Tortas ahogadas los primos

So we moved from Southern California to Chicago, and of course, aside from missing our family, the great Mexican food is also being missed. One place that we really loved was the tortas ahogadas from Los Primos in Santa Ana. Yes, on my trip last year back home to visit family, I off course got me 10 tortas, and the owner graciously packed them for me to take back home on the flight, and they were awesome. Now, they deliver!! We are super excited to be their first delivery customer, and the owner, Victor, has been awesome. The tortas arrived today, 12 of them and we just prepared some per his instructions and they were excellent!! We are thrilled that we can now get those famous Tortas ahogadas from Los Primos that remind us of that great food in So Cal. I highly recommend you giving these a try, specially if you live in another state like I do and want authentic tortas ahogadas!! And yes, they use birotes from Mexico!!

Best place in town for tortas ahogadas if you love spicy🔥 then this is your spot. They also have Qusadillas, Burritos, Tostadas, tacos and tacos dorados. Los primos Tortas ahogadas deserves 5 🌟 Review!

Really good torta very close authentic to what they have in Guadalajara. I didn't order the torta ahogada but if felt like it was ahogada in creama. They really went heavy with that crema, for sure. The potatoe tacos were pretty good though. They took a little long to get my order out, so probably be best to call ahead of time. Mad props to the guy who came thru with churros they really hit the spot during the wait.

Now this is a good tortas place!!! Great service. Fast pace. And well served!!! Authentic flavor on each bite!!!

Really delicious tortas I definitely will came back for more the tacos Dorados are really good too good customer service everything was on point 👍

My first time here and it meet all my expectations. Really good and highly recommend

The tortas were DELICIOUS! I had the torta ahogada Spicy version. So tasty! Not for the faint of heart!

Had torta illegal, off the hook BUT be careful salsa was on fire!!!!

Best super best tortas hogadas Los tacos de barbacoa fire Love it mínimo 3 veces por semana

Tortas ahogadas y tacos dorados de carne, y las jericallas. Las mejores del condado .

Deliciously spicy torta options and more. The spice level is customizable and they have more than just tortas. I like their agua de horchata as well.

They close at what ever time they feel like it. Left the office in Irvine at 4:45 got there at 5:30 Primo said we're closed already. I saw a couple had just finished ordering as I pulled up. I asked, what time do you guys close? He said, 6. Well 5:30.... I said, Yelp says 8. Google says 7. I get it, you want to home. You think that loosing one customer now is not a big deal. But no regard for your customer. It's a shame, customer service is non existing anymore. Btw, I live in riverside, I should've just gone straight home should I have known.........

The food is good but the speed is horrible. I've been waiting 30 mins for tacos de barbacoa. This isn't the first time it's taken this long. Maybe this is the last time they get my business. HORRIBLE!!!!

Tortas Ahogadas Los Primos in Santa Ana is a Mexican taco truck serving up bomb and authentic Mexican food hot off the griddle with great customer service for over 20 years They have plenty to offer like their Tortas Ahogadas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more! I got their original Torta Ahogada which comes with Carnitas and their Taco de Barbacoa and both were very good! If you haven't tried a Torta Ahogada before, you must check it out! It's a crunchy bread roll filled with meat and drenched in their sauce and it's so spicy and delicious! I also loved their Barbacoa tacos! They were made really well and I loved the flavor of the Barbacoa. Definitely stop by if you're looking for an authentic and great Mexican food experience.

Ordered tacos dorados and they turned out to be very soft tacos and unable to eat them because everything would fall out.. also, I had to ask for my agua de horchata 3xs ! Bad service overall

I've tried this place a few times & went this past weekend since the other torta ahogada truck we like was super crowded. It had been a couple years since we last came here. The first thing I noticed was the difference in price. It was $55 for 3 tortas ahogadas, 2 tacos ahogados & 3 drinks.. which isn't terrible (and it seems as if the price of everything has gone up recently, so it's to be expected.. I especially don't mind when I'm supporting small business), but we pay about $10 less at the other spot we go to for the same amount of food & drinks. The tortas were good! I like the bread they use. They hit the spot because we were all craving tortas ahogadas, but they definitely weren't worth returning again for. They didn't put very much meat in the tortas & the salsa wasn't on point for us. This probably mostly has to do with the fact that we are used to the flavor of the place we go to more often. This spot is definitely worth a try, as you may love it (and it seems like a lot of other people do), but for me a solid 6/10 seems like a fair rating over all.

