A Taste of Mexico: What Makes King Torta Stand Out
King Torta is more than just a restaurant—it's a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors served in a welcoming, casual atmosphere. Known for its freshly prepared tortas, tacos, and burritos, King Torta specializes in traditional Mexican street food, offering an impressive selection of dishes that cater to a variety of tastes. From tender grilled meats to flavorful vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone at this delightful spot.
The Star of the Show: The Torta
What truly sets King Torta apart is, of course, their signature dish—the torta. A Mexican sandwich typically made with a soft, toasted roll, the torta is generously filled with your choice of meats, cheeses, avocado, beans, and a variety of fresh toppings. Whether you opt for carnitas (slow-cooked pork), carne asada (grilled steak), or a veggie version loaded with fresh ingredients, you’re guaranteed a flavorful and satisfying meal.
One of the standout features of King Torta’s tortas is the quality of the ingredients. The meats are perfectly seasoned, tender, and grilled to perfection, while the bread is fresh and light, providing just the right balance of texture. Paired with the vibrant, zesty sauces and toppings, every bite of a King Torta sandwich is a burst of flavor.
Tacos, Burritos, and More
While the torta is the star of the menu, King Torta also offers a variety of other Mexican favorites. Their tacos are served on soft corn tortillas, filled with flavorful meats like al pastor (marinated pork), chicken, and ground beef. Each taco is garnished with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime for that authentic street taco experience.
If you’re in the mood for something heartier, the burritos are a must-try. Packed with rice, beans, your choice of protein, and topped with salsa and sour cream, these burritos are filling and delicious. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic beef burrito or something with a bit more flair, like the shrimp burrito, there’s no shortage of tasty options to choose from.
A Welcoming Atmosphere
What truly makes King Torta a standout dining experience is the warmth and friendliness of the staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile, and the service is consistently top-notch. The restaurant itself has a cozy, no-frills atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. The open kitchen allows you to watch as your meal is prepared with care, adding to the overall experience.

This is my go-to for Mexican take out. One of the BEST places to get Mexican food in Oregon. Called-in an order a little before 1:00 on a Tuesday (carne asada burrito for me, cheeseburger and fries for the kiddos), and it was ready in 15 minutes like the person said. Their carne asada burrito is comparable in flavor to California's best. *Other best carne asada burrito in Portland is from Tienda Santa Cruz (St. John's) IMO. The kids crushed the fries and cheeseburger after I scraped off the good stuff - lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, thousand island. Support this authentic gem of a mom & pop shop! Directly across the street, facing Torta King, is a jealous, corporate-ass looking T@c0 B3ll. Eat at Torta King!
Isn't the fanciest place but the food is delicious. Order yourself and pickup your order at the counter. No outside seating but a lot of indoor seating. No alcoholic beverages but a large selection of sodas. A quiet restaurant even when full of customers-everyone was busy eating.
Authentic Mexican food! Tonight I was a first timer with my wife. We order regular chicken tacos, fajita tacos and some tacos so good! The service was nice and quick. The lady who worked the register told us what to order which was super helpful. We will define back because my wife and I love some authentic Mexican food.
I've stopped in here a few times over the years. This place has been here forever. Right on the main drag heading into North Plains but the building is easily missed if you aren't looking for it. Circa 1950's non-descript building with muted signage. Suits me as I hate crowded diners. They have a great breakfast burrito. It's massive and very tasty. Prices are decent and the food here is as Mexican as it gets. A tad hot for this anglo but I survive. Nice folks. I assume it's a family business. Friendly, efficient and the place is immaculately clean. There's a Taco Bell right across the street. I wonder how they stay in business with the King as competition. Mostly locals inside any time I've been there. Latinos mostly. If you are craving truly authentic Mexican fare this place will suit you well.
We were literally just driving by and thought we'd stop and give this a try. I had a King Torta and it as delicious. The soft on the inside, crispy on the outside bread with pork carnitas as excellent. It's a small setting, most people coming in were ordering to go, but since we live no where close, we sat. Not a great ambiance, but we love our experience either way.
