Las Pinches Tortas

Omg!!!! I had the birria fries and my kids had the asada fries and they were delicious. The fries alone were well seasoned. The asada was on point and my birria was awesome. My kids could not eat all the half order and were happy to take left overs home. I on the other hand ate it all. And let me tell you I'm full but not overly full. Omg the food was wonderful and I plan on coming back. My guy got the torta cubana and he has helf over because he could only eat half of the torta. We all left happy and full. Thank you we will be back!!!

Excellent food and customer service! Totally recommend to anyone in San Diego to come out and try it. Opened about 6 months ago! Nice menu showing typical expected items and lots of fun surprising food choices. Tortas are fresh and amazing. Definitely recommend this place! Mazapán milkshake was amazingly delicious

Okay so I’ve vegetarian for 3 days lol. Yeah three days. They had an amazing vegetarian torta. Loved it so I got 2 more tacos and guess what ??!!! Loved them too! The owner an the staff that works there are so chill they literally treat you as if you’re family. My new favorite place Thank you Martha,,,,,,

Had a delicious California torta, every part of it was well seasoned and its huge! You can share if you want to. Ill definitely be back to try out their adventurous menu. The milkshakes looked delicious. I'm glad to have something new near El Cajon.

Really good food, staff was very friendly and attentive. We had the mole fries and the California torta, they were both very delicious. The girl that took our order came to our table when we got our food and offeredus the peanut(?) Salsa which they had in the kitchen. Let me tell you, if you are looking for a spicy and flavorfulsalsa, ask for this one! !We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

This torta mecca is palette changing! We decided to visit this location after seeing it's ads on Instagram and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The torta options were amazing. multiple meat options and signature sauces. The meat was etiquette and the bread to inside ratio was on point. There's options for the heat lovers and those with a more mild palette. The dining room is spacious and the workers are extremely courteous and helpful with your option choices. The only bad thing I would say is that the milk shakes are flavored with powders rather than real ingredients, but they are still real ice cream.

Camaron enchilado fries. Bien rico! And don't forget to order these Micheladas. You can pick from straberry, pineapple, mango, tamarindo, and of course the original!

By far the best tortas I've ever had. Excellent quality and service.

Amazing overall I order a chocolate abuelita shake 😍 Staff super friendly Lots of space to dining with your family Parking is also a plus Will definitely come back

Great Tortas. The milkcheiks are amazing as well. I ordered a burrito and though it wasn’t bad, I felt that the Tortas had more flavor and even looked visually appealing. I enjoyed the Tortas more than my burrito, but I will definitely return to try the other items. I’m a green sauce guy, not a fan of face melting hot sauce. Definitely recommend their shakes and Tortas. Comfort food done right. Can’t believe I’ve never been here before.

I visited this spot recently and it was awesome! The atmosphere was bright and festive. The staff and the service was great, but most importantly the tortas were some of the best I've ever had. I order the California Torta and also the Cubano. The Cubano was my favorite because of the three meats. The hot sauces are so goof too! Their hot sauces is a salsa verde has some kick, which I appreciate. My friends had the chile relleno torta and the fish torta. They had all positive things to say about them. Please give this place a visit and order a shake if you have the room.

Wow- what can I say- the ube drink was fantabulous! I truly enjoyed the food. Every bite was delicious. The restaurant is very clean and ambiance is delightful. Worth the drive from Eastlake. Reasonable price, plenty of parking and very pleasant staff.

This place is great. A different menu than most Mexican restaurants and also delicious shakes. I had the El Crunchy which was so good. We also tried the Birria Fries, the meat was perfectly cooked and flavorful. I definitely recommend it.

Always on the hunt for some delicious chilaquiles! These are by far my favorite! Crunchy, saucy, fresh cheese, spicy and did I say crunchy? Soooo good! The best part of all, super friendly staff. We were waiting on one of our friends and we got some delicious molletes on the house! Must try the salsa macha. They also have vegan options 👏👏👏

So much good food, so little stomach. Everything looks good. The Burritorta was a lot but I finished it. The Gansito Milk Shake was to die for. Definitely going to make it a regular stop.

