn tortilla's wrapped with chicken, tomato, cilantro, lettuce and other stuff inside. The tortilla's were fried perfectly.. it was still soft in the middle but yet crispy. Chicken was AMAZING.. very juicy and tender. Eat it with the green sauce = HEAVEN. I also ordered the mango juice. Not even kidding.. but that mango juice tasted like they squeezed real fresh mango's. I really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it if you want something easy, fast, and cheap. I can tell this place was super authentic, they even called out the order numbers in spanish (luckily I knew a few numbers in spanish). When I walked in, the entire restaurant was basically filled with hispanic's. I felt a little out of place. But if you're willing to look past it.. go in and order the Flautas!! read more

Some of the best Mexican (?) food I've ever had. What distinguishes them from run-of-the mill is that they toast up their burritos and they have an (authentic?) salsa bar with condiments (peppers, sauces, etc.) that's just really really good. I helps to speak Spanish when ordering. read more

Oh man, the Loca Salad is the best taco salad I've ever had. I added avocado per another yelp recommendation. Note they also have a killer salsa bar. They call the order numbers in Spanish! As an outnumbered gringa I felt completely welcome and at home. read more

Las Tortas Locas - Oh man, the Loca Salad is the best taco salad I've ever had. I added avocado per another yelp recommendation. - Mexican Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

SO LOVES Mexican food... me, not so much. So, when he suggested Mexican for lunch, I quickly grabbed my phone and turned on my Yelp app. I wanted something good, but not to the point where I would be babying my glass of water and twirling my straws because everything is covered in spicy, watery salsa (this happens more than I'd like to admit). Found Las Tortas Locas in the shopping center behind Penang and Hoa Binh Supermarket. Parking was easy enough. We walk in and noticed right away that this place is pretty spotless. I was impressed, because not many places on Buford Hwy can boast this! The cashier spoke no english to us. In fact, in rapid Spanish she asked if we would be dining in or take out. I managed to muster up enough of high school Spanish to tell her it was a dine in. We decided on getting a variety of things to try them out. I had the philly style tortas, SO had the taco combo and an herecha (sp?). I asked for a sweet tea for my drink but the cashier (who greeted us in Spanish) gave me a tamarind tea. Now, I don't usually go for the tamarind, it's taste is very weird to me so of course I did not drink this. SO loved his meal. The rice and beans portion was extremely small though.The corn tortilla was his favorite, along with a salsa bar. The bar itself is pretty small, but very well stocked. I wish that there was a sign or even a logical order of putting the salsa in mildest to hottest and the small cups they provide you with are ridiculously small. The herecha ended up being something similar to a flat bread pizza. It had meat, salsa and shredded lettuce on top. I took a bite, but it just wasn't something I liked. This was fine because SO devoured it as soon as I said no. My torta was ok. The filling was pretty good, but the bread was overwhelming and the bread vs. meat ratio was not good. There is cheese inside, but then there is also a slice of white cheese that is NOT melted which kinda was weird. There is also some kind of bean paste inside which I am not used to or fond of. As we were finishing up our lunch, the place became absolutely packed with people and their kids. And like the other reviewers, we were the only non natives. But dont worry, the signs are in both English and Spanish. read more

Stumbled across this place around midnight on a Friday. Line was long and parking lot full so I knew it must be good. Food was excellent and Salsa Bar was on point! Torta was perfect and hot! read more

This really is a crazy place. It was super loud with TVs and people having a good time. Not much on the menu for vegetarians. I had the beans and rice and some chips. The beans and rice were really good and had no visible meat in them. Megan had a torta that was a breaded and fried piece of meat. She said it was good but was wishing she had ordered some other meat product. They have a lot of variety here and a giant salsa and condiment bar. I will try this place again. read more

I was a little sad to see that there are so few vegetarian options on the menu. Also, the one that I did find--the cheese torta--was pretty good, but it was too simple. I would have preferred more ingredients and the cheese to be melted. All that being said, if meat is your thing, you have a lot of great options. And, the salsa bar is well kept. It has a lot of options on it, and it's very clean. You might want to refresh your knowledge of Spanish numbers. They easily took my order in English, but when my order was ready, the order number wasn't called out in English. read more

