About Tortas El Angel
Given the name, it shouldn't come as any surprise that the specialty at Houston's tidy taqueria Tortas El Angel is a take on the ubiquitous Mexican sandwich, the torta. Located in an older strip center filled mostly with Latino businesses bordering the Heights, the menu has grown in the past few years, but it's the tortas that still seem to entice most customers. A consistent pleaser is the straightforward La Pepito ($5.99, large; $7.99, giant). Served on sturdy telera bread, the sandwich features juicy pieces of steak, strands of both raw and deeply burnished onion, slices of quickly sautéed fresh jalapeño, a few wedges of avocado, and some pieces of tomato. It's piquant, flavorful and, given the comparative heft of the recently made bread, a lot less messy than the usual local torta.

Tortas El Angel Review By Monica S.: Houston, TX
"I stopped by Tortas El Angel after a long day of not eating and roaming around the Heights... I was pleasantly surprised to find this little torta shop!

Everything on the menu is cheap, fresh and made to order. You can build your own torta or choose one of their signature tortas. These guys have mastered the art of the torta!

Best of all, they sell Mexican coke! YUM!"
