“Fast service and everyone liked their food , Good menudo“

“This place is stlithe same as it was from my childhood visits in the 80s. My dad used to know the original owner and I visited frequently. In June 2026, I brought my family for a 'snack' and for my own nostalgia. It got to say the food is till delicious, the carnitas #1! The soles are my all time favorites here, nobody else makes them the way Q Tortas does. And the torta we bought was just a beautiful presentation and they still wrap it in aluminum foil like they always have. Oh and the beans? Just like homemade. Can't say enough of this place and my family truly loved it.

Q Tortas thanks for staying true to the original formula. Don't ever change. Keep that red salsa the same too. I'll stop by every time I visit from Las Vegas.“

“First time they get my order wrong , lately I’ve been ordering the beef chimichanga. I ordered that today and accidentally got the chile relleno. It was so good that I’m not even mad that they got my order wrong. My wife ordered the mole enchiladas and she loved it.“

“The staff is so friendly and the food is fresh and the portions are generous. Finally a restaurant who puts their customers first!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So Delicious!

We’re from out of state and decided to try this spot through DoorDash — and wow, it did not disappoint! We ordered tacos and sopes, and everything was bursting with flavor. The salsas were a standout — so fresh, spicy, and full of depth. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this place!“

The dishes are flavorful, fresh, and truly made with love—from the tacos to the enchiladas, everything is delicious. The cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for a dinner date, and the staff always makes us feel right at home. It’s one of those places where good food and good company come together perfectly.

“Reasonably price. D, everything is high lately. But this place is maintained as steady decent price. And the staff are great as well. I enjoy this place because it's so conveniently located next to my house. The gas station and everything else that I need.“

“Madres Brunch has a cute vibe with a menu full of brunch items. It's neat how they had drink flights where you can try a variety of flavors, including coffee, latte, mimosa, and margarita flights. Our server was also nice and friendly.

* Chilaquiles Verdes 4/5 + Steak 3.5/5 - The chilaquiles came with fried tortillas soaked in green sauce and topped with cheese, sour cream (we got this on the side), avocado, red onion, and an egg. It rests on a bed of beans which we opted not to get. The chilaquiles were pretty good. We got the steak addon which was okay, not very flavorful.

* Pistachio Waffles 4/5 - This came with 2 pistachio waffles, pistachio ice cream, strawberry and caramel syrup, condensed milk, and topped with real pistachios. It was a nice to try something different. The waffle was good, but it didn't have a lot of pistachio flavor.

We also got drinks. Both the Strawberry Horchata and the Mazapan Latte were very good 5/5. The Mazapan tasted exactly like its namesake candy.“

“Watching the World Cup here. I had the Baja Fish tacos and they were perfect along with the Chipotle sauce. My wife had Chile Relleno and loved it as well. You have to enjoy your free chips with their salsa and add guacamole. Bomb.com lol“

“The best tacos in town!! 💯“

“I work in the same shopping center I forgot my lunch today and went to del taco for the savior and I was greeted by Lukas who was very nice and even helped me with my order very nice dude it was busy too and he just was doing his job HARD worker

“Simple and clean. Self serve kiosk made the experience fast and easy.

Staff was very attentive to keeping the location clean! Nice to see in a fast food establishment.

Value is great for quantity of items included (Luxe Cravings Box).

Don't normally go to this chain but was pleasantly surprised.

Vegetarian options: There was one female employee that took great effort throughout our time there to maintain the cleanliness of the dining area. She was amazing 👏“
