So tasty omg. The biggest sandwich I’ve ever seen. This sandwich rocked my world. And as a result I am no longer a virgin. If mi madre is reading this I just want her to know that at the time I thought I was in love. But as we know sometimes we make mistakes. I finished… my torta.

I have to tell you this is an amazing family owned business and wow it is incredible! The famous Mexican tortas are so well made that you will want to come back for more! The famous torta is the cuban torta has so many different flavors and it is built to perfection in so many way, the bread they are using is also a big plus! I have been to all places in town and this is definitely one number place to go for authentic mexican torta(sandwiches) ps. If you like spicy ask for the good stuff in a small pink bag so much flavor and spice! Dont let me forget there mexican fresh waters are out of this world homemade and fresh not like those touristy places that use artificial syrup fake stuff.. the is the real deal!!

This lovely family-run restaurant makes delicious breakfast sandwiches.. they are large, satisfying and taste amazing! Prices are very reasonable. Definitely a great way to start a day of exploring ruins and cenotes! Be sure to make this a breakfast stop while you're in Valladolid .. you'll be glad you did!

Family owned and run Las Tórtolas is where you will feel like you’re visiting old friends. They not only prepare good food, they really put the love into it. Have a sandwich or quesadillas. Maybe a burrito. Mix it up. There’s plenty to choose from. A nice cup of coffee. Or homemade natural fruit water. The people are nice. So you be nice too. Pay them a visit. They will be happy to serve and you’ll be happy you went.

Best Tortas i had in Mexico! Highly recommend going there for a bite! The Torta Cubana is definitely a statement! For the vegetarians: the Torta con Huevos is super good! Friendly Staff and fast service! Also fair prices! All in all: 5/5

Very nice breakfast place with a very kind owner and family! I can highly recommend the vegetarian and egg sandwich (everything is freshly made). Also the homemade horchata and hibiscus [jamaica] juice were one of the best ones we have tried in Yucatan!

We highly recommend this place. We only found it at our last day in Valladolid, which was sad because we would have come here every day if possible. The owner is such a nice and friendly person who made us feel very welcomed. The toasts are great, filled with loads of fresh and good ingredients. Also you should try the Agua de Tamardindo which was delicious! Prices are very fair and portions are big! (Toasts in the picture are vegetarian and pollo)
