Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I drive by this place pretty regularly, so I decided to stop one day. Soon I took my wife there for lunch, and then she took folks there. I go back periodically. I really like the food here. The tortas are great - and huge. I see people eat the "Rey" and I don't know how they put it away (and I'm a pretty big eater). I've really fallen in love with the quesadilla de maize - a large, corn tortilla based quesadilla. I love their grilled onions and vegetables. The prices are low. It's pretty easy to get lunch for $5-6, and I only eat half, so get a second meal out of it. One of the best parts for me, is that the staff generally seems to like being there. One day I was watching an middle aged cook, and it genuinely looked like he enjoyed making the food. The place has the feel of a number of restaurants I've been to in Mexico. Generally clean, but not real high by US standards. The area is ok (a little on the lower economic scale) and there's plenty of parking.

I was flying up 24th street late for a business meeting when I cut the wheel into the nearest strip mall shopping center to grab some lunch. Opened the door at Tortas el Rey into one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had. Lemonade with fresh squeezed lemons. Home styled salsa with the right amount of good heat. Fast service, and large portions of fresh onions, peppers, chorizo, quacamole, and homemade tortillas served steaming. I had the house signature dish Alhambra de Res. Que bueno!

I work in the arcadia area from time to time and do not have much time for lunch... This place has the very best street tacos carne asada. Only one server in the joint and she busts her hump(literally she is pregnant) working in there... the tacos are to die for.. always crunchy meat and perfect onions & cilantro... the price is unbeatable and food is prepared very fast so you are not late getting back to work... I wish there was a Tortas El Rey in Mesa!!! yumm!

Ordered take out for the first time and when my coworker came back with the food she had pizza boxes. The quesadilla al pastor I ordered actually came in one of those pizza boxes it was that big ! And at a reasonable price too. The food tasted great and I will be back to try some of their other menu items.

The placement of this restaurant is in a strip mall in a kinda crummy neighbor hood, but don't let that stop you from checking out this place! Do yourself a favor & order the torta el rey (if you're super hungry!). It has EVERYTHING on it, & somehow still manages to be balanced in it's awesome flavors. It's literally two meals in one sandwich! And for only $6.99 it's a steal! For myself, I got the hawanios tacos & they were superb! Chopped beef, pineapples, bacon, ham & chorizo with melty cheese on 3, double white corn tortillas, can it get any better than that? Oh yeah, for only $5.99 too! I'm was in heaven! Don't expect 5 star dining, it's pretty much a hole in the wall, but they can crank out some fuego! We will definitely be returning! Service was on point too! Also, get a Hibiscus water.... You will be glad you did!
(4)Scott E.
Definitely good food here. I've gone in 3-4 times and always gotten good service and good food. The tortas are large so be prepared to come in and get stuffed or order the "mini" version.
(4)Isamar D.
I ordered a hurache de alambre . certainly did not meet my expectations. The size is huge , but it felt more I was eating a big taco rather than a hurache. The corn tortilla is handmade. Definitely huraches are not their specialty. The costumer service is decent, but the place itself is not very clean. I do like the fact that you can see the cook prepare your food. I will be going back if I get very hungry and I'm around the area but I will not order anything with alambre, and most definetly not a hurache
(3)James S.
Fantastic food! Grey mexican food prepared differently than most big box Mexican chain restaurants.
(5)Nor L.
I've tried a lot of Mexican food from different places since I moved to Arizona and the food has been good but this place was really good! There's something different about Tortas el Rey's food that makes it extra yummy and authentic. I had the shrimp burrito and it was so delicious. Their rice was also spicy and flavorful. I highly recommend this place.
(4)Espy S.
Went to this place to make sure it was as good as man vs. Food made it seem! Was not disappointed it was delicious, I orders a Milanesa nothing but perfection!! The only reason why I give it a 4 is because of the crazy loud music they have playing, god I can't even Hear my self thinking I had to scream for them to get my order and for a person who talks loud like me to scream it must have have super loud that they could not hear me!
