Great place for tortas. Every torta comes with beans, avocado, lettuce, tomato and mayo. Large menu, and the tortas are freshly made and nice and hot. A little pricey, but pretty large portions. I will say that it does need some much needed cleaning, but food is tasty regardless. read more

Don't let the the area deter you from coming here or your inability to speak Spanish. They do speak English here and if you do not know what a Tortuga is then definitely try this place. I got the abandonada and there was so much meat on it I was nearly full with just half of it. I am definitely going to try this place again when I get a chance. read more

Very good service, reasonable price for a good meal would definitely recommend. I was a little overwhelmed with the menu (might've just been me) so I just asked for carne asada and the hooked me right up read more

I got a 20 ounce horchata for $1.99! Great deal though their horchata isn't my favorite. It's extra creamy, sweet and milky which I am not used to. I prefer the more watery horchata. The worker there was super friendly and helpful as he could tell that it was my first time there. I tried the four ingredient torta for $7.99 called chalinga with steak, onions, chipotle sauce, franks, tomatoes and avocado. I loved the torta bread and how it was wide, flat and rectangular. There's communal table seating inside with high chairs. Tortas are served on plastic frisbee-like plates. My friends also enjoyed their chicken and egg torta called Chiva. You can get jalapeño rather than chipotle sauce if you prefer. read more

Delicious and good price for tortas. Only thing, is salsa options. They only have that Chipotle salsa as an option. Other than that, delicious food. Definitely authentic for sure. read more

Las Tortugas - Nortena Torta - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Literally food is overpriced for what you get they never answer the phone and customer service it terrible.

Las Tortugas: I've been to the Denver and Aurora locations. Taste is good and consistent, meat is fresh so is horchata. Las Tortas: been here multiple times while having the most yelp reviews. Crispy bread is better than Tortugas but the meat is not as fresh. Torta gives me stomach upset sometimes but it taste so good it's worth it. read more

We get the chipotle sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy. So good! We like the huerfinita. (Little orphan girl )

I'll start by saying good sandwich. Seemed a little overpriced and the service was lackluster. While it's not my favorite torta spot in the Denver area, it was good. Similar to some other reviews the customer service left something to be desired. The young lady behind the register was texting while I was placing my order, which meant I had to repeat my order to her an additional two times. Then, even though the place was basically empty it took a good 15 minutes to get my sandwich done. The cook and another fella were having a spirited discussion which I think added to the time it took to prepare my food. I was in no rush, and even if I was, I wouldn't complain because, ya know, I'm a coward when it comes to stuff like that. I'd give the sandwich itself four stars, but the overall experience three. I will go back because I love little neighborhood spots like this and I hope it's a little better than the first time because this place has the potential to make me a "regular." read more

This place basically serves Latin American paninis. Grilled meats from flank steak, chorizo, ham, etc. Fried eggs, fresh avocado, veggies and sauce. I recommend the chipotle sauce. Simple, great food. They also have some typical Latin drinks like horchata, jarritos, etc. The service was great as well, really friendly staff that was willing to explain everything to a non-Latin person. Overall, a great experience! Try it! read more

Las Tortugas - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place used to be good, but they are taking advantage of people. 1 slice of ham and a smidge of steak. 2 tomatoes, and nothing else.. weak at best. Never coming here again. Paid over 40$ for 3 tortas,and 3 cokes, never again. read more

No vayan a este lugar tratan a gente sin respeto y dan las órdenes mal la comida no estaba cocinada bien la gente que estaba haciendo la comida agrava partes de nuestra orden y se la comían una de las peores experiencias que eh tenido read more

Been here a few times, haven't been disappointed. The menu is in English and Spanish so you know what your ordering, and it has a lot of options. If your new, stick to something you know like double steak torta. I've tried two specialty tortas and both have been good. Just a few warning: salchicha/sausage is hot dog weenie, after you order your torta you'll be asked if you want jalapeños(they do overload with jalapeños) or chipotle sauce(great kick, definitely spicy). read more

Took forever to get our food. Food was just "okay". Customer service was bad. Wouldn't go go out of my way to come back. read more

Yo compre 3 tortas el miércoles en la noche una de jamon para mi hija una de asada para mi esposa y una norteña para mi amanecí con un dolor de panza horrible mi hija por la tarde vomito mucho mi esposa en la noche no aguantaba la panza horrible experiencia yo les recomiendo que no compren hay no se que clase de comida usen pero tengan cuidado. read more

This is the Suiza, and it's probably the best torta I have had in a while. I added some bistec with chipotle sauce. If you like spicy food. I would suggest some jalapeño on the side. Las aguas weren't that great, I had the sandia (watermelon) and it was just okay. Thankfully the torta and music was good enough to give it a 5. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Las Tortugas - a close up of a sandwich - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I called to place an order and I was told 20 minutes. When I get there the lady tells the cashier that I have to pay first before they are made. The only thing ready were my drinks. Why have the option to call ahead then? Should have told me I was gonna have to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready after I got there. read more

