“As soon as I pulled up to this place I said “Oh yeah, this is going to be good”. And then as soon as I walked in I said “I’m so excited”. I can spot a good Mexican restaurant when I see one. And I knew. My my instincts were correct. My carnitas burrito was phenomenal. Service was quick and friendly. It was clean. Everyone has a great time. I’m getting a burrito to go. 10/10.“

“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.“

Like for $25 or less I got a huge meal.. Tamale, crispy chicken tacos, 2 chicken taquitos, which came with a big portion of guac & 2 big salsas. Rice n beans were on point ngl they were bomb. Overall great experience, waited less than 10 mins too. My score 9.1 for a great Mexican food restaurant in the area 🌮“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“Awesome place! I really loved the atmosphere and the DJ was on point with the music... Yes they had an DJ when we were there! Don't know if this a weekend thing but we were lucky. Food was really good and the service was excellent! Will be coming back. The only thing I personally recommend is for the mango blended margaritas to actually look and taste like mango. I was expecting a yellow looking one but it was pale and it tasted like a regular margarita. Other than that everything was good.“

“Went for breakfast for the first time and the food was good. I ordered the chilaquiles, they had good flavor and a nice presentation, I just wish they were a little crisper. My wife got the birria tacos, she said they were good and my son got the french toast with ice cream, you know I had to sneak a bite. The hash brown that I ordered was Perfect! It had the perfect crispness, I wish I would have ordered two. The place itself has some cool art all over the walls, it was a little too quiet but it was because they're wifi was down. Service was great, I'll definitely come here again.“

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 👏“
