I love this place! I tell everyone about it! The best!
Great service and the food was amazing. Best tamale I've had in ages.
This was my first meal after landing in Vancouver. We were famished and Las tortas was the perfect meal fory family and me. We had the quesadilla, a burrito and a sandwich all of which were great.
I like it when the chips come out hot, you know that the place has character!
I would go back.
Yes. We,re Eating Again.

I went to Las Tortas during Vanfoodster's 2018 Taco Challenge. This is another small and simple family style place. A menu of tortas and tasty home style Mexican food. Their offering for the challenge is the El Campechano Taco, the most expensive of all the entrants at $9.50. It did not seem overpriced as this was a loaded taco. Grilled sirloin and chorizo on a chipotle tortilla were a good start. With chicharon, napolitos, black beans, habanero mango crema, queso fresco and pico de gallo. It is a combination of a lot of impressive individual elements that make an impressive whole! Not to be overlooked is a tasty little slaw of jicama served on the side! I also tried a couple of tacos off of their regular menu; lamb and pulled pork. Uncomplicated, served on two tortillas with simple toppings, they were very good. This was some of the best and most distinctive tasting lamb that I have had in a while and I loved it. Order at the counter and your food is delivered to you. The folks are quite friendly and were happy to talk to me about their food!
Las Tortas is a restaurant on Cambie Street that serves up Mexican cuisine as is known for their tortas – Mexican sandwiches. M and I were in the area and needed some dinner, so I thought we should stop here to grab a quick bite since I haven’t been here before and we are both huge fans of Mexican food.
This was stop number two on our systematic crawl for tacos around Vancouver. This is an annual event created and hosted by “Vancouver Foodster”, it celebrates some of his favourite taco places. I was plus one to the dynamic “Picky Diner”, who was not only one of the judges of this event; but a friend to “Vancouver Foodster”. Our two eventually became a three as we ended up tagging along with “the Foodster”, touring his own crawl. He was a fine guide, giving us context of each place and regaling us with tasty tall tales.
Food
Taco salad
- light and well portioned
- would have been nice if it came in a taco shell bowl instead of the tortilla chips
Chicken tacos
-flavourful but missing some sour cream
Ambiance
- we sat outside but it's a small little restaurant
- ideal for a quick bite
Service
- quick and friendly
Great Mexican food! This place is definitely authentic as it is owned and run by Mexicans. We ordered the torta sandwich and four tacos and it did not disappoint! Fresh ingredients and authentic taste. The service is also fantastic. I asked to try a sample of the hotchata and the lady gave me a generous portion. The only critique I have is the portion for the Mexican was a bit small for $11.50.
Excelent milanesa torta. Well, actually the Chilanga, with a perfect milanesa and mexican chorizo... for sure this just became one of my favourites restaurants in vancouver.
Tacos and quesadilla, splendid. Salsa so flavourful - Salsa Verde delicious and delightfully picante! I will be back!
Grrrrreat!. Good sized tortas and burritos mean that we can split portions with our kids. The pulled pork, vegetarian and lime marinated chicken are outstanding. Delicious food, friendly service, superb lemonade. One of our favourites!
Great sandwiches and lemonade,
We also love the tortilla soup but it hasn't been on the last few times.
I do think its a little expensive though as 2 sandwich combos can cost $30 with the extras.
I love the variety of tortas and food options they have. Staff is friendly and food is delicious.
Great mexican reataurant!! We got the family dinner take out for 2 and it was fantastic, meats were really tasty and it was fun to make your tacos at home! Definitely recommend it!!!
Loved the torta de milanesa at Las Tortas Mexican Gourmet Sandwiches. My whole family can for dinner the other night and we all loved it. They also have the best horchata!
Delicious and authentic Mexican food. The family that owns and runs it also bottles and sells their own salsa! They have other hot sauces and Mexican vanilla in their little restaurant. We will definitely be back foe more scrumptious food.
Five stars, I've been here a bunch and never had anything to complain about. The employees behind the counter are always off-the-charts nice. Not to mention, their birria tacos are easily the best in Van. Highly recommend!
I’ve been searching for an authentic Mexican restaurant since I came to BC. A friend and I went to Las Tortas this week and I can confidently say I finally found it. We got tacos, a torta, & a tres leches cake — all were absolutely phenomenal!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting authentic Mexican food!!
Probably the best tortas I've had in Vancouver, next to the original back in Mexico! Would highly reccomend this place, and look forward to going back, to explore their different styles of Mexican food :))
The staff is super sweet and friendly too; go check it out!