Las mejores q e probado ambiente familiar y muy recomendados muchas gracias por su servicio familiar y su sabor y el birote muy crujiente y sabroso....

Nada que ver el pan es un bagget, el pan en la torta ahogada junto con la salsa lo es todo , no vale la pena

They always late ciempre llegan tarde el horario dise alas 10am a 7 pm y pero abren alas 11:10 Q ROLLO y esta carito como si fuese restaurante no pagan renta ni cervicios Q ROLLO........;;)):$$:$:$;

So good! Tortas ahogadas como de Guadalajara y los tacos de barbacoa con queso- los mejores que e comido!

I've been coming here for over 10 years, this place is always consistent. The best ahogadas in the area.

Food truck right on 5th street in Santa Ana. Cannot miss it. The area is ghetto but who cares. Its all about the food. The guy asked, "for here or togo?" What? For here? Where? Well, seems like they have baskets that can be used as seats and tables. I think I'll just take it togo. Not like I am afraid to sit in the street, but just prefer to enjoy my food privately. Got the $10 beef tortas with hot sauce and it was pretty good. Quick and easy meal. Would I eat here again? Maybe if were in the area.

Hands down some of the best tacos dorados I've had. I know this place is known for it tortas ahogadas but everytime I come to this little gem of a food truck I always order the tacos dorados con frijol with carnitas. These tacos are so bomb. The tacos are fried then you can either get them with frijol, requeson or papa. I also get them sencillos which means they will cover your tacos with a very mild salsa along with delicious marinated sliced white onions. But the most important part of ordering this way is that they do not get drenched in thier famous picante. I enjoy some spiciness but be warned this picante is spicy. You can always order your food without the picante and add as much or as little as you want otherwise your food will be covered and I mean covered in this delicious yet spicy sauce. This food truck usually has people already waiting before it even arrives to the location. And has limited outdoor bench seats but you can always go and eat in your car like so many do. You can also call ahead and get an order for pick up to avoid the lines. Next time I am in the area I will definitely have to try more on thier menu.

The food here is pretty damn good. The chilaquiles never disappoint. Their aguas frescas are legit. Definitely worth trying.

Good food, the closest to Jalisco tortas ahogadas i have gotten. However, the food truck takes forever to complete orders (granted they are almost always busy). I tried ordering over DoorDash one day, the order went through and it said they were open at their regular location, but they were not there. I had to call DoorDash for a refund, which I got pretty easily. Next time I called to make sure they were there and open, and placed my order over the phone. When I went to pick it up they said they didn't have my order, then said they found it but wasn't ready (this was already 10 min after pick up time since I waited in line for a while). I probably waited about 30-40 for everything. Worth it to go if you're not in a hurry.

Absolutely the best tortas! Highly recommend this place, you must try! The bread is slightly crispy and the salsa is delicious. The taco de papa is so good, they top it with carnitas and salsa. The cheese tacos are one of the best I've ever had! Scrumptious...really you have to try this place.

Almost $80 for 3 tortas and 8 tacos de papa I know everything is expensive but not for a food truck with no tables and shades big disappointment

The best in the game ! Requesón tacos are so delicious a Long with of course carnitas tortas

Tortas Ahogadas are the best tortas ahogadas all OC. The Torta Ahogada Is originally from Guadalajara México. And it suppose to be extremely hot. The Torta Ahogada Is a sourdough bread very crunchy with carnitas and drench in hot sauce. You can order it hot, medium or mild. The flavor of the Torta Ahogada Is superb. Than you have the tacos, the tacos are crunchy tacos with cheese, patatoe and beans are served with cabbage and carnitas on top and also drench with the desire sauce you want. Go and try everything. It's amazing.