I thought I would put my review in the less-visited Aurora Location. This place is amazing. A real legit taste of a Mexico City torta in Denver. If you're hungry and brave try the Cubana, otherwise pick and chose your combinations of pork and other delectable meat products. A personal favorite? The Borracaha. Also they make fabulous aguas frescas which are just fresh fruit and/ or vegetables blended up in front of you. It makes Jamba Juice taste as processed and frozen and lame as it is. There's plenty of parking over here too! read more

Las Tortugas - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Food was great, tasted bomb. Liked how quick I got my food. Customer service was not good. We had ordered to pick up they got the order messed up. Couple days came back decided to go in so the order was right the lady taking the order was on her personal phone the whole time we were ordering, talking and texting. Pretty sure if she wasn't on her phone all the time the first time they would have gotten the order right. This is the only negative things I have to say about them just fix your customer service. read more

Ever since losing my Torta virginity at Las Tortas I have been craving this delectable treat. And being the curious foodie I have been wanting to spread my wings just to see if my attraction to Las Tortas is founded in fact or simply desire. In a way I feel that I have been unfaithful.. ce' la vie. The sitting area at Las Tortugas is clean and utilitarian - you can tell that this place is set up for an onslaught of customers if needed. Long stainless steel tables, stools and paper towels. I walked up to the counter and attempted to read the menu on the wall using my rudimentary Spanish skills. The lady behind the counter sensed my gringoism and handed me a menu in English. There is definitely a different selection of ingredients to choose from here - pork chops, hot dogs.... I selected the Espanola (pork, ham and 2 different kinds of cheese). I got it to go and raced home to plunk myself down and enjoy. It was good - in addition to the meats and cheeses it had the usual fixings plus I had them add the chipotle sauce, this last ingredient gave it a little spicy kick that was a nice addition. I have to admit the my heart and stomach still belongs to Las Tortas but this place is a nice fall back if I am in the neighborhood. read more

I wanted Korean BBQ, so I decided to go here. Let me explain. Grandma's Korean BBQ just a bit north on Peoria had a boiler/heater issue so I turned to Yelp for Help. All the choices for takeout left me underwhelmed and wishing I had gotten chicken nuggets at McDonald's with the kids a half an hour earlier. Now, now, don't judge. You know you at least have a small guilty pleasure over dipping into a little plastic tub of their Sweet and Sour when no one who respects you is looking. I'm definitely going back. I think I just ordered the wrong thing. It was fine, but not as mind blowing as I'd hoped. I think I just wanted Korean... read more

A coworker and I ventured out for lunch in search of tortas and thankfully, we got to Las Tortugas just in time to (sort of) beat the lunch rush. Seriously, this place was hopping! The menu is in Spanish, so once again, my limited knowledge of the language got me by. Granted I took a fellow reviewer's recommendation and ordered up the Hawaiana, I could've figured out the menu to a degree. Tons of options, so take your time! What a great torta! There just something about the combination of pork and pineapple that I love. So tasty! A torta here is a few bucks more than Tortas y Tacos up the street, but also considerably larger. Las Tortugas was a bit difficult to find: it's toward the northeast end in the square-ish strip mall on the east side of Peoria/Del Mar Circle. Plenty of parking, too. Ah, to have so many delicious tortas choices so close to work is a delightful new discovery! read more

WOW thats a lot of flavor!!!!!!! Tortuga means 'turtle', and just like a real turtle, these sandwiches have a buttery, delectable outer shell and are ramrod-full of hidden hot cheesy-meat flavor. Also, the sandwiches kind of look like turtle shells; a soft domed top, if you will. I know I will, again and again. I had the Tejana, which is chopped pork, ham, and creamy handmade oaxaca cheese, melded with refried beans, fresh tomatoes, onions, avocado, and jalapenos. If it sounds good on paper, wait till it open-hand-slaps your taste buds. I'm posting a picture of this, so check it out kids. $6.50 a sandwich is a fair price cause you are about to get meat-bombed. I will honestly be surprised if I am hungry again before tomorrow morning. Las Tortugas' Mexico City flavor will always have a place in my heart. And mouth. PS - not visible from street - this is on the northeast corner of 6th Ave & Peoria, tucked into the way back corner of the strip mall. Front door faces south to parking lot. read more

What an awesome surprise this place was! We went to the Aurora Culture Fest to eat lunch but it started raining so we had to find a plan B. I yelped this place, saw it had 4.5 stars, and off we went! The restaurant is reminiscent of Mexico, but would be considered "divey" by American standards. Don't let that fool you! This place makes some of the best food I've ever had! My boyfriend and I both ordered the Nortena and added queso fresco. I literally inhaled the sandwich. The bread was nicely crisped on the outside (and slathered in melted butter) and so soft inside. The combination of the chorizo, skirt steak, chipotle sauce, and cheese was delightful. Don't come here if you want a light meal! The sandwiches are large and filling! read more

Tucked away in the back of a sketchy strip mall, is a slice of pure heaven. Las Tortugas is a real torta shop. I have asked again and again in reviews, how the hell does Subway stay in business when there are places like Las Tortugas available? Perfectly grilled meats on fresh bolillo bread, beans, tomatoes, chipotle, mayo and avocado. Unbelievably good and addicting. Nothing special on the inside, but clean enough. I have been to both locations, and I do like the feel of the other one just a tad bit more. read more

The reason I'm giving it a one star is because since I was little every time we would come they will give you fucking horrible service people are always being a grumpy ass mood. Especially if you make a order online or over the phone. read more

Food is good but not great, there has been times when it's better. Not always consistent.