A family favorite! We've been to Tortas Locas HUNDREDS of times over the years. Great Mexican food, slightly Americanized. Every thing is delicious and every time I have a visitor in Atlanta I always take them here and they beg me to take them again when they come back. Delicious tortas, flautas, tacos, salads, nachos & more. My fav dish is a Norteña Torta (thin breaded steak) with a big cup of horchata. Yum! read more

Best burrito ever!! My boss told me how great this place is and I has to see for myself. I got a steak burrito with rice and beans, it was absolutely amazing! It was full of tasty meat and huge (all for $5.99) the salsa bar was great too. If you want fast yummy food definitely come here, I know I will! read more

Wham bam shabam! Yum! Tortas Locas = Crazy Tortas! Which also translates to awesome Mexican sandwiches. Not your traditional American sandwich at all though. Which is good. They're awesome! Oh I said that already. Well, they also have tons of salsas/sauces to boot. Dress it up how you like it. Drink this drink: Horchata. It's a cinnamon-y sweet rice milk drink. I think they're originally from Spain, but they are also in Tortas Locas. Drink it. Refreshing, lightly sweet. Ambient statistics: There's hispanic tv goin, which is great! If you're in the mood for a delicious sammich... Look no further. read more

Authentic mexican food. So not expect this place to be as nice as an American fast-food place - no guarantee that they will speak English either. Get a side order of chips and salsa and try every kind of salsa they have. read more

By far one of the best Mexican places on BUHi! Any and all of their burritos are delish, I prefer the steak! The coolest part is that they have a giant FREE authentic salsa bar complete with homemade crema sauce. I also like to order their salsa in extra large containers to bring home because it's delish and made fresh. Make sure you know your Spanish though because their numbers for orders are only called out in Spanish and you'll miss it! read more

This is my favorite Mexican food restarant in Doraville! The make the longest flautas I've ever seen on this side of the U.S. Border lol 0.0 I always have one of their fresh water drinks.. agua de Mango is my fave & their Chocoflan for dessert is delicious! :) I often call and order first and my meal is al ways ready read more

Well done, Atlanta! You've turned this LA taco-snob into less of a geographical taco-snob. The best thing about this delicious eatery is the massive, super-tidy/clean condiment-salsa bar, which includes crema, pasta salad (weird, but welcome!), radishes, dozens of salsas, sauces and more. The tacos are huge, excellent and cheap, as is the quesadilla. Obvs the Tortas are awesome too. The chicken meat is well-flavored and blubber-free! They have Mexican cokes and desserts (yet to try). It's in a low-key ambiance-free strip mall shop, but that's my fave way to eat Mexican food, unless it's on an overturned crate outside the taco truck. Excellent. read more

I ordered through postmates and gave specific instructions of no onions. Once the order was delivered there were onions everywhere. I called and the lady who answered could barely speak English and after 3 mins of trying to understand hung up the phone in my face and never answered again. I ended up still having to go up to the restaurant and by this time I wanted my money back because I've already paid postmates to deliver and tipped the driver for nothing.They acted as if they couldn't understand me and just remade the order. Horrible service and hanging up was unexceptable. read more

Mmmm. I thoroughly enjoyed Las Tortas Locas. I couldn't decide between the Nortena, Mexicana and Texana tortas but finally settled on the Mexicana (steak and ham with fresh cheese). It was truly delicious. The ends of each piece of bread were just a tad harder than I would have liked, but other than that I have zero complaints. The salsa bar is completely amazing. I would have liked the salsas to have been labeled, but not having them labeled was OK too. I just sampled each and every one. The spicy pickled onions are a great addition to your torta. Prices are right, food is good. I'll be back. read more

