“ Awesome Tortas, ended up having 2.. lots of different meats and fillings in the torta... Only one item on the menu so no extensive menus and options..served with green chicharones salsa which goes very well with it.. must try.. right next to the road so not really a atmospheric place.. just eat and go.. as a foreigner had no issues with cleanliness and hygiene.. will go again. ”
“ Muy buenas tortas de la barda, tienen un buen sabor, precio accesible, están muy bien servidas, Y el punto fuerte la salsa de chicharrón, es de las más picosas que he probado comparado con otros lugares, la recomiendo mucho. ”
“ Buenas tortas, ya no saben igual que hace años pero sin duda siguen siendo ricas, buen servicio, son rápidos con buena higiene y buen precio. La salsa es la mejor picosita pero sabrosa ”
“ Muy buenas las tortas y baratas en comparación de otros lugares, atienden rápido y muy buenas las aguas de sabores, lo malo es que al estar en la orilla se la avenida el ruido y olores de escape de camiones y carros predominan, fuera de eso todo muy bien.. ”
“ No soy muy fan de comer en la calle, pero las tortas chenchos me encantaron, desde la presentación hasta el sabor, acompañado con el escuis de hierro es otra cosa, para un día de mucho ajetreo o tuviste una noche de fiesta, nada como cargar pila con una buenísima torta de la barda chenchos. ”