(4)Ricardo V.
Tried this place after reading the reviews on Yelp. I had tacos, chicken, asada and pastor. I was very underwhelmed and disappointed.
(2)Aaron K.
Best Torta I've ever had.
(5)Miriam H.
The brother in law took us here for some tortas the other day, it's in a small shopping center. When we got inside you could see the fresh bread laid out, and two ladies in by the grill making tortas. They have a full menu not only sandwiches but burritos, plates, combos, and seafood dishes as well! They also have fresh juices and smoothies! I ordered the Milanesa torta, and it was delish! It was serves with potato chips and a jalapeño! So good! I finished the whole thing! I ate it so fast I forgot to take a pic! They also had mariachi walking around taking song requests and our server was very nice! And they have the yummy ol coke in a bottle! Schweeeeet! Will definitely be back for some more delicious tortas!!
(5)Eddie P.
Great place to get tortas in the city favorite spot since 2010 its favorite torta is the milanesa and the asada the horhata id the bees knees i highly recommend this spot
(3)Neetan M.
Always so good. Authentic food. Owner is here daily and often will come to check on you. Some may not like the location but trust me the food more then makes up for it.
(5)Gabrielle C.
I'll be the first to say I'm a bit picky when it comes to Mexican food and up until now, I haven't been able to find any that has caught my attention. Tortas El Rey changed that for me. It's delicious and insanely affordable.
(5)HoyMay P.
Been there 2X already and always good. Had the 3 chick tacos and 3 Asada tacos. Both were delish. Service is fast and food is plentiful. This is a neighborhood joint short on atmosphere but oh so good is the food. We'll keep going!
(4)Norm R.
Like many eateries in the area, Tortas el Rey is found in a nondescript and definitely not-upscale commercial area. But the volume of the business witnessed by our lunch group (Rand H., Mike C., Robyn N., Arlin B., and me) is a testament to its popularity. With very good quality food and great prices, no wonder it is so popular. Make sure you're hungry when you come here because you get a lot of food, whether you order the tortas or the platters. And even if you're not hungry the wonderful aromas and great flavors will probably stimulate your appetite enough to make you finish what you are served. Los Reyes de la Torta, this similarly-named restaurant gives you some serious competition.
(4)John T.
Very good tortas. Ordered the asada torta and came on a soft bun with avocado and tomato. Had lettuce and grilled onions on the side with lime wedges. Would definitely come back to try other menu items.
(4)Rand H.
Stopped in here for lunch today joined by Norm R., Arlin B., Robyn N. & Mike C. I had a Torta Mexicana for this first visit & I thought it was just great... right up there in the same range as the two locations each of Los Reyes de la Torta & Tortas Paquime that I have tried. You get a small salad or potato chips with it & a tasty roasted Jalapeño Pepper. Borderline 5-Stars! :-)) Torta Mexicana: $6.50
(4)Dan G.
Very good Tortas, had the Milanesa sandwich. Breaded steak sandwich with avocado, jalapeño.
(4)Chris F.
I lucked out finding Tortas El Rey. The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is friendly. I suggest the chicken quesadilla. It is served with beans and guacamole inside the quesadilla and is awesome.
(5)Vee H.
I looooveee this place! The tortas are the bomb.com !!! BUT...I usually order the quesadilla de maiz...no meat just enjoy the homemade masa and mexican cheese :D The salsas are sooo good! I mean authentic...tastes like they've got an abuelita back there roasting the chiles and what not! lol My boo gets the huarache....again, no meat. keeping things simple is sometimes better than all that fancy shmancy ingredients.
(4)Jordan S.
Good decor,'fast and friendly service, amazing bathrooms...el Rey sandwich lacked flavor but amazing idea...I would go here again to try something else,
(4)Monica L.
