Description

Specialties

Whether you’re new to the Torta, or have tried Tortas before, you’re in for a treat with our authentic Guadalajaran Tortas.

A Torta is a Mexican sandwich, served on an oblong 6 – 8 inch toasted sandwich roll, called telera. Tortas are served hot. Common ingredients may include, but are not limited to:

Milanesa Pork Loin Ham

Chorizo Hotdog Fried eggs

History

Established in 2008.

Las Tortas is the brainchild of Guillermo Campillo and Tymen Schreuder, two long-​term friends in the Denver area. Guillermo is originally from Guadalajara, Mexico. A few years ago, he took his friend Tymen to Guadalajara and introduced him to the famous «Torta.» Tymen fell in love with the Torta and together, the two began the process of bringing authentic Mexican Tortas to Colorado.

Our meats at Las Tortas are fresh, never frozen. We marinate our chicken, steak, and pork in a delicious orange-​lime-​chipotle sauce, adding a distinct flavor to our Tortas. Our milanesa is specially marinated in a creamy herb sauce and hand-​breaded. We slice our tomatoes and onions daily, and scoop out slices of fresh avocado when we prepare your Torta. Our own authentic chipotle sauce tops off your Torta.

We hope you enjoy these delicious Mexican Sandwiches called Tortas. Whether it’s your first Torta, or you’re an experienced Torta aficionado, we think you’ll love these sandwiches!

My friend recommended this place for lunch. I am always open to try something new and different.
So what exactly is a Torta? It is a Mexican sandwich served on a warm toasted roll. My friend and I got a Torta de Jalisco that had Steak and Chicken with Mayo, Avocado, and Tomato. Now you’re thinking. What a basic sandwich but OH MY GOD. Talk about a mouthgasm!!! The portion was huge enough for us to share one. I got full from eating just half of the Torta.
Thinking we could eat more, we actually ordered two Tortas. The next one was called the Las Macha had Pork Carnitas, Chicken, Chorizo, Hot Dog, Fried Egg, Onion, Avocado and Tomato. Lord Jesus this one was also a winner!
I gave it 5 stars because these sandwiches were simple yet amazingly good.

By far my favorite torta place in Denver. I initially gave it 4 stars because i’ve had a torta here or there that is better, and assumed i would eventually find a better one in Denver. I have not. Due to being my favorite in the area, upped it to a 5.

Found this spot looking for something else… Oh, what a find! Believe all of the other reviews when they say that these are the best Fortas in town. It’s no lie. My boyfriend and I had the pork tortas… all the way. They have pork loin and pulled pork. OMG! It felt like I inhaled the first half, so I slowed down. My boyfriend obliterated his and then order the pork and chorizo. I didn’t take a picture because it was mostly gone y the time I began writing this review. The place is small and clean. The staff is friendly and engaging. Aside from delicious, the food is hot and fresh. This will become a regular stop for is on our jaunts to Denver.

OMG! Holy sh– ! Eat here. Go.
We were in the mood for good, cheap, hole in the wall food. We Unilocaled «best sandwiches» and this was number 1. There’s a reason. ITS AMAZING.
We walked in on a Saturday night. The place was full. But not packed. We were confused about what to order so we pulled out Unilocal again and started reading the reviews. Everybody said get the La Macha. I mean, every single person. So we did. OMG! Thee BEST sandwich I’ve had. I was ripped it reluctant when ordering after I read the description and saw that it had hotdogs. Who would put hotdogs on a sandwich? But I ordered it anyway and oh boy, am I glad that I did. I want to fly back to Denver just to eat that sandwich.
The sandwich is huge. There is no way one person should eat the whole thing by themselves. Me and my boyfriend split a half and ordered a side of fries. They gave me more fries then any restaurant has ever given me. It was literally a whole basket full of fries. I mean the whole plate! Our food cost may be $ 15 total. But it definitely tasted as if it cost more than that. The sandwich alone tasted at least like $ 12 worth of sandwich. It’s humongous! And oh so delicious. And the fries are crispy just the way I like.
An amazing spot.

Wow, I didn’t know Denver could do tortas like this. Been here twice and loved the mexican sandwiches both times. Plenty of meat and flavor. Bread is toasted to perfection. The tortas are about $ 7-​$ 9 but they are huge and really fill you up. The hot sauce is quite spicy so watch out for that.
If you check in, you get 10% off.

«This is definitely five stars» my wife said after a break in the prolonged silence caused by the deliciousness of her sandwich.
«Heck yea it is.» I replied.
This place is incredible. Some of the best sandwiches in Denver.

After trying Las Tortas, if I had to choose between a panini and a torta, this Mexican sandwich would win every time. It’s strange that having lived in San Diego for all these years, I always opted for the burrito over the torta. This might be a game-​changer. After much hemming and hawing over the various meat combinations, I settled on the Norteña. This torta, nay, gourmet Mexican sandwich, was filled with steak milanesa (breaded meat), Mexican cheeses, avocado, grilled onions, tomatoes, and refried beans. The refried beans threw me off a bit and was something I probably could have done without, but I did ask for the works. The bread was perfectly grilled without having the sharp, crispy consistency of toasted panini that may at times cut your gums. You also get a grilled jalapeño that replaces your typical pickle. It wasn’t too spicy if you forwent eating the seeds. No Mexican meal is complete without the addition of Mexican Coke, straight from the glass bottle, of course. Overall, it was a decently satisfying meal for a great price. Don’t forget to check-​in with Unilocal to receive 10% off your meal.

