Ordered: Torta ($120 pesos): carne asada, mayo, guacamole, tomato, onion, and hot sauce Aya's take: Okay, who would've thought you could get a bomb Torta next to a car wash spot!? The carne asada smelled delicious from a block away and we were ready for a quick bite. The torta itself is super fresh, warm, and soft. The carne asada is tender and they give a good portion of it. All the toppings took this torta to the next level. It was juicy, creamy, and savory. Such a great street food spot if you're in TJ! read more

Tortas Wash Mobile - Torta ($120 pesos) - Street Vendors Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

We went there yesterday, and I was disappointed. I saw the TikTok videos, and the tortas didn't look the same. The one I ate was small and square; it looked like a sandwich. The bread was soft, but the meat didn't taste good at all. What a shame. However, the service was okay. read more

Algo Bien! I ate two last time I visited Wash Mobile. Friendly staff, great vibes! They are located in the Novo parking, tortas + beer read more

So delicious and fast! The sauce they used was so good, highly recommend trying this cute spot.

Food has always been on point and a great ambience is created by the staff. Can't find a better torta any where in town! read more

Ok, the torta is good. But not great. It is small and not served on traditional torta bread, it is served on a "brioche" bun. Now I like brioche, but for a torta, juicy hamburgers, certain wet sandwiches, it just falls apart. And of course the brioche bun is small so the sandwich is smaller. The taste is very good. There is only one type of torta. So if you like cubanas, you will not find them here. The service is good and the people are friendly. read more

This was by far one of the best tortas I've ever had. The meat was very unique as it was flavored on the savory/spicy side. The torta bread was crispy and fresh. All the ingredients were also fresh and tasted amazing once you took your first bite. The location is right next to the car wash and there is some seating at the car wash so you can eat. read more

Tortas Wash Mobile - Asada Torta - Street Vendors Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

This place is delicious. Their marinated carne is the best. Amazing flavor. One of my favorite places by far.

I haven't ever had a better torta in my life. If only Seattle had a Torta de Wash. This place is very special to me as I go there every day I am visiting my family. read more

If you want a dry basic overpriced torta, then this is the place to go. Don't bother wasting your time.

So........I see that you can now review businesses in Mexico. Sweet! I was sitting here today looking at some old pictures of mine, and I came across a few from the last time I was down in Tijuana. I can't post most of them (kidding Marsha...kidding) ;-), but I'll be damned if I don't write a review and post a few pictures from the greatest little street side stand in all of Tijuana. A little back story first................... Tortas Wash Mobile was founded in 1964. From what I have read, it used to be in front of one of Tijuanas first car wash places. 50 years later, the car wash is long gone but the Torta stand is still there! It is a little unassuming cart that just sits there on the side of the street. If you are taking a taxi from the border, most, if not all the guys know where it is. If they don't, tell them to drive down Agua Caliente and drop you off at the gas station on the corner of Agua Caliente and Jalisco. Look down the street and you will see smoke filling the air. You are a hundred or so yards away from one of the best sandwiches you will ever sink your teeth into. You can only get one thing at Wash Mobile........The Carne Asada Torta. They have been doing it for 50 years and I bet it hasn't changed one bit. When you walk up to the stand, you are greeted by the whole crew. They are extremely friendly and even if your Spanish is weak, you can still get by without a problem. There are usually about 3-4 guys working. One guy grilling up the steak, one guy assembling the Tortas, one guy grabbing drinks, and one guy taking money. Its a streamlined operation for sure. You can get your Torta one of a few ways. The condiments they have are mayonnaise, avocado/guacamole, pickled onions/tomatoes and hot sauce. That's it. No need for anything else. I usually get mine with just carne asada and guacamole. I'm a simple man and this type of preparation lets you enjoy the flavors of the well marinated meat. Once in awhile I'll get it with the onion/tomato mix and some hot sauce. Any way you get it, you will surely love it. I promise! They cut a telera style roll in half and throw it on the grill to crisp it up. Once that is nice and toasty/crunchy (still soft in the middle though), they assemble your Torta, place it in a paper wrapper and hand it over. You unwrap your Torta and start to dig in. You sink your teeth into that delicious bread. You bite in and get the cool avocado along with pieces of perfectly marinated carne asada. You swallow that first bite and a smile comes across your face. You grab your Coke and take a swig to wash it down. Back into the Torta. Bread and steak and avocado, repeat over and over. Soon, you are taking your last bite. Sadness comes across you. There is only one thing left to do.............. Order another! "Uno mas, por favor"! Happy face is instantly back! Tortas Wash Mobile is only open during the morning/early afternoon hours. Don't be scared of Tijuana. Head down there in the morning and get yourself one of these Tortas. It's totally worth waiting in that long line to come back to the US. I cannot say enough about how great this sandwich is. It's so simple yet so delicious. It's without a doubt, one of my top 5 (maybe even top 3) favorite sandwiches of all time. You can get two Tortas and a Coke for a little under $9.00 (Early 2013 prices). I probably won't be able to make it down to TJ for a long long time, but my memories and pictures will keep me happy and remind me of how fantastic and delicious this Torta is! Wash Mobile, you guys are simply the best! Thanks for the great memories. Hopefully we will meet again sometime soon! read more

