"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.

"Over the years, this popular spot has become a staple in Davis, with a menu updated to include breakfast options. It’s best known for its tortas: Mexican sandwiches made with meat, sauce, and fluffy white telera rolls. In addition to the fabulous and affordable tortas, Tenoch also makes excellent burritos and tacos. Originally from Medford, this shop has expanded to locations in Boston, Cambridge, Malden, and Melrose." - Valerie Li Stack
"It’s no secret that the Tenoch tortas are exceptional. Tenoch — a small local chain with locations in Medford, Somerville, Melrose, and Boston’s North End — also has torta options that are fairly unique compared to the rest of the Boston torta scene, with both pescado (fish) and vegetales (roasted vegetables) on the menu. A spread of chipotle mayo on all of the tortas guarantees a creamy, spicy, and flavorful sandwich every time." - Karen Wilber
"Pretty much everything’s good at Tenoch, a counter-service Mexican place on Highland, so if you grab some tacos with carnitas or chorizo and melted cheese, you’ll be happy. But you really should be coming here for the tortas. The bread is perfectly toasted, they’re all under $10, and they’re stuffed with some great fillings like adobo pork or roasted vegetables. If you don’t know where to start, go with the campechana, which has both chorizo and carnitas." - dan secatore