These are the real deal. Warm, fresh off the grill, and really tender meats. I got the «Suiza», which was chicken and ham, and my g/​f got a beef one. She is from El Paso originally, and said these are as good as or better than the ones she used to get down there. The place was packed, with a steady stream of to-​go orders also.

Excellent! The husband and kids had a steak torta and loved them. I had a chicken salad and wasn’t disappointed. The dressing on the salad was great. It was spicy but I like it, so if not used to hot may want to ask for something else.
This was the first time we were here but it won’t be our last next time we are in Denver we will make sure to stop by again.

Oh heavenly torta, where have you been all my life?!
I’ve passed by Las Tortas for about four years and have had it bookmarked for almost that long. I’ve driven by and thought «One of these days I’m gonna pop in» but it never happened until yesterday. My friend and I wanted to grab a quick bite and she is pretty adventurous and trusting of my recommendations so we stopped by for lunch. It was noon and only one table was open so that was a positive sign that we chose right.
You walk up to the counter, order then they call out your number. Even though I grew up in South Florida and took four years of spanish, I’m still not too confident of my spanish tongue so I tried to stick with a sandwich name that I could say without sounding like too much of a gringa, Lorena Herrera, you’re easy to say so why not?
Lorena kicks ass, thats it.
The torta was absolutely delicious, packed with meat, cheese, tomato, avocado and onion. I added a little hot sauce and pickled jalapeños and those took it to a whole other level.
I ate the whole thing, loved it and kinda wanted seconds. I almost went back for seconds… but the line was six people deep and now I know why, Las Tortas is the bomb! Do yourself a favor and come to Las Tortas… and grab a donut next-​door afterwards!

After reading the reviews for this place I was beyond excited to go but sadly it was a but of a disappointment. Don’t get me wrong the total was pretty good but nothing to rave about. I think it really came down to both the meat and the bread being to dry. The flavors were there but they just didn’t come out. My friend got the al pastor and said he only got two tiny pieces if pineapple. Since this place is so close I’m going to give it another chance but I won’t be as excited about it.

My bf and I stopped by here for lunch after the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. There was a Unilocal discount going on here, yay! We got these:
Norteña — «steak, milanesa, and Mexican cheese PLUS all of their regular garnishes of refried beans, mayo, tomatoes, grilled onion, avocados, melted jack and chipotle sauce served warm grilled panini style»
Jalisco — «chicken and steak with cheese, mayonnaise, tomatoes, refried beans, onion & spicy sauce on the delicious bread.»
It was my first time trying tortas so I didn’t know what to expect. And I really liked it, especially the hot pressed bread… and the Nortena was just the common favorite among Unilocalers. The mayonnaise in the Jalisco was too much for my bf though, but fine for me. These were so filling that we both agreed that we should have just shared one torta instead.

Ah yes, my first time at Las Tortas was confusing to say the least. So wanted to share some wisdom with you all, now that I have been here a few more times. There are only tortas at Las Tortas. Go figure! Everything on the menu is different variations of tortas, Mexican-​style sandwiches. This may seem obvious, as in the name. But I was confused and took it upon myself to ask the employee if there were any other items on the menu, in which he replied «no, only tortas.» Haha! So to save you the embarrassment, do not ask such silly things.
So, a whole menu of tortas! How fantastic! Super juicy meats! But greasy, so if you are going to eat here, plan accordingly. Not a good day to wear skinny jeans or have any productivity after your meal. Food coma begins shortly after eating your first half of the sandwich (they cut them in half). So you either scarf down the second half quickly before falling into a deep slumber or you wrap it up and save it for tomorrow (which is probably the best bet, but too delicious to do).

If you are trying Tortas for the first time, I highly suggest this as the place to introduce you to possibly the best sandwich ever invented. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I randomly drove to this place after Unilocal suggested it to me but boy am I glad I did! Definitely a mom and pop shop where locals clearly like to chill. You know it’s gonna be a great experience when you look around and there are Ricky Martin videos playing on every screen in the restaurant.
After possibly 10 minutes of being crazy confused looking at the menu, the guy at the counter laughed at me and told me to get the Norteña which is pretty much a steak torta with avocado, cheese, jalapeños, and a possibly eggs, I could not tell but each and every savory bite was delicious… so delicious that I honestly would fly back to Denver just for this Torta. If you are in the Denver area, you should definitely make this a pit stop for a quick/​flavorful meal!

Reasonable pricing, reasonably clean. I went way out of my way to go check this place out, and I am pleased to report its good. Damn good. I had a torta ahogada, «drowned sandwich».
If it was not the spiciest sandwich that has ever crossed my lips, then ill be dipped in dogsh*t. It was slap yo Mexican Mama hot. Took a full beer and 20 minutes to abate fully. Covered with a generous heap of pickled onions, and slathered all up in a chile de Arbol salsa– The bread had a great soft yet chewy texture, the carnitas were rockin. If you find yourself in Denver and need a torta, this is your place.

Las Tortas serves up some of the best tortas in Denver. They have multiple combinations and you can order to your liking as well.
Parking is limited but usually not too hard to find a spot.
Menu is in English and Spanish so you know they cater to a large number of Spanish speaking patrons.
For drinks I really like the horchata (cinnamon rice milk) or fresh squeezed carrot orange juice. They do have other Mexican sodas and fountain drinks as well.
My favorite torta is the Jalisco, which is chicken and steak with cheese, mayonnaise, tomatoes, refried beans, onion & spicy sauce on the delicious bread. All sandwiches come with a side of jalapeños.
