JC Tortas — Restaurant in Las Cruces

Absolutely delicious! So good that we decided to come back 2 days later before we leave New Mexico.

We got their asada torta. The bread is so soft and fluffy, almost like melting in your mouth. Very lightly toasted, just enough for a little crunchy outside and soft and fluffy inside. Good portion of meat.

We also got their carne El pastor taco and buche taco. First time we were here, they said we can choose up to 2 meats so we did carne El pastor and buche. The second, we just get a full (4 tacos) carne El pastor and a full order of buche.

The carne el pastor taco... The spice they use is very special. It tastes with a kick of sour but very fragrant. I don't know what spice they use but all I know is I can't stop eating. The meat is not dry, and very extremely flavorful. The buche has similar spices but without the sour. Adding lime to buche definitely elevates it's flavor. Lots of meats. we went to other places ordered a family size, and the meat in that family size (good portion) is still not as many as JC tortas.

Price: carne torta $8.99 tacos (4) $15.99

Absolutely amazing food. Will definitely come back whether we are...

When I ordered here I was unsure of what to get because there was so much to choose from. I've never had a torta before and I regret not trying it especially when choosing to come to this restaurant that is known for their tortas. I ended up ordering a Red Chile Colorado burrito with beans and I regret it. The Red Chile meat had no flavor because it didn't have enough salt. Also the beans were dry and disgusting. I was very disappointed. But the service was good even though it was hard for me to communicate with the person taking my order because I don't speak Spanish. However the guy taking my order gave me a free Sandia drink which I thought was so sweet because I didn't want to have to pay $7 for the drink. I ended up giving the burrito away since I couldn't finish it because it wasn't satisfying. Also their burritos are expensive here because the one I ordered was $7.99 and it wasn't even good so I won't be ordering here again unless it's to...

Food is cooked fast, everything made to order including the aguas frescas and fresh fruit liquados (shakes). Menu has a Huge variety, from tacos al pastor to shrimp cocktails, aguas frescas to mexican cokes, and homemade green and red sauces. Its cheap, its fast, best of all its goood, they take cards and cash, i believe DoorDash aswell. They Are open later than what it says on here btw, I've passed by around 5:30pm and the OPEN sign will still be glowing. Parking is small but theres enough room around the block to accommodate more vehicles. PS. Ask to go easy on the cilantro, they Will add a handful to the tacos. The Pool table is just for decoration, it releases most of the balls, not sure about the oldschool jukebox though...