If it weren't for Yelp, I'd have no idea that behind this massive stretch of asphalt parking lot, tucked in the back of this unremarkable strip mall, lies beautiful and glorious tortas. Las Tortugas assaults the indecisive with a long menu of torta combinations - and then further complicates matters by letting you create your own combination. If you come hungry and indecisive, just pick up the menu, close your eyes and point because there doesn't seem to be a bad choice. My favorite combination is the hawaiano, since the combination of pork and pineapple will always have a place in my heart. The key here is having a quality bolillo roll and delicious condiments. Throw in some jalapenos and wash it all down with a massive agua fresca. Yum. read more

Okay so I came back after I had previously Reviewed this place cause I was itching for a Torta, the "Perrona" to be exact. I came in on a Sunday round 5 o clock and I ordered fine and everything and I asked the cashier with Red Hair for her name for this review and she gave me the Nastiest look for no Reason and she got really Huffy puffy about it as well. She looked like she'd been working all day and she was tired, she wore her emotions like a mask that's how bad this was, but that is not my prerogative I cannot remember her name because she caught me off guard with that extremely Rude look. Look "News Flash!" If you don't like Talking to people Don't Apply as a Cashier!! While the Torta was good, my Meal was ruined because of the woman cashiers attitude. Will I return? No. No thank you read more

There is absolutetly nothing Negative i can say about this place!!! The Tortas are always oh so delicious and my Favorite La agua de Horchata well i can't explain but just try it :) They also have fresh squeeze juices and they are fresh alight. i like the orange one. My usual here is La Nortena and trust me i think its the best one. read more

Pretty decent spot for a torta place. They have alot of milkshakes as well which I love more then las tortugas alone. This place is usually full of men since they have tv's always casting soccer games. during the weekend It is a bit more family oriented but not a family style restaurant. read more

My girlfriend and I were in the area and decided to give this place a try. We were glad we did. We both got great sandwiches(tortas). I went with the Hawaiian, with ham, pork, pineapple and cheese. My GF had one with chicken,cheese and avacado. We both enjoyed them and will be back. Both sandwhiches had tomato,onion and avacado on them, we didn't see on the menu where this was stated. I picked off the stuff I didn't want but it would have been nice to know before hand. The menu and employees are almost exclusively Spanish speaking, so be aware. They were nice to us but not super friendly. read more

Excellent Mexican tortas (sandwiches). I had La Camelia and it was delicious. The bread was lightly toasted and the meat and cheese was very tasty. There was also some fresh avocado on there that added a nice flavor. I did pay about $15 for the sandwich, a coke and tip which was a little pricey, but there are other less expensive options on the menu that looked good too. I suppose I didn't have to tip but when you pay with a credit card the card reader suggests a tip. I think the staff deserved it because they were friendly and they worked hard to get the orders out quickly during the lunch rush. read more

I love the food! I wish they had better service though! Cashiers ask for gratuity but can't smile or greet! I would suggest having friendlier cashiers! read more

When it first opened it was a great spot but over the years the quality of food and customer service has gone down. I was served one of worse torta ever so bad it was uneatable, the bread was stale, the meet was unchewable, and the chipotle sauce was so gross I almost threw up. And the customer service has only gotten worse as well , their staff is far from humble, they appear bothered when taking an order and are rude when speaking to you. 12$ for a torta and a drink is expensive and would be an ok price if food was good but unfortunately that's not the case and that is why I had to re rate las Tortugas and give it one star. read more

This place is great, you get plenty of food to eat. Love how they put N egg in the sandwiches.

Stopped here and lek's thai market (a block away) on my way back to springs from dia. wow, this place is really good and slightly intimidating. it was packed at around noon, and everybody in the place spoke spanish except myself. The menu is untranslated. The man at the counter speaks english just fine. my limited memory of high school helped me decipher the menu and get the goods. I had the squeezed orange and carrot juice. i prefer this to aguas frescas as it is all juice, however there are many more flavors available with aguas frescas. I also ordered the lambada torta. i believe pork, pork sausage, egg, beans, avocado, tomato, onion, and jalapeno on toasted buns. Three guys working the joint, two on the grill, one at the counter. Very simple, very good. I 've tried las tortas before as well on leetsdale, and I think i prefer this place. read more

This was the second stop for Tortas in a weeks time and this one comes in second... Don't let that fool you it was still good and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a nice Mexican sandwich. Came during lunch in the middle of the week and I walked right up to the counter and delivered my order for Hawaini because I love pineapple. The Norteña is typically the style of torta folks suggest but I think you should just pick one and start there!! read more

Probably the best torta that I've had, and I've had some good tortas. Large menu to select from. I didn't know what to order, so I asked the cashier to recommend me something. Good prices (considering how large these tortas are) and plenty of seating inside. Will be back! read more