Im an Inland Empire resident, yet the drive down here to Santa Ana is beyond worth it. This food truck is an urban staple in this region and if you enjoy spicy challenges make sure to check this spot out.

****Somebody call the Firefighters! My mouth is on fire!! The decal on the side of the truck has a mexican dude, with a sombrero, blowing fire out of his mouth is legit. One of the spicest food I've ever had the pleasure to try. After heading to Santa Ana to donate a tv to Goowill (this place accepts 26 in' +), we had our eye on some good looking tortas drizzled with sauce all over it "Ahogada". From the yelp description, the food was mexican but upon arriving we realized it was also a food truck that seemed to be their permanent spot. It was situated on a small street with cars lined on both sides. On the sidewalk, they had a small bench set up against a fence and it was littered with customers. People were littered about standing, sitting in their cars, and on the benches in order to scarf down their delicious meal. After perusing the menu, we decided to tentatively order the carnitas ahogada, being that we weren't sure how good, or bad, this was going to be. After a short wait, our order came out, a beautiful torta screaming bright red due to the sauce; there were slices of onions and extra pieces of carnitas shrewn about. The first bite yielded emotions ranging from slight confusion, to recognition, to awe, and then love. It was slightly confusing to us noobs that the bread they used was soo hard, but then the delicious and flavorful carnitas hit us, along with the combination of the sauce, created utter magical explosions in our mouth! We also started to understand that maybe we were supposed to let the sauce soak into the hard bread to soften it up a bit and to further flavor the torta. Amazing, we've never tried anything like it. 5.0 stars! After getting our feet wet, we decided to venture into bigger game and tried the Pastor Tacos and Pierna Tacos. Pastor-5.5 stars! One of the best, fatiest, oiliest, most flavorful adobado tacos! For $2 a piece, you get tacos fully loaded with protein and even slices of avocadoes Pierna- 4.5 stars! Didn't know what it was at first, but the owner said pork leg. Again the shreds of proteins yielded tasty results but I didn't find it as tasty as adobado. To wrap this up, I talked to the owner for a bit and it seemed like these guys were around for at least 15 years already, but I guess real authentic mexicans, that know how to eat, don't really yelp. It was a little different from the hipster food trucks we were used to, but heck, I'd take this roach coach over any of those fads any day! Can't get any more authentic than this, definitely deserving of a MUY BUENO stamp!

Good stuff! I was looking for a good Tortas Ahogadas spot and I found one. This place serves some pretty close to authentic Tortas. I took one to go but next time I want to try one there on the spot. Maybe it's a little fresher. But it was good, I only removed two stars for location, it's on a really busy street and hard to find parking. Keep in mind this is a lunch truck. I also removed a star because area outside does not look clean, there was trash everywhere and that area needs to be cleaned up. Other than that it's a good tasting torta

This is the best tortas and taco place exelente service great food , and friendly they have tortas ahogadas and tacos de chicharron and they have birria to.this place is amazing ,I recommended definitely come over and enjoy the best Mexican food.

Came down from Corona to what I thought was the original los primos tortas ahogadas. Was totally disappointed when my husband came back with the torta ahogada. At first glance I noticed the difference. The bread was different and the sauce lacked color. I took the first bite and I was not impressed with it bc it Didn't have flavor and the sauce was watered down. We also ordered some tacos dorados preparados and those were another let down. The huge chunky cabbage pieces and pickled onions overpower the whole plate. I bet all the 5 star reviews are for the previous owner bc the food we had was not even worthy of 1 star. DONT BE FOOLED! If you're looking for the original "Los primos" they are now TORTAS AHOGADAS LA GUERA.

I just called to ask a question, the guy who answered apparently doesn't speak English, so I guess that explains why he decided to hang up on me? Pretty rude. Looks like I Won't be going here...

