Tortas Ahogadas Tradición Tapatía

I'm back in Silicon Valley. I'm in East San Jose today. The last time I had a Torta was in the Mission District in San Francisco. The last few times I was at a Mexican food truck in the neighborhood, they were out of Tortas. I didn't know Tortas were in high demand like that now. It was packed in here for a Sunday. This looks like a classic and clean Taqueria. I finally got my Torta. This is a Barbacoa Torta. I classify a Torta with Chalupa, Gyros, and Sandwhich. The Barbacoa was good. I'm used to the somewhat fluffy Torta bread like Pita. This was more like a dense Baguette. It reminds me of a French dip, but with more spice. I didn't get the need for the tomato broth though, I took a sip of it and it reminds me of a Ceviche juice. I didn't know a Crunchy Taco comes with it, and I opted to get a Potato Taco. The Crunchy Potato Taco might be slightly better than the Torta. I wanted some more Crunchy Potato Taco. The red salsa had somewhat of a kick to it, the heat came out of nowhere. I love Cinnamon, but I wasn't really a regular Horchata type of person. I got a large Strawberry Horchata to go along with it. It reminds me of a Berkeley Farm strawberry milk carton. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.0-4.1 stars, it could be a 4.3 stars on a good day, but I give this 4.2 stars.

A three because the tacos and the sauce was great. The torta is too salty (si se que es el pan), if I go back I will order the tacos and maybe try the carne en su jugo, the torta ahogada I personally will not buy it from here again.

Me gustaba mucho este lugar hasta hoy pedí 2 órdenes de tacos al vapor 2 tacos as de pastor para llevar y llegue a casa mis tacos sin cebolla sin cilantro sin limón q mal servicio gasté $53 dólares ni disfruté la comida

Finally, last Saturday, I had the chance to try this place for the first time. I ENJOYED every bite of my food, the services, the accommodations, and the atmosphere.It is an authentic Mexican place: You can see the kitchen and how they are prepared the food from scratch, you can smell those familiar aromas, and there is a salsa station (with lemons, onions, and cilantro included), and of course, the handmade tortilla station.The menu has something for everyone, plenty of vegetarian options, and the Aguas Frescas are delicious! For lunch, I had:- Tacos dorados (requeson and potato)- Tacos de Barbacoa (it comes with broth and double tortilla)- Strawberry agua fresca- All the salsas!!!Worth the driving!

Tortas Ahogadas Tradicion Tapatia was recommended by a Mexican mom! It is located in the "Cinderella" area of San Jose. Their focus is on food / traditional menu from Guadalajara, Mexico. Yum!!We visited in late July 2021. We tried the Tacos de Camaron and Tacos de Barbacoa. Delicious!! Enjoy!!

Los tejuinos más deliciosos y refrescantes con nieve de limón! Acompañados de unos ricos tacos de canasta. Los de chicarrón me encantan! Tortas Ahogadas Tradicion Tapatía, mi favorito!

Perhaps the best sandwich in the valley! Ingredients and portions on point! Patio is also really nice and family friendly. Will come again

The TORTAS AHOGADAS were not what we expected at the very least, we must recognize that the effort is there but it is not what is said on the WEB, TIKTOK, YouTube because it is not in the flavor of what is exported from Mexico to this area of ​​the world (Bay Area) the idea is good but the development is NOT, the price is exaggerated but it is not even remotely one that can be "BALANCED IN WHAT YOU RECEIVE FOR WHAT YOU PAY"... and it is for those of us who grew up in the middle of where a debt arises from those who advertise "BEING THE BEST" when one of the main elements of this dish is THE SPICY SAUCE, it is far from at least "imitating" the flavor and taste when it reaches your palate, why is this SPICY SAUCE in This dish always has a slight taste of VINEGAR and is in question IT SIMPLY DOES NOT OFFER IT TO YOU EVEN REMOTELY, in the tomato sauce you would only have to blame them for an excess of OREGANO, the pork well balanced and perhaps very minced but acceptable, no I noticed the presence of REFRIED BEANS IN THE BREAD, the bread is not CRISPY (even if it is heated in an oven) of acceptable taste but never like the one offered by other less crowded (or advertised) places right there in San Jose, the price at reviewing would also be TOPIC TO DISCUSS, because 4 TACOS DE CANASTA/$14.10 is really exaggerated but it is worth saying that from experience a popular saying applies and it is "DEBUT AND FAREWELL"Los TORTAS AHOGADAS no fueron lo que esperábamos mínimo, hay que reconocer que el esfuerzo está pero no es lo que se dice en la WEB, TIKTOK, YouTube porque no está en el sabor de lo que se exporta desde México a este zona del mundo (Bay Area) la idea es buena pero el desarrollo NO, el precio es exagerado pero no es ni remotamente uno que se pueda "EQUILIBRAR EN LO QUE RECIBES POR LO QUE PAGAS"... y es para los que crecimos en medio de donde surge una deuda con quienes anuncian "SER LOS MEJORES" cuando uno de los elementos principales de este platillo es LA SALSA PICANTE, está lejos de al menos "imitar" el sabor y el gusto. cuando llega a tu paladar por qué esta SALSA PICANTE en Este plato siempre tiene un ligero sabor a VINAGRE y está en duda SIMPLEMENTE NO TE LO OFRECE NI POR REMODEL, en la salsa de tomate solo tendrías que echarles la culpa de un exceso de ORÉGANO, la carne de cerdo bien equilibrada y quizás muy picada pero aceptable, no noté la presencia de FRIJOLES REFRITOS EN EL PAN, el pan no queda CRUJIENTE (aunque se caliente en horno) de sabor aceptable pero nunca como el que se ofrece por otros lugares menos concurridos (o publicitados) ahí mismo en San José, el precio en reseña también sería TEMA A DISCUTAR, porque 4 TACOS DE CANASTA/$14.10 es realmente exagerado pero vale decir que por experiencia aplica un dicho popular y es " DEBUT Y DESPEDIDA"SOLO QUEDA RECONOCER QUÉ HAY OTRO..." QUIEN NO CONOCE A DIOS... A CUALQUIER MONO LE HACE REVERENCIAS" y es que si alguien ha tenido la oportunidad de comer un TORTA AHOGADA EN GUADALAJARA, podrá expresar lo mismo

Lo recomiendo el personal muy atento comida caliente Estaba muy rica selas recomiendo

Honestly I been wanting to here for a while and try the choco milk with cinnamon so today i drove out of my way and went! Boy oh boy do I regret it the service was so horrible after I paid almost 8.00 for a drink they made me wait 25 mins for it! I seen so many other orders come out before me, the ladies there are rude and just ignored me. I had to ask hello??? I just ordered one drink is it ready yet? Them she says oh yea and goes to get my drink from the back... smh never again not worth it. Everyone there all the ladies need to work on customer service for sure!
