La Casita Chilanga

HUGE tortas. As big as your face! Parking can be a bit challenging here, but as long as you are willing to walk a few blocks and circle a bit, this place is worth it. It's a rather small, one-room establishment, very grab and go. Service is friendly and prompt. Their menu is entirely in Spanish (I rather love this; I'm always up for a challenge - cough - Google lens). I ordered a Sofia Vergara, which has tender chicken that was perfectly seasoned and not too salty. Their bread is what I call "torta bread" which, in my experience, is hard to get moist. It tends to be fluffy, but rather airy, with a thin, leather-like top. One thing it does well is soak up the ingredients and retain the flavor, which makes for a pretty bomb sandwich in the end. I'll be back to try the Cubana!

Amazing and very filling tortas! I been coming here for years and the quality is always great. Staff is friendly and service is fast. Truly a hidden gem.

The flautas were light and crispalthough a little bland.The salsa roja was too hot.Not having a suitable salsa rojaruined the experience.The girls at the front deskwere nice. The salsa atEl GrullenseMuch better.Heard the tortas are good

This hole in the wall is smack dab on Middlefield road along with a lot of Latino shops. I've been wanting to try this place since my friend told me about it.They take card now, used to be cash only apparently. The menu is also entirely in Spanish, which wasn't a problem for me since I can read some Spanish (thanks 7 years of learning Spanish). Google/Google Translate is your friend if you need it though. I got the La Cubana which has pretty much all the meats: milanesa de res (thin pan fried beef), jamón (ham), chorizo (come on you better know this), pierna (breast meat), and salchicha (sausage). All sandwiches come with avocado, mayo, salsa de Xipotl, caramelized onions, refried beans, queso fresco cheese, and slices of tomato. This is a hefty sandwich enough for 2 meals unless you have a big appetite. I loved how soft the bread is on the inside and how everything is the right amount of spicy. The pile of meats can be a bit salty so I might go a different route next time but ultimately this was such a satisfying meal. One of the gems of Redwood City, perfect for your after Costco meal.

Amazing tortas--never disappointed; highly recommended Definitely a go to when craving Mexico City style food and tortas

We ordered a cubana torta to share and it was just enough. Not too salty with a little kick to it. The meat was a bit tough/chewy, so it kind of made it messy to eat.

La maquila torta is fire, and it's like 2 pounds of food. Great little place. Great service. Small place so it's basically just take out.

This place is SO GOOD! We've been here twice in a week now we have ordered: Super Agila, Mega Chiva, Cubano, and Haragana. They are all so delicious and I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The Cubano is definitely the most popular item, and the Haragana is great as a "brunch sandwich" - it comes with eggs, bacon, avocado, etc. Most of their tortas clock in at $13-16, but they're good for 1.5-2 meals each depending on how hungry you are, so not a bad price. The people here are super nice and service is quick whether you order in person or online. Please do note it's pretty much just a to-go storefront - we just ate in our car because we didn't want to wait until we got home lol.Highly highly recommend this place if you like Mexican food!

one star because I can't put zero or negative due to a rock on my torta. How does a rock get inside the torta!?

The best tortas in the peninsula. I've been coming here for 15+ years and they never disappoint. There's a little of everything for all kinds of appetites, everyone I bring always leaves satisfied.
