Overview & Highlights

Tortas Gigantes Sur 12 stands out as a must-visit Mexican torta restaurant located in the bustling neighborhood of Agrícola Oriental, Iztacalco, in Ciudad de México. This spot is a haven for anyone craving authentic, generously portioned Mexican tortas and an array of other traditional delights, served fresh around the clock.

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the lively yet welcoming atmosphere—clean, vibrant, and buzzing with locals and night owls alike, thanks to their exceptional 24-hour service. Whether you arrive late in the evening or at peak lunch hour, the kitchen ensures every dish is freshly prepared and packed with bold, genuine flavors.

The star here, of course, is the torta. These substantial sandwiches are famously colossal, with one customer noting that a single Cubana torta, priced very fairly at around 89 pesos, can easily satisfy two hungry people. Each bite offers a satisfying combination of hearty fillings perfectly layered with just the right amount of bread, resulting in a comforting yet exciting flavor journey. Pairing your torta with their acclaimed sauces adds an irresistible punch: consider the guacamole combined with pineapple—a unique twist praised by regulars for striking the perfect balance of creamy and tangy.

But the menu doesn't stop at tortas. Visitors rave about the wide selection of tacos, including daring options like eyeball and brain tacos, which come plain or with a customizable range of fixings for those keen to experiment with authentic Mexican flavors. Fruit waters and large, half-liter fresh juices offer a delightful and refreshing complement to the savory offerings, while barbecues and coffee round out a diverse, satisfying menu.

Customer reviews underline the excellent service and attentiveness of the staff; a clean, spacious environment enhances the overall dining experience. Notably, the parking is convenient—a bonus for those driving in—and the restaurant sustains a vibrant daily rhythm, busy at all hours but never compromising on food quality. Take note, however, that payment is cash-only, so come prepared.

For late-night diners, Tortas Gigantes Sur 12 is a rare gem that keeps its kitchen doors open past midnight and beyond, providing a much-needed local refuge for fresh, flavorful Mexican fast food that honors tradition without skimping on quantity or taste.

In conclusion, Tortas Gigantes Sur 12 delivers more than just a meal—it’s a flavorful, hearty experience that captures the essence of Mexican street food culture, perfectly suited for hungry locals and adventurous visitors alike.

Good taste, and fair price. The great option to late dining if you come around. They still attend after midnight with option to dine in. The delivery use to forget all "extras", my personal recommendation is to attend directly. The best sauce option in my opinion is Guacamole, in combination with pineapple

Good place, clean and great service. Come with a big appetite, tortas are huge.

Delicious tortas, tacos, fruit water, fruit and lot more for all kinds of tastes. Totally recommended to get a tasty food time. The best of all: it’s opened 24 hours a day!!

Excellent meals and attention. The place is clean, the food tastes very good. Big sized juices are around half a litre and taste very well, they also serve coffee. The tacos are nice and their selection is big, they also have barbecues and tortas. Sauces taste nice too. They are spicy for the foreigner but you should give them a try. Main drawback is they don't accept cards, so be prepared with cash. A dinner can reach 5 dollars per person including the drinks. I recommend this place among all the others nearby. Keep up the good work.

Food is great and prices are excellent! 89 pesos a Cubana and you will be full guaranteed.

They're open and busy all day and night so food is always fresh! Many options to choose from when it comes to tacos. I had to try the eyeball taco and the brain taco. I decided to try em kinda plain so that I could really taste the eyeball and brain but they provide many fixings to add and customize your tacos. Will definitely be back and I absolutely recommend trying out this place.

Excelent service and the parking lot was spacious and in a good location Be mindful of the size of the food, one of the Tortas feeds 2 people EASILY
