Los Reyes De La Torta

"What is more Phoenix than eating a cactus? Nopales are typically associated with central and southern Mexico, where the nopal cactus grows abundantly, and have long been commonplace in Phoenix restaurants. Cactus paddles from the plant are scraped free of any thorns, grilled, and sliced into strips. At Los Reyes de la Torta, they can be served atop huaraches — a thick, oblong masa base topped with refried beans, cheese, and fresh toppings — or offered in a classic corn quesadilla dish. They make for a vegetarian-friendly option that perfectly embodies Arizona." - Mcconnell Quinn

"Our favorite tortas (Mexican sandwiches) in the city are at Los Reyes de la Torta. The bread is soft, the fillings are delicious, and it’ll be so large you’ll wonder how you ever spent $10 on anything else. The most popular torta - and our favorite - is the Norteña with chipotle-marinated chicken or steak with caramelized jalapeños, onions, melted mozzarella, and a smear of refried beans. Pair it with one of their many shareable frescas (freshly squeezed juices) or even better, BYOB. Los Reyes is a larger space than Tacos Chiwas, but still super casual." - Joanna Boyle
