Las Tortas — Restaurant in Glendale

A Hidden Gem That Deserves to Be on Every Foodie’s Radar!

I rarely write reviews this long, but Las Tortas in Glendale, CO absolutely earned every word of praise. If you’re looking for the perfect intersection of authentic Mexican street food, unmatched flavor, and warm hospitality, this is the spot. I’ve been here multiple times now, and every visit just keeps getting better—so much so that it feels more like visiting family than going out to eat.

Let’s start with the tortas themselves—the star of the show and the namesake of the place. These are not your average sandwiches. They’re massive, generously filled, and packed with perfectly balanced ingredients. I tried the Torta Cubana, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life. Layer upon layer of tender meats (ham, breaded steak, sausage, even a hot dog!), fresh avocado, cheese, grilled onions, and a smear of refried beans all sandwiched in the fluffiest telera bread—it’s indulgent in the best way possible.

Their carne asada fries are also next level. Crispy fries topped with juicy, well-seasoned steak, melted cheese, sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo—it’s the kind of dish you say you’ll “just have a few bites of,” and then you find yourself scraping the bottom of the tray.

But it’s not just the food that makes Las Tortas a must-visit—the vibe and service are equally fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine smiles and treated like a regular, even if it’s your first time. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do, and that care shows in every bite. I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with the owner a couple of times, and it’s obvious that this isn’t just a business for him—it’s a passion. He’ll talk you through the menu, make suggestions based on your taste, and check in during your meal to make sure everything is perfect.

I also appreciate the clean, casual ambiance. It’s not overly fancy or pretentious—just laid-back, colorful, and comfortable. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing food to go, everything is fresh, fast, and flavorful. The music playing in the background, the sizzle from the kitchen, the aroma of grilled meats—it all adds to the experience.

If you’re vegetarian or want something lighter, they’ve got options for you too. I tried a veggie torta with grilled cactus (nopales), and it was just as satisfying as the meatier ones. Add one of their house-made aguas frescas (the horchata and tamarindo are my personal favorites), and you’ve got yourself a complete and incredibly satisfying meal.

Pro tip: Come hungry. Portions are huge, and prices are super reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. I’ve brought friends and coworkers here, and every single one of them has become a fan.

In a city with no shortage of places to eat, Las Tortas stands out not just for the food, but for the way they make you feel welcome and full in the best way possible. This is the kind of place you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.
