"As the name suggests, this small walkup window in Georgetown has an extensive menu of tortas and burritos—but we prefer the latter. You can start off the day with their Spanish breakfast burrito that has a nice kick from chorizo, fluffy eggs, and a lightly toasted tortilla keeping it from becoming a mess. For a satisfying lunch or dinner, there’s a plump seafood burrito stuffed with well-seasoned cod, red rice, and avocado, and dressed in a tasty jalapeño aioli. And out of all the tortas, their el cubano stands out thanks to a thick slab of juicy pork belly. Just note that the sandwich goes a little overboard with the toppings. Stick to those burritos." - Gabe Guarente

Amazing food! I tried the La Bamba torta and the Mac salad: it did not disappoint. The food is incredible and the owner is extremely kind. Will definitely be back to try other items!

First time trying this place. The owner recommended el Cubano torta, and He was not wrong! It was great. I got the sliced, hot potatoes instead of the Mac salad. They offer walk-up service with a couple of outside benches for seating. Parking is a challenge, but doable. This place seems a favorite of locals that walk to and from work or home for lunch. Currently, only a "Good" rating from the Health Department, but everything I saw was great! I'll be back to explore more of their menu!

Stopped here as part of a food walk around Georgetown and this was a wonderful find. The Cubano torta sandwich was amazing. The pork was tender and the bread was warm and soft. I will definitely be back!

Great little place in Georgetown for tortas and burritos! Just tried the Birra - spicy shredded beef that was super moist and tasty! Carnitas is good too. Service is great. Great food for a great price! Only limited outdoor seating or takeout.

The food that I've tried so far has been amazing. I got El Cubano sandwich and the breakfast burrito. So good. The service was great, they're fast and efficient. The atmosphere was fine, it is on a corner of a busy yet not so busy street, very industrial feeling location. Despite its funky location, I will make the drive just to get the sandwich or burrito.

Best torta ever! They did not flag false advertisements. I was rolling on through SoDo/Georgetown area in Seattle during my regular traffic "shortcut" and vered left. Best decision I made all week, similar to how they make good choices with tera rolls, guacamole, and some lime and hot flavors! The blends are exceptional and juicy. Oh, soooo good! I was nervous to pay the amount of money but it was so worth it! They deserve to be paid for their hard labor, creative advertising, and fantastic simple traditional Mexican food made exceptionally well!

Little walk up torta shop. Don't be intimidated by the prices, portions are huge and everything I've had here has been delicious. Chipotle mac salad always makes a great addition to your sandwich choice, service is friendly and fast.

Wow. The El Diablo Torta with shrimp and cheese (blue cheese?) is an incredible mix of flavors. I haven't had chorizo balanced with shrimp often (or ever?) and the combination of "surf and turf" is brilliant, and somehow contrasts incredibly well with the chipotle aioli. It's a huge burst of flavor. The bread was soft, the portion large and filling for the price, and service super friendly. Oh - the chocoflan is amazing. Probably one of the best I've had in the city. Flan part is super custardy and not too sweet and very milky. The cake part, which I often find dry and lacking in flavor in similar combinations, was rich and had a tender crumb. Definitely get this for dessert!

It's been a minute since I went here but I think it's even better than I remembered! The Mac salad this time was more flavorful. Not sure what they did to it but typically I almost begrudgingly eat that stuff when it comes with meals (like when I get Hawaiian food) but I couldn't stop eating this one! I also tried the strawberry flan today. The flan on top was suuuper rich. Highly recommend, especially for the price. Lastly, the El Diablo sandwich was spicier (but not too spicy) than last time which I actually appreciate because that was my only complaint last time that it's called El Diablo but it wasn't spicy. It's not a very big sandwich, but they really stuffed it with chorizo and shrimp. Service was very nice and didn't have to wait too long. You order at a walk up window and there's an outdoor bench if you want to eat there

The birria burrito was excellent, flavorful and balanced, soft tortilla, juicy birria, crunchy bright pickled onions and creamy pinto beans and rice. Just right. Didn't like the Cubano, lacked flavor and texture - was honestly not great, bland and mushy/unremarkable bread and a boiled slab of pork. One hit, one miss. Potatoes had good flavor but were cooked in almost unappetizing way - not quite boiled nor pan fried - a little strange.

Had the breakfast torta this past Wednesday morning and WOW! This thing has all of the breakfast stuff I want and then some, love the picked onions in it, the guac and the bread was super yummy. Wasn't the typical bolillo bread at most places, this was more of a ciabatta style bread but still great!!! Food was made fresh to order and didn't take too long and the guy who took my order was super friendly. Walk up window kind of spot. Usually I was gargantuan portions but the torta was actually quality and perfectly sized and the side of Mac salad that came with it was yummy. Will absolutely come back here!

My carnitas tacos were sumptuous- tender, flavorful and plentiful. My missus chicken taco was not that great - no seasoning on the chicken and it tasted like roast chicken sprinkled in a taco. Hence the average of 4 stars.

This place is part of the Valhalla sandwich shop chain. I thought it was an independent shop until I recognized the branding. It's a to-go window with a couple benches in front. Personally, I wish that the sandwich was larger for the price and the macaroni salad had more flavor. I preferred Valhalla. The person working the window was very kind and service was quick. I'd recommend if you just need lunch to quickly take with you.

I have been here a few times now and really love it! Price is reasonable, the owners are super kind, and the food is delicious! It is more of walk up window style of restaurant and perfect for a quick lunch or breakfast! I love to go on a walk to a local coffee shop and stop here for a breakfast burrito or cubano afterwards. I also really like the carne asada burrito! So happy to see this new addition to Georgetown!