Tortas Ahogadas are fire! The tacos dorados are also fire! Portions are very generous and they even threw in a few free tacos to try! Definitely a great first experience! Perfect hangover food!

The service is really good and fast, obviously the food is really really good. The tacos ahogados with cueritos is my favorite plate

Finally I got to see and taste this famous tortas,now I know what the fuzz is all about,I went to Disneyland and is about 15 minute drive from there. Is a food truck but the food is REALLY good!! I got me the Torta original,two tacos,one pastor taco and one carnitas taco,sooooooo good!!!

Got the Granada (pretty spicy) and it was perfect and exactly what I was craving. I would definitely recommend coming here if you like spicy tortas ahogadas

Taste just like a torta ahogada from Guadalajara. One bite into the torta and it was flash back to walking down the pebbled streets of Mexico. The bread taste just like the Mexican bolillo.

I was heading to my usual spot El Toro for tacos but as fate would have it, I stumbled upon the food truck Los Primos. It wasn't a yelp review that brought me to this place, it was the crowd. As I approached the truck, I didn't want to stare at what others were eating so I focused on the menu. The star at this place are tortas ahogadas. I'll say I consider it the Mexican French dip but with a kick since your bread is soaked in chili instead of au jus. We tried the Illegal torta, yummy goodness. The cheese held up to meat and bread which was a great combination. I just had to try the tostada de cueritos. What are cueritos? finely cut strips of pork skin marinated in vinegar. Add it to a crunchy tostada topped with retried beans and you have a tostada that will keep you full for hours. And of course, I had to get two tacos al pastor. Meat was nicely marinated served with the usual toppings of cilantro, onions and salsa. However what I liked was that they included slices of avocado and radishes which cooled my mouth from the spiciness of the salsa. I have a new find in Santa Ana and I'm ready to head back with family as well as start a culinary tour of lunch trucks in Santa Ana.

This was one of my favorite places for tortas ahogadas but was incredibly disappointed with the food my last visit. The bread was soggy and broke up easily. The salsa and spicy sauce looked like water and had no flavor. I bought a tejuino which tasted rotten and looked like it had flower balls in it. I basically waisted $30 dollars because I threw away my food. I'm not sure what changed but I will never return. :(

I stopped by for a Tejuino which cost me $5, it was disgusting. It was literally old and taste super rotten.

BOMB.COM This place is a must in orange county. The location: It's a little hole in the wall. It's a truck on a semi busy street but they do have a small place where you can sit. The Service: A++ The employees there are very attentive and make you feel welcomed the moment u first arrive, I forgot to order a couple of things when I went and there was a long line to go back but the cashier noticed and instantly helped me. The Food: Hands down, these are the best Tortas Ahogadas in OC! They bring the bread directly from Mexico which makes the Tortas taste authentic. What I got was a torta ahogada de carnitas with a Taco de Frijol. Also I would really recommend you try a Jericalla it's like a combination of flan and creme brûlée Tip: Be careful with the hot sauce its really spicy!

Delicious tortas ahogadas! Very nice service and well organized. Also tried the tejuino and it was so good!

We have been here a few times for the tortas ahogadas and I would say it's the best ones we have tried around this region. Having a wife that comes from the place where the tortas were invented (Jalisco) believe me we know our tortas. The only issue we have seen is that recently, looks like the bread used for the tortas (birote salado) has gotten skinnier. Flavor very good, size of the portion on the small side. We have also tasted the quesadillas and regular tortas and pretty much they have the same average flavor that you can find in any Mexican food place. If you come to this place make sure it's for the tortas ahogadas. The food truck is on the street so parking is not a problem. Also due to the Covid 19 situation there is no room to eat outside besides a bench for maybe two people with proper distancing.

