Tortas are great!!! My girlfriend loves this place. I'm very happy we have included Tortaria into our relationship bc it makes everything in life better. She would leave me for the eggplant torta tho

Nora Thajudeen

Great margaritas ! Get the pitchers , they are cheaper! The tacos are incredible! Their condiments are a god-send and make chips and guac a next level experience! Incredible vibe! Pricey for tacos tho

Graylyn Roose

Loved the eggplant torta topped with avocado and jalapeño . Quick service , large menu and the torta are more filling than you think. It's a must try if you're near Union Square!

Jerlissa Paulino

The food is just delicious!! I have the torta burger , fries and the mini chimichangas . Very unique flavors! Highly recommended. The prices are a little bit to high for the portions.

Elizabeth Burstein

Awesome Mexican spot with delicious fish tacos ! Love their fast service . Yummy margaritas too. Cool island fiesta vibe.

Diego Romero

Great music and better food! Meals starts with an excellent homemade guacamole and chips . Order any of the taquitos , specially Mahi Lime and al Pastor !

Loren

Reliably tasty and a fun atmosphere (good playlist, too loud for conversation some times. ) don't bother with the salads . I love the eggplant torta and cauliflower tacos .

Jessica de Oliveira

Sad that they raised prices recently, but you can't go wrong with the the $3 empanadas . This place is hoppin, always a young crowd and the music is the perfect blend of deep and tropical house.

Nina Cebenko

Loved everything I had here! Perfect spot for affordable drinks and small bites w a few friends. Bathrooms also have some spectacular decor ;)... Don't forget to ask for a shot of the house tequila !

Velvet Lerange

Very cozy cute Mexican restaurant with a variety of drinks and delicious food. The staff is friendly and service is fast. Definitely recommended.

Arjumand Bonhomme

Great taquitos/tacos! Steak Del norte is probably my fav. The seasonal bbq lobster roll was meh. Prices are a little on the high side, but overall I love this place.

Julia Monti

Great atmosphere. Food is delicious. Get the chicken chimichangas and a small guacamole . Good looking customers and great music . Would be a fun first date spot .

Teeker Kaj

Eggplant torta is great, but the size of a ShakeShack Burger . Sauces at table are good (smoked, BBQ Mayo ?, red & green) Cauli taco is good. Drafty in winter - needs a temp door.

D Garcia

I'm Mexican, so listen to me when I tell you that I like this place. The tortas are not big. But they are done really well . Imagine your Mexican mom being a chef and doing things uppity style.

Mauro

Al pastor tacos were sweet and satisfying, guac was fresh, and raspberry margarita pitcher was masterfully crafted. But chips are too salty IMHO and tortillas fresh but break easily.

Joe Z

Simply finding a spot to sit down can be a challenge sometimes but the staff will help out where they can. Be sure to order a side so you can nibble while you wait.

Anderson Heinz

Amazing food and pretty good margaritas . The atmosphere is super fun, if not a little too Disney World themey. I had a really nice time. Chicken and ham torta is delicious.

Emma Cramer

The margarita flavor of the day is significantly cheaper! I have a feeling it's always lemon lime , but whatevs it's still tasty.

Frank Rimalovski

Love this place! No burritos but awesome tacquitos, ESP the carnitas . Will be back to try the tortas . A little pricey but great! Must try the chipotle cream salsa . (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Christen Clinkscales

Beware the margaritas . They are delicious but deadly. The taquitos : order the fish . I can see how it may get overlooked, but they are by far the best!

Jessie Miño

The fresh fruit margaritas are amazing here. Specifically the pomegranate and watermelon . If you want a great meal the steak quesadillas , thumbs up.

Terena P.

As the name suggests, the tortas are fantastic. The bread is slightly different than you'd expect but nonetheless very good. The guac was good but nothing to write home about.

Sissy Sol

I must say the esquite corn is the closest thing to the real deal I've had in NY. Raspberry chili passion margarita is delicious :)

Sam Herbert

Grab a pitcher of margaritas , some guac , and hang with friends at the big table.

Jessica Densky @ NextStopNY

Even if you are not a vegetarian , try the eggplant . Amazing. Live on UES, but any trip to Union Square includes a visit to Tortaria.

Steph Katrina

The best. Chicken Milanese Torta is my fav. Their fries are great. Their margaritas are even better!

Avneesh Kohli

They may be known for their tortas , but their burritos are awful. The ambience here is pretty cool though. If you’re here, try their 3 bottled salsas from the counter.

Donny Tsang

$8.50 for a pretty delicious chicken burrito . It is toasted/pan fried/pressed(?)..not sure how they did it but a plus for a crispy burrito .

Donna S

Great fish tacos and plantains . Good post movie spot (close to union Square Regal Movie Theater ). Cute bartender . ????

Juan Canas

Great place. Great food. Great people. Great Guacamole . Great great great great Plátano with Crema .

Mike Bales

They'll call your name-make sure to listen for it! I've heard them yell for a customer over 12 times before they heard it. Also, I just go with "the deal" every time. I have yet to be disappointed.

JenKudu

Made to order guacamole and sweet plantains are awesome! Pollo asado taquitos are delicious. Torta bun is a little stale and dry.

Nitzan B

How does this place not rated higher?? Amazing food, so many margarita choices and a good prices!! Will come back

Ali Rose

Margaritas & deep house vibes. Win-win! But seriously - they play really good music !

Brian Masefield

The twice-grilled burritos are a delicious stroke of genius. Completely hearty, too. Portions are just the right size.

Katerina Kuv

Spacious Mexican restaurant , variety of dishes and drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating

Guha Arunkumar

Get the margarita pitcher and the veggie burrito . Great stuff! All the makings of a fun night ahead hah.

Philip Calabro

bring a date and get the guac for two. add margaritas and you're set for the night! This place is awesome!

Fredy Fierros

Must try the churros . They come with a chocolate dipping sauce that is just amazing and also the spicy fries are to die for! Yumm...

Latiesha Caston

The BEST fried icecream I've ever had. And I've had a lot of fried icecream .

Haley Jones

Carnitas taquitos are really great. The bun the torts came on was a letdown though... Hamburger buns ? Really? "The Deal" is a Decent deal, if you need a beer with your Mexican food . Which you should.

Phil Calçado

Terraria is always great, try the total and guac for two. Quesadilla is a bit small

suzanne ????

Crispy eggplant torta paired with fresh gauc (prepared in front of you) and you're in for a hearty lunch .

Audrey Chatel

Brunch each saturday and sunday until 3pm torta huevos rancheros is really great!

Amy Shackelford

My favorite fish taco place in Manhattan. Always order spicy fries ! I come here way too often...

Leah Hammerschlag

Great spot serving tasty food and drinks late. Everything with steak ????????

Julia Reinstein

Get the Milanesa de pollo torta and a raspberry chili margarita . Amazing.
