Fresh-baked bread on tasty tortas , fresh ingredients , sauces made from scratch. Get the spicy Ahogada . Chia lemonade is boba like. Cook’s has a no freezer policy and all pastries are made on site.

Brenda Aguirre

If you love shrimp try Shrimp Po'boy, if you love veggies try the Veggie tofu torta . All their sides are great and tasty but my favorite is the mustard basil potatos !

"You can't find a sandwich like the bacalao torta elsewhere in the city . It has Spanish-style cod , roasted red peppers , garlic , and olives ."- Christian Page Read more

The Fluff Ice™ Truck

Every sandwich we tried here has been great. Personal favorite: Salmon + Cream Cheese with capers . Yum! The Carne Asada is also very popular. Make sure you get the Red Fries as your side too!

Yun Ding

Good bread is absolutely essential to a good sandwich and this bread is GREAT!!! Sourdough rolls, perfectly suited for absorbing all of the juices from these sandwiches .

Brenda Aguirre

Check in occasionally to try their homemade waters, like watermelon , melon , cantalope, pineapple with basil , lemonade with chia, and hibiscus waters !

Billy Amp

The Tortas Selection here is just unreal! Cook me up a Shrimp Po Boy Torta !!

Colleen C

The mole verde and the diabla are my regulars. The santa fe salad is delicious, as are the lime cucumber drinks and the red fries are sweet potato

Carolina Miranda

Portions are monstrous: two could easily share a sandwich . Don't miss the sweet potato fries , made fresh and dotted with chunky ground salt. YUM.

Jeannette S.

So glad I finally tried this place - definitely worth the buzz. I had the California and hubby tried the Molcajete - everything was delicious and we loved the red fries !

Paloma Foster

Milanesa is one of the best, hands down. Crispy breaded meat and the soft bread go together sooo well .

Yun Ding

I was on a mission to try every torta here until I had the bombero . Now I am on a mission to eat the bombero has many times as possible.

Catalina Soria

It's not your typical torta place. They have various specialty/trendy tortas to choose from. My favorite is El Ranchito - slightly spicy with nopales ! Read more

Vanessa Sandoval

The Carne Asada was dry and scarce: my sandwich was mostly lettuce! They must have forgotten the pico de gallo . Try the Mojito (a bit on the sweet side) or Ahogada (spicy !) instead.

Chris Donnelly

Every single torta is delicious and I have eaten almost all of them.

Vaneza Viramontez

Po Boy torta is really good with a large pineapple mint freshly made agua

Connie Chiu

Deliciously complex sammiches . The diablab is super spicy so be careful.

Christof Useedees

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Definitely recommend.

Frank Vasquez

La diabla is legit (and hot) but if you like spicy it's the "bees knees"

Mystery Stopper

Food is great! And La Diabla is no joke! . .But, my buddy says the owner almost mowed-down his kid by speeding down the parking lot . . Juss sayin'

Richard Gutierrez ????

So many great tortas to pick! U can't go wrong!

Jones

El Chavo #8 is a good option for a lighter sandwich

Kaylee K

Try carne asada and al bombero . Also their cucumber lime drink is very good :)

Elizabeth

The address says Montebello, but it's in Monterey Park. Get the frescas (mint watermelon !) and the yummy sandwiches (I had La Diabla - Jalapeno AND Habanero !)

Britt Z

I like the taco taco salad . Today I feel like chicken , so sub the beef for chicken .

Charles T Sebesta

Authentic , Natural, Just good!

Jazmin Ortega

Working my way through the menu. So far the Bombero and Shrimp Po' Boy are faves. The lengua , not so much.

Caryn L

Salmon torta is ridiculously delish! Not your typical torta , but worth a try!

John L.

I asked to make the #6 spicy . It did not disappoint.

Christian Blue

Call your order in so you don't you don't have to bear the crowded line

Noe Tejeda

The BBQ pulled pork torta was pretty good.

Michael Bandy

Everything is exceptionally good here. If you like a blast of flavor get the Ranchito ! Amazing stuff.

Strawberry Guayaba Agua Fresca is so good!

Kelsey Bustamante

Everything is the bomb

Matthew Saucedo

La Diabla...it will melt your face off but man is it a good torta .

Jennifer Liu

If you can take the heat then order the Ahogada . If you can't, then get my 2nd favorite torta here, the Mojito .

Cristian Reyes

Try the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy - Sooooo good!! NOM

Andrew Saleh

Get the carne asada ... but stay away from the lengua . It almost made me wretch...

Seakly

Thomas Guzowski

Fries and cups of agua come in styrofoam!
