I would give this restaurant a 6-star if I could! I had a phenomenal experience at Torta Boyz and fully understand why the patio filled up within the first hour of opening. The food that they serve is simply incredible and deserving of all the hype.We ordered the Carne Asada Torta and the Asada fries to share and I’m not lying when I say every bite was packed with flavour. The portions were quite large too. We had leftovers to take home despite sharing the items. I will definitely be back to try more menu items as this restaurant offered a unique and exceptional culinary experience!
TLDR: I don't recommend this restaurant. The food is just okay and very pricey.As a Mexican living in Ottawa, I was really excited about this place, but now, I have mixed feelings. I had tried to eat at this restaurant 3 times in the last couple of months, but for one reason or another, I couldn't. Mostly because information about the restaurant is only shared on Instagram and I don't have a instagram account. I repeatitively missed updates about the restaurant and by the time I had arrived, it was closed or something had happened.My wife and I were finally able to eat at this restaurant. We decided to order over the phone and pick it up. To our surprise, they don't have a phone. You can only order over the counter or using an food delivery app. I didn't like this AT ALL. We arrived and we had to wait for our food more than 20 min. We wanted to try "tortas", but they were ran out of "Tortas" on a Saturday evening. This is their MAIN DISH and they don't have "Tortas"??? It made no sense. Ok, we ordered "Asada fries" with toppings. To my surprise, "Asada fries" DO NOT include "carne asada". If they don't include it, why are they called "Asada Fries". Only the owner and God know why. The cheery on top for my visit was that you cannot order "Asada fries" + "carne asada" or "pastor". This makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE TO ME.Once I passed this "problem", we ordered 1 "Asada fries" + "Chorizo" and 1 with "Barbacoa de Res". The toppings were rich and tasty (as they should be), but the fries and the toppings were lacking cohesion. I felt I was eating fries with toppings on the side. For these two assess fries, I paid between 35-40 dollars. After eating my fries, I felt it was not worth it. So please, go somewhere else and buy yourself better food.I should say that if you are not Mexican (or Latino or from a country with tasty cuisine) or if you haven't tried out Mexican food, you will for sure find this food tasty and rich. However, I don't find this restaurant and its food memorable. There are other mexican restaurant with better mexican cuisine in the city. I don't recommend this restaurant all.
Great little place off Preston in Little Italy. Small menu but great food and flavors. Cool outdoor ambience with upbeat music playing.
Crunchy buns and greasy in a good way, I appreciate all the care went into making them, portion sizes are also good.However I just feel the taste leans too much into the salty and greasy (and sour), the Torta tastes good at first but then my taste buds start quitting on me near the end since the saltiness and greasiness started to overwhelm about half way through it, it doesn't leave me wanting more. I feel the sauce needs something more, maybe sweetness? As it is the flavour profile is too one dimensional.All in all I enjoyed it, but it's not really making me craving for another one.

Great food!!! Bring more napkins as it gets messy especially when you bite into tortas! Food is flavourful and spicy. I am definitely coming back for more.
Love the foid and service here. Very tasty!!
The food is just insane!!! So good!! We had the carne asada sandwich and the beef brisket fries. A little bit salty but so much flavor!! A must!!
Very good food. Be prepared for a line, but in my opinion it is worth the wait. The servings are also huge. I could barely eat half of one Torta myself. Definitely worth checking out.
Real juicy and a large enough sandwich to be shared if you get the fries as well