I was visiting some family and they decided to take me here for lunch. I was not expecting it to be anything special because I have had tortas in the past and they have always been acceptable, but nothing to really write home about. However, this place changed my mind about them. At the recommendation from the cashier, I got "El Jefe", and holy cow, it wass good! The meat was tender, everything tasted fresh, and the portion size was huge. I usually can power through a big sandwich, but I was tapped after one half. It may have just been my sandwich, but I would recommend be splitting it. Overall, you will not be disappointed if you eat here, some come get yourself a nice pinche torta.

The tortas are delicious! We also tried the daily special of carnitas in salsa verde. The hot sauces are bomb, I would come back just for the 5 different types of sauces. We can't wait to come back and try something else!

Have been here a few times and never seems to disappoint. The birria fries were delicious. Plenty of food for the price! We finally tried one of the delicious shakes, be sure to drink it there or on the go so it doesn't make a mess in the car.

Nice and clean. Quick service. The food was delicious. Ordered chilaquiles plate with a Abuelita chocolate shake.

Place is clean and well maintained, great customer service. Employees are friendly. I had the Camaron Enchilado plate comes w rice and beans. It was so good!! Also had a Michelada a must try! Will be coming back for sure.

The food is amazing!! the plate I got was really good, and all the food looks good, great customer service, definitely recommend 👌 also try their draft beer!

Excellent service, large portions! Meat was a bit tough but salsas were on point!

Unapologetically the best tortas & shakes in town! The staff was friendly and the food was beyond my expectations. I ordered a torta sandwhich called "La Negra" which has a traditional mole and tastes just like the one I get in Mexico. The shake I got was the Nutella and it looked exactly like in the pictures... beautiful. Very inventive with the Mexican ingredients I must say! Finally something different than your typical Mexican food joint. I will be coming back for more.

Friendly service, good Cafe De Olla, and breakfast - in this case - Chilaquiles Verde.

It was good portions where good but very pricey place was ok its needs something more

The cafe de olla shake was bomb, food was good nothing special just good

I went by El Cajon and got a quick late night grub. The people are friendly and place is nice and clean. Service is good, not rushed. I ordered a surf n turf burrito. The spiciness of the surf was superb, it felt as the meat was marinated well. I would recommend giving it a try 👌

I can't give this one of my usual honest reviews, but I will try. The meat was salty, fries under cooked substantially. But, once I got past the saltiness and undercooked fries, the torta was delectable. The bread of choice a bollio roll was honestly a nice surprise, and made the experience much better as it absorbs any excess liquids from the salsa which was very good. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars and give photos. Maybe next time I come things will be different. This is worth a half hour drive personally speaking.

This Restaurant has become 1 of my all time favorite places. I had the most excellent experience on my last visit and I recommend this place to anyone that is looking for some of the best Mexican cuisine in town. After Christmas I wanted to take my neighborhood friends without a roof out for a bite to eat. I decided that they wanted malts from Pinches. I had seen before and I always wanted one and I have to say it was the best malt I've ever had. I've had breakfast there and rolled tacos both item's were excellent. I was looking for something low-priced priced on the menu. I found Carnitas tacos Tacos on the menu for $3. I ordered one Carnitas taco which consisted of two flour tortillas and pork Carnitas piled so high I only had to order one. It was phenomenal. The shakes and malts are off the Richter. The staff was so nice not just to me but to my neighborhood friends currently residing in the area without me roof over their head. Thank you Pinches

Omg this places !!! Amazing ! Shakes are definitely a sugar comma after but delicious. Tortas are delicious 😋, my family (of 5) and I have been here more than ones. We have tried the monstrous torta, la cubana, el chavo, la negra,milanesa fries, birria fries, spicy shrimp fries and can't remember what else. We are trying to try every on their menu.

