    Torta Loca
    Nabor G.

    I placed an order of 3 tortas locas, 2 quesadillas, 4 tacos al pastor, 6 tacos of steak late evening @8:30pm Sunday. Everything was good with the order except the 3 tortas locas... i am not sure if they rushed to finish the order or if they didn't have enough ingredients but in the pictures shows what I received. Truly disappointed!!! Keep in mind I've ordered tortas here all the time during the day time and all have been delicious. Update! I went back a few months after this incident and the person in charge was more then happy to correct it! Completely satisfied with the delicious food and service.

    Ordered the following: Tostada de tinga (#31), kids quesadillas, and cubana Tortas (#3)... horrible. We didn't finish our food. The red and green sauces that they brought had a word after tastes, the soda was watered down, and after we left... we all had stomach ache all night. It was nasty, tasteless and never going back. First and last time. Antojos is still the spot.

    I am sorry. This place is quick, but the food quality, presentation, and taste are below average. While in a area that needs good, fast, desirable Mexican food, this place misses the mark.

    Monster

    The tortas... they've gone wild! The prices! The portion sizes! The crazy things they contain! It's all gone crazy, and you need to try it. Nestled in a little shop on South Tacoma Way, Tortas Locas is the 4th store of its kind to open (others in Burien, Seattle, and Renton). Sidewalk signs boast big mexican sandwiches, their chef uniformed frog adorns the window, and once you step inside large menus list most of their options in both Spanish and English. Now, as the name indicates, their signature tortas are crazy. I decided that if there's been a time to get loco since last year's Four Loko ban, this is it. I ordered the CRAZIEST OF THE CRAZY TORTAS. This fellow is combination torta #2, the priciest item on the menu ($10) and has two names depending on which language you speak: La Crazy Torta in english or Torta La Crazy in espagnol. No matter how it's said, I have the feeling you get the idea... this thing is crazy! A quick wait and this monster was brought to my table. I don't use the term monster in jest... the sandwich was bigger than my face... and I have a remarkably big head. Look inside and it's a veritable fiesta of meat. Two different animals, five meat varietals (breaded steak, chorizo, ham, pork leg, and pork head cheese), two cheeses (mozzarella and "mexican") and an egg and avocado thrown on top in case all the rest wasn't enough for you. I finished half and am still full while writing this review seven hours later. I also picked up an horchata while I was there. It was notably gritty and watery... far too sane for this establishment and not recommended. Go crazy. Go Tortas Locas.

    Food is pretty goood!!! We got Cuban tortas and carne Assad's tacos and it was allll good! Prices are comparable to other tortas but these are a whole lot better I didn't even know you can get tortas like this!!!! Definitely coming back!

    A taco!

    Carne asada tacos are Delicious!! Better than tortas. Tortillas seem to be made right there. This is the real stuff. !! -Life changing experience-add avocado and lettuce to your tacos!

    I love this place! Their tortas are fulfilling. Being a Cali girl, this place is hands down different but delicious. Great place to have a torta.

    Large selection to choose from. I had the Hawaiiana Torta. Comes with ham, pineapple, avocado, onions, mayonnaise. Pineapple wasn't grilled or anything, just looked like it was from a can. Very small amount of all the other contents too. Overall, it was "meh, okay." Wasn't very crowded when I came in, but there were people eating there and taking some to go. Your to go order comes with two salsas: red & green. Cleanliness was a 4/5. Customer service 5/5. But food just needed more flavor and more fillings.

    Took a long time for them to cook but it was sure worth it. These tortas are huge with a lot of meat!! The bread could have been better, was a bit on the chewy side for me. And I assumed there would be lettuce in it but next I will be sure to ask them. Overall, my big Mexican sandwich was super delicious and I wish I knew about this place sooner!

    I had had my eye on this place for quite some time. Tortas can be hit or miss in a lot of homestyle tiny Mexican restaurants. This was a hit but not a homer. I ordered the fried chicken Milenesa sandwich. Nice hot fried cutlet with beans, sour cream, lettuce, etc. It wasn't an exceptional sandwich with piled high toppings, but it was good and it was large. I'm glad! Because it came to 9 bucks! They split it in two for me and wrapped it up carefully. The bread was grilled and hot. They have a huge menu and lots of choices (see photos). I'd try it again and get something different next time. They give you two salsas, which is more than adequate. A red one and green one. I only took the red one because he said it was milder, but I didn't care for it because I don't like smokey salsas. It was representative good red sauce. Next time I'll take the green one made from tomatillos and green peppers and try something a bit more spicy meat-wise. Overall, I'll be back for another torta when I'm feeling it. The place is kind of a hole in the wall, too.

    1. Torta Loca (if you can finish a whole torta I applaud you).  Big portions

    The first couple times we've visited I tried different tortas. I prefer the simple carne asada torta out of the 3 different ones' I've tried. But what has got me going back is the tostadas de tinga, tacos suaderos, and my favorite out of their menu is their tinga quesadilla. The quesadilla is not the typical you'd find in most mexican restaurants(ie tacos trucks/taquerias). It's a huge corn tortilla (i prefer corn which is a plus) and comes stuffed with mexican cheese (not mozzarella like most places use), and their flavorful shredded chicken (which isn't just shredded chicken). Their shredded chicken actually is full of flavor. I also would recommend the tostadas de tinga which is the same chicken they use on their quesadillas but is prepared on a hard-shell corn tortilla and layered with chicken, lettuce, quesillo (mex cheese), and topped with sour cream. I would order 2 tostadas or go for 3 if you're really hungry. My last visit consisted of a quesadilla, three tacos suaderos (pork tacos), and one tostada and I left very happy. You can say I had a big appetite that day.

