Came here for some post-work happy hour margs w/ coworkers and it is the perfect spot for that. Lowkey atmosphere, a little cramped but not too bad compared to other bars in the area. The photo I took does NOT do this justice but I might just have to say that these could be the best tacos I've ever had. Cauliflower tacos for all my veggie friends out there - an absolute must. Chips and guac came with absolutely ample chips in a way I haven't seen a restaurant do in quite some time. Food came out super fast but in a way that didn't make us feel rushed. Will 1000% be back.

cute place. good service. drinks disappointing .... very small and loaded with ice. guac was large portion/good, but chips greasy. easy and quick if you are in the area.

Very impressed with their Tortas! 10/10! Recommend for a Sunday funday moment! Staff was friendly and hand made tortillas can never go wrong

Sandwiches weren’t the best, but the staff was friendly and the place is nice to get some drinks. Other than that, i’d reserve more for a drinking date more than anything.

I recently found this gem near my job & it is now my new go-to spot for drinks with my coworker. The food was a pleasant surprise/treat, never thought I'd find another great Mexican spot here in the city. Our waitress Elizabeth is the sweetest & so attentive.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Check out their lunch specials during the week Service is great .. all were attentive. I love the ambiance too, festive and feels authentic.

We came in around 5:30pm and there were only two tables seated inside. We asked for a table and were sat at the large communal table in the middle of the restaurant. Some staff members were chatting right in front of where we were seated and one guys backpack kept hitting my partners back which I thought was strange and rude. After the meeting adjourned, the very nice server (same guy who seated us), came over and took our order. We were talked into two tortas, guac (large - ha!) and a marg. Marg was served in what I think is a 10oz glass. Water was in plastic cups. Marg had no flavor - just sweet and a little watered down tasting. About 30 seconds later, our large guac came out. It was adequate, but nothing done tableside, and it was served in a small paper bowl. I'd say it was about 8oz. Kinda like a large size guac sized from Chipotle. We were seated next to the horchata station. This is where every server and staff member walks from the kitchen and bathroom. I had ice refilled right next to me. Two large garbage cans emptied and carried right by me while eating my guac. An employee brushed up on me during one pass. It was really uncomfortable and very strange that we were even sitting there when the entire place was basically empty? What was the thought process of seating a two top at a communal table right next to a service area when the place is empty? After a couple mins, the toratas arrived. They were mediocre and sloppy. We were given plastic wrapped silverware and a stack of napkins. It's like a to-go order for dine-in kind of place. Plastic cups for water, plastic silverware, salt and pepper packets. I've had tortas before, and these are far from authentic. I couldn't wait to leave. We had been here for 16 mins and the meal was over. $70.02 with tip for one 10oz marg, a tiny guac and two small sandwiches. Never again.

At its core, Tortaria is a restaurant that caters to the NYU student community. Food is served with plastic utensils and paper plates . My Columbian waitress did not know what black bean soup was but encouraged the black beans that come with most dishes. The black beans were tasty and quite good. I ordered the Tacitos Burria, which were also quite quite good, although the portions were small. I ordered a margarita, which was strong and kept me buzzed through the afternoon. I saw many people ordering the torta sandwich, which I'll try on my next visit. The place is worth a revisit, and their $16 lunch, which includes a drink ( non-alcoholic) is a good deal.
Great food. Love the margarita pitcher and the staff is always super friendly. Food is really good if you’re looking for a lowkey Mexican place with drinks and light
