DonTortas

Food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I had a Carne Asada Torta - This Thing Slapped. Get in here if you want looking for great food at a great value.

Once you get over the local element surrounding the area and visit this location it's great. We went through the drive through and we're quickly greeted in Spanish this gave a nice authentic feel. I asked if we could have a moment, which she was agreeable to. We finally determine what we would try. La Patrona, órale and tóxica. Once we got these home we realized these were some massive sandwiches. I was a little disappointed that it was a traditional torta like I have had in Mexico. It's was a great sandwich. Meaty with a great flavor. The meats were all juicy perfectly stacked to get all the tastes in each bite.

You know me I love my Toxicas, and it looked good but decided to change it up and got me a Chale! The whole menu looked good af, wanted one of everything but gotta stay fit for my toxicas. The steak and bread were alright, wasn't a big fan of it. But the salchicha got me, no homo... I also ordered a side a fries and they were so good. It was a good-looking place, nice and clean, but not as good-looking as me.

Wow! Very clean and inviting environment when you enter the establishment. Very modern looking decor and the use of today's technology for menu's. The food was freshly made with a good variety of sandwich options. Okay so about the food. The torta bread was light, soft baked and was grilled buttery and crisp on the underside, yum! The flavors are bold and spicy depending on what get, I suggest the Burqueno if you can handle it! this place is definitely worth a try, I will be back but it's something I personally need to be in the mood for. Hope you all enjoy!

Hard to find as it is hidden in a very new strip mall just east of the car wash at San Mateo and Central, but it's worth a look. It also appears to be the only storefront open in the mall, so I hope they get some help soon.Went for lunch. The place is small, maybe 6 tables, but very clean. The lady behind the counter was nice and tried to help with selection and choices. I ordered La Toxica, a steak and ham combo. I had the chipotle sauce on the side, and I'm glad I did. She said it was hot and she didn't lie! A little went a long way for me! The bread was very good and the meats were tasty. The cheese was good but it sort of overpowered the other flavors. Still, good sandwich.I also enjoyed the watermelon Agua Fresca. It was a little pricey, but it was very good and very fresh.I'll be back to try the other offerings.

Bottom Line:Very flavorful sandwiches & agua frescas. Super clean premises. Friendly & helpful counter lady. Strong accent can be hard to understand. A bit high on price for agua frescas. Online menu is brief & easy to understand.Top Line:Being a new business, Don Tortas interior was immaculate & shiny. Counter lady was friendly, outgoing, and helpful toward us making our choices for monthly outing. But her accent was pronounced enough that I struggled to understand what she said.My choice was La Patrona $12 torta with $5 horchata agua fresca. My dining partner went with the La Toxica torta, a side of fries, and pineapple agua fresca.Partner praised the pineapple drink for its flavor. I noted that the horchata possessed a notably heavier body than most I've had, which tend to be quite thin & watery even when they have good flavor. Don Tortas' horchata also was a bit more complex in flavor than most. Not just rice water, sugar, & cinnamon, which is pretty much the most basic & stripped down version. DT's horchata had nutmeg & some other flavor players joining the party, making it a distinctive drink.Sandwiches were large. Generosity on the portion front! The butter grilled toasted rolls were well loaded with meat, vegetation, cheese, dressing. The specific ingredients made for a rich & varied taste. Different textures kept the palate from being bored. Special note of the bread being sufficiently durable to not soggy up or crumble under the load they bore.The jalapeno peppers & chipotle arrived on the side. Chipotle was strong with the smoky flavor and, while it had a nice sting to it, was not as searingly hot as I anticipated. So I put it *all* on my torta & it wasn't too spicy. The pickled jalapeno was a bit hotter. But the hottest of all was the carrot slices that were pickled in with the jalapenos.So I easily recommend Don Tortas on the south side of Central Ave a block east of San Mateo as a good spot to hit up for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner sandwich & really fine agua frescas.

Ordered la toxica combo and a barbacoa taco to share via DoorDash. It was enough for two people. Both items were amazing. Tasted fresh and arrived hot. Next time we'll eat at the restaurant. Glad I stumbled on this place on DoorDash

One word, wow! Thank you Yelp, another great find. I saw their page on Yelp and I knew I needed a torta right away. I rolled in and couldn't make up my mind. The lady working the counter was so nice and helped me make a decision. I ordered the La Toxica, grilled steak and a smoked pork chop. I also ordered fries and a large horchata. Man the food was good. My only gripe is that I got takeout so the bread was a little soggy by the time I got home.If your feeling like a hot sandwich, definitely check this place out. Don Torta is officially on my list of sandwich stops.

This place was a surprise. The food is very high quality. The Agua Frescas are the best I've had in Albuquerque ever. Seriously you can come here just to buy drinks. I had the burqueña. My only critique is the chorizo was a little on the salty side. But it did not ruin anything. This place is a top notch choice any day of the week.

Best food I've ever had in my life! These women are amazing!! Great service and amazing food!! Can not recommend enough or say enough positive things about this place 10 stars !!!
