As background I spend a fair bit of time in Texas and California where there are a lot of Mexican/Hispanic street vendors and nothing beats a good street taco for a quick snack. A few of them and you've got yourself a damn fine meal.
So when I was in the neighborhood the other day thought it would be a great opportunity to finally check out Las torillas and boy am I happy I did. The cook (and i would assume the owner) was very friendly and while I watched him putting together my order it put a smile on my face to see that he took pride in his product and restaurant. I went with the beef, pork, chicken and tongue. All were served with a unique salsa...from memory I believe the chicken was with salsa verde, the beef was with salsa taquera, the pork with the salsa roja (the pork and beef might have been vise versa with the salsas) and the tongue had a sort of mushy salsa fresca. Regardless of the meat/salsa combo ALL were wonderfully flavorful. Each different where you could pick up the unique tastes of each meat and the salsas. Nothing was over powering or too spicy (don't get me wrong, some did have a definite kick). Of my four selections its honestly difficult to pick a favorite. All were great. Only warning I'll provide is the tongue well, it looks like tongue. The other meats are shredded but the tongue is just a nice thick slice of meat with all the little funky taste-buds in full view. If you're a little squeamish about your food you might want to pass.
Also have to give props for the tortillas sold in bulk. I picked up a package and made a great batch of huevos rancheros for the girlfriend and I for breakfast this morning.
Las Tortillas is really a great reminder of why it pays to go off beaten path and in particular to try the little Mom & Pop shops. Awesome food and great service by people who care.
