Jose's Torta Mexicana 793 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02476

"Tortas, tostadas, burritos, tacos and more! Great quality, tasty food. A definite step above most of the other mediocre Mexican food in the area. On every weekday they have a different 2 for 1 special that offers really good value."

"Quick, no-fuss, good food. "Jose's salad," pictured below, has been a staple for me for months. I like getting it with homemade Chorizo and kidding myself that it's still healthy! My other favorites: tacos Tonatico because of the homemade corn tortillas, enchiladas, and the fajita plate if you're dining in - it is served on the same plate it was grilled on and is quite fun."

"Jose's is a staple in my takeout rotation. I have tried a few of the Mexican food restaurants in the area and I always end up coming back to Jose's Torta Mexicana. I am a vegetarian and occasionally eat fish and their burritos are delicious and filling. The small will fill you up and the large is perfect for when you are starving. Their vegan options are terrific as well. Guacamole is free in their burritos, which is great in this day and age when everyone is charging extra for the basics. PS If you are a chipotle mayo fan, ask for a little on the side to spice up whatever you are ordering. The space inside is relatively small and nobody ever eats there, so if you want to eat there you can but it is very no frills. As a bonus, their bathroom is very clean which I would not expect for a Mexican takeout place."

"Great place! They have both meat and vegan options. I tried the vegan "carne asada" tacos and was not disappointed! Fresh authentic corn tortillas and perfectly seasoned fillings. The verde sauce was tasty. I didn't care for the red salsa, thought it was too watery. I recommend getting the guac with your chips instead, it was good! I got take-out. There are a couple of tables for dining in but it's a small place. No outdoor seating."

"Everything was delicious and so fresh tasting. We ordered enchiladas verdes, torta norteña, torta california(added rice, beans to these), tortilla soup(has a little bit of spice to it-not too strong though), churros and sopapillas from dessert menu. We will be going back again and for pozole too. Everything was terrific. It was all rich, refreshing with good flavor and I kinda felt like I was back in Mexico. This is one of the best places I've tried during this whole past 6 months and will be returning for sure. The restaurant looks very cute inside but we did a very easy order online and pickup."