My husband is not a big fan of mexican food but after giving this place a chance we are definitely going back every time we visit Phoenix. Tortas are amazing and the quesadillas are to die for!
(5)I. J.
Delicious sandwiches and drinks! Will be back again.
(4)Albie F.
The tortas here were HUGE, so much that I had to leave like a third of it for my friend who lives in Phoenix since I had a plane to catch back to San Francisco. The meat inside was well cooked, well seasoned, and definitely backed up why this place is called the King of Tortas.
(5)Hijo d.
Deliciosos Torta Mexicana. The carne asada was perfectly cooked. Also, the bomba avena is really good. Everything came out hot, and fresh. Servers were friendly. Like their homemade salsa. Many of the tortas come with a grilled chile. Really nice, crisp bolillos. This place really reminds me of the tortas you can get in mercados in Michoacan, Guanajuato, el DF. Next time I am PHX, I will be going back for sure.

Best tortas in the area, period. Miles better (and cheaper) than the much-fanfared El Guero, which is super overrated anyhow. Tasty, chewy rolls, freshly grilled ingredients. For filings, there's a pretty extensive selection - somewhere around 15, if memory serves - from simple staples to stacked monstrosities of delicious goodness. My favorite is the Ranchera Especial - carne asada with a simple chipotle sauce. The bigger guys are pretty good, too, and are no joke. I come here at least 2-3 times a month for work lunches, and nobody has ever been disappointed. Never ordered anything non-torta related, but they do have a full menu, including huaraches and various other non-standard but good Mexican items. Atmosphere-wise, the place is nice. Clean, bring colors, friendly-but-not-overbearing staff. There's usually a soccer game or Spanish-language day-time talk shows on whenever I'm in.

How did I not know what a torta was? For some reason I had this memory of a torta being served on brick hard pita type bread...Was it nightmares of Taco Bell? I'm really not sure... I was quite hesitant when my friend suggested Tortas La Presa. "I don't like tortas" I thought... Well I was very, very wrong. The staff speaks mainly spanish and they were so helpful when addressing my gringaness. Lucky for me there were also a lot of pictures on the menu. These tortas here are served on a soft, fresh bolillo bun. I can't remember the name of the one I had but it was something Reyes.. It had carne and queso fresco with avocado, lettuce and tomatoes.. My friend had one with mozzarella cheese, both were absolutely delicious. I watched soccer on the big TV and washed my down with a perfectly sweetened horchata. I can't wait to go back and try every one on the menu..This place rocks.
(4)Giancarlo C.
Food is amazing! Everytime I come 2 PHX I come 2 this plc. It's small, not fancy, but who cares b/c UR here 4 the food! The food is extremely fresh. Did I mention homemade? The waitress is so sweet & helpful. Only drawback is their not in Los Angeles! Can't wait 4 my next trip 2 PHX! (I wanted to add pictures that we took, but can't figure out how)
(5)Dana M.
Hands down the best Mexican food in Phoenix! I absolutely loved this place and have now gone back 3 more times to take every person who visits me and wants great Mexican food. This place is a quite a drive for me, but sooo worth it. Not the nicest area of town and in a small little strip mall. I've only managed to order the Carne Asada plate and a burrito so far. Because they were both so good that I had to order them again on my next trips! But the Tortas and everything else look amazing too! Can't wait to go again!
(5)Douglas R.
This place has almost no parking. It was packed with people that were even allowed to block the door. Its noisy, crowded with no place to sit or wait unless you want to stand there for an hour. There are too many other places to get a simple torta. I wouldnt wait & wont go back.
(1)Jack N.
