Yelper Steven G., who reviewed Las Tortas Perronas on Feb 15, wrote, "I used to feel that tortas were a cheap, convenient food to eat on the go. Usually fair to good. This place has opened my eyes to how great and complex they can be! Great service and great food."
Yelper Vasanth B. wrote, "Reviews are definitely on target. This place is great. The main manager up front, who might be the owner, saw that I was new. He welcomed me and walked me through the menu including the most popular items."