    Average tasting torta but lack of advacados and onions seen in picture :/

    What a fabulous place. Casual, authentic Mexican food. Service is fast and friendly. You order at…read morethe counter and they have a great great salsa/sides bar (think pickled veggies and onions, slaw, limes for garnish, jalapenos) and if you're eating in, they give you chips while you wait; your food is brought right to your table. I'm making it my goal to try everything on the menu but it's going to take a while. The burritos are huge and delicious and loaded with fillings and they don't skimp on the meat. Birria and Chile Colorado are my favorites, chicken is plentiful but tends to be a tiny bit on the bland side so the salsas come in handy for that. The platos are HUGE. The refried beans are the best I've had anywhere. Tacos are also great. Have not tried the fish ones yet but I have a friend who's currently addicted so I'm assuming they're good as well. I have not encountered a miss on the menu yet. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Finally tried this taqueria after hearing so many good things about it and I was a little…read moredisappointed. We had adobada, asada and chicken tacos, added a side of fried onion and serrano pepper. The adobada meat was ok, chicken was good and our favorite was the asada. I didn't like the default salsa they put on the tacos, would've preferred just onion and cilantro. In fact I didn't like any of the salsas they offered, the green salsa was the only decent one and I'm sure the orange looking salsa was on its way out, it tasted and smelled funky. Customer service was great. We might come back just for asada tacos but maybe not.

Love the dark aesthetic and chill vibes. Everyone was friendly and food was excellent. My favorite dishes are the rib eye tacos and birria beef tacos. Rib eye steak was tender and had a hint of that char grill flavor. The birria tacos and consomé was also really flavorful. We enjoyed the tequila flaming fajita and the mini flame show as well lol. The chicken and shrimps were good but similar to my experience at the South Center location, the beef was really chewy (like over cooked). I also think they served way more veggies compared to meat proportions for their fajitas. My Dad got the burrito especial with grilled chicken and it was huge! He thought it was alright and got sick of it pretty quick because of how much rice and beans there were. We also ordered the margarita flights which were served in these cute mini glasses. I thought the pineapple coconut had the strongest alcohol taste whereas the passion fruit-guava and pina azul tasted like juice (I'm not a big drinker so I thought it was perfect). The pina azul tasted similar to a flat Baja Blast from Taco Bell with a hint of alcohol. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. The only negative thing is we made a reservation at 8:00PM and came early at 7:30PM; at check in, they said at first we could get in sooner since we arrived but then quickly was told to actually wait until our reservation time (and that's totally fine and makes sense since we reserved for 8PM!!). I was just confused because the group that were walk-ins waiting got to go in before us. There wasn't anyone else waiting for a table and by the time they sat us, turns out there was plenty of open tables available... I just thought they'd want people to be seated sooner if they've arrived and had tables available since it was already 8PM and they close at 9PM lol.

    My boyfriend would always tell me that he thinks this is the restaurant that introduced him to…read moreMexican food for the first time and where he fell in love with Mexican food. We were in the area and were feeling hungry so we decided to stop by. The parking was pretty packed but had a spot or two so we were able to secure a spot. Once we entered, there was a sign that you could clearly see that said wait to be seated and it wasn't long until someone came by. We were greeted by a female hostess who smiled and professionally lead us to a booth to sit at for dinner. The menu was pretty extensive but not overwhelming as they had their alcohol drinks separate from their menu. A male server stopped by with some chips and salsa which I think is now fighting for best house made salsa that I've had in Washington. We ordered the combination dinner, I got mine with the tamale and tostada with chicken while my boyfriend got the chimichanga. We got another refill of chips which were not too salty and the perfect size to get a good chunk of salsa. We eventually had two waiters who was a young gentleman and an older gentleman but they were both so courteous and friendly. This was also probably the fastest we've gotten our food at a Mexican restaurant as it arrived maybe 8-10 minutes after we placed our order. The plates arrived nice and hot with the food portions being huge and the presentation was lovely! I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken as it felt more on the dry side for me but I also just don't like white meat and my boyfriend said it wasn't dry at all. I did love the amount of toppings on the tostada as it was stacked high with fresh ingredients on a bed of refried beans which was seasoned perfectly. The tamale was also absolutely delicious and I have had many tamales and I can say this tamale is immaculate. My boyfriend's chimichanga was delicious too from the bite I had and how he cleaned his plate. I can vouch that this place is authentic (dated a Mexican guy and their family spoiled me with amazing food and parties) and my boyfriend agrees that this spot is the perfect place for amazing Mexican food for those who are wanting to try or are hesitant. The staff here are super friendly and professional, they will even pack up your food! It just felt like going to a friend's to enjoy amazing vibes, fantastic food, and a overall good time. Definitely want to come back to try more dishes and drinks.
