One of the BEST places for tortas, flautas, and smoothies in OC! *Español abajo.

I've been dining at CJ for about 8 years. The first time was the loc on State College and Lincoln, then the ine on Tustin Ave, and finally this Euclid location.

Food: Great tasting tortas! I specially enjoy the Torta Cubana with a mix of meat and tasty salsa. Next for me is Milanesa or Pierna 😋 Their beef flautas are delish, and their Tortilla Soup is bomb! 🙌 *They now give the sauce and chips separately as seen on my photos.

-Their salsa bar (with 3 salsas), grilled chiles, and lemons is top notch!

Price: They were better priced years ago, but now that they're so popular (plus inflation/MW up) prices have increased over 25%, this is noticeable with smoothies & juices.

Service: From my first visit, I noticed that their CS is NOT on par with the quality of the food. Cashiers seemed rushed and moody, EVEN ON THIS LAST VISIT. I witnessed what appeared to be the Manager to be short tempered and speaking in a rude-like tone to 2 other employees. A similar experience occurred several times at the State College location. The Tustin loc seemed to be the most friendliest and less "rushed."

-I speak Spanish, but one can sense a pro-MX/Spanish bias once inside. I get it, it's MX food, however non-MX/Latinx folks will prob like to enjoy this food, so service & consideration ought to be part of their training.

overall, their food is some of the best in OC and their orange salsa is 🔥!!

Spanish: La comida es muy buena, esp las tortas y flautas. La salsa naranja es la mas picosa. Y los jugos tienen buen sabor. El precio es algo alto, pero vale la pena. El servicio pudiera ser mejor.
