Tortas Rainbow - Española

The Mexican food here is fantastic. You definitely shouldn't miss the tacos and tortas. The fries are nearly perfect—just a little something crispy would elevate them even more. The homemade drinks are also outstanding.

I am here for my first real Torta, a large oval Mexican sandwich, in this case served on an oversized, roasted Hamburger-like bungalow. It is dense with my choice of desebrada (moist, shredded beef), salad and cut tomatoes and avocado. I pour a small dish of green salsa over this mixture to kick things on a notch.

We drove through Espanola on the way to Taos. Order of Barbacoa tacos, Barbacoa Torta, chicken Burrito and enchiladas. Barbacoa and chicken were phenomenal. My daughter loved her strawberry smoothie. The owner and his son were very friendly and generous.

Great food, lots of shady characters go around and hang around and ask for money, or other things

We stopped by for some local breakfast burritos on our way home from Santa Fe. We arrived just as they opened, and it took about ten minutes to receive our three burritos. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I loved seeing the woman dancing inside—you can really taste the love in the food. If I lived nearby, this would definitely be one of my go-to places!
