Born in Chicago, Tortazo is a restaurant by Chef Rick Bayless celebrating the flavors and foods of Mexico City. Our specialty, the Torta, is a mainstay of everyday Mexican eating: a delicious, Mexican sandwich on a locally made Telera roll, absolutely bursting with flavor. We think it’s the best way to experience the kind of food Mexico City locals have grown up eating. Before you know it, Tortazo will be your comfort food too. So stop by, try a torta, our famous guacamole, tacos, house made churros, or a fresh lime margarita, and make sure to bring your friends.
