Tortas Locas LLC — Restaurant in Tacoma

I love Mexican food and torta de lengua is one of my favorites. I only stopped here cuz it literally had the word torta in the name. And then I was served this sad sandwich. The meat is in some kind of weird red sauce, which honestly didn't taste bad but there were these weird grilled onions that were barely even there, a couple of slices of tomato and a little avocado. And NO LETTUCE? I mean, I get that the food cost on this sandwich is going to be absolutely in the meat and having vegetables as part of this sandwich is actually really important for it to create a sense of value for the customer for a $10 sandwich. I would have went to subway for a better value and tastier meal. Most of us don't eat enough vegetables and the satisfying crunch that some simple lettuce on this sandwich would provide would definitely make the sandwich better and for sure appear fuller. Didn't much care for the way the floor looked in the kitchen from the cash register having pieces of tile missing and Corners around that were "mugroso" (dirty). Definitely...

Pretty awful all around.

First, right when you walk in the door you see an out of order soda machines and couple empty racks randomly around.

At the order counter, I asked what was on the Mexican fries. I was met with a blank stare and then she pointed at the menu at the Mexican fries.

Ordering was worse. Each menu item has numbers so now that I knew she didn't speak English, I ordered by number. Again, I was met with a blank stare and more menu pointing. She pulled the cook from the back and we got our order figured out.

We ordered the #5 toluquena torta and the #17 pork skin quesadilla. The meat on the #5 was very tough to bite through and the whole thing was very flavorless. My son ate about two bites of quesadilla and we threw the rest away. It was not good at all.

I would have complained but being met with a blank stare wasn't something I wanted to put myself through again.

Just gross,...

Anytime I get to order and speak in Spanish I am thrilled!! The #2 La Crazy Torta is like a kitchen sink torta. Everything is in that thing and it's huge! The sopes are amazing and could use lettuce on top so they brought me some! Carne asada gordita was on pointe. I don't like cilantro so it was easy to tell them to omit. They didn't have ice so we were talked into not having horchata or Jamaica. The green chile is awesome and it wasn't sweltering hot inside. I'm going to go back for a weenie torta and another mini sope with just beans cheese onion and lettuce. Can't go wrong there. Great food and amazing prices. Easy to park in front and just...