I ate here for the first time today. I was craving authentic Mexican cuisine, and location was extremely close proximity to my job. Upon entering, I was greeted in Spanish, which was cool because Im fluent enough to get by in a restaurant setting. I ordered the lunch nachos with grilled chicken. The meal itself was just basic. From the presentation to the taste and seasoning of the chicken. They also provide one ounce cups for salsa. To get enough salsa for my nachos, I would have needed to fill up 20 cups, with the three ounce spoon provided. I didn't have the time or the patience. When ordering to-go they should offer a larger salsa container. I already paid for & and was charged for ordering to-go. Lastly, it wasn't until after I ordered that I realized the health score in the restaurant was a 85. At that point, I was just ready to go. I had already paid, so upon receiving my food, I left, went back to work and prayed over the food and the hands that prepared it. read more

I love this little sandwich shop. It's very convenient to my house and they stay open late. BONUS! I loved it and will be back.

Tortas and tacos both are really good. The variety of options is probably my favorite thing. The sauce bar is nice as well.

This is a the first time actually having a mexican sandwich. My guess is tortas is the mexican (spanish) word for sandwiches. I had the sandwich with spicy pork. The sandwich was not spicy but OK. I also tried the mango and horchata drinks which were pretty good. I think the salsa bar is a winner though. They had a lot of different kinds of salsa. The tomatoes and onions were pretty good. In retrospect, I probably should off load up my sandwich to improve the taste, but I am not a big fan of eating big messy sandwiches. I also tried the their desserts. It was basically a cake soaked in milk. Interesting combination if you never had it before. read more

Excellent Torta. I'm not a professional Torta eater or anything, but I've had a few in my life. I really enjoyed the bread on this one. I think no matter what nationality your sandwich is, the bread makes or breaks it. If you are low carbing...this is not the stop for you. The bread is about an inch thick, maybe more. It's tuff enough to hold the innards of amazing steak, cheese, peppers, avacodo, or whatever you put in yours...but soft enough not to cut the top of your mouth. I'd visit again for sure. read more

I live in the area and I love tacos, so Las Tortas Locas was a real treat to find!! I haven't tried a torta, sandwich, yet, because I couldn't wait to try the tacos. I had a pastor and a spicy pork, both were delicious with onions and cilantro. A chicken taco comes with cheese. The tacos are about $2.00 each, so they are a steal. There is an extensive salsa bar too. The ambiance is pretty much like a fast food restaurant, but it was clean and the staff were aiming to please. They served no alcohol, which would of complimented the tacos. I highly recommend. However, look close for the restaurant, you can't see it from Chamblee - Tucker, it's on the south side of Chamblee Tucker between Shallowford and Buford Highway. read more

The food is authentic and excellent. I've tried most of all their tortas and they were all delicious. Their hor chata is also really yummy. My favorite part is the salad bar they have where they make this pasta salad that's awesome. Can't remember all the names of the things ive ordered but I have not been disappointed one bit! read more

I love this place. I have always orderd one of the many tortas locas from the menu. Although the menu will state something like steak and cheese, the sandwiches always include other items like avocado. They have a large salsa bar with about 8 tasty salsas. The biggest problem with the salsas is they all taste so good, it is difficult to decide which one to use. I usually pour some of the salsa on each bite of the sandwich, and vary from bite to bite. Another way to enjoy the salsas is to use them as a dipping sauce for their terrific fries. The fries can also be ordered with queso, so that is another dipping option that is available. So far, I have only covered one side of the salsa bar. The other side of the bar is a small salad bar. Not your typical salad bar, but more of a Mexican variation. It includes. Roasted jalapenos, Pickled carrots, pickled onions, cucumbers, and macaroni salad. I usually grab a few slices of carrots to snack on while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. This is a Mexican establishment. I am usually the only gringo in the place, and even though I do not speak Spanish, I never have problems placing an order. Picking up the order can be more of a challenge, because the cook calls out the order number in Spanish. Not too big of a deal, because you can always show him your receipt to confirm the number. The challenging part is there are two different order numbers on each receipt, and I can never figure out which one is the one that gets called out. read more

Las Tortas Locas is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city. When items are paired with the sauces at the bar, things take off. It's a definite party in your mouth. Personal favorites are the queso and charizo tacos drowned in green sauce. read more