After eating our way through Baja for the past four days you would think the group of boss chefs would be sated. Then Tortas Wash Mobile comes rolling up, and the aromas of carne getting the asada treatment throws everyone into a full on feeding frenzy. Smoky, juicy, grilled steak torta with grilled pressed and mayonnaised telera bun, guacamole, pickled onions, fresh tomatoes and hot sauce. Some of the chefs had to eat two, and three. It was insane. My mouth is watering just writing this and I have TO STOP NOW. :-D read more

Tortas Wash Mobile - Tortas Wash Mobile!! Awesome food and service! - Street Vendors Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

This was the best carne asada torta I have ever had! Everything is fresh made so there's not even a need for refrigeration. Once everything is gone, it's gone! Simple construct; bread, meat, mayo, tomato, avocado, and pickled onions. But, the flavor was so on point! The meat had the perfect char to it and stuffed with copious amounts. All the condiments were fresh and complimented everything else in the torta. This is the spot to be. It's the only thing they serve and that's the only thing they need to serve. People come here to get some damn good tortas. Buy the sandwich; stand on the sidewalk and stuff your face with delicious bread and meat. It's a must try and y'all should go get it! read more

Tortas Wash Mobile - Street Vendors Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

I was so lucky to be staying near this culinary landmark that I was first in line on my second day in Tj. The cart opens around 8, but the smoky smell of fresh grilled carne asada draws you in by 7:30. The 3 or 4 guys were so friendly, outgoing, and helpful. I researched Yelp and figured out how and what to order before I got there... which is a carne asada torta. Everything is made to order and the bread is fresh baked. I got mine with the usual suspects... mayo, avocado, and pickled onions. I should have skipped the tomatoes, but that's neither here nor there. This might be my favorite sandwich of all time! read more

This place is tricky to find and closes early. I got there at 1:30 and they only had enough for 2 more tortas. I am not an expert on tortas, but it was not like a torta I am use to having. Kinda reminded me of a pizza place that used pizza dough to make the bread for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. . Not a typical cheesesteak, but still real good. Wash toast the bread over charcoal and the meat is kept in a broth so it remains tender and flavorful. The one drawback is the meat is placed wet on the sandwich and can make the bread mushy. Something they added gave it a sweet taste I didn't care for. It might have been the marinated tomatoes. Other than the torta they offer a soda or an aqua. The Aqua I had was horchata and it actually stole the show it was that good. $5 for a torta and a drink. read more

This place is a must stop on your foodie trip of Tijuana. The epitome of a "puesto". They only have one kind of torta and that is carne asada. The one question you get asked is yes or no avocado and mayonnaise. Other than that theres not much to order. Carne asada torta with avocado mayonnaise and the bread. They serve it to you open faced in case you would like to add pickled purple onions or tomatos. The bread is excellent. Nothing heavy or bulky. The star of this torta is the meat, as it should be. The meat has a little sweetness to it. Definitely different definitely good. A must stop in your tour of Tijuana. Can't wait to go back again! I had the horchata to go with my torta. It's made daily. Real good as well. Overall I loved this place. read more

The torta con todo is amazing. Just pure, spicy, juicy, meaty goodness served in perfectly toasted bread. I don't know what more anyone could ask for. read more

The best Carne Asada Tortas ever. I was brought here by my dad when I was a boy, that was over 30 years ago, never stopped going. Nothing comes close to the marinate of the meat and the charcoal smoky flavor overall. You prepare it yourself your choice of ingredients avocado, tomato, purple onions, and the hot sauce thats it, take a bite and enjoy! read more

I love love the Tortas. The location is only open from 8am to around 2:30-3pm. They only have one type of torta but don't let that discourage you because you will not regret after you taste the juicy tender meat. I don't know how they marinade the meat but the taste is so unique that you'll want more than one or you'll make it your spot during your visits to Tijuana. I always ask for my bread to be extra toasty and to include all. The sause (salsa) is mild not spicy but if you want extra spice you can add extra sauce or grab individual chiles. I've taken family and friends and both have nothing but Good things to say about the taste and deliciousness that I get asked to drive them to Tijuana just to eat the tortas. If you drive your car you can get a car wash while you eat, I do that to avoid looking for street parking. If you decide not to get a car wash you can always find parking on the side streets. The location is only 5-10 minutes from the border. You can use yelps directions to arrive. read more

Terrible. Took forever to get the food and when we got it, there was more gristle than meat. Plus, when we asked how much, they charged us $30 for sodas!! Thirty dollars!!!! read more

Good tortas. They marinate the meat in teriyaki sauce or something. They are small tortas comared to other placed and kind of expensive because of that. 45 pesos if I remember. Order 2 per person. read more

I would go back here again in a heartbeat! The flavors were incredible. The bread was fresh and cooked to perfection. The service was great and I've decided that the food and service in baja is top notch. Anyone living in SD who's visiting TJ, do yourself a favor and stop by this little car wash and torta stand for an authentic baja mexico street vendor experience! read more

The tortas are good, but I find them a bit expensive since there is only one type of torta and no place to sit. I recommend them if you have to go somewhere and have to eat on the way or if you take them home (in my case to the hotel). The service is always quick and friendly, and the stall is clean, so really the only bad thing is their lack of seats (for me that is a really bad thing, therefore the rating). read more
