“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Game-Changer of a Torta: Flautas El Bandido Delivers

I’ve been to Flautas El Bandido a few times now, and they hit the mark every single time. Consistency is key, and it certainly helps that they are the only food truck holding things down on the stretch between Exeter and home. Honestly, it’s one of the very few places in the area that I consider to be truly authentic Mexican food.
On my latest visit, I tried their Grilled Cheese Torta with Asada, and it might have just changed the game for me.

The Breakdown

The Travel Test: I had a 30-minute drive from pickup to home, and I was thrilled to find it was still perfectly warm when I unwrapped it—no sad, cold sandwich here.

The Bread: This is where many tortas fail, but Flautas El Bandido nails it. The bread is firm yet soft, and wonderfully filling. It’s not that overly airy bread that causes the whole thing to structurally collapse before it even reaches your mouth. It holds its own.

The Fillings: It came loaded with a generous amount of melted cheese, perfectly seasoned asada, fresh pico de gallo, cabbage, onion, and creamy avocado.

The Verdict

While many places make their own version of a torta, this specific grilled cheese style was a first for me. I think I’ve officially found a brand-new way to enjoy a torta. To top it all off (literally), it came with a classic pickled jalapeño on the side for that perfect kick.

If you're driving through, do yourself a favor and pull over. This food truck is a local treasure.“

“muy buen servicio y muy buena comida muy recomendados“

“Food was delicious, service was amazing, it was our first time eating here. We love supporting small buisness owners.“

“Fresh, Friendly, and Fast Enough

I honestly don’t understand people’s complaints about this location. My experience was solid from start to finish, and I’d gladly visit again.

The Service

In terms of speed, they took about the average time most all Jack in the Boxes take, so I’m not sure what the rush is for some folks. The highlight, however, was the service. The guy at the window was nice and even upgraded my drink to a large—he said it was for the wait, but maybe he was hitting on me, who knows! Either way, it was a great gesture that made the visit stand out.

The Food

The meal itself was a winner. Everything was extremely fresh and flavorful, which isn't always a guarantee with fast food. It tasted like it was made to order rather than sitting under a heat lamp.

The Verdict

Between the friendly interaction at the window and the quality of the food, I have zero complaints. If you’re in the area and need a quick, fresh bite, this spot hits the mark.“

“I just love the place..everything about them. I used to live across the street from them..I loved being that close..they're great people and food..“

“I ordered 2 tripa tacos and 2 gorditas de chicharrón. The tripas were actually good but very underseasoned. The gorditas were fried and to my surprise they had nopales which was a plus, however I could tell they were from a can and were dry. The staff was ehhh 5/10. The food was alright 7.5/10. They need to season up more and a smile goes a long way. I would come back tho.“