After reading some of the reviews on Yelp I was so excited to try this place. I'm a big fan of Los Reyes De La Torta in Sunnyslope and was so happy to know there was a place just as good within driving range for lunch. The name is no longer Tortas La Presa but it is now named Torta el Rey. Lets put it this way, there is only ONE KING and this place isnt it. The building isnt nearly as clean or well set up as Los Reyes. Also the food is lacking majorily. I tried the Ranchero torta con papas. The portion was a decent size however the taste was lacking in a major way. Seems to me like this place is trying to feed off of its cousin shops success but it isn't in the same league. If you want the king you have to go to Sunnyslope.
(2)Troy S.
After our waiter brought out a torta, I wondered why I didn't get one myslelf, although the beef sope was itself a meal to behold. Enough for 2 people, the beef was plenty tender and it was seasoned quite well. My friend got a cheese quesadilla, which was also good, they bring you veggies to eat with your meal, instead of just some rice. When in the neighborhood and looking for a tastey cheap meal (no alcohol, though) Tortas La Presa does the trick.
(4)Bill F.
This place is awesome. Lots of flavor, cooked with care. The taco plates are huge and priced really well (like $6 or something close). Great service. The signature tort a will put you to sleep, but it is really good too. I think this place has way more flavor than the other torta shops I have tried.
(4)Erika K.
I hate strip mall restaurants. But - I forgive this little place. Nothing fancy. Very simple. Very ethnic. So much that the menu is completely in Spanish. But don't let that scare you ... there are pictures on the menu! Lots of pictures! I guess they are mainly known for their Tortas (which are sandwiches). And their tortas are HUGE! And, yummy. Some combinations are a bit unusual. I recommend, unless you are REALLY hungry - start with the little sandwich (I like to call them "tortita" - don't quote me - that's my expression and the waiter will NOT understand you). But my husband and I always get tacos. He orders Tacos de Alhambra de Res - strip steak with chopped ham and bacon (I think). I order a cheese quesadilla de maiz (Maiz instead of flour - much better!). The quesadilla is served with a green chile salsa sauce inside - spicy - but not to make your eyes water. You can get quesadillas stuffed with other fillings too. They have different flavor Horchata's as well (I love to say Orrrrrrr -CHA-ta). I'll tell you what....my mom is from Mexico City. She says that the tacos are like what you can buy on the streets in Mexico (which is a good thing). I think you should take a chance and trust my mom on this. She owned a Mexican restaurantt in Upstate NY before Mexican food was "in." If you read this and do give it a go - let me know what you think!
(4)Kallen P.
I've been here twice now, and the first time I loved it. I'm from San Diego and we have pretty high standards for good Mexican food since we're surrounded by it. The carne asada was delicious. The second time, I waited over 30 minutes for my burrito to be done, and people who ordered after me got their orders first. I was irritated, but it was the lunch rush so I was trying to be understanding. Then my burrito contained every nasty piece of meat. Fat, gristle, weird crunchy pieces, it goes on. Disgusting. Overall I'd give their food a 4, but between the service and terrible quality of my most recent order it plummets to a 1.
(1)Tex M.
This is the best place to eat. It maybe a hole in the wall, but amazing, amazing, amazing can't even begin to describe it!! The food is the best of course and the people are super nice! Don't miss it if your in the PHX area!
(5)Salvador B.
I've been eating tortas my whole life! These people make them the way they are supposed to be made...huge and stuffed. You get a lot for your money, plus grilled jalapenos. If I wanted to go on a suicide mission I'd stop here and eat non stop till my blood insulin level go through the roof. Please enjoy.
(4)Papa U.
One word... WOW!!! The Torta El Rey is a must and the Camarones al la Aeracruz were to die for! It was clean, fresh and friendly and very authentic. The portions are ridiculously huge and affordable. We went on a Sunday so they were out of a couple things but, nothing to fuss over the menu is HUGE just like the flavors there!
(5)Jennifer P.
I will give this place 4 stars because the torta especial that I ordered was decent. To be honest, I'm not a huge torta fan, but went here because of the good reviews and I was driving by. The price was a bit much for the area but the plate was pretty big. Went with a friend who really enjoyed the food.