The Tortas are on the smaller side. We got the El Diablo and La Bamba and though the ingredients were good on their own, I can't say I enjoyed the flavors working together. We ordered online for a quick pick up (within 15 minutes) so definitely a good place to grab lunch if you're in the area. We were able to easily grab our food from the window. The mac salad was a tad bland and I would skip out on the fries all together.

Hidden gem of a place in Georgetown! This used to be Lorena's Kitchen but then became a Walk up window that does mexican Tortas and burritos! The Cubano is my usual go to torta and has a nice piece of pork belly and sliced ham with cheese and pickles. It's not a classic pressed cuban sandwich but this version is still delicious! When I am feeling more breakfasty they do have a decent breakfast torta with scrambled eggs and two kinds of sausage. Tortas are not gargantuan but are the perfect size for a nice quick lunch. Walk up window only so you will have to take your grub to your car, curb or on a nice stroll around Gtown to enjoy.

Still loving El Pirata. Easy quick stop in Georgetown for tortas, their bierra burrito, or tacos. The taco selection isn't as extensive as some places, but that's ok. $12 and I walked away full on their brisket tacos with rice and beans on the side. Service: friendly and efficient!

Jas Q.

Yelp
Definitely Seattle sized portions, but the flavor of the food was great, it was ready on time, and service was friendly. Skip the fries and get the mac salad, which is not like your traditional regular mac salad from other restaurants but still good. We got El Dorado and the Supreme Chicken Burrito, and would recommend the burrito over the torta as the torta got a bit soggy while taking it to go. Will probably be back!

Came on a hungover Saturday and this hit the spot. There are some reviews stating portions are a bit small, but for the quality it hits just the mark. Quick fast service in a little window that feels like ordering out of Mexico. We came on a sunny day so it was nice to wait on a bench and enjoy the weather while we waited and then ate in a neighboring park. Great addition to the community.

Second El cubano here and it was amazing! The pork belly was perfect with a little crust from the flat top. Definitely coming back here for more!

Mexcellente! It's all great. Fast, delicious, and lots of great options. Strictly a to-go operation but otherwise can't be beat for the area.

True 5***** Story: On my way home, I see this cute little Tortas Spot on the corner of, 12th and Bailey S. (Georgetown) and I almost got whiplash trying to read the colorful menu....so I go to busts U'e (u-turn)...I stopped in BofA parking lot with no where to park just stopped....I looked for this place on Yelp finally I found it but online ordering was for the next day....For safety reasons I parked (ok I doubled parked) and when I couldn't order online (I was only trying to see the menu from the comfort of my car) I decided to get out my car. It was a little past 7p but I could see the OPEN sign and a line. I walk up in awe of the cute lil New spot. I ordered the veggie torta w/ no cheese extra v. tahini sauce. Mr. & Mrs. Andreque run this gem. It's been here for about 9 months, and I've passed it numerous times and didn't see it. Today I decided to slow down and stop to "smell the flowers" and pay attention to my surrounds...and they caught my eye and stopped me in my tracks. A risk non the less because no one can drive up in this B. After flipping the U'e and parking where I wanted to (it was safe) I walk up. Immediately I loved it...Andreque didn't look a bit bothered he was welcoming smiling and ready for my order. Although technically they were closed he told me what was available to order. I ordered my veggie torta w/ v extra sauce (don't get extra too good to smother the yummie'ness). OH MY GOODNESS THE VEGGIE TORTA CHANGED MY LIFE it was so delicious and my side (surprised there was a side) I chose macaroni salad....if u like macaroni salad it was light and delicious. Sometimes when you stop to "smell the flowers" it turns out to be DELICIOUS!!

Delicious and great service! Ordered quite a few items for my employees and order was ready within 15 min and already waiting for pick up when I got there. Everything tasted so fresh and the tortillas... YUM

Their tortas are fire! I had their breakfast burrito, and then came back for the torta! Highly recommended if you're visiting Seattle. I travel a lot for work and can't wait to go back for more. The service is amazing, super nice. The ambiance is small but great. Love this place

I stopped by this place after driving past a few times seeing there was a long line. It's a takeout window only and the staff is nice. This was my first time trying a torta and honestly was kinda disappointed. It's rather small for $13 and it was pretty bland. I tried the asada torta and it didn't have the signature flavorful asada taste. Also, they had these pickled jalapeños on the sandwhich and they had a horrible taste and ruined the sandwich. I will say the ingredients seemed fresh. I may try a different sandwich and omit the jalapeños if I'm in the area and want something quick.

I am a music teacher, what do I know about tortas? Nothing, I confess. However, I know what tastes good and know when something is freshly cooked. I have tried most all of their tortas, and each one was excellent and full of flavor. They also include a side, the best of which is the macaroni salad. Highly recommended!

Delicious tortas and burritos at a super affordable price! The people who run the restaurant are super nice and friendly as well, really happy to have them in Georgetown!

I drove by this place last week and saw a line wrapping around the corner and made note to check it out. They've been open 2 months but now have flags in the ground that definitely make it more visible. I stopped by today and got the chicken habanero as a burrito. This thing was an amazing size and SO DELICIOUS. I had beans and rice added as well per the recommendation of the counter clerk. The flavors were so good. The avocado and chicken were so fresh. The sauce used was tasty and the rice and beans as well good!! This has now become one of my favorites and I'll definitely be stopping by for lunch whenever in the area.

So I was introduced to the EL Diablo by a friend and I must say what a perfect savoring mouth explosion. I have these delivered 25 mins away and they still arrive warm and delectable. Perfect Shrimp and Chorizo combination. I could eat one everyday.