Please follow my posts I review a lot of Mexican food from El cajon all the way to Los Angeles... I told the staff that they could check their review tomorrow I'm not a pretentious person or anything, I gave a four star because I only ordered a torta and I have not ordered any of their actual Mexican food yet, I'm sure I will love their Mexican food and then I will update my review to a five-star, So far I have ordered a torta and here is what I think of this sandwich, As you can see in the photos my kids really liked it I loved the flavor and the carne asada was pretty tender and typical of what you would expect, If you see the photos you can see that it's a pretty big sandwich, I'm not usually fond of things that have a lot of bread but if I was in the mood for bread I would have absolutely loved this torta, it was beautiful in appearance and did not disappoint when I bit into it The bread was moist crispy at the same time buttered I believe on the outside, and definitely large enough for a grown man to be satisfied, HOT 🔥 SAUCE Green: this mild sauce seems a little bit fresher than most green sauces I have had I could have drank 10 oz of this stuff! my favorite dish with green sauce is rolled tacos 😋 Yellow: the yellow sauce was by far the most flavorful it really had a hot punch to it, I believe it is a habanero sauce I can't wait to have this on a bean and cheese burrito, definitely one of the best flavors in sauces I've had in El cajon! Red: typical red sauce but like I said again a little more flavorful than most I can't wait to try this on my carne asada burrito with guacamole and cheese... Upon entering the store the staff is very friendly they don't seem too busy yet but I'm sure the El cajon community will start gravitating toward Las Pinches Tortas, I can't wait to try their carne asada burrito beef tacos rolled tacos bean and cheese burrito carne asada quesadilla carne asada chips carne asada fries 🍟 and Pollo asado burrito which are the seven items that are family typically gets from any given place, thank you guys for the torta I look forward to cruising back and reviewing your other food, and please be reassured I typically don't give anything less than a four or five star if I don't like certain foods I just don't review them I want to guide people toward positivity and good things because I love the El cajon community and the small businesses that make this city thrive!!!

Pretty good but there’s barely any hot sauce in it . Nice workers though 👍🏼👍🏼

The price point was too high for the quality of the tortas and lack of complexity of the flavors. My family and I got some of their staple tortas to give them a try and all 4 had the same flavor and stale bread. Bolillos are super cheap, so for you all not to stock fresh ones daily is irresponsible! Especially when y’all have tortas in your name. The food and beverages are instagrammable for sure, but don’t go expecting a quality meal.

Paid like $30 for two tortas combos. The steak has a very good flavor but the milanesa a bit dry for my taste. The combo came with Pepsi fountain drunk and seasoned fries.

.. First time in this location worst experience dry chiken dry potatoes and meat did not taste fresh at all food could have had more flavor .. Price did not match food and no excuse for current situation of covid 19

Pros: the fries taste great. The tacos taste great. The milkshakes are really really good. Friendly and quick service. Having said that, this restaurant misses the mark on many small details that makes the experience subpar. 1 they give fries without ketchup nor without a fork 2 the tacos taste great but had very little cilantro, three tiny pieces of chopped onion and no salsa. Tacos need to have onions and salsa. Frankly i hate onions but I’m a unique mexican in that sense. 3 drinks were given to me without lids during a pandemic. 4 the milanesa on the fries was super dry and burnt. Overall the food looked great tasted great but there were so many little misses that it brought the experience down. Luckily for them these minor annoyances can be eliminated with experience. And that’s really what i think they’re missing. I’m confident that in a year i will rate this place as 5 stars. And i will be coming back. Bon appetite

I have heard really good things about this place but today it didn’t fit the bill. I going to let it slide because it was close to them closing but the food was bad. The roll tacos were over cooked and did not taste good. The Pinche Torta meat was tough. I normally give a place 2 chances but I doubt I go back since it cost us way more then we planned on spending.

its not the same as before and smaller portions plus they took the milkshake machine still haven’t updated online so people think os the same place but its not

I loved this restaurant since they opened & me & my family would always come. However, today I went to the restaurant & there was mold on my tortilla & I ordered in advance, got to the restaurant after speaking with the cashier & was told the order will be ready within 6 mins. I ordered for the food to be prepared a little later than my call & she said no problem we can start the order at 2:15. I got to the restaurant around 2:30 & my order wasn't even done. I loved this restaurant, but I think I'll have to pass for any future business.

We walked in thinking we were going to get a tasty torta. First of all it smelled like a dirty stinky bathroom but we still wanted to give the food a try. We ordered two tortas one was a Torta ahogada and the other was asada with chorizo. Let me start with the asada with chorizo. The taste of the chorizo was off. It seemed like it was old. The asada meat was non- existent since the chorizo over powered it. The torta ahogada was drenched in a tomatoe sauce that had no flavor. I know that a torta ahogada sauce is supposed to have a distinct flavor made with spices. The sauce had none. We should have just thrown away our $27 and some change that we paid for the food. We didn't eat the food really, most of it went into the trash. Then when we went to grab a table we noticed a big roach on the floor. Also the bathroom smell was very strong. We will not be returning to this place. There prices for what we got were ridiculously high. We were very disappointed since it had good reviews. Our experience was totally different.
