Hearty, stuffed Mexican sandwiches on buttery, toasted bread.
"The unmistakable “I Love (heart) Tortas” sign above the entrance is easy to spot. That is important because this shop dedicated specifically to the Mexican split roll sandwich should not be missed. Try the super Cubana, a hearty handheld that combines ham, skirt steak, pulled pork, hot dogs, and scrambled eggs with chorizo. For a lighter meal, select the Hawaiian, a concoction of ham, pork chop, grilled pineapple, and melted cheese." - Brianna Griff
"The sandwiches at Las Tortas Perronas seem to defy the laws of physics, or at least the laws of how many ingredients one sandwich should contain. The Chilanga torta here gets loaded with at least six kinds of meat, as well as cheese, and another six toppings like guacamole and refried beans, all squished between soft bolillo bread. For all the jamón, salchicha, and breaded skirt steak on the torta, it’s a miracle you don’t have to unhinge your jaw to eat this. Every bite tastes rich, slightly spicy, and light—especially if you get extra salsa poured on top." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Look out for the “I Love (heart) Tortas” sign, and you’ll know you’re in the right spot. As the name implies, this Spring Branch shop prides itself on its bad-ass tortas with buttery, toasted bread stuffed with tender grilled meats and diner’s choice of toppings. Try the favorite spicy and sweet Hawaiian, which is decked out with ham, pork chop, and grilled pineapple, and pair it with a thirst-quenching melon agua fresca." - Brittany Britto Garley
