“**update 2025** - El primo still makes amazing tortas.”

**update 2025** - El primo still makes amazing tortas. **Review from 2014** - Torteria San Lenchito is a great spot for tortas ( sandwiches). The menu affords a sandwich for whatever you may be craving. Steak, chicken, pork. I am a big fan of their torta Philly Steak, which is a delicious take on a Philly cheese steak sandwich. I intend to try them all!

“Amazing food and quality.”

Amazing food and quality. Didn’t expect this place to be that good but it really is. The people are super nice, great service, and food comes out fast. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area. For some reason the beans were the best beans I’ve had in while. I don’t make reviews at all but this place definitely deserved it!

This place is life-changing - super nice staff, huge portions and incredible quality for the price. They made the best pollo en mole (mole chicken) torta I've ever eaten. The torta cubana was also fantastic. Definitely also try the cafe de olla (sweet cinnamon coffee). We will be back many times.

Good food and great customer service. I just have to warn about the green sauce. It’s super spicy.

“Food was phenomenal, we got the carne en su jugo and three tortas everything was very good and well...”

Food was phenomenal, we got the carne en su jugo and three tortas everything was very good and well made, fresh meats and bread. Service was a little spotty, server wasn't too attentive and when we were checking out they ran my friends card and he was charged three times (which they refunded so we'll see) aside from that I'll definitely be coming back.

“I DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE SOUTH-SIDE SUBURBS TO TRY THIS TORTA.”

I DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE SOUTH-SIDE SUBURBS TO TRY THIS TORTA. It was the BOMB! This small spot packs their tortas to the max . The bread is fresh , the meats are on point. Rice & beans are made fresh. I had to take another torta to go .

“I've been too many Mexican food restaurant but Torteria is probably one of my favorites.”

I've been too many Mexican food restaurant but Torteria is probably one of my favorites. Their menu offers a wide variety of great dishes that I love. Chicken burrito tasted so good. Would definitely bring my daughter and friends over to try next time around.

“I love being surrounded by all these great Mexican Restaurants in Albany Park.”

I love being surrounded by all these great Mexican Restaurants in Albany Park. I was glad to find this place. The food is amazing. These are some of the best tacos in the area especially for the the price. They had generous helpings of meat, onions, and salsas. I've probably tried about 15 Mexican restaurants in Albany Park and I think this took the #1 spot.
