"Tenoch’s tortas combine all that is good in the world—soft bread, perfectly tender grilled meats, and zingy sauces—into one unbelievable lunch. Our favorites are the asada, featuring smokey charred beef, and the life-changing melty choriqueso that’s loaded with fried chorizo and melted cheese. Round out your order with their creamy horchata, and don’t sweat it when your large, saucy sandwich inevitably falls apart. Tenoch’s casual dining room is a forgiving spot for torta mishaps." - lala thaddeus
"Tenoch has multiple restaurant locations and food trucks these days, not to mention a sit-down restaurant and tequila bar in the works, but it all began over on Riverside Avenue in Medford. It’s best known for its tortas, but Tenoch’s burritos are every bit as good." - Terrence Doyle
"Since opening its first Medford Square location in 2012, Tenoch has earned a cult following—especially for its tortas—and remains a go-to for Mexican food in the area; co-owner Alvaro Sandoval noted that a growing population of young people and families has increased demand for places to eat and hang out, and the Sandoval family still frequents Tenoch while also patronizing other Medford staples." - Terrence Doyle
"Tenoch Mexican — part of a small local chain — has an extensive menu of street food (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc.), but it’s the tortas that have made it one of the most beloved Mexican food restaurants in the area. Try the pastor, which comes with pork in achiote sauce, cilantro, and pineapple, served on traditional telera bread." - Terrence Doyle
"Tenoch is a small, counter-service spot in Davis Square that serves some really good Mexican food. They’ve got very good (and very cheap) tacos, but the tortas are the real reason to come here. Get the one that’s filled with both chorizo and carnitas if it’s your first time." - Dan Secatore