I got 2 Tortas Vikinga and Especial , the Vikinga to me was bland. It had pork leg meat which didn't have much flavor, the flavor I tasted came from the crema and mustard. I was surprised that avocado did not come with this sandwich. The next torta is the Especial this was a little better. It had salchicha aka hotdog weinies , chorizo, carnitas and a stingy sprinkle of asada and again no avocado. The salty chorizo taste was very strong and it over powered the whole sandwich. I wished that avocado was in the sandwich maybe if I had asked for it but I just wanted to try this place for the Tortas. Overall I give it 2 stars. Why would you include avocado in your tacos but not your Tortas??? I don't know? I would come back here again for their tacos but not their Tortas.

Holy Crap! I have just had the best torta in a long time... it was a torta de lomo and it was perfection! The sauce is spicy but perfect, 3 people here at work have said the same thing, I will quote one of them who is Mexican and is very picky with his food, he said: "If I was in death row and they asked me what would I want for my last meal, I would say I want 3 of the lomo tortas" wow is all I have to say...

The Torta Marciana (ordered muy picosa) was simply amazing! Crunchy bread, flavorful carne asada, tasty queso panela, crema, jitomate, cebolla, mostasa, then drowned in salsa picosa. I look forward to coming back to try the Vikinga and also the Granada, which is supposed to be super spicy. UPDATE: I came back the next day and the Torta Ilegal is the ahogada (wet) version of of the Vikinga. It's the same as the Marciana but with pierna (pork leg) instead of asada (beef). The pork is very tender and flavorful, but I prefer the carne asada on the Torta Marciana. My wife tried the tacos ahogados and said they were really good too. I'm going to try the tacos "bien preparada" like one Yelper suggested. Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. This place is unlike any I've been too and I'll be coming back again soon to try all the tortas ahogadas. PROVECHO!

Honestly anything you get is very delicious! Mouth watering tacos with cheese mmmmm!!!

Really good food. We had the tortas ahogadas very delicious...will be back to try their other items.

Happen to be in the Area ‍ so I Yelped "Tortas Ahogados" ( wife's favorite lunch ). We showed up and it's a Lunch Truck ( didn't know that*we love lunch trucks ,,just wanted a sit down lunch ) so we're like OK ,,, let's try this ,,, can't judge a book by its cover & lil did we know they have Panela Tortas That's my wife's favorite & not all Torta places sell them ,,, it's rare ,,,, and YES this Roach Coach is Bomb.com Fire all day !!! We will come back

I can't go into detail about what I ordered as it's been awhile to remember what I ate.. I was super excited to try this out though, as one of my Mexican friends pointed this out to me.. and who better to trust than people that were born with it? Sandwiches and me get along. I love them, a combination of carbs, protein, some healthiness from onions, lettuce, tomato, calcium if there's cheese.. all packed into one easy to eat submarine of goodness. For a measly $5, (suckit Subway), you can get yourself a boatload of food. I got a sandwich which had pork, a very thick layer of cheese, some veggies, and hot sauce. Upon first bite, it was a lot of bread. As I kept eating and analyzing what was on my tongue, I just found that this was a very okay sandwich. Maybe I had ordered the wrong thing, but I really wanted to experience the magic that is of Torta Ahogadas Los Primos. After awhile, I had to eat this open faced as the carbs were catching up to me. If I was in the area, I'd drop by again, but I don't think I'd make the effort to drive here..unless someone else did :D

This place is fire I always get the torta ahogadas, it's sooo good !!!! Be ready to wait cause every time I go (weekends) there's a long line ! And make sure your order correctly cause there's a lady that tends to make mistakes hasn't happened to me, but when I'm waiting for my food there's always one or two ppl who state the order is wrong !

Best tortas ahogadas en California period! Try tacos al pastor the best I ever had and this guys are not even chilangos!!! Service is so welcoming they really treat you like a primo!

Salsa needs a little work. But to have these in the OC.... so happy. I miss the bolillos from Guadalajara though.

Very overpriced 27.00 for 1 torta ahogada and a order of tacos Dorado and a drink ! What! Torta was ok ,nothing compared to Chagos or Chiva Loca . Will not be returning due to high prices , both of the Above mentioned restaurants would have charged 18 to 20 dollars for that same order and are couple notches better, taste and food quality wise. Sauces were too pasty But had a decent flavor.
